Slice of Life: The park I work at was packed with over 80,000 people to watch fireworks tonight. It was insanity. The fireworks were rad as hell though (they shot them off from all around the park for a 360 view)

Slice of the 4th: NYC's fireworks moved to the East River this year, so Jersey City (my town) did their own show from New York Bay / Liberty State Park. I didn't feel like watching the fireworks with 150,000 people in a park with a single-lane exit road, so my wife and I went down to the Bayonne shipping piers and watched both shows at once, in the shadow of the Giant 9/11 Vagina. It was a real good time, and we got deep-fried hot dogs after. God bless America.

CloseFriend posted:Now I can see why you guys get so bummed when your favorite bands have personnel changes. I just found out about Jade Castrinos getting voted out of Edward Sharpe last month and I am now sad as hell. My favorite band called it quits with a press release that was like "Hey if we keep making music we're probably going to go downhill. Band over", which is a pretty weird thing to do, but I guess it's good that they recognized it?

It's hard to do this and walk for miles. Holy poo poo, people. Really don't sunburn your feet. Especially before leaving on an overnight camping trip the next day.

Geekboy posted:Dating Protip: When going for a literal long walk on the beach with a pretty lady, don't forget to put sunscreen on your feet. I read an entire terry pratchett on the beach once in a single sitting and forgot to do this. I had to go to the hospital, I couldn't fit my feet into my shoes. To this day, one foot is (probably unnoticeably to everyone but me) bigger than the other. SoL: I'm considering putting together a showreel of stuff I've made, but all of my stuff is ridiculous poo poo that's only worthwhile in the context of the internet. Eventually I'm gonna have to accept the fact my sense of humor makes me unemployable. ...Does anyone who works in video need an intern?  I technically already work one, but I think the company might be about to combust. The one person working there who actually took a wage just quit.

Snowpiercer was ehhh but when I got home I started reading The Terror by Dan Simmons, which is also about a bunch of people trapped on a ship that they'll freeze to death if they leave, and it's really good.

Hewlett posted:This is a correct statement, though in my instance it's been "spend the 4th cooking a shitton of awesome food and watching the fireworks from a giant bomb-rear end patio...in Chicago still." Patios are so ground level, it's all about top floor corner apartments where, if you stand in the very corner room, you can never not be seeing a firework go off in the Chicagoland area. My new apartment is kinda cool.

So I somehow threw my back out on my birthday, which lead to me drinking too much English beer and watching Apollo 13 with my wife, which I used mostly as an excuse to ramble on about how much we need to go back to the moon. Hope you all had a good 4th, people in the past.

morestuff posted:If you can spend the 4th on a Chicago rooftop, I'd recommend it. It was my first 4th of July in Chicago and I was at a rooftop party last night and it owned hard. Also, I think the party I was at won the neighborhood firework war, because goddamn. Lastly, going to bed at about 3am to wake up at 6am for work is always a horrible experience, but totally worth it.

It's great at first but it just keeps going, and it's more of the same. Which is sort of thematically appropriate for a story about guys stuck in Arctic ice for years, but it gets awfully dull.

The Dark Horse Conan comic from 2004 is incredible. It's straight adaptations of the stories with great art. The first issue basically opens with Conan murdering the poo poo out of a rapist. Three pages later he cuts three guys in half at once. This is before you get to the four issue adaptation of Rogues in the House, wherein Conan fights a gorilla in a cape that thinks it's a man in a house full of death traps with his bare hands.

I can't fully hate The Mist because of the few great moments of imagery and because I love the excellent and very cinematic use of fades and zooms; especially effective in the black and white version. But man, that ending is like a perfect storm of poo poo. I kinda love it. And think it's utter trash. Rewatched Rec 2 and it seems like one of few movies whose usage of 'glitchy imagery' isn't intrusive and hokey but instead extremely unrealistic but integrated in such a way to serve more purpose than merely hiding cuts. It gives certain scenes an amazingly dreamy vibe, it's great. I told my friend who's not very cinema savvy to watch Alien, because it is one of the greatest movies ever made. Thanks to the lack of the number 4 after the name, she watched Alien: Resurrection instead. I am so, so sorry.

Does anyone know what the score for The Purge 2 is like? It looks awesome but I can't imagine anything but an ultra-80s John Carpenter esque synth score fitting it, and the lack of that in the trailer is mildly worrying.

Honestly, those gus have always struck me as pieces of poo poo and their continued popularity amazes me. They're friends with some funny people but that's really about it. I always think back to the time they got fired from the local Boston station and just how unfunny and lovely the thing that got them fired was. axelblaze fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jul 5, 2014 |

Gnaw: Food of the Gods II has everything. People in giant rat costumes attacking a high school synchronized swimming event, horribly executed depth perception camera trickery, someone accidentally getting in the corner of multiple shots, a very bizarre sex dream sequence, an exterminator character with a giant flamethrower who has clearly been influenced by the Man with No Name, and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtChPB6NjJY That's why I am deeming it YTOTD: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr3aCdUugiU> e: full movie link no longer embedded, because boob.
