Watching comic book NEEEERDS and "Cosplay Enthusists" argue over how someone looks in a comic book movie is so, so, so utterly hilarious. IMPOTENT RAAAAAAAAGE!!!! I have distain for both at the best of times but the amazing slapfight breaking out over Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad(? No real idea on that one, dont give a poo poo otherwise) is just sooooo glorious at how mortally offended they are getting. You would think somoene shot their mother and raped their dog for all of the rage and hate flying about!

InitialDave posted:This pretty much what a lot of them are like. It's hilarious when you consider how many iterations of any given character there are over all the years they've existed and how what's "canon" basically gets thrown in a sack and beaten to a mush against a wall on a regular basis. Plus the fact comic book movies are NOT made for comic book nerds. Buckley explains it best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqTYg6v_6v4

Ferremit posted:Hey Cat Terrist, whatcha doing in Radelaide and how long ya here for? I had to stop and ask who the hell did I tell I was in Adelaide then rememebered there's a couple of pictures I've been tagged in  - Nice canoes ASC are building Just down for the weekend, went to an 80th birthday today and caught up with the adopted brother. I'm at Semaphore, going up into the Hills tomorrow to some chocolate factory / winery. If you want to do a flying hello, let me know on da Facebooks. The last year has gone by really oddly (46 tomorrow!) - it feels like only yesterday it started but also has gone by very slowly - I've packed in a hell of a lot on the last 365 days and so much has happened. Honestly, if the rest of my life goes the same way I'll be very happy. It kinda seems like I've finally started to get myself going in the right direction after some years of poo poo just not working out. I know there's a bunch of atheists here but I'm a God Botherer and I've been having a lot of faith based issues and also been going through a lot of depression at how hosed up life seems to get - I feel like I've started to get it worked out what exactly I want to stand for. None of this FYGM Religious Right racist / sexist / homophobic crap and much more for actually poo poo like giving a gently caress about the poor and haivng an extreme dislike for hypocracy - studying the Bible and then making GBS threads on the less well off is exactly the kind of thing the Church does too loving much and it stinks. I completely understand why Christians are seen as scum when you look at the assholes who gently caress over dem poors / blacks / LGBT and utterly ignore what the guy we say we should follow actually did. Oh and dont get me started on the Megachurch crap, that's pure moneychangers in the Temple crap and Jesus got REALLY pissed at that. Sure, you could say it gets me to sleep at night. It's a crutch or whatever. Eh, maybe it is and it's a load of shite but I hope faith inspires me to be less of a RL dick and actually DO something good. And if say there is nothing out there, I'd rather go to the grave knowing I've made a real effort to not be a dick and a hypocrite.... and maybe, just maybe made the place a bit better. But I do think there's something out there and I'd rather say fce to face to that I was real about my faith and not been a dick to others ESPECIALLY if they dont share my views of faith - but believe me I wont tolerate racism / discrimination / homophobia etc. We're all fuckign humans and dammit, you should only be shouted down and shunned if you are a loving idiot. Sorry about the diversion there - I honestly didnt think I was going to write that. Eh, whatever, have a good day (But seriously, gently caress the Religious Right, loving homophones and hypocritcal assholes. They wouldnt know the real Jesus if He came back and called them Pharasees to their face)

Been driving a 2015 Toyota Yaris all weekend. Really surprised - gutless turd of a car but honestly a bright chirply little thing that is strangely a hoot to drive. I never expected a Toyota to be such a cheery and happy car for all it's otherwise many faults - just goes to prove a car with character is what makes for a car you want to drive. Also makes you appreciate the brute force of 6 litres of V8. Poor little thing was having probblems climbing Adelaide Hills, the Commodore just powers over anything. Still.... cant say I would poo poo on a Yaris anyore, I'm just so surprised Toyota makes something that's not an appliance.

Also got a look at a Tesla Model S85 on the weekend. I knew they were supposed to be good cars, had no idea they were THAT well screwed together. Apart from the hilariously huge centre console screen, if Tesla is the future, bring it the gently caress on. I also have no real doubts they'll pull off their proposed numbers, they really have done some pretty bloody amazing things with the Model S and also all the recharging infrastructure. Hell, I was pretty amazed the Tesla owner drove from Melbourne to Adelaide, that's so far beyond what I thought any EV would be capable of. At the very least, Tesla are making people see an EV actually CAN be done and it doesnt need to be boring.

The real thing to notice is that Tesla are designing in the ability not to be cemented to one battery tech - if technology changes, everything Tesla does can also be changed almost at a moment's notice. They really are thinking everything through properly from end to end. Elon Musk doesn't just want to change the world - he's actually doing it and others will follow.

