Anything Goes 30: Topicality Not Found

[JaegerDice]

Well.... at least they made Rey more interesting this time? Like last time, this is entirely Kylo Ren's movie, and you spend every minute he's off screen waiting for him to get back so something meaningful can happen.

SMG in Wheaton or Ipic is 1000x better than HB. Those ****ty office chairs ::shiver::

Ipic is pretty pricey tho.

I agree. I live closer to ipic than hb but like you said. It's pricey.

Kylo Ren is the Team Rocket of Star Wars.

Speaking of Net Neutrality, check your names at Fake Comments | New York State Attorney General

Found my wife's maiden name and old address as supporter for Pai. Sent in a false comment form to attorney general.

Fortunately, my name wasn't among the millions stolen.

Though seeing NN brought back up here reminded me of this tweet I saw on another site a few days ago.



Comcast playing cheap and dirty.

I had satellite internet for a year because it was the only alternative to Comcast. Never again.

Yeah, outside of satellites, Comcast is my only option as well. That's why killing Net Neutrality is such bullshit. ISPs know that the majority of Americans have only one or two legit options for internet. They have the consumers by the balls, and can nickel and dime without any repercussions from consumers.

I am going to do what I always do

I will wait for it to come out on DVD

You should see movies on the new OLED TVs. Holy crap. 65” LG. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are amazing. Dark scenes (lots of movies) are so much better. Netflix/Amazon have a decent amount of titles with HDR now.

I still just enjoy the movie-going experience. There are certain movies that were immeasurably better on the big screen, like The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Dunkirk.... wait, am I just naming Nolan films?

I'm waiting on the Panasonic TX-65EZ1002B to hit stateside before jumping into OLED.

For now, my VT50 plasma still looks great.

I haven't watched any of The Walking Dead Season 8... I just caught up this weekend...

Just end the show. The writers are just embarrassing themselves.

If the show doesn't Glenn this situation up, as a comic reader they will have gotten me on board for at least another half season. It's the first real shock since the beginning of season 7.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

But that's from somebody who loves the walking dead universe. I've spent over a $100 on the walking dead compendiums and $60 on the telltale games stories. I can forgive shoddy writing in exchange for some shocking twists.

I'm currently on volume 4 of the Saga series, a comic I'd highly recommend to anybody who's into graphic novels. It's GoT meets star wars with some Romeo and Juliet thrown in.

Also pumped for the Netflix original Bright which comes out Friday. It's similar to the Shadowrun universe, which is probably my all time favorite backdrop.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I'm also about halfway through Metro 2034, sequel to Metro 2033, one of the best science fiction books I've ever read.

Biggest problem with twd for me is that I’m not invested in any of the characters that weren’t already on the show by around season 3. And that would bother me less if the plot wasn’t moving at a snail’s pace. I still watch it, but halfheartedly.

 

[Blue Liner]

Last week I just finished up Season 7 of the TWD. It semi has my interest back but definitely kind of plodding along.

The guy that plays Negan is just masterful, though. I don't know how his character is in the comic/original story but he is just so entertaining to me.

It looks like a knockoff of Alien Nation

Just substituted orcs for aliens

An Amtrak train has derailed in Washington

Train cars came off tracks and crashed down onto freeway

Sadly they are reporting multiple fatalities

 

[Sarava]

Oh, that's terrible.

 

[BK]

Have they said what has caused it?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

No

An NTSB investigation team is going to scene

Also it was apparently the inaugural run for this new route for Amtrak trains. Gotta imagine that is something they will look at

77 people have been transported to hospitals

I am a huge Nolan fan and Interstellar might be my #1 movie. And yes, it does look better on the big screen.

Well, I have moved over to binge watching TWD because I am no longer willing to play their games and be left on cliffhangers or the same ol circle play they want to do. I watch them in half seasons, gives me enough good content which I am happy. I thought Season 8 started off fantastic and then flat lined. Flatlined hard at episode 7, 8.

Bingo... Also, I miss Tyreese... that hammer was so BA.

There isn't a lot of content out there so I will take any TV content that is pretty good over no content. lol.

I'm really hoping I don't make myself watch TWD when it comes back. Brutal season, but I haven't been able to quit thus far. Show has completely fallen apart.

 

[Blue Liner]

So has the show completely strayed from the original story line in the novel at this point or is it close? I know the show has changed some things along the way but overall I'm curious what those who are more versed in the story have to say.
