    Mission: Impossible is over 22 years old. That's pretty fuckin' old for a film (I'm 31 years old). 

     

    Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation may be the best M:I movie. All of them are entertaining in their way, though all of them lack any real character depth or substance, they are fun action-espionage films. 

     

    I look forward to a second go-around with writer-director Christopher McQuarrie. 

     

    Jurassic Park is 25 years old. It still holds up today. 

     

    For some reason MI:1 looks likes its a movie from the mid-80s. 

  2. Ill have to disagree with just about everyone in here. First, I am a NY'er.  My wife has family all over the country and Canada. Some of this family were originally from NY. I have visited these people all over the country and have also traveled to many places in the country. 

     

    1.) NY Pizza outside of the metropolitan area is not the same.  CT/NJ/Eastern PA and some of Upstate NY do it right but no where else in the country is it remotely close to being the same. 

    2.) Same thing goes for Bagels. Outside of the metropolitan area, its not the same. This purely anecdotal obviously, but I was chatting it up with guy who owns a bagel store in Florida. He was originally from NY and had a bagel store up here.  He even stated he cannot replicate the NY Style bagel down here no matter what he does. Even so much as having dough shipped down. He attributes this to the water being different. Maybe thats true, I have no idea. If that is actually a thing, maybe it also has to do with the Pizza as well. 

     

    You also left off another food which is not the same anywhere else for some reason - this is the BEC - Bacon/Egg/Cheese on a Roll. .Seems like this can be replicated, but it cant for whatever reason. This is mostly a LI thing. Even NYC doesn't do it as good. 

     

    Now - with that... getting back to my first paragraph, the reason I mentioned is because ALL OF THESE PEOPLE beg us to bring/ship them Pizza and Bagels. Without fail, every time I visit them I have to pack a fucking freezer worth of shit!!!

    Ready Player One is awesome in UHD. Not sure if it’s intentional but it’s oretty average when they’re in the real world then eye popping gorgeous when they’re in the Oasis. 

    Cant wait to see this. I missed it in the movies and had recently finished reading the book. Im waiting to watch it on UHD-BR to get the best audio/video experience from it. Its painful to hold out as Ive seen UHD codes floating around already for 8-10 bux.

    The 60’s and 70’s style doom/stoner is getting really overcrowded to the point it takes too much effort to sort the good from bad.

     

    agreed.  i really love the genre but man is there a fuck ton of bands and they all sound so similar... kind of like what happened to black metal in the mid-late 90s to basically now. 

     

    BTW - I love pig destroyer. Saw them a month or two ago with some classic NYDM bands. awesome show.
