X-Ray Pecs posted:Season 4 of the Wire is real good, but I think I like season 2's laser focus on narrowing down both sides of a single crime thing, and how the criminal and legal elements build towards each other. I just finished episode 2 of season 5 and WHAT THE gently caress IS GOING ON WITH JIMMY, IS HE REALLY STAGING A HOMICIDE SCENE HOLY poo poo. I'm kinda disappointed there are only 8 episodes left, I'm really loving it. People kinda poo poo on – well, okay, that's a bit strong, maybe roll their eyes and make the jerkoff motion at – season 5 for reasons, but I found it as entertaining and a fitting end.

One of my first epiphanies about being a white dude came when about three or four chapters into reading To Kill a Mockingbird in high school I realized Scout was a girl. If I recall correctly that's the first point at which any language specifically indicates this, and up til that point I'd just assumed otherwise. First time I really stopped to consider what it meant to assume white/male as the default, and whether people who weren't might hold the same assumptions or not. Also IIRC Coffee is Bi or pan.

X-Ray Pecs posted:I thought season 2 was often considered as the best/second best season. People hate that season? I loved it because it was the most focused, it just tackled two sides of one crime, and the efforts to get one over on the other guys. He had a hand in it and it's what got him into television but his biggest contribution was writing the book it was based off of. A lot of little bits in The Wire also came from Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. I read it shortly after finishing The Wire a couple years ago, which was fun.

Mecha Gojira posted:Rest in peace, my old 55" TV. Been through a lot together over the last few years; even moved up to Washington with me. We spent a lot of time with some really great movies. You will be deeply missed. I had an old 14" CRT since childhood in decent working shape aside from a few minor points that finally died last year when it took a tumble off of a moving TV cart. It maybe could have been fixed but that wouldn't have been worth it, and I don't even know a place that would repair tube TVs anymore. Probably have to find some guy.

Anonymous Robot posted:So there's apparently a giant arcade stocked with tons of imported cabinets in the middle of nowhere, attached to a dead mall in Taunton, MA. I went there expecting a Dave and Buster's kind of deal and was pleasantly surprised to find tons of classic fighting game cabs, as well as fun gimmicky stuff like Taito Drummer and that dumb table flipping game. A huge section of UFO cranes, too. Probably the coolest thing I saw was this game Gunslinger Stratos, though, which is an extremely anime game that's in the 3rd person team-vs action genre that's gotten big over there, like Gundam VS etc. What's especially interesting, though, is that it uses a lightgun mechanic- the guns have joysticks on them for moving your character, but the aiming is done with the pair of akimbo pistols, which have magnets embedded in them so that when you link them together in different configurations, your character will equip a different weapon. It's super cool and actually a good game, to boot. That's rad. Reminds me of the time I went to the mall once for the first time in quite a while and there was an arcade that had a Samba de Amigo 2000 cabinet, the Episode I Racer Sega game, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, and a Cue Ball Wizard pinball machine.

Magic Hate Ball posted:I'm so sorry. It's one of the better Gottlieb tables, too! I have a certain fondness for it because I played the hell out of it in the old Microsoft Pinball Arcade game. Finally seeing it in the wild during a time when you couldn't find a loving pinball machine anywhere was a trip. I still question how much I actually need that ramp shot, though, despite exhortations to the contrary.

If you want to know a little more about pinball then I highly recommend the documentary TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball. The movie itself is on iTunes and is pretty good for what's basically a 60 minute, one man rookie production focusing on the story of how the team at Williams pushed a last-ditch technological gimmick that was pretty cool in order to keep pinball alive, and then Williams immediately pulled the original Konami on 'em. However, I STRONGLY suggest getting the DVD if you're very curious, because it is absolutely loaded with extras, including extended interview footage, footage of rare tables and prototypes, the pinball factory itself... it's nuts. The current little resurgence was still a ways off when this first came out, so it's also a little bit of a time capsule of the decade or so where pinball barely existed.

Resident Evil 4 has one of my favorite credits sequences. After a whole cheesy action game of just blasting the poo poo out of mind-control-plagued Spaniards you get this elegiac series of still sketches and music depicting how these poor villagers were taken in and taken over by the main villains. It's arguably ludicrous and unearned given the game's overall tone, but I think it still works as kind of a standalone bit even then. As for movies, I sit through them to the end almost every time. The music is typically god come-down. I get irrationally annoyed when watching something with someone and they suddenly blast through the credits as it ends.

Timby posted:Yeah, I mean, I loving love the 1994 Street Fighter movie (everyone praises Julia in it, and he's magical considering his health at the time, but I also just adore how it goes whole hog with the absurdity, and Revell's score is excellent), but I'd never confuse it with being "good." Spatulater bro! posted:Exactly. If Timby loves Street Fighter, he should confidently argue its greatness on the basis that "it goes whole hog with the absurdity, and Revell's score is excellent". I'll go to bat for Street Fighter. It's funny on purpose. The guy from the UN is the best character after Bison. When the final showdown kicks off it's practically nonstop action until the end. Everyone ends up in their game costumes somehow after most of them spending a good portion of the runtime not in them. I want Zangief to be my friend.

CPL593H posted:I'm a huge David Bowie fan and I was really into Mott The Hoople for a while. A thing people always overlook about Bowie is that he had a great eye for talent and picked a lot of great people to collaborate with either in a big way like Iggy Pop or Lou Reed or in terms of finding musicians to work with in the studio and on stage. But anyway I agree with you about All The Young Dudes. The Bowie studio version just isn't as good at Mott's version or his own live version. I also really like the Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture version so much because it's part of a really good medley. I spend a lot of time listening to and/or reading about this kind of stuff. I also like to read album credits to see what musicians were involved. Bowie worked with an amazing list of people in the 70s. Drummer Dennis Davis worked with Bowie a lot in the 70s and also died last year. His son's interviewing his dad's friends about him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY0JBiRBLH4
