    Total turning point
  2. I mean, it's not a strict script.
  3. Unless that's the first two frames of Star Wars, yeah, no bueno. Sucks, but it's just a cheaper-to-replace situation. I'm hard pressed to splurge for much these days.
  4. Most believable movie-older-couple I can recall.
  5. I saw this with my parents as a kid. Got caught up with the fishing with grandpa scenes as a kid, but still appreciated the performances of Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn. And the other four actors in the movie, who I think were famous too (I'm looking at you, Dabney Coleman. Anyway, it doesn't get mentioned enough. This scene stuck with me from the first time I saw it.
  6. He's all over the place! What an asshole! Me and My Uncle was a ripper.
  7. Feels Like a Stranger is super synthy. Then, it slams on the breaks with FotD. Would have liked a little more momentum, but I'm going to shut up, listen to this, and remember good times. edit: This is painfully (heroin?) slow. edit2: Not I.
  8. Truth, in Houston, is pretty good supposedly. Toward the end of your drive though. Safe travels.
  9. One track in, and this show is hitting hard. But that's as far as I've listened.
  10. My kid was at Blanton. I didn't tell him about my relative palace at Towers in the 90s. He likes his roommate. Mine was awful. He wins.
  11. 2016 and 2017 were rough. We lost Prince, Bowie, and Petty. I think we were probably going to get some good music out of all of them. Also, this country hasn't been the same since then.
  12. A friend of mine, whose wife is a school teacher (citizen who immigrated from El Salvador) said 150 of her school's Latino kids didn't show up on Monday, presumably scared to come to school.
  13. On the "password only" front, if you are going to lose your phone to LEO, make sure to wipe your sleeve across the screen a few times. Pretty easy to see pin unlocks from greasy finger smudges on the screen.
  14. Frank Zappa. It probably wouldn't have seen commercial success, but he had more music to make.
  15. I had a dead line of pixels on my Hisense a few years ago. They were very responsive and, after a few weeks, I got a replacement. But before that, they sent someone out to take a hammer to the screen of the old one so there was no chance of it being resold. It was a process, but I got it replaced.
  16. Agree with this. I posted the thread about halfway through.
  17. As someone who generally avoids "the news" these days, I had higher hopes for Surly as a source.
  18. So apparently, he's still alive.
  19. I agree that the Departed gets better upon rewatch(es). Goodfellas still is the greatest, although I love Godfather (1&2).
  20. We'll all be eating old gym mats and drinking malk by then.
  21. I think I read "on hold for 30 days," which likely is a not.
