@hobbitswife yeah, I read a review of the third film somewhere and they said it was basically a setup for the final film.
And of course, we have the prequel as well.
Hopefully they're no more actual Hunger Games to watch as I think that idea couldn't be used again. Fingers crossed it's all about the revolution. But you already know. 😆
@UKFilmNerd I do! It’s the better half of the book anyway. The prequel book is good, mostly. (I hate the end, it needed more chapters!) Haven’t seen how the film copes with it yet
Back in the 90s, when I bought the first Kerrang! compilation album, it contained a song called Control by Puddle of Mudd.
I took my boom box to Reading festival that year, and we used to sing that song out loud as it has a lyric that reads, “I love the way you smack my ass”
I bought their album based on that one song and really enjoyed it.
Now, over twenty years later, I'm listening to the rest of their work.
Brexit, harder to import/export. Cost of food going up.
Can't get a GP appointment.
Can't get a dentist appointment
NHS on verge of collapse.
Raw sewage in our rivers, lakes, and seas.
Cost of living crisis.
etc.
But no, it's all about immigrants, trans people and a labour woman who possibly didn't pay a £1.5k tax bill over ten years ago.
“A leading Tory Brexiteer says an election now would be “madness”. Why go when the Conservatives are 20 points behind in the polls, goes the thinking.”"
Well, seeing as you guys have royally fucked over the country, mainly for your own profit, and nothing works and is about to collapse, what do you think you could possibly do in six months to turn around 14 years of destruction?
The cpu_fan header is set to PWM to control the cooler fan speeds.
I just checked the NZXT CAM software that controls other fans and RGB. I've set that to Performance mode on the pump so it's at full power all the time.
I think that got it. 🤞
It's quite disconcerting trying to get things working and watching the CPU temp rising up to 80°c!
Good morning my mastodonian friends, it's Saturday!
Right, taking the youngest swimming in an hour, then I plan on using the rest of the day to build my Lego ECTO1.
No Letterboxd Friday from me as the recent activity includes film entries you've tinkered with. I've spent the last week getting my profile up to date with all my reviews.
Also, my blog received new reviews of Titan A.E., Rebel Moon: The Scargiver and Beowulf & Grendel. Perhaps something to accompany your morning coffee. 😊
Damn, gotta go to work. I just started writing my review of Scargiver and you know it's going to be another 1000 word epic with just three points to make.
@UKFilmNerd I actively avoid trailers whenever possible and stick to spoilerfree reviews instead.
I'm fine with knowing "there's more to it", but not knowing the specifics of it.
This push for maximizing profit over customer experience everywhere is deeply alienating to me and I'm glad that I'm not alone with that feeling. This is something that needs to go away ASAP.
@UKFilmNerd my first instinct would be to export the Excel list into a CSV format and whip up a script in Python or similar.
Maybe there's even a ready made script or app that works from the Commandline and can be fed the movie titles.
Sadly I don't have the time to write something myself right now. Sorry. 😔
