How are you all blocking dust? I've got two 120mm fans on the side panel. I tried using a simple plastic mesh once, but too much dust was getting through. So, I used zip ties 😁 but that isn't working out. Every time I vacuum 🙄 they shift around... I'm just waiting for them to fall off completely.

What else can I use? I need some kind of thin mesh, a screen, or a filter, but what... and where? Any advice would be appreciated 🤣

We should start a league without referees🙂 just to counter this current 😁

It doesn't bother me personally, but given all the tech we have—at least in the top tier leagues and tournaments—I don't see this as a leap forward. It feels more like half a step... We’d be much better off if cameras were used as actual tools, with just one extra official stationed at the monitor. Imagine if a "director" simply fed the footage of a specific play to that official as quickly as possible. Then they could make the call themselves or advise the head ref, who would then finalize it. That would be the ideal way...

Why can't I cast my vote on IMDb? It keeps throwing this error at me:

Sorry, there was a problem collecting your vote.

Is anyone else running into this? If not, let's all get voting. Everyone give it a 10, just to bump up this 6...😁

Until recently, an IMDb user rating was being debated by some guy... an American. He argued the score was so low because Americans just don't care for films where the protagonist doesn't get a happy ending. He claimed the movie performs much better overseas... I might have a point there. There is nothing inherently American about this film. The man faces his fate and simply accepts it. No > moments, nothing of the sort that typically gets Americans fired up. To hell with them...

Jack "Bullet" Stein is a Jewish junkie from the mean streets of Brooklyn, released on parole after eight years behind bars. After Jack robs a runner working for a local kingpin named Tank, he quickly falls back into the cycle of snorting coke and shooting heroin alongside his buddy Lester. Enraged by Jack's disrespect and fueled by an old grudge, Tank decides to settle the score by sending a massive brute named Gates to break him. But when they finally clash, Gates ends up breaking his own hand on the seasoned Jack. Besides Lester, the only people in Jack's corner are his two brothers, the mentally-unhinged Vietnam War veteran Louis and aspiring artist Ruby, neither of whom are much help when the final showdown arrives.

One of the most underrated films ever, in my view. I'll never understand that 6.0 rating... I first saw this on TV back in '98, but it was interrupted by so many commercials that the technical aspect left a bad impression, especially with those jump cuts. However, after watching the DVD recently, my perspective shifted. To me, this is Mickey Rourke's finest work. Rourke was at his absolute peak here, and his performance is perfection. He's joined by Adrien Brody and Ted Levin as his brothers, with Tupac Shakur playing the antagonist. Everyone is phenomenal. It’s a great film if you simply stop watching it as a "movie"... For me, a solid 8...

👍

The film. I have no idea how a script like this managed to land Robert De Niro and Al Pacino... It feels like something starring Lorenzo Lamasa and his brother instead.
