You think that’s going to happen once you finally mature? Don't hold your breath; reaching 27 doesn't mean you've actually grown up, that's pretty much the limit...
Train to Busan 2: Peninsula (2020) in Movies ·
Will the cast be the same? Where's Sue and that pregnant actress (I can't for the life of me remember her name)?

Is this one little?

Ikiru (1952) in Movies ·
I'm right there with you on this. It honestly would have been much more impactful if they hadn't leaned into that heavy-handed sentimentality at the very end when everyone starts realizing just how great he actually was. For me, though, that scene involving his son was genuinely heartbreaking...

Honestly, if I ever catch this thing, I might just skip the whole ordeal and jump straight off my balcony to get it over with... The widow of the late Dr. Pašagić: My husband was a victim of our healthcare system, not the coronavirus

neonhound32 said:I honestly think he was just blowing off steam since he never actually got caught or convicted. But then again, you can never truly know what goes on inside the mind of a psychopath or a sociopath...

Poor Timothy and his entire family. If he’d had even a shred more common sense, the whole thing would have ended up completely differently...

Back then, times were much more innocent, and people generally gave others the benefit of the doubt, especially if someone sounded professional or carried themselves like an authority figure.

All things considered, it’s such a bizarre situation; if we didn't know this was based on true events, people would probably say there's no way someone could be quite as naive as Timothy. 🙂 And leaving a baby all alone... just unbelievable.

I find it hard to believe that people were ever truly that foolish. Human nature remains constant; it’s just our social norms that shift over time.

I wasn't familiar with the actual story, and man, this was just brutal to watch. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that people with that kind of sociopathy actually exist in the world...
Since the dialogue at the start is based as closely as possible on real transcripts, the plot itself felt pretty grounded and convincing. Where I really lost interest, though, was that segment where Christie manipulates John Hurt into thinking he needs to flee just to avoid prison time. You could try to chalk it up to his lack of wits, but honestly, you can't be quite that dim...
The atmosphere was spot on, though—really captured the right mood.
My one major gripe has to be the costume design. Seriously, could they not find anything better for Attenborough than using some woman's stockings to simulate a bald head...

Steven Newman50 said:The director is Richard Fleischer, and I can't even remember half the stuff he's done; all I really recall is Red Sonja with Schwarzenegger back when he was just a kid. 😬 And sure, there's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Kirk Douglas. I've got a few more of his films sitting on my IMDb watchlist, including Soylent Green, among others. He even won an Oscar for a documentary back in 1947.

For me, Compulsion and Narrow Margin were actually pretty good.

mistybison said:The movie held my interest, but the characters felt a bit off. With all the lying and playing parts, I really expected Christie to be smarter and actually manage to cover up all those murders.

According to Wikipedia, he had an IQ of 128. Clearly, he was intelligent enough to hide eight murders over the span of a decade. 🤷

mistybison said:Maybe killing a child did something to him? 🤔 Or the trial? 🤔 Or maybe his condition just progressed that way naturally? 🤷

Something probably just broke inside him, seeing as he ended up breaking down in tears during the trial...
It’s actually pretty common for these kinds of viruses to just rename your files while leaving the originals sitting right there, just tucked away where you can't see them... You might want to go into your macOS settings and toggle the option to "show hidden files."
But honestly, looking at what Christian Torres3 is saying, this sounds like one of those deeper issues that you should probably just take to someone over at Accenture...
How do I convert a PDF back to Microsoft Word? in IT Support ·
There are plenty of online converters out there, but honestly, the quality is usually pretty garbage... just Google "Microsoft Word to PDF" if you really want to go down that route.
By the way, if you use Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can actually edit the text directly within the PDF itself.

Ethan Brooks59 said:I've been wondering the same thing lately—is this some kind of new glitch? Because honestly, even my photos on Instagram aren't loading anymore...

U postu: I honestly don't see why everyone is making such a massive deal out of this situation, because if you actually take a second to step back and look at the logic behind it, the whole thing starts to feel incredibly forced and unnecessary... It’s like people are just looking for something to be outraged about lately, grasping at straws to justify their own biases instead of looking at the actual facts presented on the table. I was reading what Jessica Morris6 had to say earlier, and while I can see where she's coming from from a certain perspective, it still feels like she's missing the broader context that makes this entire debate so much more complicated than a simple yes or no question... And then there's Brenda Gonzalez12, who seems to think that everything can be solved by just following the most rigid, bureaucratic rules possible, as if we're living in some kind of corporate dystopia where nuance goes to die. It’s exhausting, really, watching these endless cycles of the same arguments being recycled over and over again without anyone ever actually addressing the core issue at hand... We keep circling the drain, talking around the problem, pretending that if we just use the right buzzwords or follow the latest trend, the solution will magically appear out of thin air. Even when darktinker4 tries to chime in with those pointed observations, it feels like they're just adding fuel to an already raging fire rather than trying to dampen the flames. There is a fundamental lack of patience in these discussions, a desperate need for immediate gratification and easy answers that simply don't exist in a society as complex as ours... If we could just sit down, stop shouting for five minutes, and actually weigh the implications of these decisions, we might get somewhere, but instead, we just continue this frantic, directionless scramble toward nothingness... It seems like you might have cut off your message there... I was waiting to see where you were going with that, but if you need me to get to work on a specific piece of text, just send it over whenever you're ready... I'll be here. I honestly don't see why people get so worked up about this specific topic, though I suppose it’s easy to be loud when you don't actually understand the underlying mechanics of how things work in this country... It feels like everyone is just shouting into the void without any real substance behind their arguments. I was reading some comments earlier—specifically what Brenda Gonzalez12 was saying—and it’s just frustrating because there is such a blatant lack of nuance in the way these discussions are being handled lately. It isn't just one person, either. Even when someone like darktinker4 tries to bring up a point that actually requires a bit of thought, the response is usually just immediate, knee-jerk hostility. We aren't living in some lawless frontier where we can just throw insults around and call it a debate; we have systems in place, social norms, and a certain level of decorum that seems to be evaporating by the second... It’s exhausting to watch. And then you have the people who think they've cracked the code on every single issue, acting as if their personal experience is the universal standard for all Americans. If you listen to the way Jessica Morris6 talks about these matters, you'd think the entire world revolved around one specific viewpoint, which, as anyone with a modicum of sense knows, is never the case... It’s a strange cycle of ego and ignorance that keeps us from ever having a productive conversation, and frankly, I'm starting to wonder if anyone actually wants to find common ground anymore...

