The Other Guys (2010) in Movies ·
I don't think I've ever laughed this hard in my life. You seriously need to watch this with a group of friends.

Those homeless homo-guys 😂.
What's the best David Fincher movie? in Movies ·
No question about it; Fight Club.
The Smiths in Movies ·
Total disappointment. Honestly, the concept was killer, but they completely blew it. Everything about the execution felt off.
Super (2010) in Movies ·
Nathan Fillion👍🙏🎉👋
Rambo series in Movies ·
I really ought to rewatch the first one. It’s been forever, and honestly, I can barely remember anything besides that one scene where his buddy gets blown up by a bomb brought in by a shoe shiner; that part just stuck with me.

I actually just rewatched the fourth one a few days ago, and man, it’s great. The only real downside is a couple of those clunky lines right at the start. I'm actually trying to track down the Director's Cut now so I can watch it again.😁

I think briskhound2 is right—his girlfriend is pretty much the only reason he even went looking for those missionaries.
Tekken (2010) in Movies ·
He’ll absolutely wreck his life, and then he’ll just go around beating everyone else up too. Oh, and don't forget that whole "Luka, I'm your uncle" cliché. He’s got the physique of a guy who spends way too much time at the gym—all chest and glutes. Pretty mediocre, honestly.
Walk Hard is such a brilliant parody. Honestly, these other "so-called Movies" are just straight-up garbage.
Directors who totally missed the mark in Movies ·
briskfalcon45 said:Hey, MrBeast, I guess you think... Panic Room Was it any good? I don't think so. I guess I knew.. 😢

Man, honestly, now that I've had some time to sit with it—it’s actually an excellent movie.🙂😍

Anyway, changing the subject—we were talking about Curtis Hanson earlier... I think he's the one. It leaked....
Since those movies were actually pretty great: I’ve been thinking about L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys lately. Both are such solid picks. I guess they both just hit that sweet spot for me.,
I guess they followed up: I was thinking about 8 Mile and In Her Shoes today. Maybe I’m just in a certain mood, but they both seem to stick in my mind for different reasons..🤮

Panic Room is great; honestly, anyone who can pull a decent performance out of Kristen Stewart deserves an Oscar for their entire career.

He's really the last piece of the puzzle. 🤦
Gary Oldman as Stansfield in Leon

James Whitmore as Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption

And I gotta throw in a bonus: Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. That role was just on another level.
Religion
Psychology
Vegetarians (wherever they fit in)
I rewatched this a few days ago. Honestly? It’s a masterpiece. I’m still just as blown away now as I was the very first time I saw it. It’s raw, gritty, and just totally brutal. Val Kilmer🙏 was incredible. If the movie had gotten more hype, I bet he would've walked away with an Oscar. My only real issue is that ever since I saw Kilmer with a beard, I can't stop mixing him up with Bridges.😁
Repo Men (2010) in Movies ·
Anthony Smith3 said:Yeah, right! Like you're actually gonna pay up now!

This sounds pretty interesting to me, especially since you can draw some parallels to today’s consumer culture and everyone constantly maxing out their credit cards. I wonder if people would still be swiping like crazy if the consequences were a bit more heavy-handed—not quite this extreme, obviously, but maybe like having your house or car automatically repossessed if those debts aren't settled on time.

I don't know, the whole concept feels a bit forced to me.
If they just focused more on the action and less on the deep philosophy, I think it would actually be great.
Repo Men (2010) in Movies ·
I just watched the trailer and, honestly, the whole concept seems pretty stupid to me. If you don't pay up, they just show up and rip out your heart, or your kidney, or your liver... then what? Are they just going to leave you there to die?

BTW, Jude Law is a total star. 😁
I haven't actually watched any of them.😳
What do Americans think about Russians? in Miscellaneous ·
Russians rule. They've got style.😁
Putin is ruthless, Frederick is a total legend, and Sharapova is a real piece of work.👍
500 Days of Summer, Righteous Kill, Max Payne(🤦, maybe trying to build something like the greatest game ever made...)
Technically perfect movies in Movies ·
Fight Club.
The Avatar is totally out of the running.🙂
Best speakers under $75 (ideally Bose, 60W+) in Computer Peripherals ·
Austin Hughes5 said:Look, I checked out a ton of different spots and ended up grabbing these 3000A since the 2000X was out of stock. I'll let you guys know how they sound once I get them dialed in.

Just a heads up, you’ve gotta give them some time to break in, so don't be afraid to really push them.😁

I honestly don't think those 20W specs mean much—actually, they probably mean nothing at all. I'd bet the amp is basically identical and the drivers are the same size; I guess the 3000 just has a slightly larger cabinet.
Regarding the bass, it’s soft and smooth, which is exactly how it should be. You aren't getting that cheap, "hammer hitting a floorboard" kind of thud or any distortion. It isn't incredibly powerful, but if you set them up right—maybe keep them at least 8 inches away from the wall on the back and sides—you can get a really solid sound out of them.
I can't quite remember what I paid for them, maybe somewhere around $133.
