Movies The Abyss 4K Remaster in Theaters December 6th
ort replied to Keyser_Soze's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
The Directors Cut makes some pretty massive changes to the ending of the movie if I remember correctly... This used to be one of my favs and I haven't seen it since I was a teenager... I might actually go check this out. Edit, so it's out one day only and that one day is a Wednesday??? -
General Gaming Do you still buy video game magazines?
ort replied to Remarkableriots's topic in The Spawn Point
No, but I miss the days in my childhood when I would listen for the mail coming and run down in hopes that the newest issue of EGM or whatever would be there. I subscribed to like 3-4 gaming magazines at a time and I would read them all cover-to-cover every single month. It's wild to think of how slowly information traveled back then compared to now. -
In my entire life, I cannot name a single instance where I felt like something negative happened to me because I was Jewish. I've heard a decent amount of bad Jew jokes or messed up commentary by people who did not know I was Jewish, but never from progressives, almost always from conservative country folks. Most people treat Judaism as an interesting novelty.

Movies The Marvels - 11/10/2023 - first trailer
ort replied to Spork3245's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I've seen some early review on tin Tok that were pretty positive... oh well... I think I'm pretty much off the Marvel train at this point anyway. I've only seen about a third of the content they've put out the last 2 years or so... including Secret Invasion and Ms Marvel which both seem like they would be important to enjoying this... I also did not like the Captain Marvel movie very much. -

Feels unnecessary. -
My wife works for a construction company and has just been sent a rider to an existing contract that makes them promise not to boycott Israel or use any other companies that are participating in a boycott of Israel or they will lose the contract. This is from a large local general contractor construction company for a job for a community college in Missouri. Good times.

I can't wait to see the broadway version of this version... -
What a week!!! To recap what we learned about the show… - ATOM EVE special episode live NOW. Go watch it. Twice. Three times, maybe? - Atom Eve is the best. This is not new information, it just should be reiterated whenever possible. - First four episodes of Season 2 start Nov. 3, airing weekly through Nov. 24. - Then there will be a short break for you to take a breath, hug your family, and reflect on what you just experienced in Episode 204. - Next four episodes will arrive in early 2024. - Season 3 voice recording is complete and will help ensure there won’t be as long a gap again. - Sterling K. Brown is Angstrom Levy (!!!), Peter Cullen is Thaedus (!!!), and more legends like Rhea Seehorn, Tatiana Maslany and Josh Keaton are joining Season 2. SORRY, POORLY WORDED. Posted JULY 25th, 8 posts up from that other post...

Movies What, in your opinion, are the best Horror-Comedy movies?
ort replied to Spork3245's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I know I'm breaking your rules with a straight up horror parody flick, but does anyone remember that early 80s horror spoof Student Bodies? I've always had a soft spot for that movie and think it's kind of a lost gem. No one seems to even know it exists. One of my favorite movie quotes of all time is from that flick and I still use it at least every few months... "All these years I have been secretly naked underneath my clothes." -
I think some Palestinians are salty that so much more value seems to be placed on the lives of Israelis. Like, where were the posters for Palestinians over the last 70 years? Why don't they put up posters in the street when Israel destroys an apartment building with a rocket? Why is that any less of a tragedy? Also, putting up missing persons posters in America for someone missing in Israel is nothing more than war propaganda. It serves no real purpose beyond riling people up. I'm not condoning this behavior, just explaining their thought process. They 100% should not be ripping down the posters. It is a vile thing to do and is not helping their cause. I'm very disappointed that America is not doing more to try to de-escalate this situation and is instead seemingly only interested in fanning the flames of war.

It's fascinating that during this American ships and baes in the region have been repeatedly fired upon and the US military has done multiple airstrikes in Syria targeting Iranian linked military bases and it's barely even being discussed in the mainstream news... I mean, you know, someone somewhere thinks maybe we should maybe consider options beyond "BOMB EVERYTHING NOW NOW NOW" and thus they hate all jews and are basically nazis for having that opinion... let's focus on that. I think Rashida Talib made a thoughtful nuanced statement, let's call her a terrorist, dehumanize her and threaten to lock her up for treason. That will make this whole thing better. I think it's really important that anyone who has any opinion beyond LET'S TURN GAZA INTO RUBBLE is a known anti-semite America hating monster worthy of imprisionment or death. It's really starting to remind me of post 9/11 America and how much we all lost out minds. You know what, I still remember people ripping me to shreds for not wanting to go to war after 9/11, and guess what, I was right then and I am right now... We can do better. We need to do better. DO FUCKING BETTER.

The night they melted old Dixie down
ort replied to thewhyteboar's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
I enjoyed the multiple comments on Fox News saying "If they are so proud of doing this, then why did they have to do it in secret?" Critical thinking skills aren't always on point with these people.