I initially tried uploading the photos using direct links, but then a user reached out to let me know they weren't actually showing up on their end. So, after that little hiccup, I went ahead and followed the instructions laid out in the post exactly as written... I honestly don't know how much more I can say about this before my head starts spinning, but here we go again... It’s just one thing after another with these people who think they can dictate how everyone else lives their lives based on some outdated, rigid set of rules that don't even apply to the modern world anymore. They act like they have some sort of moral high ground, sitting there in their little bubbles, judging anyone who dares to step outside the lines they've drawn, and it's frankly exhausting to witness... I was reading what Jessica Morris6 had to say earlier, and while I see where she's coming from regarding the general sentiment, I really think she's missing the nuance of the situation. It isn't as black and white as she makes it out to be, and if you actually take a second to look at the broader implications of these policies, you'd see that they aren't just inconveniences—they are fundamental shifts in how our society functions... And then you have Brenda Gonzalez12 chiming in with those comments that feel like they were pulled straight from a Sunday morning sermon, which is fine if that's your vibe, I guess, but we aren't living in a small town in the Midwest anymore; we are living in a massive, interconnected country where things are far more complicated than "right" versus "wrong"... Even darktinker4 seems to be getting caught up in the fervor, pushing an agenda that feels increasingly disconnected from the reality most Americans face on a daily basis. It’s like there’s this collective refusal to acknowledge that the world has moved on, yet here we are, still arguing over the same tired tropes as if they haven't been debunked a thousand times over... It's just relentless...

I can't even see the photos anymore, and honestly, I've already missed my window to go back and edit the post... 😵 Once you hit that post quota, the link to the photo finally shows up...

Instagram isn't working on this forum. Just use Imgur, Postimages, or ImgBB instead...
Valentino Rossi in Music ·
Just a little corner for old stuff. They also announced a new album coming soon.

Steven Newman50 said:I’m telling you right now, Vojko V sounds even worse in person than they do on a recording like this ☕

I caught them live maybe two or three times last year, and honestly, it wasn't anything special... there are plenty of bands out there that actually sound much better when they hit the stage.
Don't you think most music just hits different when you're at a live concert compared to how it sounds on a studio recording? Well, except for that one Nipplepeople exception that everyone here seems to be arguing about...

Ads are driving me crazy in Feedback & Suggestions ·
That’s the first time I’ve ever run into this... on my end, it just keeps pulling up those Wittgenstein treatises.
Dennis Hall41 said:Does anyone have any recommendations for a truly great double album released in the last few years? I can't help but wonder if this whole format is just slowly dying out...

I actually just finished downloading and listening to the Colosseum - Reunion Concerts release today—it’s a recent reissue, though the original recordings go all the way back to 1995. It features two full concerts on there, and honestly, it was fantastic...

Best external Western Digital drive recommendations? in Computer Peripherals ·
Awesome, thanks. It’s pushing my budget a little bit, but since everything is generally more affordable here in the States than it is back home, I'm guessing this will be too. I'll definitely do some digging into it...
Best external Western Digital drive recommendations? in Computer Peripherals ·
I'm currently living in the USA, and I'm looking for some advice on picking up an external hard drive... ideally something around 2 TB, though I wouldn't say no to a 4 TB model if there's a decent deal out there that doesn't break the bank. My budget is strictly under $110. To be honest, I’m not exactly an expert when it comes to hardware specs, and I don't really know my way around all the different brands...

I came across this one online. Someone mentioned to me once that back in the day, Bill Gates' old tech was basically synonymous with junk, but maybe things have changed since they acquired Seagate Technology...

Does anyone have recommendations for other reliable brands? If there isn't anything worth buying for under $110, I guess I'll just settle for a 1 TB drive, even though that feels a bit small for what I need...
Giallo: Playing with Genres in Movies ·
That’s hardly the only case where we see this happening. Take film noir, for instance—that’s a quintessentially American genre, yet you constantly see a mountain of European films being shoved into the same category here. It's just like how they handle M or Bob the Flamethrower...

cosmiclynx57 said:Wait, so are all those Riddick movies actually connected to each other? Like, can I just jump straight into the latest one from 2013 without having seen any of the earlier stuff first?

Why on earth would you want to watch the absolute worst entry in a trilogy without any context...
