That is thinking about moving to a new city with kids who does not want to move (4,7,9,11 yrs). Moving would only be based on that the parents think the grass is greener, and it probably is to some extent. The only reason not to make the move would be the uncertainty of how the kids would handle it. Contra: Pull the kids up from something secure and placing them in something uncertain. Further away from family (that does help with the kids today) Pro: Close to the ocean Less garden and house to take care of More time to just hang out (realistic or just imaginary?) Other Just assuming that the work situation will work out, as it probably would. Yes…

A curb came out of no where and I hit it. Please tell Mr. Jag not to be mad at me. My beautiful wheels of 15 years are now damaged because I cannot drive. We had a good run, wheels. Please, someone make curb sensors. That is all. Drowning my sorrows in a pumpkin spice latte and hoping I didn't mess up a tire. Because I don't know if anything is bent. Again, will you guys PLEASE tell Mr. Jag NOT to be mad at me. And for Mailbox, thanks Obama!

Rose was in our '02 GMC Yukon and hit the brake pedal only to have the brake line blow. Lucky for her she was still in the driveway. She was on her way into town but forgot something and went to stop halfway down the drive. Scared the shit out of her though. I on the other hand after looking to see what/where the problem is discovered all the brakelines are rusted pretty good so I get to replace them all. On top of that, my morning was spent figuring out a septic issue at the shop which required digging a ditch in some questionable smelling "mud".

So now I feel like I've either confused everyone or made more sense to the people who are getting to know me. Do a lot of people have different names on here than their PSN ID other than G? Most seem to have just a shortened version of their ID. I'm thinking I may have set a record for name change after joining.

No number, no package, very simple people. If you don't have a number don't expect the ups guy to know where you live to deliver your crap. People have houses worth 200k and cant spend $10.00 on numbers. God forbid your having a heart attack and someone calls 911. Are they suppose to ask your neighbor's if anyone is currently dying at your residence? Just a rant people... For those crew members that dont have numbers. Buy them and put them up!

I'm all up for donating to a cause and I donate 1000.00 every year to a charity or a good cause like the local library and little league. I would donate to fight MLS in a heartbeat! Im pretty sure I have done so already in the past and just dont remember. But wtf, this ice water challenge thing is just way out of hand by now. Victoria Beckham, Will Smith, Bill Gates, send water to Africa or send it to California so kids can play with their slip n slide during the drought! Total waste of water!

Game Swap
by JustHatched- 6 replies
- 957 views
I was thinking random shit about the PS4 and was wondering what to do with my PS3 games when the time comes. Figured most would go to the kids but even they do not play all theirs, so I figured trade in at Game Stop but they give chump change for games. It hit me that those interested could post up a list of games they would be willing to part with and perhaps we could swap games among the crew. Tricky part is getting them there as real names and addresses would be needed as well as shipping fees. I would be willing to pay to ship a game if someone was sending one to me as well, basically each sender pays the fee. If anyting it is a good idea, in practice maybe not.…

This Thursday I'm actually going away for a few days during one of my vacations. I was going to tell you all that you wont see me in the game. Then I realized I haven't been on much to begin with. My son getting his ps4 and selling his ps3, the other system is already heavily used by my two youngest boys. The only time I get to play is late at night, and unless I take an extra centrum silver. I usually ready to pass out at 10pm. (As Hatch said the last time I played late at night) "It's past tsarney's bed time" My kids use my account all day, and I have the messages turned off. So if it looks like I'm playing lego super heros and not returning your messag…

Talk about a find!
by JusTokenII- 5 replies

So I helped someone move out recently, and they gave me a little organizer that was used for small electronics. It still had hundreds of potentiometers and resistors in it. It also had a curious looking 64 pin integrated circuit with a large heatsink attached to it. I didn't think anything of it and put the organizer with the rest of my electronics goodies. Well today my curiosity got the best of me, so I went out and grabbed the IC with the heatsink on it and removed the heatsink to find a part number and manufacturer on the chip. TRW TDC1010J. 64 gold plated pins in a ceramic package. Did some research on it, turns out to be one of the chips used in original Doppler…

109Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Novecento / 1900 (1976) dir Bernardo Bertolucci An epic story of two friends in early 20th century Italy. It's very long; 5 hours and 17 mins! I had to do a double take when I saw that, but it really is that long. So I watched over 3 sessions. Alfredo (Robert di Niro) and Olmo (Gerard Depardieu) are born within minutes of each other around 1900 in rural Italy. They grow up as friends and remain so for the rest of their lives, but they come from completely different sections of society. Alfredo is from the family of a wealthy land owner and Olmo the son of one the estate's farm labourers. The first hour of the film is from their childhood, and features Burt Lancaster as Alfredo's grandfather. Then it skips to the end of the First World War and Olmo returning home after military service. The rest of the film, with a few other, shorter, jumps, takes the story up to the end of the Second World War. Donald Sutherland comes into the film playing the estate's foreman, Attila. The rest of cast are, I think, mainly Italian. But those three actors, plus Dominique Sanda. playing Alfredo's love interest Ada, are the leads and main support. Sutherland gives the best performance. He is the film's villain, and truly evil. He becomes the leader of the local fascists as Mussolini takes control of Italy, and, as if that was not enough, also a murderer and child abuser. There is a very clear class distinction. Alfredo's family and friends all accept the fascist takeover, some enthusiastically, others, like Alfredo more just going along with things beyond their control. Olmo and most of the other farmer labourers just want a fair wage, so they can feed their families, and many join the communists. Being as long as it is, there are obviously many different stories within the whole plot. But the class struggle, with Alfredo and Olmo just about remaining friends, is the main one. It's in English. Many of the Italian cast's lines are clearly dubbed. Depardieu's are too, despite him clearly speaking English. You can tell the voice is not his, but it is in sync with his lip movements. I don't like this, but it does not spoil the film. It is of it's time. The makeup used to depict the character's ageing is not that good, when you compare to modern day films, and some characters seem to hardly age at all. The score is by Ennio Moricone. I had heard the main theme before, and think it is one of his best, but there is not much else to the original music in the film, just a lot of that theme or variations on it. Although it is so long, I never got bored. It is obviously slow paced, very slow at times. But there are some great scenes. One comes early on with soldiers on horseback sent to break a strike, and the striker's wives all lying down in the road to block the way. Another towards the end, after the Facist regime has been toppled and their N*zi allies defeated, sees the workers dig up a sack containing a massive red flag made out of many smaller flags they each owned, all stitched together. They have had to hide this for many years, but now they parade it around the fields where they have worked all their lives. 7 / 10- 1

