There was discussion back here as to whether it could be classed as a mockumentary, perhaps it was intended as a documentary, but lines got blurred somehow in the making of it. Who knows – will have to see it. π
Natural Enemy is a bad film, bad in the sense that a well-rounded cast must needs be slotted into the square hole of a pretty vacant plot. Crummy dialog and action make for a rather generous RT rating of 39%. Quick snappy scene changes and alarming music do nothing special other than speed up the bad. The scene with Chris Robards and Jeremy Harper in the tub was the high point. π
Currently streaming I, Jack Wright, more for seniors perhaps, modest fare with a rather enticing storyline. πGot a link for those? There’s quite a bit of that stuff on Youtube as well as IA – just a simple matter of girding one’s trawling nets. π
The Little Things from a few years back, flows nicely along almost as a mood piece until something predictable or gawkish pops up in the plot of dialogue leading up to a rather nothing ending. Something about it speaks half-done, despite the excellent cast.
If you like movies centred on obnoxious individuals flying off the hinge, then pencil in Sympathy for the Devil (2023 film) for a quiet night. No hesitation for recommendation – especially when old disco numbers like the following juke up:
Not sure, CObjType might be a reference to CObj ?? records. From the WB readme:
(COBJ) Constructible Object β Skyrim and later
Which doesn’t make sense unless it had a previous alias. Is it possible to determine what’s using it?
MWSE references COBJmacros and GCOBJ
PQSORT is used in Daggerfall of all places, courtesy of Dave. πSorry, there’s too much on this hard disk (including old versions of VS etc). The move away from VS is understandable though, will get Meson loaded on the HP once the move downstairs is complete. π
Normally shy away from anything given a 13% rating from RT, the critics were a little kinder but still short on redeeming features.
Boogie Nights is unforgettable with laughs and licks-a-plenty, and worth a re-watch.
Streaming The Gulf, a basic boondocks police procedural with barely enough content to push the plot of the underlying theme through to its inevitable conclusion. In stark contrast, the theme is quite psychedelic:
Installed Eternium on the tablet, looks gorgeous. Apparently the in-game purchases aren’t a must have. Reviews on Steam are more mixed than on Google Play – for this one I clicked the like button and got:
Might be related to their handling of non-US accounts e.g. clicking the posted link from this Reddit thread requests a new login even if already logged in Chrome. Immediately after got this in an email:
t looks like you are trying to log in from a new device. Here is the Steam Guard code you need to access your account: …
The Steam Guard wasn’t called upon in Chrome however.

More adorable content for our landfills, can we ever get enough labubus?Cdialog looks as if it can do the job at least – haven’t got the toolchain setup for as yet. Doesn’t look as if it is invoked anywhere. Should be in the module which manages the click events for menus and/or buttons – has this always been the case?
The dialog is supposed to open when ID_SETACTIVE is clicked – hmmm this is a CListCtrl – e.g.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1462895/how-to-detect-a-clistctrl-selection-change
Try something like the following at this line:
m_FileList.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);Doesn’t look like the labels, types, relationships, milestones etc. are all out of bounds – no permissions to close an issue either.
Sounds good. π
Link over the module with file_open, and shall take a look. πDefinitely for the bin. π
Amassing a fine bunch of issues so it looks like priority labels are in order – cake – fruit cake – fruit cake with icing – fruit cake with icing and glacΓ© cherries … or such. πYou mean the vcxproj filter files – they’re for project file organization. If they are not custom filters, then safe to remove. To test, remove them and load the project in VS, hoping everything is where they should be. π
Yes, it’s happened again here. There were two identical bubble notifications for this thread, clicking one gets to the post, the other remains cemented on the bar:
You have 1 new reply to Duplicate Bubble Notification Woes from Spastic Hamburger
The url now directs to the top of this thread.
The expected behaviour is for other notifications to be working, while the acknowledgement of each one contributes to the count of the first.The bubble notifications to MWEdit had grown to 41, and as that thread hadn’t been updated for a while, the notifications count was being stacked with notifications from other threads as it were.
A solution was to purge the cache, delete all notifications on the user profile, go directly into Buddy Admin and disable notifications, purge cache again, re-enable notifications and they’re gone. For now at least. πThat’s using a new gui for the function, a much better idea than attempting to navigate Microsoft window acrobatics with their own software. π
Yeah, the disk floggings will continue unabated!
That’s a shame, but, well it’s been a long haul. Still use it through Wrye Bash for this iteration of Oblivion, will the archived version still work with the last masterlist?
Have you come across DxWnd – the idea of time stretching appeals. At the end of the comments there pops up our old compadre Hexaae, remember him? There was a big bust up at AFKMods back in 2013/14 when he departed in a huff, but now he has just returned to modding Oblivion Remastered. Well worth a look at some time. πYeah Corman’s The Masque of the Red Death is also worth a gander.
The ending in Calvary is disturbing, the motivations of the antagonist (IT Crowd’s O’ Dowd) just don’t add up, setting the movie off on a rather lop-sided course. The recipe of character types doesn’t really mix in well with the screenplay, yet it’s watchable given a bent towards the genre.
The twists and convolutions at the end of The Prestige didn’t agree with what had transpired, or no doubt something was missed from this viewpoint. A little heavy on story line elaborations, and something about the rhythm and delivery was off. And not enough Michael Caine!
Offered through the state channel’s website Long Weekend is an odd affair. It’s possible I’m the only one who has seen it within the last ten years. π
The channel also provides the screening of Irresistible, the bum RT ratings possibly due to a rather undigestible mix of morality and horror. A bit churned out, but the jumpy music and one or two good startles made it watchable. πThere’s also cropped up a recent issue (#2) with sndvol not going where it is supposed to.
Credentials stolen from an employee caused a breach at iiNet, good thing the account with them (and ozemail) was closed I guess. Everybody hurts om these cases, massive mailouts and a bunch of most likely pwned email addresses (like one of mine has been for years). πAbsolutely, it links onto others as well, the Abstract Bronze Seated Figure is striking.
Good idea for our own gardens is something like the Oversized Paint Tube Garden Installation or the Wheelbarrow Farmer Sculpture. Equipped with defence mechanisms in case passersby become abusive. π
The Lamp Post with an Umbrella idea has excellent practical purposes for rain, sunshine and dark, the Book-Shaped Benches may not accommodate for every posture though.
No doubt Google Maps et al have all these marked as features of interest, extending the license on the descriptions to Galoshopoodle, Oarsome Highrise, The Building that won’t Zip Up etc.Was thinking about the the CS, and CK where there’s a good 3D view on the terrain from any angle just about. π
Don’t think I’ve attempted anything like a 500gb download, ever. They would have to split it wouldn’t they?
Another pat on the back for another Tripeaks trophy:

Funny, as the game froze early on and consequently lost around 1:20 – which might have been significant if LULU5796 had a better line of focus. Mind you, this is a fairly ordinary score, most of the speedy Gonzalezes come in at the late thirties – even early thirties for the challenge. There is yet some ground to cover!Try The Jacket in Tubi, good cast including Craig, best to watch it without a clue of what it’s going to be about.
Same with Hard Eight really, it starts beautifully until the first shock, from which the film itself doesn’t quite recover.
I, Robot popped up again on FTA, the previous viewing had to be more than ten years so a recap was due. Rather surprised at the low RT rating, one gripe was the wooden acting. Well, not an issue here with Will Smith in fine fettle, providing more than enough pace and tension to compensate. And – er – what’s the issue with mechanical acting in a movie about robots? And a plotline made too intricate may detract from the point of the movie in any case. OTOH, it’s fair to say a rerun of the movie won’t be undertaken until most of the details have (again) left memory. π
Quantum of Solace is fairly standard Bond fare, the upside is the action scenes play at warp speed. πThe War of the Worlds radio broadcast was a hoot! π
You want the side-on section as opposed the top-down?
Have you checked out arcGIS, although things probably won’t work all that well without an account/subscription, same with Intermap
There’s also this elevation model, Tangrams looks interesting, but couldn’t extract much detail from the zoomed sections. Sorry not much else, this or this may contain something useful.
The Give Yourself Goosebumps series had branching endings in different parts of the book, funny it was never tried before – or was it?One giant leap for a cone – and 1.5 tonnes would make for some serious vibrations!
Strange happenings described as resulting from no other than a psychogenic effect. The spelling of busses led onto Mrs. Steven’s Classroom Blog. π -
