How fucked up in the head must a person be to stick up for a cunt like David?!?!?!
Water intoxication became national news almost 20 years ago when some poor lady killed herself trying to win a Nintendo Wii from a radio station holding a water drinking contest. She drank 5 gallons in 15 minutes or something crazy like that.
Never thought about it before, tbh.
I recently bought the 4K box set. The first one I watched was World's End. Because that was the one I hadn't re-watched yet since it came out. I love it, I think it's about as good as the others. But clearly it's my least favorite.
That was a few months ago. Last weekend, I finally pulled another UHD out of the set to watch. Shaun, which is why I'm on this board right now. I picked Shaun because, next to World, it'd been the longest since I re-watched it.
I don't know when I'll get around to re-watching Hot Fuzz, because the last time I re-watched it was probably only a couple of years ago. I've re-watched it at least three or four times, so obviously it's my favorite.
Hopefully the people who made the three movies will stop referring to them as a trilogy someday.
A 4K stream is great when it's working perfectly. But there's no guarantee it will stream perfectly in 4K 100% of the time. Any little blip or glitch in the stream, it will dynamically reduce resolution until it's sufficiently buffered again. Sometimes it's a tiny barely noticeable drop, other times it'll cut to 480p for a few seconds. It's rare, but it's inevitably going to happen at times even with the most reliable service providers. 99% of the time I don't really give a shit. But if it's a movie I really like and it's available on UHD, which ~is~ guaranteed 4K from start to finish, I'm grabbing it.
I pre-ordered all three months ago, they arrived at my doorstep on Monday 3/18.
I have a 50mbp connection and 4K streaming looks very nice, but UHD is superior.
I could have sworn they did a perfluorocarbon demonstration with a rat on the TV show 'That's Incredible' several years before The Abyss. It would have been 1981 or '82. I never missed an episode when I was a kid.

Got my 4K copy yesterday, watched the first 45 min last night. Gorgeous.
Erica's therapist in so many words told her to stop wallowing in her own depressing shit and just go out and get laid. Charlie was the quickest/easiest option, and that's all he was to her. She never for a moment saw him as someone she would be in a relationship with.
The world is now full of people who are apparently just too young to know: after the "Sexual Revolution" in the late 1960s, lots of otherwise respectable grown ass adults were running around fucking whoever they felt like without a second thought. The only reason it stopped was A.I.D.S. in 1983.
It's been 8 years since you posted this, are you still a blithering ree-ree?
I just saw a retrospective interview from 2020; Michael Murphy (Martin) said that he really came to understand just how much of a piece of shit the character was because for a few years after the movie came out, whenever he went out in public people would recognize him, but instead of asking for his autograph or whatever, they'd just give him dirty looks.
I can smell Trump's cum and shit on your breath from here.
To me it seemed unstated yet fairly obvious that her not going to Vermont was essentially a deal breaker. I thought it was clear that he had no intention of simply waiting around to be with her again and being unfulfilled in the mean time. He loved her, he wanted her, he needed her, but being without her for so long wasn't something he was willing to endure. She seemed to understand that and accept it and was already determined to keep looking for the right guy. They hadn't been together long enough to form much of a bond, and they were both well adjusted adults more or less, so there was no need for melodrama or hysterics; neither of them was 'happy' about they outcome, all they could do was get on with their lives. Again, none of this is stated outright in the script, it's just my personal take. But to me it was obvious in their acting performances, which were just top fucking notch. The tones in their voices, the looks in their eyes. They told me everything I needed to know about what was going on between them.
I agree that Jackie Brown is a good movie. I like it a little more every time I watch it. But it's hands down Tarantino's weakest movie, by a mile. Every movie he makes, he slathers it with his unique special sauce until it's dripping with it. JB is the exception to the rule. When he made Jackie Brown, he put in like three measly drops of QT sauce. It barely feels like a Tarantino movie. Outside of a couple of moments it feels like something a hundred other directors could have made. When someone says "Jackie Brown is Tarantino's best movie" they might as well say "I don't like Tarantino movies very much." OUTIH is pure Tarantino to the core.
It was sort of a repeat of what Apple did to IBM with the Apple II 30 years earlier.
No, but for several years it seemed like every single manager or exec I came into contact with owned one.
The scenario in the movie you refer to didn't strike me as the least bit odd.
You, however, obsessing over it and being creepy about it, you strike me as very odd.
I don't think she saw him as an idiot. He wasn't an idiot. An idiot wouldn't be so self-aware as Tom was. He was articulate, even witty at times. He could be charming when he wanted to. His problem was that he was uninterested in pretty much everything. He didn't know things because he didn't care to know. He was obsessed with his own success, but not interested in putting in the effort. He looked for shortcuts. He was also sometimes aloof and manipulative. He obviously genuinely liked Jane, but on the other hand he wanted to use her for his own success.
Jane knew Tom was shallow and uninformed and disinterested. But she didn't think he was a bad person, so she let his finer points win her over. Then she finds out just how shallow and manipulative he's capable of being, and that's the end of the line for her, at least in terms of romance.
One of the stunt men who was in the movie posts on Facebook, occasionally he shows some very cool behind-the-scenes stuff. A while back he claimed someone sent him a file of the Rollerball rough cut which was almost FOUR HOURS long. He said the last game with NY was originally much longer and more graphically violent. He listed listed a few examples of what had to be cut out to get the R rating.
The ones I remember are-
An unconscious skater being run over by multiple bikers until it looks like his pelvis is almost separated from his torso.
A biker crashing face-first into the handrail and his face being reduced to "red goo."
A skater getting slammed backward into the barrier between the track and the center bullpen, folding him over it, and afterward a nice close-up of his compound fractured spine.
