  1. I loved Lucky. was stuck in my head for a good day after watching. I think I get what you're saying - that this was pegged as a film about a guy at the end of his life struggling to find the point of it - and that's exactly what we saw in the film. that didn't bother me too much, though. there were a few scenes where I thought things could veer off into a much darker place for him but didn't, and I was sorta relieved the film didn't do that. also +1 on still buying DVD's. I actually bought Lucky on DVD earlier this year.
  2. ah damn....he was an excellent character actor. he popped up in so many tv show's back in the '80s/'90s. I got sucked in to watching that con man drama White Collar some years back, and he was a big part of me wanting to continue on with it. fun fact - many moons ago when I lived in Hollywood north, I did some extra work on movies/TV. one was this silly baseball movie with Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore, and I was in the background of a scene they shot at a sports bar in downtown Toronto. the scene involved Willie Garson sitting at the bar talking to Fallon, and then one of them says something offensive and the whole bar stops and stares at them. I immediately recognized him from the X-files since I'm a big fan, and was probably more excited to see him than Fallon/Drew Barrymore (although she was much hotter in person than I though she'd be, short too). I remember after the take Willie kept cracking jokes with the crew, and seemed like he was probably a far better actor than Fallon. RIP Willie Garson.
  3. didn't realize this genre had a name. I like some Daniel Johnston stuff. but mostly because it reminds me of being a mopey 16 year old, sitting in my bedroom recording crappy emo-ish guitar riffs on an old cassette tape recorder. speaking of outsider, DJ Shadow - The Outsider is a horrible album. the hyphy thing he was pumped about back in '06 never took off because it sucked, and was largely swept under the rug in the hip-hop world.
  4. ja, probably not worth the effort to try and concoct some elaborate meal featuring that nasty mess. the bud had been infused w/everclear a la the green dragon process, so the high alcohol content could also result in some odd stomach ache. plus, I have a routine, and mixing that in will no doubt throw a wrench into that. many a fond memory doing the pipe cleanage. (nice lion reference, heh). that was usually left to the days when things were dry, and you had to go scraping/burning/boiling to get whatever brown/black particles you could muster. it's no doubt a mission that many a grizzled old stoner must surely be familiar with. in fact, there was some movie from back in the day that made a humorous reference to that...
  5. any suggestions as to what to do with de-carbed flower (aka raffinate)? have a jar of brown colored mushy stuff was saving for just in case reasons. suppose I could eat a bit of it to see if anything happens.
  6. B-more to SP...jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, eh? I worked with a guy who lived in Sao Paulo for many years. told me stories about the crazy car jackings, bulletproof cars, etc. that are the norm there. good luck.
  7. yeah there are a ton of excellent microbrews in the US that unfortunately don't make it very far out of region. the selection is somewhat overwhelming actually. this place I go to on occasion - https://www.totalwine.com/ and am always stuck starring at aisles of colorful, very creative beer labels, trying to make an executive decision.
  8. is it too late to move? that guy sounds like a total ass to complain about stuff like that. couldn't imagine living in a place where I had to remain cognizant of whether or not this will result in a neighbor complaint or not. or you just say fuggit and go to war with him
  9. @beerwolf just curious, what other sorts of American beers do you see in supermarkets over there? I'd imagine it's the standard piss beers (Coors, Bud), with maybe a few other random ones mixed in. and in my opinion, sitting in the backyard on a warm sunny day drinking beer is about as good as it gets...
  10. ^ isn't there also something written in there about false idol worship, con men, and not acting like a colossal douchebag your entire life?
  11. but then she'll think he's a psycho. and then she'll think everyone that posts here is a psycho. wouldn't want the forum reputation getting cocked up like that. we have a certain level of dignity that must be maintained 'round these parts.
  12. still in a bit of a state of shock from the Djokovic loss yesterday...that was quite an emotional ending
  13. sounds like an improvement actually. I remember calling the CRA back when I lived there and it would just be a busy signal. no hold music, no call back option, nothing. you had to keep calling repeatedly in hopes someone would finally pick up.
  14. yeah aux, wanted to call you out earlier as to why you went dumpster diving to resurrect this thread, but was worried that may come across as slightly dickish. glad you realize now that we aren't mature enough to discuss subject matter such as this, as it will no doubt turn into a melee of sweaty, naked, Aphex lovin dudes, grappling with each other, while the ghost of Lenin laughs hysterically in the background...
  15. @_vow_of_silence_ you set sail again on the seas of cheese? or just cruisin around the portu coast
  16. yeah I get those. I guess I was just bitching about the ones that are relatively minor, but they still block an extra lane. I was sitting in some gnarly traffic earlier and needed to vent...
  17. why does it take so long to clear a wreck on a highway? so many times I'm sitting in the back-up, then finally get to pass the accident, and it's like 1 damaged car with a tow truck/fire truck/police sitting there blocking an additional lane. everywhere I've driven in US/Canada it's the same. I get safety is a priority, but seems like there should be a more efficient way to do this.
  18. oh c'mon man...your english is fine. I've seen you say that before and thought wtf is he talking about. remember, here on watmm, even native english speakers like myself sometimes have no fuckin clue what other english speakers here are going on about.
  19. no clue about the aztecs, but this reminds me of something a friend of mine told me years ago after visiting India. he said people trying to sell you stuff in India don't all do the universal head nod for "yes" or shaking the head for "no." they do some sort of in between, like a head wobbling side to side, which you are essentially left to interpret it as a possible yes or a no based on however the interaction is going.
  20. from what little I know of these type of groups, sounds about right. they call themselves church of satan or something similar, but no, we're not satan worshippers! we're open-minded naturalists talking about pantheism, spiritualism, or some other new-agey mumbo jumbo. I'm old school though. I like good vs. evil nicely compartmentalized. I grew up in the latch key kid era where devil worshipping satanists could break into your house at any minute and cut everyone up into tiny pieces. so keep the fuckin door locked!
