@MN5 Pfft! A pathetic play on this one:-

Wrestlemania 13 (1997)
Pretty fun, interesting to see the genesis of some Attitude-Era personalities.
Bradshaw doing cowboy-schtick.
Rocky-Maivia before he became The-Rock - doing what became typically The-Rock things.
Hunter-Hearst-Helmsley - before he became Triple-H. With Chyna. Against Goldust doing Goldusty things.
Vader, British Bulldog, Owen Hart, Mankind... WTF.
there was apparently Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Bret the Hitman Hart with Ken Shamrock as guest ref
And The Undertaker at one of his primes - against [sic] Sycho Sid who I'd forgotten.

Sid was awesome.

One of the most intimidating wrestlers of all time.

I thought that the premise gave them enough material for a really good short film or one-off TV episode (40 mins), but they ran through it and couldn't go somewhere else with it. The portrayal of the president was really weak.

Well, I really liked it. I like those types of talky movies and I thought the switching focus was a good way to tell the story. The only storyline I felt completely out of place was:

Spoiler

The FEMA worker, but I guess they were using her to show the nuclear bunker at the end.

On the ending:

Spoiler

I kind of guessed that would be the ending as it progressed, so it didn't jar as much with me as I assume it does with others.

I'd even add all the points that @MN5 knocked off and in the context of it including Rebecca Ferguson, put it up to 4 out 5.

So the.......

Spoiler

same story three times ? if watching people on a zoom call from different perspectives with absolutely no clear ending floats your boat then yeah, the movie was amazing 😉

I thought it was complete shit, interested in the views of others !

Each to their own, I think a lot of the music you like is shit, and that's before we get into the memes. 😉

What ????? Like who ?????

My music taste is awesome

Your music taste was at best reasonable.
In the 90s.

I’ll always draw the line at Fleetwood Mac, Eagles and Six 60. Way too edgy and exciting for me

We may agree here. 🙂

Surely THE most boring band of all time.

In saying that some tunes that Lindsay Buckingham sing on are great. Big Love and Never going back again are terrific. I obviously just hate the girls for whatever reason.

I can't stand them, all of them, male and female songs alike.

See that’s why we get on most of the time.

They are the absolute epitome of safe, boring middle of the road, dreary shit.

Perfect soundtrack to a House of Dynamite really.

Safe, boring middle of the road, dreary shit. Sounds like you're talking about all that derivative 90s grunge slop to me.
I do agree that Fleetwood Mac are a bit shit though - but would go further on Buckingham, he's a gun.

I’m not a massive fan of Nirvana or Pearl Jam. I hope this makes me cooler in your eyes.

Yeah nah sorry, that gets you no points in my seemingly arbitrary but 100% accurate assessment of cool. The derivative bit is every fluffybunny who arrived after them and made it boring as fuck. Pearl Jam themselves obviously big contributors to making it boring.
But really it was all a long time ago and just not good enough to hang on to, in my humble as fuck opinion.

You might have to throw some names at me to remind me what is decent then ?

You wouldn't have heard of them.

Edgy sounding playlist by the sounds of things.

I do hate the word "Grunge" though. They're rock bands. Pure and Simple.

Going through a bit of a stressful time.

One of my sons is eating electrical cords. I'm not sure how to punish him.

I guess I'll have to ground him until he conducts himself properly.

They did some cool songs, none better than this one. Nice guitar licks.

The vid for this is good value, looks like they're having loads of fun.

RIP

@Nepia said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:

I've got the fucking high ground.

How to make the trickle down theory even more horrifying.

@Nepia yeah I remember the first season being pretty good, I know I watched S2 but no recollection of it at all.

@sparky said in Happiness Scale:

Anyone ever lived in Switzerland?

Two years in the late '80's/early '90's.

Really lovely people (hospitality outstanding) but the place was so rule-bound it became a bit of a pain. Things rarely went wrong, but when they did, it was total chaos.

Simple, sensible tax regime though.

Community Notes works pretty well, that's why Zuck is copying it for his platforms. The crowd source approach is a good interim step until we get AI watermarks somehow. XAI have a plan for that, will see how effective it ends up being.

Will definitely need some sort of blockchain/watermark that can't be spoofed for video from politicans and news reports sooner rather than later.

Even I get caught by AI Video now, and I'm looking for it. Good videos are indistinguishable from real videos now.

"Great" (I really like cold sausages)

Uncover the foil-wrapped dish

They are vegan sausages

Just fuck off

@mikedogz That's brilliant news. Congratulations! 👏

@Rancid-Schnitzel The Borg would have made better tv shows.

I don't know Wordpress but Grok gives a comprehensive answer on how best to go about doing it: https://grok.com/c/fd288606-2fb8-4e7b-b331-be3514116cbb (Edit - scroll down to your question, I forgot I included another question previously)

I'd think there would be someone in your Chess community who is handy with basic webdev and could knock it out.

@Tim said in Documentaries:

On this note, I've lived on and off in the same apartment building in China for about 5 years in total time. In that time I've about one week of complaints (ameliorated by putting a giant rubber mat under my desk chair). Recently I have had some psycho who just complains about everything. Might be a xenophobe, literally called the police on me because I was making too much noise by getting ice out of my freezer etc.

The other night, he put in about the 30th noise complaint when I was watching a movie in bed with headphones. It was time to do some heavy metal singing.

Danzig

Moterhead

Fuck that piece of shit

The thing is it’s hard to know when the idiot will do something REALLY stupid. My wife is convinced this clown is going to come through the front door and mow us down. Every once in a while I think she might be right. It’s such a drag knowing the dickhead is just over there.
