KIC 8462852 (Tabby's star) what is it? 'The SETI Institute is following up on the possibility that the stellar system KIC 8462852 might be home to an advanced civilization....' http://www.seti.org/seti-institute/mysterious-star-kic-8462852 http://earthsky.org/space/news-about-mystery-star-kic-8462852 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIC_8462852

then use the power of photosynthesis to grow flowers & wait for some bees to help pollinate & spread your seed oh is actually odd future, going to skip that

sprite

yeah it felt like a series of very set up set pieces, rather then a harmonious flow of gravy. whats the odd future thing?

i was kinda hoping from the clip below, the whole show/season was going to be an MDE style 'sitcom' but guess that might burn out after a few episodes, but feel slightly disappointed with that first one still some lol moments 'condo!' -

rip david huddleston

watch wayward pines also duffer brothers :/

Again, I think you are missing the point of this show. But there are too many movies and shows that do this. I kinda feel like we don't need any more remakes, tributes, homages, inspired-by's for a quite a long time, as there's been no shortage of those at all lol Hollywood has become a shadow of itself. Every now and then, an original idea comes out with a decent budget, but even then amongst those small occurances, it's very hard to find those kinds of productions that aren't compromised in some major way. Hollywood has been rehashing and reinventing itself since its inception - Star Wars was inspired by the Flash Gordon movies of the 40's and the Akira Kurosawa films, etc. If anything, I think when a truly original idea does come along, it stands out and is more special. The problem is, there just really isn't many original, GOOD ideas anymore. that's the problem i have with this show. it isn't good. it's bringing nothing to the table to subvert or reinvent the ideas it exploits. it's just a checklist of eighties references. star wars functioned as a kind of found art object, a dream of serialized fantasy from the forties with cutting edge special effects and a well developed, universally appealing mythology of its own. one of the larger problems with nerd culture suddenly co-opting popular culture and especially movies is the tidal wave of reference laden, plot based films and television shows that reduce narrative story telling to its most basic components. there are no "original" ideas, obviously. everything is the sum of its influences. but a good artist can focus their influences into a statement that gives us some sense of their feelings about the world, some kind of self expression, even if its through the somewhat myopic prism of pop nostalgia. what i get watching stranger things is that the duffer bros watched a lot of shit in the eighties and read stephen king. i have no idea who they are, what they feel, what the purpose of their work is. and then the work itself fails to entertain or surprise. it's a game of spot the reference. this is what most films have been reduced to. either an ideological checklist a blogger can write thinkpieces about (did we have a strong female protagonist, did we subvert the patriarchal/racist hollywood paradigm, was it problematic?) or a bunch of references and techniques that a redditor can create a front page post about (here's all the shots in stranger things that reference other films). it's boring, lowest common denominator commercial art and i think we can do better. true, i think there is a massive problem with nostalgia at the mo, like a strange echo time shift, in film culture anyhow so many remakes etc ec

night of the living dildo

http://www.care2.com/causes/the-walking-dead-just-took-a-major-step-for-animal-rights.html The trailer introduces King Ezekiel, an intimidating character to say the least, with his pet tiger Shiva. Held by a chain around her neck, Shiva roars to the camera but, rest easy, animal lovers, because Shiva is not an actual tiger. She is made of animatronics and CGIsince the show’s executive producer, Scott M. Gimple, didn’t think having a real tiger on set was a good idea. because Shiva is not an actual tiger

On that note, is anyone else here interested in collecting caps? I have a deep photo frame on the wall filled with caps, I almost have enough to fill the second one but I've apparently drunk every drink there is to drink in this area with a vaguely interesting cap. Got lots of doubles for swappin', mostly Ontario/upstate NY but also some Eurobooze, anyone fancy a swap by post? I like the idea of collecting caps, but I already have too much stuff on my walls yeah i usually end up just putting them in the recycle bin if i remember the correct one, but yeah they kind of feel like coins lol

Corsendonk do beer real good what is this? looks amazing, pls pour into comp

yeah agree, not sure how anyone has been able to completely digest this so quickly to get really opienated, give it a couple of listens over some days to sink in at least

Have you basically just said that you haven't really listened to the music because you use it as a background noise for your gaming sessions? My brain can actually process and properly enjoy both yeah. But describing Autechre as "background noise" just isn't right and you know it as much as me :) (and, well, Doom is one of those games where you actually don't really have to focus that much lol) Human brain cannot do multitasking. It just constantly skips between the activities you do at a given time. I have noted your name in my list of people who to not trust in music rating. *hugs spiral* swap jev with jeb

pitches to marvel- Dreadlock a single dreadlock which flies around the world wearing a small cape, locking doors leaving people in dread

anything by Charanjit Singh especially Ten ragas to a disco beat

the old rubberhose spike strip gag to hector's car perhaps... it certainly looks like a contraption to stop a car, can't think of another use. thought it's for the truck, as the ep started with the truck and ended with the hose. is "the old rubberhose spike strip gag" actually a thing? Yea, could also be for the delivery truck as well. Don't know if it's actually a thing, but if we see a rise in home made spike strip use, we'll know where it came from. i can imagine something pressurised is going to happen with it, it won't be good for the plants
