- How do you change your avatar on this forum?
You should be able to click the "Circle D" that currently represents where your avatar would be. This will take you to your profile. You should see a icon (by the Circle D on your profile on desktop, I think its to the left of your Circle D profile symbol on mobile) that allows you to change your photo. Max file size is .1MB. Once you upload the picture, it should give you the option to 'center' the image so you can get what you want in the profile area.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming at you at 24fps
I think Alien and Beetlejuice sequels look good. Hoping for the best for both of them.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming at you at 24fps

I love Deep Rising, Stephen Sommers film before THE MUMMY (1999). That said, they could have not killed Una Damon's character so early as I liked her banter with Kevin J. O'Conner and Treat Williams and it'd have been nice to keep the crew together for longer. Loads of fun actors in support too (Wes Studi, Jason Flemyng, Anthony Held, and Djimon Hounsou from the top of my head).- The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
I understand it's set 100 years before THE PHANTOM MENACE and involves a former Palawan forced to team with their previous Jedi Master to investigate a series of mysterious crimes.- The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition

Kuehnle didn't run for governor of NJ, but was supporting the Republican candidate Vivian Lewis, who lost to Wilson in 1910. Kuehnle was the boss of the political machine in Atlantic city at the time. It was reported in the New York Times that Keuhnle, on behalf of Lewis, did deliver more votes for Lewis in Atlantic City that there were voters. He was paying people to vote for deceased voters still on the rolls and for seasonal hotel employees in Atlantic City who weren't in town in November but whom he'd gotten to register to vote. Wilson ran partially on cleaning up politics in NJ, and was able to successfully pursue criminal charges against Kuehnle after he got elected. Kuehnle was chairman of the water commission and Wilson was able to uncover where Kuehnle was changing contract terms to pay companies he owned more money from government contracts that was originally bid. Knucky Johnson took over the machine, and while Kuehnle came back after his conviction and got elected to the city commission, he never wielded the same power again. This happened prior to the Volstead Act / Prohibition (1920-1933); Atlantic City however was home to a large number of criminal rackets (gambling and prostitution, primarily I believe) and a political machine believed to be as effective as Tammany Hall or the Vare's in Philidelphia.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming at you at 24fps

RIP. I remember first reading about Toriyama in Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics. He was then mostly known in 1983 when it was published for "Dr. Slump" and was just starting out. I think the entry might have mentioned him launching Dragonball in passing as it would have launched the same year Manga! Manga! did. So imagine my surprise years later to see the popularity of DragonBall and his character designs in video games when they started hitting here not knowing what a phenom he'd become.- Obituary thread

This seems the natural way to keep it going. Not sure what Phase we get to Willburys and All-Starr Band, though.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming at you at 24fps
Kinda stacking all the big names in the first wave. Should have been like - Wave 1: Paul, George, Pete Best, George Martin (Streaming: Stuart Sutcliffe Season 1) Wave 2: John, Ringo, Tommy Moore, Geoff Emerick & Glyn Johns buddy movie (Streaming: Stuart Sutcliffe Season 2, Yoko Ono Season 1) Clearly they're not thinking about what the Beatles Cinematic Universe could really be.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming at you at 24fps

Looks a lot like the original film but with digital effects to me. But then again, the original film was (to me) just a good popcorn film. Hopefully they've cooked up something similarly iconic, but I imagine if they'd shown a flying cow everyone would be like "OMG how unimaginative, they're just retreading the first film right down to the ****ing flying cow...". Can't really win whatever they do. Or maybe I'm just cynical about humanity.- What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
