Veep (final season) - March 31
For some reason, my DVR recorded both the HBO and HBOL versions. I deleted the HBOL version a nanosecond before thinking, should have watched to see if it was overdubbed with Spanish. It might be even more hilarious that way.

Barry: new HBO show
Barry is a sociopath. He has no grip on what others might find important or emotional. He is trying to fit in but does not have the tools to successfully do so. He is a little different in that he is trying to become a "real boy". That leads to what we might call dickish behavior. You either love that about him or not. You can't waffle on it though. Much like watching a stand up comic that does a ton of "controversial" humor. You can't laugh when they make fun of everyone else but then when something hits close to home, hate on them for it.

Thanks to you and the others who gave advice. I will catch up to the rest of you in about a decade.

The Guitar Pron Thread
FWIW, I am not doing this to ever perform for others. I am now disabled, due to a blood clot I got in my leg(which blew out all the valves in my leg veins), where I have to put my feet up several times a day. I am just looking for something to keep me from going crazy and this seemed like something I could do while sitting, other than spending way too much time on here or other websites.

The Guitar Pron Thread
AC/DC, Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd(all of those, prefer the 70's versions), Metallica, Def Leppard, GNR, Tesla(my favorites from the 80's), STP, Nirvana(except Smells Like Teen Spirit) from the 90's, Foo Fighters from the aughts and teens. Then a few other groups like Drivin' N Cryin', Violent Femmes, Depeche Mode. Old country, by old I mean Hank Williams, Sr, Waylon, Willie, Cash. Currently, although I do not consider either really country, Isbell and Stapleton. If I had to pick only one, Zeppelin but I doubt I ever reach the level of playing remotely close to Page. AC/DC seems a little easier to attain at least a semblance of similarity and they would be my second choice.

The Guitar Pron Thread
Well, I finally joined the cult, not looking forward to the hazing. I bought my first ever guitar yesterday. I learned to play a couple of licks, back 30 years ago, on a friends rig. I got basically en entry setup, Squier Affinity Fender Stratocaster with 15W Fender amp. Now for tons and tons of practice to sound like a dying cat(an improvement over the first few hours of trying to learn one simple chord last night). It came with a month of free online lessons from Fender. I will use that but any good ideas for some free lessons? I know there are metric fucktons of videos on Youtube but I have no idea who is good at teaching an old dog like me, new tricks.

Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
I recall playing Infamous for the first time and feeling like you do on a sudden rollercoaster descent, when you first jump off a building. That video made me a little dizzy.

Alright olds, first movie you watched on VHS/BETA
It was either Jaws, The Jerk or If You Don't Stop It...You'll Go Blind, not sure which I watched first but watched all three soon after getting our first VCR in like '81.

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Based on that video still, before watching the trailer or reading up about the basic plot, I thought Pitt might be trying to play Robert Redford.

Also, that mall better be in a nearby larger city. No way a town their size had a double-decker mall. Hell, I doubt their town would have one at all.

“Us” - Jordan Peele
You know what I meant, the series as a whole. Sure, the first movie was serious, the rest are comedies.

Is anyone else a sucker for period pieces / historical dramas?
When the period is the 70's or 80's, hell yeah.

Is there something wrong with me, when that trailer gave me a boner?

“Us” - Jordan Peele
I saw Get Out on HBO and thought it was really good but I also think it was overhyped. I expect similar for this one. Will see it next year, when it hits HBO. FWIW, not much of a horror fan, except when humor is involved, a la Evil Dead and even some Freddie stuff. Also like a good psychological, but realistic horror flick. Friday the 13th type stuff just bores me, other than the gratuitous boobs.

Fun thread: your video game experience in college
None. I was too busy getting drunk, getting high or getting laid during college(wonder why I lost my scholarship). I owned an Atari 5200 as a kid, then the next system I owned was a PS1 like 10 years after college. I did play some Mike Tyson Punch-Out on a neighbor's NES, back when I spent the summers during the late years of elementary school in my dad's travel trailer(he worked in TN and during the summer, instead of him driving home for the weekend, me and my mom would spend them up there). Never played SEGA or SNES until after I finished all the rpgs on the PS1, PS2 and PS3, then went back and played all of the ones from them, on a emulator.

Concerts you are attending
Saw them a few years ago, opening for Def Leppard. They still have their voices and can still play their instruments at high levels. Was not a huge fan of theirs but did enjoy the show. For a 60 year old, Nancy was still good looking. She must let Ann eat all the food backstage.