What I Watched This Week #121 (April 22-28) The Housemaid dir. Im Sang-soo/2010/1h47m A remake of a 1960 film of the same name, The Housemaid stars Jeon Do-yeon as Eun-yi, a young woman hired by a wealthy couple to look after their child. Once in the house the husband Hoon (Lee Jung-jae) uses his position of authority to seduce and impregnate her. A psychosexual social commentary on inequality this is a beautifully shot film with a great lead performance by Do-yeon. The plot of this film does stray pretty far from that of the original. Here Eun-yi is the victim whereas in the original she is the one who manipulates and controls the family she works for, which I think makes for a more interesting story, very much like a prototypical Parasite. I do like some of the changes and appreciate the fact that they wanted to do something different, but this in no way matches the deranged insanity that the original spirals into. That said, this is still a finely crafted thriller with some well placed shocks. 7/10 Cries and Whispers dir. Ingmar Bergman/1972/1h35m A period drama from Ingmar Bergman, Cries and Whispers stars Liv Ullmann, Ingrid Thulin and Harriet Andersson as Maria, Karin and Agnes, three sisters, the latter of which is dying of cancer. Rather than coming together to comfort her, their reunion only brings up painful memories with only the maid, Anna (Kari Sylwan), offering any care to the dying woman. A film about how grief can not only bring people together but also force them apart, this to me makes up an unofficial trilogy alongside Persona and Autumn Sonata – Bergman films starring Liv Ullmann about women confined together in a single location getting heavy with the emotions. Bergman's theatre background shines through in his framing and composition, especially the positions of characters in his frame. His use of the colour red here would make Pedro Almodóvar jealous. An emotionally exhausting watch, this isn't quite as good as the other two films mentioned earlier, but when they are both masterpieces you can't be too upset. 8.5/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Jill, Uncredited dir. Anthony Ing/2022/18m You won't recognise her name or her face, but you will have seen Jill Goldston before as she has appeared as an extra in nearly 2000 film and TV productions between 1960 and 2009 from the Carry On series and Mr. Bean to Aliens and The Elephant Man. This short film takes clips where she is briefly seen and slows them down, zooming in on the more and more recognisable face as she brushes past Malcolm McDowall on the street or assists Anthony Hopkins with surgery. There's something of an ominous tone to this film as it at times feels like we're stalking this woman, piecing together her life from brief glimpses, never coming close to a full portrait. A mesmerising tribute to all of the people who make films feel alive, this has also made Jill's face as recognisable to me as any of the A-listers who were lucky enough to work alongside her. 7/10 Chicken Little dir. Mark Dindal/2005/1h21m Zach Braff stars as the titular character who becomes the joke of his town and brings shame on his father when he claims that the sky is falling. But what if there really is something else up there? This is f*cking awful. It's Disney's first fully CGI film – Dinosaur had live action backgrounds – and it's one of the ugliest films I've ever seen. All of the characters look like they should be in constant pain and there is nothing natural about their movements. The script is bland and unfunny and none of the lead performances stood out. Braff is a terrible lead with no charm whatsoever. The only bit I liked here was the film-within-a-film that had Adam West as a beefy Chicken Little. 1/10 Clowns dir. Marco Bellocchio/2016/18m (no trailer or any video at all about this film exists, so you'll just have to take my word for it that it does) Clowns is a short film about a rehearsal of the opera I Pagliacci and a dinner party at the rich backer's home afterwards where a hypnosis session brings up all sorts of family drama. There are some interesting ideas here and it does feel like it's building towards something, but ultimately it all just feels a bit underdeveloped and goes nowhere. Lucia Ragni gives the best performance as the cold and heartless matriarch of the family, and I loved the scene of Corrado Invernizzi singing the clown's part from the opera. Other than that this is sadly pretty forgettable. 5/10 The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry dir. Faris Alrjoob/2023/21m Ida (Clara Schwinning) travels from Germany to a small town on the Red Sea in Jordan to investigate the disappearance of her husband Ismail (Ahmed Shihab-Eldin), who is presumed dead. A rumination on grief and the absence of a loved one shot on grainy 16mm film this is a haunting experience with a powerful lead performance from Schwinning. In a way this feels like a story about the living haunting the dead, following them just one step behind, wanting to inhabit the same spaces they used to. I would love to see a feature length version of this story. 8/10 The Lords of Flatbush dir. Martin Davidson, Stephen Verona/1974/1h26m The Lords of Flatbush stars Sylvester Stallone in his first lead role not in a softcore p*rn film as a member of a gang of teenagers hanging around Brooklyn in the late fifties, with Henry Winkler also in the gang. There's not much of a plot here, the biggest throughline was Stallone's character getting his girlfriend pregnant and being pressured into marrying her – the scene in the jewellery store where he gets pissed about the price of rings is the best scene in the film. This is like an east coast, working class American Graffiti. It's all about those last dying days of childhood before the responsibilities of the world smack you in the face and tells you to get a job. Apart from the novelty of seeing a pre-Rocky Stallone and a pre-Fonz Winkler there's not really anything to recommend this. Not that there's anything awful here, it's just all pretty generic. 5/10- 3
