Christian Bale movies are always must-see movies for me.

That reminds me, I still haven't seen that Tom of Finland movie.

I just thought it was really predictable and boring.

Should I really watch it? Saw a few seconds of it but then it felt so much like this bubble anime, which was to me just such a huge amount of wasted time. 😄

I agree, they really should have killed some of the main cast and give new people a chance to shine. Now we have some character stories that will repeat at infinity. 🥲

Sounds good to me. It's painful if someone takes your brainchild away. That said, kinda sucks that his book isn't available in english.

I'm pretty sure Stranger Things is considered horror. Especially s1, which is still the best one. The thing with horror is, though, that you usually get desensitized fast, which makes it feel less like horror in later seasons. However, I do think the last season made me feel a bit more again in that direction, so...

The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
Haven't watched live tv in probably 10 years now. Usually I'm trying to prevent everything with ads as much as possible. But it's getting really annoying lately that Amazon Prime is showing stuff in front of every movie now. And worst is that it's always the same trailers. Saw the LotR tv show trailer probably 50 times and I got so fed up with it, it made me not want to ever check it out.

Tested this new amazon freevee thingy because there was a show I wanted to see and was like, meh, whatever. First things first: Having 3 blocks of adverts in a 20 minute episode is an absolute pain in the butt, even if those blocks are only 1 1/2 minute. After a while those feel like 5 minutes and I just wanted to die. Especially since I always saw the exact same ads. However, seems there is some sort of timeout or limit for how often a spot plays, because after like 3 or 4 hours I stopped getting adverts. So I swapped over to Bosch: Legacy and in 3 50 minute episodes I had 1 advert break of 30 seconds. Yay, I guess.

Quotes got so bad they had to bring back the best Doc? The problem is just that the issue wasn't really the actors, but the dogpoop writing.

Funny, I never found her attractive ever since I saw that stuff. It was like a 110% turn off for me.

What are you Playing Now? Whatever happens, at least we're out of that mudhole, Gilded Vale.
Heh, I played Train Simulator for quite a while. But it does get kinda dull after a while.

He is not wrong. Personally I also feel a need to play low-anxiety games, and from my past experience that means we might be up to something soon.

****ing hell, our government wants to sell parts of our harbor in Hamburg to China. I can't believe this crap. They have learned NOTHING at all. https://www-tagesschau-de.translate.goog/investigativ/ndr/kanzleramt-china-hamburg-hafen-101.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Some interesting things: Now 7 Russian drone pilots in Norway of which at least one is clearly an operative for their government: https://dronedj.com/2022/10/19/norway-russian-drone-pilot-arrest/ Sweden has lost more than 100(!) speeding cameras since August. Someone takes them down and steals them. Suspicions are aimed at Russia but nothing proven. Question is: Who else needs 100 very special cameras suitable for drones and restricted from buying, in a short period of time? https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/KzExwy/fartkameror-stulna-och-forstorda Shetland lost its SECOND underwater cable to mainland UK. One cable is possible to lose to fishing and such, but two in a week is....let's say unlikely.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-63326102?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA Stolen from reddit.

In defense, I also don't know the names of male voice actors, with the exception of David Hayter.
