Afternoon Typhoon 1.21 mile/1.94 km Lap Sea Race for up to 30 players Available boats: Squalo, Suntrap, Seashark, Speeder 1 lap = ~1m 30s (Squalo) Intended as a contact race with several crossovers with jumps for some sea banger racing or non-contact for a more competitive race. Situated around the Del Perro Pier and passes through underneath it. Made for the Squalo, but a select few other options available, like the Suntrap (easiest to control, but slowest available boat), Seashark (very difficult to get through without crashing, but fastest option) and Speeder (very difficult to avoid crashing, but very fast). Make a bet and get wet! Very…

RSC Link Race your Seashark over land and water in this homage to the Playstation classic. This is an older race that was severely impacted by the Trigger Location bug and I had been unable to fix it. Apparently the problem was fixed, because the job no longer crashes in the creator. I've greatly shortened the track from what it used to be, laps now run about 1:20, and plan on turning the rest of the old track into a second version of this race. If anyone has any issues or suggestions, I'd be happy to hear. Fixing this race made me realize how badly the Sea Race Creator needs to be updated; no stunt props, no Advanced Placement options, and a 100 prop limit…

Well, as some of you might have noticed, I've started exploring water races. As I still don't know what works and what doesn't, I thought I would just throw them all together in one thread and see what everyone thinks. I am interested to see if this sytle of water races even works, does anyone find it interesting enough to do them more often, etc. I wanted to include some turns where you need to use X to turn, so its not just full speed all the time, though some turns can be done without using X, you just need to take a wider line. It would be interesting to see what is faster. Here's what I've created so far, all classes of water vehicles are covered, …

232Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
@LimeGreenLegend I remember watching some of Threads when at school, maybe a year or so after it was released, as part of an English project on nuclear weapons. I didn't live in Sheffield then, which I seem to recall making it seem more distant and as teenagers we kind of dismissed it with a "this can't happen to us" type of attitude. I do intend watching it at some point, I noticed it on iplayer, probably not this weekend.- 1

What I Watched This Week #171 (Apr 7-13) Captain America: Brave New World dir. Julius Onah/2025/1h59m The latest entry in the MCU sees Anthony Mackie take up the shield as Captain America for the first time (on the big screen at least, I've not seen the TV show, which made a lot of this quite confusing), getting caught up in an international incident that I honestly can't remember anything about. The entire time I was just waiting for Harrison Ford, playing newly elected president Thaddeus Ross, turn into a big red Hulk, which is all I knew of this going in. It's actually quite amazing that I can't remember any of the actual plot because most of the film is made up of people spouting exposition at each other in bland locations. The villain, played by Tim Blake Nelson, looks so stupid that I thought his reveal was a joke after being kept hidden in the shadows for a lot of the run time, but no, that's the look they actually went with. I don't care if it's accurate to the comic books, it looks f*cking stupid on film. Mackie and Ford both give decent performances, and and I liked Danny Ramirez as Cap's new sidekick Joaquin Torres, but this just feels like content churned out to meet a schedule drawn up by committee. 3/10 Mickey 17 dir. b*ng Joon Ho/2025/2h17m Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey Barnes, a man who, to get away from some dangerous people he owes money to, signs up as an expendable on a colonisation voyage to a distant planet. His job is to perform all of the most dangerous tasks and occasionally act as a lab rat, and each time he dies they just print out a new one, an act made illegal on Earth. This is director b*ng's follow up to his Oscar winning masterpiece Parasite, and while this film shares similar themes with its attack on the elite it comes at it with a very different tone. This leans heavily into comedy, with Pattinson giving an almost slapstick performance at times. His whiny, weedy accent also took me by surprise, but it really does fit the character. Mark Ruffalo as failed politician Kenneth Marshall, the leader of the colony, also gives a very broad comedic performance, similar to the one he gave in Poor Things, and he steals every scene he's in. I had a lot of fun watching this but it all feels kind of inconsequential and throwaway, like all of the clones of Mickey, and a little short of b*ng's best films like Parasite, Memories of Murder or Mother. But this is still an excellently crafted film with great supporting performances from Toni Collette, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, and British comedian Tim Key as a man dressed as a pigeon. 