Hit Hard, Run Fast, Turn Left. The 2022 Baseball Thread
Amentep replied to Guard Dog's topic in Way Off-Topic
Since its Pittsburgh, I'm guessing the name is from the Whiskey Rebellion? Yeah Dodger Stadium still looks like a 60s stadium which wasn't a great era for park design. I gotta confess, though, I like it existing since I think its cool to have a park with history rather than making a new one every few years (even if some of the modern throwback designs look nicer). But then again, if Atlanta had been forced to use its existing park when the Braves came to town, there'd be a magnolia tree in center field (Babe Ruth hit a home run into it in exhibition play, IIRC). -
Hit Hard, Run Fast, Turn Left. The 2022 Baseball Thread

Federal League had some fun team names. Chicago Whales? Newark Peppers? St. Louis Terriers? I'd include the Pittsburg Stogies, but they were named after the Union Association team in the 1884. I never thought about it before, but as Wrigley Field was originally a Federal League stadium, then that makes Dodger Stadium (of 1962) the oldest stadium built specifically for use in the National League that is also still in use. -

IIRC, Honus passed away the next year (about a year and a half after this letter was wrote). -
She's an Armaroid - essentially a nigh-indestructable robot.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Where is Ricky Gervais when you need him???
Amentep replied to Zoraptor's topic in Way Off-Topic
Yes it is, apparently its the third film they've bought to stream. -
I have the 3DS remake of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers and only played it for a very, very little bit. Nothing to do with quality, but my "gaming life" is really out-of-whack with "work life" and "quality of life life"

Space Cobra Episode XIII: "Shi no Rūretto" aka "The Roulette of Death" 6 months later, and Dominique has left to return to the Galactic Patrol. Lady brings a listless Cobra news a hijacking of gold, and he realizes that it has to have been hijacked by the head of Space Las Vegas, Hammerbolt Joe. It was an okay adventure, sort of a back-to-basics story after the grand adventure. But...

I thought Afterlife was fun, but wasted Ivor Shandor. Then again, I think the original is venerated far outside its actual merits. Its a fun film, but that's about it.

I used to see most major genre releases (and a lot of minor ones) in the theater. But I also have a high tolerance for bad filmmaking if it hits the right tone (I watched Plan 9 from Outer Space without need of hosts spoofing it). I actually liked Alien: Ressurrection but admittedly that partially may be because MK:A made it look good. I probably like 4 more than 3 too, but I don't think I've ever really forgiven its failure to be a true sequel to Aliens.

Also saw it in theaters. Saw MK: Annihilation on a double bill with Alien: Ressurrection.

TNG 'Sub Rosa' - Yet another episode where a characters begins acting out of character and everyone ignores it. Your appreciation of the episode probably depends on your ability to appreciate 70s Gothic romances more than Star Trek. Which makes it a bit of a bust as a Star Trek episode. -
I saw HOUSE OF THE DEAD and ALONE IN THE DARK in theaters... EDIT: According to the trivia, Alone in the Dark was one of two films in 2005 to receive an "F" Cinemascore. The other was WOLF CREEK which...I also saw in theaters.

Based on wording used (Helel ben Shachar (son of the morning) and his title Hêlêl ben Šāḥar (bringer of dawn) to reference the morning star) hell is probably the planet Venus and I claim my No-Prize. ... ... ... Whaddya mean that only works for Marvel Comics from the 60s and 70s?

Why be terrified of things that in no way, shape or means can you effect? Things (not just this, but anything) outside of your control will either happen or it won't, you worrying about it only affects you. Better to put effort in things you can control (preparedness or mitigation at your personal level).

Reeves has been in a few film and tv properties, but I don't think any of them are definitive portrayals or accounts (and now after nothing much, there's supposed to also be projects from Amazon and HBO as well in development). I'd imagine we might have the 2019 WATCHMEN tv show to thank for bringing him back into the public consciousness in a big way.
