I'm in my 2nd house and both have been 1900-2100 sq ft -- not because that's what I wanted, but because that's what was available without requiring massive investments in updates or renovations. Both of our places were 4BR/2BA ... the first was because the area didn't have any smaller single...

I had high hopes for this, mostly because of Goggins. I shut if off after less than 15 minutes. It was awful. HBO is 0/2 this year as far as I'm concerned, I couldn't bring myself to watch ep 2 of Vinyl either, though I did at least make it through ep1. Cancelled my HBO Now account last night...

Perfect Dark (N64) Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast) Halo (Xbox) Half Life 2 (PC) World of Warcraft (PC) Bloodborne (PS4)

Sign me up! It's going to look terrible on my projector :biggrin:

My wife and I never could really get into S1. I just finally finished it this past weekend, and I don't think I'm going to even bother with S2. It just doesn't do it for us =/

$1500 for a couch, $800 for a refurb projector and a screen, $800 for a sub, $400 for a receiver, $1200-1400 for speakers, and that leaves $100 or so for a cheap projector mount and some speaker wire.

The Way -- 7/10 Who knew a movie about walking could be so entertaining? Certainly predictable and a little funny that a guy can just decide to hike hundreds of miles without any prep whatsoever, but it was kind of cool to watch the portrayed transformation of his character and the...

Preferably with her necklace still on...

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. -- 9/10 Really enjoyed this one. I always like it when I watch a movie with no idea who any of the actors/actresses are and end up totally surprised by it. On HBO Now, not sure if it's available elsewhere for streaming. Happy -- 6/10 Documentary on Netflix. It was...

I understood what happened prior to seeing the movie, but I still enjoyed the weird explanations. I thought it was kinda funny how whoever was giving the explanations had NOTHING to do with the actual movie. They were each there for their one short monologue and that was it. It was a way to...

Re: Castle If you like Nathan Fillion, it's worth watching. It's pretty formulaic with a series-long plot item that shows up every once and a while, but plenty of the episodes are standalone. IMO, it's at it's best with the quirky episodes involving theories of ghosts or aliens or some...

In 2 weeks of travel time, I wouldn't go to more than 3 cities, 4 at most. Anything more than that and your vacation is going to feel more like a chore than a vacation. If you want to see 5-6 cities, split it into two trips. Make Italy one trip and just go a 2nd time for Paris & Spain...

Making a Murderer -- 8/10 Finally got through this over the weekend ... and by that, I mean we'd watched the first episode a while back, and binged the other 9 episodes this weekend in place of being productive. According to Wikipedia the family was approached by filmmakers and not the other...

Pretty much. But I liked That 70s Show back when I was in high school, and The Ranch is basically That 70s Show without Kitty and a just-as-angry-but-yells-a-lot-less Red. /shrug

Woohoo! It's not the greatest show ever, and the laugh track is annoying, but it's good enough to keep me watching.
