49760Last Movie You Watched<p>Movie 43</p> <p>I knew this movie by reputation before watching it on Netflix last night. Critics really hated it, but I thought most of the segments in it were&nbsp;pretty funny. It has the same kind of stupid humor that you find in short clips on YouTube.</p> <p>At the very least, it&#39;s fun to see so many huge actors give undoubtedly their most embarassing performances.</p> MamboGatorApr 09, 2023View

49758The Future ain't Free<p>&nbsp;</p> <blockquote><strong>eddstarr wrote :</strong> <br> <p><em>But even protesting college students at Berkeley in 1964 recognized that everything has a cost and you can&#39;t ignore economics - no matter how cool the ideas on paper may seem.</em></p> <em> </em><br /> <strong>-end quote</strong></blockquote> <p>Definitely. Star Trek really handwaves how they got to their utopia by saying &quot;well, we evolved past the concept of money.&quot; In reality, that&#39;s probably not going to happen--at least not in the foreseeable future well beyond any of our lifetimes. So humans need to shift priorities (or reach a level of comfort) to where they&#39;re willing to spend a lot more money on aesthetics instead of just settling for something that&#39;s functional.</p> <p>Even just replacing or upgrading our existing infrastructure would be a step toward a more futuristic look. Replacing our old, dated trains and utilities with something more modern would have the side effect of making it look more modern/futuristic. But those kind of projects happen through large-scale initiatives where either a windfall government or rich benefactor invests a ton into civic uplifting. Or there could&nbsp;be some urgent incentive to do so, like if the existing infrastructure is literally falling apart (which it is in many places, but the government is too poor or corrupt to do anything about it). Sorta like the Cold War resulting in the &quot;giant leap&quot; that fast tracked the space program in order to stay ahead of the ideological enemy.</p> MamboGatorApr 09, 2023View

49754What did you eat?<p>Supper from Captain D&#39;s.</p> <p>A word of advice:<br /> <br /> Never, ever eat at Captain D&#39;s unless you&#39;re really, really, REALLY hungry!<br /> <br /> It&#39;s a good place and all, but they give you SO much food!<br /> <br /> So if you plan on going there, you better have a serious appetite!</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WQ10kvcmbyU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p> Mr MagicApr 08, 2023View

49751Last Movie You Watched<p>Slumber Party Massacre 2</p> <p>A lot more goofier&nbsp;than the first film. Unlike Russ Thorn, this guy, who&#39;s known as The Driller Killer,&nbsp;is more of a comedic figure. A party animal, if you will. But he still delivers some ,scary gruesome moments.</p> <p>An okay film to say the least.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Mr MagicApr 06, 2023View
