I haven't seen a single movie in the lot and I do not intend to.
Nor do I intend to watch the broadcast.
Mario C3bio will win Best Animated Short for "Dondi: The Little Man Who Isn't There".

It was a bit of a disappointment, consisting of little more than a 2 hour car chase.
The antagonists were quite good - Immortan Joe, The Human Calculator, and, of course The Bullet Farmer.

Just pretend it has nothing to do with the originals, because it doesn't. It just a different post-apocalyptic movie with a character also named Max. Then it's enjoyable.

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Clearly, Melissa Hairy-Paris wins, for her over-the-top histrionic-dramatic performance in:
I Had a TV Show Once, and Was Aggrieved ...
Text of nomination here:

The clinching homage:
"She is -- at best -- marginally talented for someone who performs on a national level. Even after four years on the job, her delivery, screen presence and interviewing style is decidedly awkward. Her judgment and analysis ... oftentimes laughable."

So I will read it, and not complain about it being a thread about something I don't give a fuck about. There really is an infinite list of such topics, when you stop to think about it, isn't there? Scarcely surprising that once in a while, a blogger hits upon one such, and no cause for whining at all.

I have often wondered just how much of an actor's performance was due to the actor and how much was because of the director and the writers.
After many, many hours of research, and at great expense, I've concluded that the actor's talent is an important part of the collaboration.

I will always have a soft spot for this movie. I worked with a guy years ago who was sort of like the Matt Damon character. Sort of.
Legitimate genius engineer who was also a pretty ordinary alcoholic. He could do his job better than most either hammered or hung over or both.
And he would never leave Southie. Not for money or love.

CO is heavier than air, so stand on a chair and if the shorter ones start to drop, then it's time to open a window. Also, if their lips are cherry red, it's a dead giveaway and probably too late anyway.
Seriously though, if you've had your heat on it may be just sinus headaches for the dry air. Just a thought.

No car idling in the garage? Gas-fired water heater has a sound connection to a clean chimney, and has a source of combustion air? Ditto for gas range? Modern homes are so airtight now that all gas appliances need an outside vent to bring in fresh air to feed the fire. Lacking such a vent, gas appliances will consume interior air, and draw down the interior pressure of the house to the point that flue gases get sucked back into the house. That, and the low pressure, lead to incomplete combustion which can emit carbon monoxide.

Whoa there! CO is slightly lighter than air, but close enough that it will readily mix. And completely odorless.

Yes, not deadly. You can be asphyxiated by CO2 if enough oxygen is excluded, but as it brings on the panting reflex, one usually knows something is wrong, and the need for fresh air is instinctive. CO sneaks up and kills you dead.
And, AFAIK, it's now a code requirement that there be CO detectors in all premises with combustion appliances. Even if not, it's a good idea, anyway, since they are no longer expensive.

I really don't know. After I posted, I thought to check myself, and went to Wiki, and they say that CO is slightly less dense than air, too. And if you have a faulty appliance leaking CO to your home, the flue gas containing CO will be warm, and therefore less dense than the air, anyway. Unless perhaps, they figure the flue gas is mostly CO2, with a few percent CO, and the mixed gas is still heavier than air. But the warmth might overcome that. There's also a lot of nitrogen in flue gases, as it was 80% of the air consumed in the fire.

What was wrong with The Martian?
Posted by: redbanzai at February 28, 2016 08:57 PM (NPofj)
In short, its just this episodic series of things going wrong and getting fixed with no suspense at all, none of it remotely plausible, and just the worst attempts at humor I've ever seen, with all these ridiculous PC tropes and then there's Matt Damon. Its just horrible. Actually I didn't watch the whole thing.
Posted by: disgusting oratory at February 28, 2016 09:04 PM (s6/4z)
What?
Are you insane?
I liked it. I thought the dialogue was good enough to keep me interested while the plot developed.
The acting was....okay. Not great, but maybe even solid.
And just because it was done before doesn't mean the plot wasn't interesting and fun.

1. Sump Pump (AC power)
2. Battery for back up during power failures.
3. Automatic switchover to battery.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at February 28, 2016 08:56 PM (Zu3d9)
I see two approaches:
1. A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) commonly used for desktop computers. But they don't help much in a prolonged outage, and might not work as expected if power failed, and the pump then tried to start later.
2. Twelve-volt sump pump, say a small boat bilge pump from a marine supply store, coupled to a 12 volt AGM battery, and a "maintainer" type battery charger. Probably cheaper than the first approach, too. Only drawback might be limited pumping capacity.

Adapted Screenplay: The Big Short. Great job on translating a non-fiction book about Wall Street finance into an enjoyable film. I nearly spit out my soda laughing when Margot Robbie appeared in a bubble bath to explain CDOs.
Director. Inarritu will probably win for The Revenant, but it should go to George Miller for Mad Max. I recently rewatched this on TV. Every shot is a masterpiece of visual and aural composition. Only a little CGI was used. If you told me several stuntmen got killed making it I'd believe you.

If you're still here, I made the salmon with brown sugar and mustard glaze for dinner bc I was craving seafood tonight after the post. It is the first recipe that I have tried from the food thread. Salmon isn't my favorite fish by far but it was on sale so that's what I bought and I had all the other ingredients on hand. Really, really good. Interesting blend of flavors. Thanks!

