Ok, something I should have started a long time ago. My thoughts about the stuff I see/do/use. I’ve probably driven a couple hundred different cars over the years not to mention tech equipment and moovies.
Here goes the first one.
Gran Torino-
Awesome movie. Clint is the man. If I ever met him I’d probably be apprehensive before the awe would set in. He’s just so intimidating. His little grunts etc. really say so much more than actions. The movie is an onslaught of racial slurs that had the whole movie theater laughing. Definitely rated ‘R’ for a reason. Not for kids. There were a couple of times where the laughter was so much that you missed the next dialog. The car of course is sweet. There were some very predictable parts, including the ending, but I thought it was done well. It’s always questionable when the movie is starred, directed, and produced by the same person, but it didn’t have a spotlight on one person feel to it. It’s a must see, and for the humor I can guarantee I’ll buy the DVD.

you still spend $ on media?
Ha!. Of course I do. And when it comes to kids’ discs I usually end up buying hte same one a couple of times because of the scratches.
wow, how moral/ethical of you. I d/l everything. When I get physical media (hand me downs from her cousin) I rip it and set aside the original for safekeeping (read: I can’t remember where I put it, so it’s not likely to get scratched up)
what’s up w/ the avatars? am I missing it, or can’t we change them ourselves?
I saw them as an optoin so I thought it would be funny. I think they’re auto-generated per user. Here’s the settings verbatim. I chose MonsterID. I don’t see any settings to disallow users uploading their own. I’ll make a new account and check it out.
