Rootsweb is going down the gurgler, Ancestry is just too big, for no more reason than having gobbled up RW and others. It does a have a good search, mind you, the best bits therewith unlocked after coins have been inserted in the slot. 😛
Missed that one, so a few good laughs in it is worth a watch. 🙂
Licence to Kill starts off by kicking the rather worn looking plot down the road with gusto, and makes like a standard C grade action film for the first 30 minutes at least. Does improve a bit, and some of the stunts are fabulous:
Although PG might be hiding a shiver or three, methinks the feet are well covered. 🙂
Watched Valérian et la Cité des mille planètes (excuse the French) the other night.
Should we ever mention that word “uneven”, some spectacular visuals, the basic plot line worked, but wanted beefing up, ditto for the leads, enjoyable enough not to turn it off half way through, as one might in the case of something really spectacular showing on the other FTA channels. These days, not a chance. 😛
The demise and crash of the large alien spacecraft – which precipitated the events of the movie – was done in a rather hurried fashion, so we’ll never know who the aliens were, the name/description of the ship, or how it could have destroyed an entire planet the way it did. Oh well.Anyway, back to comics, the movie was of course inspired by the well known and long running Valérian and Laureline sci-fi series from the sixties. So well known in fact, never got to read it. 😛
An obit for the artist is at downthetubes, and did you know any of the ten things Star Wars “borrowed” from the comic? The Peter Cushing likeness is – well – rather close. 😛Funny thing about this, we say nothing if things are fine, and become very loud if they are not.
Yep, video drivers updates used to be weird, MS preferred to handle them “automatically”, the video driver folk were always wont to find something to complain about WU, and in many cases, justifiably so. Things have settled somewhat since then. 🙂Tried a LiteSpeed modification, the above would work for a local setup, as corrected at BBPress.
Who wouldn’t climb many a mountain to see Benny Hill? There are plenty of memories of the show, this compilation came up first in Google.
The Phantom was on FTA tonight, it somehow doesn’t warrant a second viewing, notwithstanding it’s been that long, and the movie flunks out in a rather fun way.
On Portlandia, there’s a diagnosis of Early Onset Grumpiness:
Oh, and plugs and things for Outlets, bring them on, plug them in and let them out, as long as they aren’t too short!
Put a bird on the rest of ’em:
The larger crabs can double as mummies for extra effect – to be captured in action for a feature rich youtube video, no less! 🙂
Do you journey east or west for the best beaches?
Yay, Codeproject feed has returned, heralded by a marvellous gripe about Stupid Editor Lines & Symbols courtesy MS no less. 😛🙂 Yep, the EM waves make for a dial-up moondem on eternal handshake!
The Broodx are getting through to the DAS in the fibre-optic cables! Let’s check with them:
Well tonight the bubble on the forums landing page was at least a minute slower than the one in this forum topic. Hmmm, don’t think there was this particular problem with Cache Enabler, assuming the memory is reliable.
Can say with certainty there were no issues before any caching plugins bubbled up. 🙂The “read” bubble immediately dissipating within the forum thread after reading, but not in the main or root forums page points to an indication that at least something in there is off. 😛
Happening very often since the move to TPP, there is a tip here which offers a code fix for the theme’s function.php:
add_filter( ‘bbp_verify_nonce_request_url’, ‘my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url’, 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
return ‘http://localhost:8888’ . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];
}Might be worth investigating. 🙂
Not off the top, there’s a list of movie candidates at this forum, and here’s a bonus horror gag, try and coax ChatGPT et al to come up with a close match!
At present streaming Vienna Blood, had the impression it was released earlier than it was, very watchable, nothing in it (especially the wishy-washy, yet all too soapy sponging of the protagonists’ internal dramatics) to bowl the critics over, unfortunately.
Although La Brea got a good panning, there’s something about the threat/soap/hardcore aspect of the delivery that makes for good background noise. The application of “sc-fi” to the genre of the show won’t stick anywhere, except down the tube. 😛
Oh, and watched Zombieland through dinner tonight, thus not enjoying it quite as much as one should. 😛
Oh, and on FTA there was I Know What You Did Last Summer, engineered specifically and obviously for a setting up a franchise, so a bit formulaic. It so much wanted to be different than previous Slashers, too, so the plot suffers a little – yet holds a nice brew of shocks and surprises that are not conducive to excess froth at the mo’.Speaking of farts, one came up on the FTA news show regarding John Kerry at Dubai on Sunday:
The good articles are most likely behind a paywall, which means signing up to a subscription somewhere. Happy enough over here to pick up a mag in the newsagents and follow up on Google regarding anything that lights up. There’s always something somewhere for an enquiring mind.
As it so happens in such times as these (and with the silly season approaching), nothing feedwise has emerged from the usual sources like CodeProject, and the Youtube notifications have dried up as well. 🙁😛 Considering the density of the atmosphere, it’s amazing one can hear anything at all! They also have the sound of a meteoroid striking the planet’s surface and breaking up, … to this ear not quite as expected – wonder how big it was?
Good to know, how many base stations are there?
No, hoping it’s just a glitcho with hibernate, repeat occurrences will not be savoured at all!
Sounds like something on the contacts, can be a bit of moisture, or even insects or spiders, over here the old Sherwood RX-5502 has a bit of leakage which causes a crackle every time the TRS cord is pulled. 😛
Why a light – nice if they are dimmable nightlights, yuck otherwise.
Remember posting this spoof at AL, it was on again yesterday. 🙂Only a minute this time, so just doing nothing makes it get better? The object cache is supposed to boost BP some, if this is the cost, the surefire way to troubleshoot were to inactivate BP before reading an incoming reply. Assume it safe to do (as with Cleantalk) when plugin settings are usually preserved.
Down to about 3-5 minutes now, the change used to be immediate- perhaps something else broke.
Enjoyed those, the American accents give the characters a new dimension, don’t think the other recreations were quite as good.
Weird that the reviews are that mixed, one mentioning a clunky plot – go fig! And the “not to be confused with” redirect Psyco Ripper the wrestler, the original Psicosis was born later, and very popular in US wrestling shows back in the day.
Not many old movies on replay free to air these days, however they are playing some of the original Law & Order shows. The original and best, the pithy plots and witty dialogues tower over the productions in the the other L & O spinoffs, cementing it in as an all time classic of that genre.
The FTA channels over here have to be taken over by the streaming services, as it looks more and more as if they are set for transitioning to become 24/7 shopping channels, all ~20 of them. Someone help us please. 😛As it was my impression some of gaming houses that ran Magic, The Gathering were run by a bunch of creeps, never got into them, although Jyhad is a scream. Nowadays, there seems to be a set of more definitive rules in Pokémon, good if there is a venue nearby to try them out, otherwise surf online.. For my benefit at least, here’s a video on the basics:
Lobsters of the world: Vibrate and gyrate in this strange garden of stars:
Sky have a nice little collection of space sounds from NASA:
