Old Thread

New mod, new thread. Same as the old thread.

Welcome to the CineD general chat thread! Talk about whatefver the hell you want here. There are a few rules, which I'm going to shamelessly steal from Vargo:

Vargo posted:

Rules:
1)If a movie has a thread already, talk about it in that thread, not in here.
2)This thread is not a clubhouse to come in and talk about how bad other posters and threads are.
3)Settle down, Dickeye.
The second rule can be broken sometimes though if it's really egregious.

Here's a list of a bunch of us on Twitter!.

Oh hey new thread. Let me start this with a whiney slice of life: I really want this new job to start and I'm getting kind of impatient with it. A guy called me on Sunday and I missed his call. I called him back that evening but his phone was off and I couldn't get through until Monday afternoon. He said he'd be busy but he'd call me so i could get started and I still have heard nothing. I am really god damned low on money right now and if the cable bill decides to charge anytime soon, that poo poo will bounce. Make matters even more annoying to counteract this I sold a game on Ebay and it actually went for a higher price than I thought but the buyer has yet to pay me or contact me in any way. God drat this Capitalist system in which we live in.

Just a reminder that you all should all see The Forbidden Room when you get a chance if you like skeletons in movies. It has a pretty great skeleton segment.

Slice of life: I got passed over for a promotion at work and they hired an outside guy instead. But since he's new to the company I'm supposed to show him how we do everything. It...it's very frustrating.

The thing that confuses me about the eBay thing is I thought if someone did "buy it now" they had to pay immediately, so I'm not really sure how I haven't been paid yet. I mean they might have changed that over the years and I never noticed but why would they do that beyond eBay being awful?

In Diablo 3 there's like a 75% chance of a skeleton being inside any barrel you break open. They're just sitting in there, for years, waiting for some dummy to open up their barrel and get spooked.

Today I learned there's a new Cinderella movie coming out.

Unrelated: As Above So Below was pretty good. I liked it. It was spooky. I also liked that Ginsberg from Mad Men was in it. Mad Men rules and Ginsberg also rules.