8/10 The Foreigner dir. Martin Campbell/2017/1h53m The Foreigner is an action thriller starring Jackie Chan as Quan Ngoc Minh, a London restaurant owner whose daughter is killed in an IRA bombing. He suspects that politician and former IRA member Liam Hennessey (Pierce Brosnan) knows something about it, and seeing that he's former Chinese special forces he'll stop at nothing to find out what. A conventional yet well made film from the director of two of the best Bond films: Goldeneye and Casino Royale, what really kept me hooked here was the totally serious performance from Chan, something I've never seen before. That extends to the fight scenes where there's none of his usual fun and games with random props. Here he just wants to hurt people. There's a haunted look in his eyes that he has for most of the film that feels so real and full of pain. Brosnan is also very good as a politician with a murky past, and he does a good job at keeping us guessing as to how much he actually knows. 7/10 Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw dir. David Leitch/2019/2h17m The Fast and Furious franchise takes a little detour with this spinoff film starring The Rock and Jason Statham as the titular Hobbs and Shaw who must team up to defeat Idris Elba's evil cyborg Brixton who is searching for a virus that could wipe out humanity. The virus is in the hands of Shaw's sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) because what would these films be without family? Just as mindlessly fun as the recent films in the series, what let this one down for me is the constant trash talk between The Rock and Statham. It's cute for a while but over two hours of this pissing contest is just tiresome. There's also an extended cameo from Kevin Hart who I can't stand. The action scenes are totally ridiculous - Elba's transformer like motorbike is a personal fav - but they're all fun and unique. The final act showdown set in Samoa is also a nice change of location. This does feel like a script where they changed the names of the two main characters to make it fit into the Fast and Furious universe just for the name recognition, but this film delivered exactly what I expected from it, which I guess is both a positive and a negative. 6.5/10 Threads dir. Mick Jackson/1984/1h57m Made for BBC TV on a tiny budget, Threads is a docu-drama set in the Northern English city of Sheffield during the lead up to and fallout of a nuclear war. With its use of actual BBC documentary narrator Paul Vaughn, stock footage and text on screen detailing the time line of events this could be mistaken as real. The drama part of the docu-drama comes from following young woman Ruth (Karen Meagher) who has just become pregnant with her boyfriend and is just about to start her life. In the background on news reports and newspapers tensions are rising between the US and Russia. This lead up to the bombs dropping is incredibly well executed, the tension slowly being cranked up as these reports come to the foreground slowly but surely. It begins to invade the normal everyday lives of the people of Sheffield. The second half of the film details the bombings and the breakdown of society in the aftermath and it is the most grim, brutal, depressing, hopeless, scary, and sadly realistic (judging by the extensive list of doctors and professors in the special thanks section of the credits) depiction of the apocalypse I've ever seen. I nearly stopped watching at a couple of points because it's all just too much. That says nothing of the ending, a horrific series of events set over a decade after the end of the world which snaps into a freezeframe just as a character is about to scream and then the end credits roll in total silence. This is one of the best films I've ever seen and I urge you all to watch it, it's on the BBC iPlayer if you're in the UK or have a VPN. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! The Devil in a Convent dir. Georges Méliès/1899/3m Another short from Georges Méliès sees him continue his fascination with demons and religion. Here he plays a tricksy devil who appears in a convent, disguises himself as a priest and torments the nuns there before being banished back to hell. As well as his continued perfection of his special effects techniques what really stands out in his films are the gorgeously detailed sets that look like they're taken straight off of the stage. His films are also becoming longer and more intricate, three minutes was considered long for a film at the time, and his 12 minute Trip to the Moon a few years later was initially mocked for being too long to keep people's attention. A wonderful slice of magic from the dawn of the artform. 8/10 Monsters University dir. Dan Scanlon/2013/1h44m This totally unnecessary prequel tells the story of how Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sully (John Goodman) met at college, starting out as adversaries before having to work together to help their fraternity win the annual scare games and keep their place in school. Mostly a collection of tropes, cliches and stereotypes from every college film since Animal House this still does have some good jokes scattered throughout and, as usual, the animation is excellent. Crystal can get grating at times but Goodman is always a pleasure to listen to, and there's a good supporting turn from Helen Mirren as the dean of the college. In my opinion Monsters Inc is one of Pixar's best films with a perfect ending, so I'm glad they didn't try to do a sequel (and I hope they don't in the future), but that stuck them with doing a prequel, and the characters aren't really that different at the start of the film than at the end, so there's not even any growth or development. It's just more time to spend with them, which isn't a bad thing, but it's time spent doing nothing. 5.5/10- 2

