Well done Netflix.

I just finished that one last night. IMHO, one of the best shows ever made.

It is easy a tie with Expanse as for most awesome scifi series. Rewatching Altered Carbon in the back ground today ... or maybe Expanse ...

Checking it.

I've seen a lot of people recommending that and when I looked at the description...

" only the poor have to die"

"you can live forever if you can afford it"








...you






hippy






motherfuckers.

Uh, not quite what it's about, dipshit. It's largely about wooden acting, Bladerunner-ripoff scenery and full frontal nudity.

The book's better. The TV series Hollywoodises a bunch of stuff, in the process making the storyline far less believable. And it's a storyline about brain transplants in spaaaace, so that's no small feat.

[ChenPengFi]

Ok, commie.
That sounds so much better.

The biggest change I noticed was the VR torture scene. For super obvious reasons. Old boy was tame next to reading that shit.

Altered Carbon seems to have borrowed one of the premises of this classic bomb.

Oh I love that film. It’s terrible and brilliant all in one, it’s worth watching to see Jagger being the campest bounty hunter ever and Hopkins’ mullet.

First 4 episodes of Altered Carbon watched. So far so good.

Well, I finally watched 8 Mile. Much disappoint. I was led to believe it would be a movie full of Epic Rap Battles in History. No such luck, I spent 90 minutes waiting to get to the only 3 rap battles that I've already watched on youtubz a billion times. Hey, Marshall, I don't care if your moms lives in a trailer and is fucking your high school bully. I want that piece of my life back. Fuck.

Everybody in bullshido.net, put your hands in the air like you've got a regret

Everybody in bullshido.net, put your hands in the air like you've got a regret

This Slim Shady
don't care your girl's no lady,
and your mom's not Marsha Brady
My rhymes will murder you
like I was Delbert Grady

The spit you shit
just really really sucks
like the movie Mighty Ducks
white boys can't rap!
go back to the Klan of Ku Klux

8 Mile stole my smile, my yarmulke, and made me a gentile
8 Mile stole my smile, my yarmulke, and made me a gentile

Yeah, that's right, Marshall Mathers
I can do off-beat shit
just like that lubricant slick
you rub up and down on your dick
until it lathers

I want my time back, bitch
I want money back, bitch
Refund it through Netflix
maybe they can
put something on that matters

8 Mile stole my smile, my yarmulke, and made me a gentile

Russian Sci Fi from the 70's.

I was thinking about it earlier. There is some amazing stuff. I remembering reading a bunch of english translations of Russian SciFi short stories in various scifi mags in the mid 80s. Good propaganda it helped create warmer feelings for the Russian Federation towards the end-ish of the Cold War, I was already hooked on science and space.

I have two of my favorites up lined up Solaris 1972 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(1972_film) The 2002 version is ... James Cameron and Jon Landau, and starring George Clooney and Natascha McElhone... so ... watch that if you want ... I guess ... it is ...not bad but bad but the OG version is butter. Then I wanna watch Stalker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_(1979_film) again. Not like in a row ... that would be like 7 hours of Long Format Russian Sci Fi. That isn't healthy. Break it up into one movie a viewing and use the intermissions cues.
