Main Thread: Sequels Better Than the Original and General Discussion

Image
 Thanks to our mate Cam, we've got our new week's thread.  Sequels that were better than the originals. I admit, I went online to look this topic up, but after I did and saw some of the choices, I realized afterwards it wasn't as difficult of a subject to address as I originally thought and they made sense. Some of the movies listed were The Dark Knight, The Godfather Part II, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Dune: Part Two, Thor:Ragnarok, Logan, Spider-Man 2, Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Lethal Weapon 2, and Terminator 2. While I think Lethal Weapon 2 and Empire can be debatable (Return of the Jedi, imo, was the best of the original three), I can agree with the others.  The Dark Knight and Terminator 2 definitely were and are pretty obvious. I wasn't a big Terminator fan, but even not being a fan I could easily tell.  Thor:Ragnarok compared to the first two was definitely more fun. Logan was much better than the other solo Wolverine movies before it. I definitely agr...

OLD THREAD: War movies and general discussion

Image
 So this week we're gonna chat a bit about war movies.  I'll be focusing on U.S. War movies, but feel free to enlighten us with some good international (to 'Muricans) flicks.  To be honest, I haven't watched many war movies outside of Vietnam War ones.  Idk why I'm drawn to that one in particular, but I am.  Maybe it's the less industrial nature of it, the "earthier", more personal feel; it's hard to pinpoint or describe.  But I do know that when it comes to war movies tanks, missles, and fighter planes aren't my cup of tea. So I'll point out the obvious two right at the beginning.  Platoon and Full Metal Jacket.  Just really, really emotional movies that are classics of the Vietnam War genre.  There are also many others, such as We Were Soldiers, Apocalypse Now, Casualties of War, the Deer Hunter, Hamburger Hill, and even a classic comedy/drama in Good Morning, Vietnam.  There's also one called Tunnel Rats that I haven't seen yet t...

THE SPOILER ROOM......

Image
So.......   It's pretty simple.  If there are movies or shows you want to discuss but others may not have seen them yet, come in here to discuss them freely.  If you don't want to accidentally know about something being discussed in here, ask in the main thread.    And if you're discussing in here, just give the peeps a head's up if you would so they don't wander in and see something they don't want to know. Thanks, and go nuts!

OLD THREAD: Addictions and General Discussion

Image
 Well, this week is a bit of a somber topic.  That of additions. People have addictions to a vast array of different things.  Some fairly harmless for the most part, like a favorite food, or for positive vibes, or silly games like claw machines (as long as large sums of money aren't being dropped on them), and even things like coffee and nicotine (which can be life threatening, but usually over a long period of time).  Some addictions are more varying in scope and nature, and could be minor or major depending on the level one allows it to take over your lifestyle, such as sex, eating, gambling, shopping, porn, hoarding, and even gaming and social media.  Other substances can be more debilitating and not only affect a person's quality of life to a terrible degeee, but also sometimes ultimately end by paying the ultimate price, that of their own lives.  These normally consist of alcohol and drug abuse, but can also apply to things such as a dangerous level of...

OLD THREAD: Concerts! And General Discussion

Image
 Well it's time to talk about concerts. Concerts are a great way to experience your favorite bands live. Or even check out local bands you might be curious about. There are so many genres and venues that I couldn't possibly list them all.  But I'll start with going into some of my personal experiences. My first "official" arena concert was the Ozzy Retirement Sucks tour.  I went to a couple before that when I was a kid, but they were family things at smaller venues. The Beach Boys twice (one of which I got on an amp and acted like I was surfing real quick which they got a kick out of.  Shoulda got a meet and greet for it).  Another was a Blessid Union of Souls concert at college, but that was also a small show. Since then, I've seen everything from Wayne Newton (seriously) to Pam Tillis (bday gift for a gf at the time so I toughed it out), to Iron Maiden.  I've seen Kiss, Kittie, ICP, Sevendust, King Diamond twice (Voodoo and Abigail 2015 tours; Exodus was...

OLD THREAD: Conspiracy Theories and General Discussion

Image
 Well, it's time to throw on our tin foil hats and delve into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories usually involve some sort of outlandish explanation for some kind of situation or event.   A couple of official definitions are "a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators" and "a theory asserting that a secret of great importance is being kept from the public".  Area 51, 9-11 conspiracies, the moon landing being faked, the New World Order, the JFK assassination, Elvis faking his death, Plum Island, Oak Island, and the Illuminati are some of the more popular ones. However, some conspiracy theories have ended up being true, such as the Business Plot and Watergate.  This is a link to a list of 11 conspiracy theories that ended up being true.  https://history.howstuffworks.com/history-vs-myth/11-unbelievable-conspiracy-theories-that-were-actually-true.htm So what a...
