People kind of talked openly about things and in a lot of circles it was openly accepted that the left, hippies, were scum. Lifetime Democrats would even agree. There.was no need for friggin Twitter because people weren't pussies about discussing things like grown damn men.
And then it suddenly became the fact that all aspects of what any crazy leftist person said must be accepted and any push back and you were a nazi. This seemed to happen over night. I know it was three decades or more and planned for a good part of a century but the difference was so sharp and qick.
We can't talk with each other anymore. Have disagreements anymore. Society can't survive this way.

Posted by: garrett at October 14, 2020 09:08 PM (lX1aA)
Ten years ago little was in 1st grade.
I was chosen to appear as Santa Claus for the class Christmas Party. As in was on my way to school with a sack full of small presents I had purchased out of my own pocket for the kids, I received a call from one of the home room mothers asking if I could hold off 20 minutes from the scheduled arrival time.
"No problem", says I. So I stopped at a Walgreens and picked up a bag of chocolates and decided to pop in on the kindergarten class while I waited.
I entered the Kindergarten class and addressed the teacher by name and gave all the little kiddies a piece of chocolate and Ho Ho Ho'd and all of that.
I then went to the first grade building as rescheduled. Upon arrival the phone rang in the classroom and the teacher answered and got a startled look on her face.
"What? I don't know?" she said. Then, as if something had just occurred to her she said "Wait" and turned and looked at me. "Did you stop at the elementary class?"
"Yes" says I.
Returning to the phone she says "No. No. That was Little Clinger's dad. Okay." Hangs up.
She turns to me and says "They didn't know it was you and put the school on lockdown. They called the police, but they are calling them back."
And this is the story of how I was almost shot as a school intruder while dressed as Santa Claus.
* I later learned that the maintenance guys were summoned as well and they were both ex-Marines that carried on campus.

The wifey today confirmed this to be true -- she had NO IDEA of anything about Judge Barrett before this fiasco, and she now (likely along with millions of others nationwide) will have a very positive impression of our next Supreme Court Justice.

Made a bourbon based marinate for a couple of nice Ribeyes about an inch and a half thick. Let 'em sit in the fridge overnight. Then I made my first ever Cheesecake...peanut butter cheese cake and made my own whipped cream.
Cooked the steaks on the grill and although I consider myself to be quite good at grilling, wife said these were the best ones I ever grilled. And the cheesecake twernt bad either.

Heard Bill O'Reilly, who I used to like during the Bubba Administration, on Hannity's radio show today -- and even he's buying that Biden is "leading by 5 according to the most accurate polls."
I mean, come on man! Even if Trump wins the national vote because every large blue state will have twice as many votes for Quid Pro Joe as residents -- Trump is going to win the Electoral College by an even greater margin that 2016.

Amazon is refusing to allow the film to be sold on its platform, on the grounds that it does not meet Amazon's "content quality expectations."
Steele has a Ph.D. (in English), has won a National Book Critics Circle Award, and is a senior fellow at Stanford.
But his film isn't up to Amazon's "quality expectations." AYFKM?
Amazon's "expectations" are that everybody will toe the leftist line and repeat the lies about Brown that the race baiting MSM and all the race hustlers like Sharpton and Crump have been peddling for years now.
And if an actual black academic like Steele tries to correct the record and tell the truth about what happened, Amazon shuts him out.

I remembered that I owned one when I heard it hit $600. I forgot about it again until I heard it hit $10k. I haven't looked in a long time and I could just as easily lose whatever it's up to now, but I guess now I'm going to just let it sit there waiting for my kids to figure out what to do with it in 50 years after I'm long gone.

I traded in my 2005 Jeep for a 2011 Jeep.
I went on a little fall photo excursion through western Pennsylvania, and took some really nice pictures near Turkey City.
Attended a Japanese tea ceremony run by an incredibly hot Japanese professor at a somewhat-local university (I later asked her out and got shot down, ironically, on December 7th of that year.)
Went with some friends to see Black Label Society performing at Station Square in Pittsburgh. Zakk Wylde was awesome.