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at February 28, 2016 09:45 PM (AkOaV)
My understanding of an air-to-air heat exchanger is that it is functionally identical to the intercooler on a turbocharged car. Basically two isolated streams of air separated by a thin metal membrane, so that outgoing warm, but stale air from inside your house can transfer some of its heat content to the fresh, but cold air brought in from outside. The combustion air intake is a different thing altogether. It's OK for the incoming air to be cold, even bitterly cold, because it all goes into the firebox of the appliance in question.

Electric motors usually do suck a big current on startup, because at zero RPM, there is also zero "back EMF" to oppose the applied voltage. Some machinery now has "soft start" circuitry to alleviate this, but by no means all.
For CBD's needs, that pump at the Amazon link sounds like the cat's meow, to use as the default pump. Keep the old AC pump on hand to use during flood situations, if it has more capacity.

Haven't watched any of the Oscars but I'm guessing Bryan Cranston gets the nod for 'Trumbo', the heroic story of a talented Hollywood screenwriter blacklisted because he was knowingly acting as an agent of influence for a murderous, totalitarian state seeking global domination and the enslavement of humanity.

Normally I'd say that Redmayne would get it for playing a tranny, but he snagged the award last year.

Another huge favorite that I discovered last year on Netflix. I think I finished the first three seasons in two weeks. And I'm notoriously unwilling to pay for entertainment, but they didn't have it on Netflix then, so I was compelled to buy season 4 on Amazon Prime. Although I think the show was at its best when only the four main characters.
I'm really bummed that they only get half a season this year. I just finished watching all four seasons of Person of Interest.

Jim Caviezel. Nuff said.
It's one of my very favorites that I discovered just last year on Netflix. I think I watched the first three seasons in two weeks. I'm notoriously unwilling to pay for entertainment at home, but I felt compelled to buy season 4 on Amazon Prime because at the time they didn't have it on Netflix.
I'm really bummed that they only have half a season this year. Although the show was at its best when they were only four main characters.

"There are 3,000 women at school and your "statistic" says 600 of them are rape victims. Do you know how many rapes have been reported in the whole fucking town, University and residential areas, in the last three years in the aggregate? One."
There's a lot of raping left undone over there at school. Or unreported, I suppose. Totally bogus statistic.

I walked the red carpet once!
A bunch of friends went to LV to see We Will Rock You. Went to the Hard Rock Café, there was a red carpet for some MTV awards, nothing going on yet.
We left and went to the restaurant. Coming back all were ahead of me so I decided to enter on the red carpet. Well by this time it was roped off and I was walking into a big crowd expecting celebrities.
I just strolled on down and waved, carrying my tourist bag of purchases.
The best was our Brit friend was w/ my wife and when when Jules asked who was on the red carpet she told her...fxxx it's T!

Never watched either show.
I can only handle one show at a time, and 2 or 3 a year,max. In a good year.
Last year was a banner year for me: Daredevil, Person of Interest, then justified.
I have the feeling though that daredevil is going to suck this season.
I want to personally destroy the Karen Page chick. I find her so so annoying. And I just know she's going to get together with daredevil this season. I just know it. And it's killing me.
I don't think I'm even going to be able to watch it at all until I am assured that such an atrocity will not take place. Yes, I know she was his girlfriend in the comics, but dude, couldn't they have selected a less annoying person to portray her?

There was a movie called "Flight of the Phoenix" which starred Jimmy Stewart, about a cargo plane, with a few passengers aboard, that crash lands in a remote part of the Sahara desert. They take the wreck apart, and build a single-engine plane out of the pieces, and strap themselves on the wing, and Jimmy flies the contraption back to civilization.

"Dear Mister Cranston,
I wanted to write you this email - so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber - I take it we are both represented by UTA. Great agency.
I've just finished a marathon of watching 'BREAKING BAD' - from episode one of the First Season - to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.
I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!
Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen - ever.
I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I've sort of lost belief in anything really.
But this work of yours is spectacular - absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers, every department, casting, etc., managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.
From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.
If you ever get a chance to - would you pass on my admiration to everyone - Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada - everyone - everyone gave master classes of performance. The list is endless.
Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.
You and all the cast are the best actors I've ever seen.
That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It's almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.
Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.
Best regards,
Tony Hopkins."

What was your nephew's favorite part of Season One? When Kingpin slammed that guy's head in a car door until it decapitated him? Or when Daredevil stuck that knife into the nerve above that guy's eye to torture him for info? Or when that guy gets his head bashed in with a bowling ball?

I must say I was absolutely shocked that Sessions endorsed Trump, especially when he is all over the map on amnesty, but I did find it amusing that he started his endorsement by saying "we don't get everything we want" in a candidate.

Beyonce doesn't strike me as being super bright, but she sure knows how to latch on to something that she knows will help promote her career - going political w/the feminism and #BLM stuff is making all of the millennial SJW's burst with excitement. There have been so many articles/blog posts written about the relevance and nuance of all the costume details, choreography of her super bowl performance. She's Madonna 2.0.

I agree, the violence was over the top for the first few episodes and I wouldn't have continued with the show if they hadn't toned things down. But the violence bothers me more than the sex. One is more seductive and much more likely to influence him. That's just how I feel about it. But if they get back to the level of violence of the first few season 1 episodes, I won't be watching either.