Team America: World Police (2004) dir Trey Parker A film from the makers of South Park, so you should know what to expect; totally irreverent, doesn't care who it offends, anything and anyone can and will be made fun of, with some great comedy songs and few Star Wars references thrown in. It's made with puppets in in the style of Thunderbirds and the other Gerry Anderson shows from the 60s/70s/80s. The title refers to an international crime fighting force with a very gung-ho attitude. So long as they get the bad guys, it doesn't matter who or what else gets hurt or destroyed in the process, even if they end up leaving an even bigger trail of destruction than the one they were trying to prevent. They recruit a new member, a Broadway actor, because they need someone to “act like a terrorist”. They are up against a wave of attacks, organised, behind the scenes, by North Korea's then dictator Kim Jong Il (the father of the current one). He is hosting a “peace conference” for all world leaders to hide his true intents. He has enlisted the assistance of F.A.G. (the Film Actors Guild), a group of Hollywood actors lead by Alec Baldwin and including Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Samuel L Jackson, Helen Hunt and many more, who hate Team America. Just to be clear for anyone who has no idea what this film is; none of those people are in the film, it's puppet versions of them. A puppet Michael More also makes an appearance protesting against Team America. And all the voices are done by the same sort of people who voice South Park It doesn't take sides. I don't think it's trying to make any political points. I'm not really sure you can even call it satire because, just like South Park, Parker and Stone are simply having a laugh in their own way and doing what they think is funny for no other reason than comedy. Some good aspects to point out. They chose to make this with puppets and I'm sure with modern technology they could have made them a lot more realistic than Thunderbirds, especially when it comes to how they walk. But other than the mouths moving better in sync with the dialogue, they don't look that different, and you can clearly see the strings. The puppets are obviously small, so the film is mainly made on model sets. But they have a couple of scenes using real-world backgrounds, so the puppets look really tiny – for comic effect. There's one hilarious scene in which a couple of characters are attacked by what are supposed to be black panthers, but they use domestic cats instead. Then what I think is the best scene, the s*x scene. This would have been extremely graphic if it used human actors. It would have been fairly graphic if the puppets had g*nitals. But they don't. So it's just two puppets, minus their clothes, playing out various s*x positions. I have not seen this in full since I saw it at the cinema back when it first came out. It was not as funny as I remembered, but still a very novel idea. 7/10- 1

What I Watched This Week #170 (Mar 31 - Apr 6) The Fate of the Furious dir. F. Gary Gray/2017/2h16m The eighth film in the franchise sees Dominic (Vin Diesel) do the worst thing imaginable, betray his family. But he's only doing it because he's being coerced by cyberterrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron), with his gang, led by The Rock (The Rock) and newly turned good guy Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), having to hunt him down and stop him. This is a big, dumb, fun Bond film that ended up in the wrong franchise but somehow works and is my favourite so far. I think this is also the best directed film in the series, Gray's first in the franchise, with some excellent action set pieces and fight scenes that defy all logic. I also think it's impressive that a film this deep into its run can attract such a good cast. Theron is really good as the villain, and I also loved Kurt Russell as mysterious government agent Mr. Nobody and, in a really fun cameo, Helen Mirren as Shaw's aggressively Cockney mother Queenie. I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. 7/10 Two short films by Georges Méliès: A Nightmare 1896/1m The Infernal Cauldron 1903/2m These two shorts are from the father of movie magic, Georges Méliès, a French stage magician who, while tinkering with a newly bought film camera, invented special effects by accident and was one of the first filmmakers who was able to show what this new medium was really capable of. The first film sees him playing a sleeping man who is tormented by various things he's scared of, including a giant moon with a menacing face - a recurring image in his films, most iconically in A Trip to the Moon - clowns and, unfortunately, Black people. The second film has him in the role of a green demon - a lot of his films were painted by hand frame by frame so they had colour before colour film was a thing - consigning some people to hell by throwing them into a giant cauldron. The sheer inventiveness and creativity in his films makes them still a joy to watch today - racism aside - and these shorter ones are just a taste of what he's able to do in his masterful longer films like The Kingdom of the Fairies and The