      Moved this topic, and turned it back on.
      The other settings we previously applied to it are still there, so should behave. πŸ™‚

        In Space, No One Can Eat Ice Cream

        Only Ice-Kream, a speciality available only from Killer Klown Konfectionary! Did see the film an awful long time ago – do have an eye out for the merch, a welcoming doormat is just the thing!

        Talking of quiz shows, there is no series 6 of Mastermind Australia (yet), consequently reruns have been placed in the usual time slot for the tragics looking for a kwik Kwiz fix.
        Mind you, to date no-one here has offered Mastermind Killer Klowns as their special subject of interest, and the same can be said of Hard Quiz. Guaranteed to change if there is ever a remake! πŸ™‚

          Yeah, the cover image/avatar got crunched somehow, they really should provide the option of sourcing the image from the Media Library. Some Admins may not care if the image they use has been sourced from a public repo.
          These posts do look somewhat squinched, apart from that, everything looks fine. πŸ™‚

            πŸ˜€ Draw the FuddGates! That man has to be held culpable for Fudding the landscape with wascally wabbits!

            Could have been a directorial ploy to grab the attention of certain patrons known to fall asleep in those dark, dank, smoky cinemas of yesteryear, because they have each borne witness to predictable plots and lifeless acting all before. Either that, or a directorial overdose of amphetamines, prompting a sudden desire to end the current plot and introduce new sets and characters as promotion for their next up and coming, but completely unrelated hit movies!

            Do faintly remember seeing this before, A_Fistful_of_Dollars, there is a solid Clint fanbase over here down under, so our hero is sure to rise on one channel as soon as he sets on another. The film is just about as brutal as any slasher, eclipsing the finer points of Leone’s styling, hence unable to dispel the dubiousness in Rotten Tomato’s rating of #8 in their top 100 Westerns. (Well, looking at that list, Wikipedia is out of date, as it is now #14, replaced by Unforgiven at #8).
            OTOH, there may not be more than around 20-30 westerns in that list worth seeing (again) in any case, which is testimony to the eternal critical dilemma, a “good” film may not always be an “enjoyable” one. πŸ˜›

              Funnily enough, the movie was originally entitled Rabbits.
              You know, Google yields no Rabbit World amusement park, there are games, RabbidsLand and Rabbit World though.
              Do watch for those Wabbits – could this be admitted as the main theme for the film?

              These days it may require some exertion to get one’s head around Empire Magazine’s ranking of The Long Good Friday as number 19 in the top 100 British films for all time. For me, top notch B-Grade. πŸ˜›
              If you ever wish to entertain any empathy for real estate salesmen, do not proceed to place GenGarry Glen Ross on the watchlist, but then you will miss out on the finest dialogue ever constructed from expletives and deletives alone. Recommended. πŸ™‚

                Beautiful! πŸ™‚ Sorry, post edited.

                Was it the remake you played? if one didn’t mind loading up from the CD packs, the original Homeworld would have run very well on the Windows 98/SE rig with the RAP-10 playing the OST. Don’t recall where the card ended up though, if it turns up, will post to H/W Relics. It cost a bit – must have been general compatibility issues by the mid to late naughties.

                  Another gotcha is is folding bikes were more popular, their parts would be cheaper to make and distribute. Do like the quick release system on bikes, it’s funny that idea was never successfully extended to heavier machinery e.g. wheels on cars. A quick release 20 ton backhoe. πŸ˜›

                  After watching reams of quiz shows and the like of the years, have eventually come to the conclusion the periodic table knowledge is on the fritz. These things will help a little:

                    Space Age Bachelor Pad music as it was known, or something. For many, Esquivel is an acquired taste, as with many morsels from Zappa, some will refuse to budge on their way through the digestive tract.

                      Schubert never did much with the walrus, not the same with the trout:

                      Too cold for the chickens to lay eggs and the grocer prices are currently insane and much higher than during the shortage a couple of years ago

                      Hmmm, winter is not quite over it seems. Here’s a take on an old tune to match:

                              Roadhouse had one good quote based on an old theme,- it was the occasion when Red West was asked a seemingly rhetorical question, he replied: Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick?.
                              Saw the first episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, it’s very good, though given the glowing reviews, did expect a little more in the graphics detail. The stories fill the 30 minute slot too well perhaps, and there was the novel experience of Roku coming through the Roku box. Have you seen it?
                              The aliens in Mars Attacks! were hilarious, the humans not so much, and the throwaway plot could have done with a brush up. It’s fair to say the new entrants to Mt. Rushmore are now etched permanently into memory!

                                Chrome tabs have memory usage now, there’s an explanation here. Get a feeling we’re moving towards the milestone of a dedicated Chrome memory stats summary page, as distinct from F12 memory which has specific memory info. For this page there is:

                                  Haven’t seen bitter melon down here, could get it to grow against the wall of the house on a trellis, being an annual vine it will require a fair complement of water and nutrient to get it fruiting though. πŸ™‚

                                    Neville Brand has certainly played many a villain, and Robert Englund, who can forget him? Got eyes on Sanitarium if and when the movie gets here. πŸ™‚
                                    Space Cowboys has not improved over time since the first viewing, in fact decidedly worse, so, despite the search for redeeming features and stellar cast, 5/10 at best.
                                    In Road House, Ben Gazzara played a cool villain, until he started blowing stuff up! The performances and singing at the venues entertained, including a version of Hoochie Coochie Man. Many years on, our star reviewers down under did not rate it well at all, with the extra site-endowed bonus of: after scrolling down that page while the video is playing, scrolling back up restarts it. πŸ˜›

                                        The tray on the A8 has two bays, one for micro SD and one for nano SIM. Came over with a mild turn of spook-a-loo after watching the video on how to convert a SIM to a nano SIM. These things are so small, you need HP Swiss tweezers and iris scissors as minimum! Copted out instead for the $5 punch out replacement kit from the friendly mobile co. πŸ™‚
                                        Oh, and the manual for the A8 only lists these models in the contents:

                                        SM-A530F
                                        SM-A530F/DS
                                        SM-A730F
                                        SM-A730F/DS

                                        My stature as the proud owner of this absolutely unsurpassable model has suddenly decreased from 10 foot tall to 3 foot squat! πŸ˜›

                                            Thought so originally, the main reason for thinking otherwise is that it’s in the stearnvault email account, which isn’t public. Will try the OneDrive thing later and see if it pops up again.