Today is one of the days when a) you get reminded life can utterly suck but then it gets better and b) There are some complete assholes alive but the really good men / women who leave us more than make up for it. as in their own way, they made the world a better place and we are poorer for their passing. 10 years today seperated. Yep, poo poo does get better and life does take some highly unexpected left turns

The reviews for Mad Max are unbelievable. I was not expecting such a critical love-in and the real people that have seen it also think it's fantastically demented and brilliant - and the car chases make F&F look like it's kiddies playing in the dirt. All I wanted was to see and hear The Interceptor one more time, looks like were getting so much more than just that. It looks like we really are getting AI : The Movie.

You Am I posted:I heard a review this morning by a reviewer who usually loves art house stuff, and he was gushing over this movie in a really big way. The reviewer even mentioned that he's not a car person, but each time a car was started up or revved in that movie it felt amazing. And that's what's truly surprising - the hoity toity are pretty much in lockstep with the fans of smash em bash ems in how good Fury Road is. People are seriously losing their poo poo for this movie big time. quote:It's even pissed off MRAs: http://www.dailydot.com/geek/review...mad-max-sexism/ The stupidity of MRA's always has new ways to surprise.

kastein posted:That lines up pretty well with my analogy, I bought my Forester for $300 or so with no engine and tried to register it. The paper pushing bureaucrat at the RMV insisted that since there was no sale price box on the title (NY titles don't have one, unlike most) I absolutely had to get a bill of sale from the seller. Who was 200 miles and a previous owner away, because a friend bought it and never got around to registering it before determining it was a basket case. I tired to register a car once, the RTA refused... because they thought it was a stolen trailer.

The specific politician in "power" doesn't matter one whit, it's only coloration of presentation. All of the decisions, all of the rules, all of the powers are held by a few dozen people that have bought our entire system. There is no "American Dream" anymore, because the cards are stacked against all of us. That's just so depressingly true. And honestly sounds like the Illuminarti (sp). We are soooo hosed.

DICKPOCALYPSE NOW posted:I didn't believe the hype for Mad Max could possibly be right and I wept openly at multiple moments. This isn't an exageration. My friend thought something was wrong and the only Thing Wrong is that that is not the reality we live in. All I wanted was to see the Interceptor again. That car was such a huge thing in my younger years and stamped itself as THE car many, many years ago. Any car with a dirty big supercharger insnatly reminds me of it. So yes, I was grinning and laughing like an idiot when it kicked to life. And that was going to be enough. BUT WHAT THE gently caress WAS THE REST OF THIS LUNACY?!?!?! Holy poo poo, the hype isnt doing this movie justice, it is by far the most utterly loving AI movie of them all, we have hit peak AI and it all chrome, V8's and Valhalla. There isnt any agrument what is the greatest car movie of them all now, Fury Road is simply IT. The DOOFWAGON. THE DOOFWAGON. I draggged my SO to the theatre, she didnt want to see it but she utterly loved it and she's right now pretending to shred and wants to stick a dirty big supercharger on the Commodore and scream WAHT A DAY, WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!! while blasting down the highway. SEE THIS loving MOVIE. NOW.

CommieGIR posted:That is not the problem, MOST of the 'Gluten Free' stuff is pushed by the same people that think they can cure cancer with cannabis oil and viral diseases with special teas. My father is a genuine gluten sensitive. The funny thing is that when he had to drop gluten, the options were just terrible (About 15 years ago) - the current fad of gluten free has been terrific for him. So, so SO many more things he can eat now AND it tastes a hell of a lot better. He's all for idiots going on about gluten free option - when there was only the genuine gluten intolerants about, no one catered for it. Oh and having a birthday cake no longer means one horrid cardboard one for him and a delicious one for us, Gluten free products taste a hell of a lot better now. So yeah in the main fads like gluten free are nonsense. But for those that actually ARE having problems, being able to have gluten free pizza that is edible rocks. Kinda something I'm learning about as I get older and less able to shovel in the crap I used to - the fads are dumb but fads also mean you can get good food easier in that the idiots willing to spend money on the fad means someone will cater to it.

All of a sudden, the evening seems so long and I can remember it. At any rate, at least I can put down *some* good numbers... Wanna have another Strava follower? I hand out kudos like candy. Also - $15 bucks a pack for cigarettes? That's expensive? Here they worked out that to cut the rates of smoking, taxing the poo poo out of them works incredibly well. 30 bucks. As a result, I believe Australia has one of the lowest rates of smoking in the world.