I can't imagine what I'm doing to them in 50 years if it turns into big money, but it's a windfall anyway so hopefully they can work it out if it is a positive thing.

She was the Numbero Uno call for blues keyboard players in London when she was recruited into FM. She's a monster player.

Admittedly, I favor the 1975-1987 variation of FM. But I blame my mother for that, who made damn sure her kids would not leave the house without an extensive knowledge of the FM albums from that time period. (To say my mother loves Stevie Nicks is a gross understatement.)
Christine McVie not only can play keyboard/piano, but she has a voice. She can definitely sing.

No, but Hooper, the director, did have a bunch of the CGI retouched a week after the release. Because a few more days of polish was going to convince people that that turd was just fine, I guess.
As far as I know, the butthole cut was never released publicly. It's just hidden evidence that everyone knows about that Tom Hooper is an insane person who should never be given $95 million for a movie ever again.

I did that with the promise I would get equity in the company, which, after 7 years, never happened.
Then partners blew up. They hired a couple young guys for MORE money than they were paying me.
I told them to pound sand.

Vanity Fair had a few articles about the buttholes, and from what I skimmed, some studio executives were shown an early butthole cut without warning, and literally wtf'd staffers into rewinding and replaying sections to be sure they really saw what they thought they'd seen.

However I did see Titanic. I was surrounded in the movie theater by teen girls crying when Leo bought the farm (amazing how long a guy suffering from hypothermia was able to talk). I giggled and got dirty looks from the sad girls.

I'll give Mr. Cameron that; the effort put into the movie was amazing. What I saw of it was horrible and absolutely reeked of a Socialist theme, though, and that ruined it for me.

I love those. I love that there are people who can make them convincingly, and the other videos where they take real clips and change the tone of the movie. IIRC there's a cute on of the Shining where it's maybe a rom-com or Hallmark Christmas Special or something similar.

I dated three different girls in the winter of 1990-1991 (not at the same time, of course). Every one of them wanted to see "Dances With Wolves." I sat through that damned movie three times over the course of about six weeks. Since then, movies have been off the menu for me when first-date ideas come up.

I so hate, with a passion, the following sentence when thinking of a first date:
"Take her to a movie."
One, I don't care for most movies (last one I saw in a theater was MCMXVII back in January) amd two, even if I did, the point of a first date is to see if she's worth talking to, if she can carry on a conversation with you; something typically frowned upon in most theaters.

another idea for a movie thread?
Editors cut vs normal version.
Just watched two Editor cuts, that were MUCH better than the original.
Tom Hanks 'That Thing That you Do'.... Music the same, but explains a lot of background stuff.
'Kingdom of Heaven' which adds TWO subplots that make the main plot more understandable.

Yeah, Kingdom of Heaven is widely regarded as one of the Director's Cuts that improves the movie the most.
Fox thought they were buying an adventure movie, but Scott and his writer were trying to make a David Lean epic set in the Crusades.
Cutting an hour out of it made it harder to understand and thinner. The Director's Cut is one of his finest movies.

Yeah, when I first saw that whole scene, I was hoping for a JAWS moment.

I would have been laughing hysterically. (But then, my sense of humor is warped. I never laughed harder in a theater than when I saw Marvin get his head blown off in Pulp Fiction. But admittedly, the entire theater did to the point where we couldn't hear the rest of the dialogue!)

I've read that there's a completely new scan designed for 4K supervised by Peter Jackson. It could be a significant improvement. But $90 for a movie I already own is wasteful at the same time.

I've seen it as low as $68 I think. Blu-Ray.com does a good job of price hunting, and I imagine there will be some holiday sale for it somewhere.
Though I totally get not wanting to buy just to upgrade.
Though "get" has its limits. I'm not sure how many times now I've bought the Evil Dead trilogy...

