Getting Windows 7 to install onto a USB drive using Rufus Buying a new laptop at a good price without a charger then when it arrives, find that an old laptop charger works (!!)

Cheech and Chong's Savages (2012) - Thank you Oliver Stone for this update of weed smoking smugglers and growers in California. Cheech has now changed his name to Ben and a year backpacking after graduating from Princeton has allowed him to set up his own charity foundation. Chong has lost the 'g' and now plays ice hockey ALOT. From the free spirit movement of the 1970s, we now see that life in the 2010s is just quite bland and people like to be called the first letter of their name. 'Aveawankinstead/10

Philip Roth's Digital Man - not sure when this was made but it feels like an extended intro to one of those dystopia sci-fi games on the ps1 like G-Police or Colony Wars. The main cyborg is a rip off of Robocop but with an even bigger gun. I think the director was over compensating for the lack of budget. More crew cuts than Top Gun. The headmaster from the Breakfast Club is in the same universe but had a career change, now he is turning heel in a counter terrorism unit somewhere in Northern USA. One of the best from Roth's oeuvre.

Top shout mate! Come lose your marbles in a field and your balls while your at it.

The American Astronaut - WOAH! Coming at you like a Cowboy Junkies gig in monochrome set in a bar in the wild west but with space ships. It's Sin City set in space and with imagination replacing a mega Hollywood budget. Somehow something's going to steal your carbon/10

10 mins in when his wife pulls up her kecks in the back of the car. Worth persevering?

Started to watch The Wailing and was disappointed so turned it off. Then watched The Company Men which is propaganda for capitalism. Affleck wanders around Boston whilst an oil engineering company machine gun redundancy packages to people who live in houses the size of a small hamlet. Costner appears blue collar, and to type is living life honest, dedicated and obedient. It's got Deakins' subtleties like reflections, lighting, colours that bling this corporate world into life more than it deserves. Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk

Hahahaha! Tracy Flick still lives. We are all just side shows to the main attraction. Beating off to the telly? Reminds me of a colleague I used to know in the NW of England, said that when he went home in the evening (we were doing overtime on a saturday), after opening the front door, he could hear the hum of a vibrator, he said it would be his wife with X-Factor on. I don't think I ever imparted such knowledge in return.

It's the show with the most apathy I've ever seen. Good concept though and the story is not quite as simple as goodies and baddies. That Greek Canadian bird from the 1st series needs to come back.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM2R Metroid 2 for GB remade for PC. Play it with a chinese knock off of your favourite retro pad. I use a Sega Saturn one.

True Detective let me down right at the end when it turns into Dumb and Dumber. The Expanse is back now, so will be watching that on Kodi over next few weeks. Thomas Jane's undercut has now gone, he now looks like he drinks in Brewdog.

Tainted by a comfortable sinecure to quote Robbie Bolano.

I had dysentry recently from SE Asia, the feeling now that everything is solid and I can now be a KEN master once more is hard to beat. Brothers in shit, oh yes.

LaneVisitor your soundtracks to the film are fannytastic by the way. Pure night contemplation muzak for geeks like me. -
Have you seen the film Salvador, Oliver Stone did before Platoon? Very low budget compared to Platoon. Quite horrific religious context sex scenes and mass genocide, also James Woods and James Belushi look like they are empathic all the way through. Also watch the making of doc as you get to hear what shooting a film in a country still experiencing a civil war is like. Anyone seen Life yet? Worth going to get my scifi balls licked?

Moonlight - come give a brother some love! And maybe some tears while your at it. Couple in a hole - companion piece to the Invitation - how grief is dealt with in Europe, we just leave our lives and go to live in the French Pyrenees, just ask Richard Stanley.

Infact the director's next film looks interesting XX - these short story compilations get me every time. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3322892/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_1

The Invitation - bloke and bird lose a son then seperate, bird invites him over to meet new fella two years later after they have been living in Mexico, sort of like Coherence but with added Cult rip off. The interesting thing is that the bloke from Prometheus is in in this one, and wait for it, he's not just a studio puppet and underplays the role rather well. Americansaresoforward/10

? the Bare Necessities song with Bhaloo? Jungle Book's my favourite Disney movie. More info here -> http://www.damnmagazine.net/2016/12/14/countering-the-classic/ was part of a collab with the gallery Print Room in Rotterdam.

Went to the IFFR in Rotterdam as a volunteer, had a film blowout, must have seen over 40 films, made me wonder how long film has left, I am not sure it will be the same in a few years as leisure habits change. Radical things I saw were Manifesto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifesto_(2015_film) - multi screen installation very original piece The Pure Necessity - reworking of a scene from the animated Jungle Book

Morrison's 4 for 6 of those english brexit sterlings. Lovely drop. Great touch with the new world as you can see where this comes from (APA).

Just put an intel wireless card in a relative's Intel NUC which I had been reading a lot about recently - very small form, quiet, good specs and upgradeable RAM. Put Windows 10 on then now typing this on the beast connected to a 1080p display. Gave up my job on Friday to go travelling for a bit and I am getting on a bit so it's a risk. Unemployable wandering hobo man In da house sounds alright to me.

I use Amazon Prime Video - quality is great 1080p, not yet 4k. In terms of content its slightly light compared to Netflix but its a great service bundled with all their other stuff. Watched Birdy tonight, Alan Parker's films have his look and trademark all over them. Sort of Peter Greenaway filming in the States. Accessible arthouse for the masses. Why go to war when you can project yourself astral like into the sky. Doesn't make it clear that MANY in war often use escapism to move themselves out of traumatic situations (see Kurt Vonnegut).