Impossible Voyage. Respectively I'll give these a 6/10 and 8/10 Brave dir. Brenda Chapman, Mark Andrews/2012/1h33m Pixar takes us to the magical ancient Scottish Highlands where Merida (Kelly Macdonald) is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Elinor wants to prepare Merida for marriage, whereas Merida wants to be free to make her own decisions. Thanks to a visit to a local witch (Julie Walters), Merida gets a cursed wish and inadvertently turns her mother into a bear. I'm a big fan of the setting of this film, it feels unlike anything Pixar has done before, and some of the landscape shots are gorgeous, but the story really drags, with a lot of obvious filler thrown in to pad the runtime. I also didn't really like the main character even though I could sympathise with her not wanting to just do what she's supposed to do. What this film has in its favour is the legendary Billy Connolly who I love in anything he does, and he's great here. I just wish Disney had the b*lls to release the profanity riddled outtakes that I'm sure exists in their vault somewhere. I also appreciate that this is an original film in an era of Pixar sequels (this came between Cars 2 and Monsters University), but that's not enough to get it more than a 6.5/10 65 dir. Scott Beck, Bryan Woods/2023/1h32m Set 65 million years ago this is a sci-fi thriller that stars Adam Driver as a deep space explorer of an alien race who crash lands on prehistoric Earth where he and a young girl, Koa (Ariana Greenblatt), are the only survivors. The two don't speak the same language, making it harder for them to work together to not get eaten by dinosaurs and make it to an escape pod before the giant extinction level asteroid hits the planet (spoilers: they don't have long). This is from the same directors of the recent Hugh Grant religious thriller Heretic, which I enjoyed quite a bit, but this is just bland bland bland. The premise is cool but they've managed to execute it in the most vanilla way possible. The two performances are good, with Driver really putting a lot of effort into basically nothing, but all of his dialogue was so hard to concentrate on because it was so dull. I also thought the dinosaurs just looked weird and never really felt like a threat. There was more tension from the ticking clock of the asteroid than from anything earthbound. 4/10 Law Abiding Citizen dir. F. Gary Gray/2009/1h49m My second F. Gary Gray film of the week, this one stars Gerard Butler as Clyde who, after his family are killed during a break in, decides to take revenge on not only the murderers but also the lawyer who got them a plea bargain that set them free, Nick (Jamie Foxx). I don't know what it is but there's something about this film that makes it feel like it should have come out in the mid 90's starring Nicolas Cage. It wants to be both a serious legal thriller and an overblown action film but it never really commits to either. The various traps and gadgets that Clyde creates to take his revenge are well executed but it becomes ridiculous in the third act, culminating in what was to me a pretty bad ending. Still, I enjoyed the scenes between Butler and Foxx, and I always like seeing Colm Meaney pop up in stuff, here with a sizeable supporting role as a detective trying to stop Clyde's murderous plans. 6/10 Come Drink with Me dir. King Hu/1966/1h31m This influential martial arts film stars Cheng Pei-Pei as daughter of the local governor who has a secret alias as Golden Swallow, a sword for hire. Her latest job is very personal as she has to rescue her brother who has been kidnapped by a gang led by Jade Faced Tiger (Chen Hung-Lieh). Helping her on her quest is Drunken Cat (Elliot Ngok Wah), who has a secret of his own. This is both graceful - Pei-Pei was a trained ballet dancer, not martial artist - and brutally bloody, and incredibly gorgeous to look at with some beautiful production and costume/make-up design. Pei-Pei is great in the lead, being both demure and deadly at the same time, with Ngok Wah having a lot of fun as her playfully drunk sidekick. I did find the plot to be a bit too convoluted for what it is, mostly with the plot about Drunken Cat's past, but it's worth it for the climactic mountainside showdown. 8/10 Lime's Films of the Week! Two short films by Phoebe Jane Hart: JamieSonShine 2020/5m Bug Diner 2024/7m I'm finishing off the week with two very different shorts from Phoebe Jane Hart. The first is a very personal experimental documentary about her older brother and how his schizophrenia has affected their relationship. A mixture of live action stop motion and animation, this feels like we're getting a small glimpse into their world, and it's able to convey so much love and empathy without every seeming trite or sentimental. The second film is a stop motion film set in a diner staffed and visited by a selection of different anthropomorphic animals and insects who all have very human problems with their relationships. There's a pair of grasshoppers having marital issues but the husband becomes aroused at the thought of his wife with another man, an anteater with the hots for a squirrel, and the fly waitress can't stop fantasising about the mole chef's hot *ss. Weird, crude but strangely very relatable. These are Hart's only two films so far, but I can't wait to see what she does next. I'll give these a combined 8/10- 2