I bought the Blu-ray set for about $40, but the 4K is on pre-order now and at $90, or $130-150 for the gift set.

Evil Dead, the Musical.
Performed by a local theatre group. They nailed it.

How did they do the Ram-O-Cam or the 2x4 cam in the woods thing? If they got those right for the audience, that would be awesome.

We should have colonized it rather than fuck around half-assed for about eight years under Obama.

They can all be attending a TED talk in the grand ballroom when the iceberg hits. And they can't be rescued because the lifeboats are computerized - by Microsoft - and they get an error reading on the control panels. They can't figure out how to manually row boats so all the techies die.
It would be the best comedy ever.

I get that a lot
was never much of a sci-fi fan, but I like the original trilogy
I'm more crime flicks and cold war spy stuff, war movies, historical epics

So's a red-hot needle in your dickhole.
A lot of people remember their 20s fondly. Not so much for me. All my own doing, of course, but still shitty. I also had to arrange for the last half of them to be during Obama's wreck of an economy. Fuck all of that.
I will say that I'm probably one of the few people who left his administration better off than when it began, though.

We'd probably have a few ski resorts there had we done that.
I NEED to see that side of CO. I lived there for a time growing up and never got west of the Eisenhower Tunnel. I've seen much more of the eastern third of CO.

But it blew chunks. Titanic sucked, too. The last two film I saw in a theater were Miyazaki's Spirited Away, and Pacific Rim. Loved both films. But I've been accused of having rather odd taste in movies.

Gee that was the early Obama administration, and the beginning of the Tea Party.
Almost precisely tens years ago to this very day, I wrote one of my personal all-time favorite zombietime posts:
http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=1644
The Electric Tea Party Acid Test: memo to America's hippies
In this essay, I posit that the Tea Partiers were not merely the spiritual inheritors of the "counter-cultiure" of the 1960s -- i.e. those who fought against the Powers That Be -- but that are in fact the same exact people.
"This is a memo to America's hippies:
Tea Party values are hippie values.
You heard me right. The Tea Party is the one social movement in contemporary America that can rightfully claim to be the ideological heir to the original hippie movement that started in the mid-'60s. And because of this, all current hippies and ex-hippies should support the Tea Party, and by extension Tea Party candidates.
I'd like to have a private heart-to-heart talk with my fellow hippies here, so can the rest of you please stop reading now and leave us alone for a while? Thanks."
It was in this essay that I unveiled "the REAL political spectrum," which I still think is the best-ever political spectrum graphic ever made:
http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/wp-content/ images2010/politicalspectrum.jpg
It's quite a long essay, worthy of a PhD or being published as a book. But even though it was specifically about the 2010 environment of Tea Party vs. Obama, it is in fact still totally applicable today if you change the protagonists to Trump voters vs. Antifa/BLM//woke" corporate culture.

and 575 American Kestrel.
Eventually, I sold the house (at a huge, and I mean HUGE loss - I"m still writing it off). Then I broke up with the sociopath (it was a long, painful hassle because he kept trying to weasel back in for years.) And more recently I found steady (fingers crossed) work, too.
It's taken me about this long - ten years - to start feeling normal again, although after that last one I"m pretty much done with relationships. But then we got the pandemic so nobody's dating, so that works out.

I was 2 months from being completely broke and having to abandon my house and go back home to Chicago to beg family to take me in.
I had gone through all the unemployment insurance for which I was qualified, gone through all my savings and even gone through all my 401(k) in order to stay afloat.
I was 4 months from losing my house to foreclosure.
I was stressed, depressed, felt completely emasculated and hopeless.
I was 34 years old and felt like my life was over and I had no control over any of it.
But 2 months later, in December of 2010, weeks from being broke, I landed a job (which I still have today) in my area of expertise. An even better job from which I had been laid off 2 years prior.
But OCT-NOV 2010 was the absolute worst and lowest time of my life.
