Easy 9.

What I'd be curious about is to see people's thoughts on the sequels. I'm of the (seemingly) rare opinion that the first 4 films are all of a pretty similar caliber, even the 4th one which people largely hate for... reasons I've never quite been clear on.

They got worse and worse as they went along. 

6/10 was decently fun, never need to see it again.

I have to disagree. I think what Link said is exactly Holocaust Inversion -- it's equating Jews in the state of Israel as Nazis. Now, I fully support criticizing the policies of the Israeli government -- I may or may not disagree with the criticism, but I will always support someone's right to criticize those policies.  But explain to me how saying "The American administration is supporting its fellow longtime imperialist, and nobody dare oppose this because they're Hitler's victims. The propaganda is in the mouths of the oppressors." is not Holocaust Inversion? Again, it equates Israelis today as the new Nazis when they were once "Hitler's victims" -- this is absolutely Holocaust Inversion, just said in a more subtle way.

That is not what he did, you made an assumption and bridged a gap. Saying that someone can’t oppose someone because of an event in the past is not the same as saying that group is equivalent to the group that committed genocide against them.

When you stop spouting antisemitism, I will be more than happy to stop calling you out on it.

You two need to play nice.

 What you posted above about Holocaust Inversion is not what Link did in his post.

My favorite version is the live version played at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis every winter. For TV, I agree, Mickey is my favorite. Have watched it twice this season. 

Time to watch it again and show my little girl for the first time.

What are some of your favorite country you have come across?

For older stuff, big fan of Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Townes Van Zandt, John Anderson, Johnny Paycheck, and Willie Nelson. For newer stuff people like Tyler Childers, Arlo McKinley, Sturgill Simpson, 49 Winchester, Reckless Kelly and Turnpike Troubadours. 

I have an Audio Technica LP140XP and some simple powered speakers. Have about 2-3x as many records as this pic, heavy on the country (old outlaw and new non-radio variety) and Americana side of things with a bunch of classic rock albums handed down from my parents. This pic shows me spinning my favorite band of all time, Lucero. 

7-I watch it yearly. The end payoff is nice, it is a bit slow in the middle.

I showed my support for Ghost but I'd be surprised if it won.

2211 pick a turd between Ghost and Weekender

I saw the new Miyazaki/Ghibli movie last night, The Boy and the Heron. It was excellent. Quite an adventure.

Can’t wait to see it.

@doner24 showing off his leaf skills…

I’m not a coward, I don’t run away from a boomerang bro without letting him know who’s in charge.

feather controls like a brick thrown off a cliff.

I avoid getting yoshi. Big clunky sprite.

 

Feather takes skill, leaf is for noobs.

It was @Richardhead's suggestion, but my understanding is that you take something fast food, let's say a Big Mac, and make it yourself, maybe even try to improve on it.

These are popular in a Blackstone group I’m in and would fit the bill IMO. 
 

As much as I cook and grill, this is the first time I’ve ever made a grilled cheese. Kept it simple, white butter bread, fresh jalapeños and the best cheese made on earth, Bongards White American! Triangle cut because I’m not a savage.

I find it pretty humorous that Piranha II isn't voted as the worst. Take that, Avatar.

It’s because no one has seen it, it looks like the 2 people that have seen it have voted for it. 

I’ve seen everything other than Piranha 2. Favorite is Aliens, worst is Titanic, which isn’t awful, just a bit boring. 

9 it’s great

Seriously, anyone pestering him to sell it is a good way for him to disappear back into cyberspace. Give him some space, please.

He’s well versed in the high end NES market, he’s not going anywhere.
