:fuckyeah: 1, Historical with Violence/Action: Gladiator or Braveheart and both really. 2. Western: Tombstone 3. War: Full Metal Jacket 4. Mob: Goodfellas These are all fully vetted 5 star choices with actors who did not die before you were born and entertaining for even the most ardent movie hater...

:neat: Sparticus (based on a true story) Great Escape (based on a true story) True Grit (either version, frankly is great, as is the book, if you're interested) Go! On it. Will report back after each one. I’ll see if I can stream any of them on my flight to DC tomorrow. :fuckyeah: :popcorn:

This is not a bad thing, IMO.

Agreed. Especially growing up in our small town, there was so much open desert for me and my friends to explore. We’d ride our bikes all over, build forts, catch lizards/snakes.. it was great.

Like all this sort of thing was verboten on the tube at home? But you've been on your own for like, 15 years? Yes’th. Nothing rated R, and very few PG-13 movies were watched at home. Most of what was watched was Disney movies, stuff like The Sound of Music, my mom really liked all the Tom Hanks wit...

Well, what genre(s) do you like? For OG sword and sandal epics, Sparticus is 5/7 but Ben Hur has a bit of a :jesus: -y aspect which you might like. If you like war movies, Patton is indeed great, as Dirk said, but I'm also partial to Great Escape. Fantastic Steve McQueen movie that was also a true ...

Which ones have you seen?

Same question for you,

:( I’ll let you pick one and I’ll watch it. Well, what genre(s) do you like? For OG sword and sandal epics, Sparticus is 5/7 but Ben Hur has a bit of a :jesus: -y aspect which you might like.

And now I don’t care to spend time watching movies so the list will forever go mostly unwatched.

Thought of a few more.
Patton
Ben Hur
Sparticus

All I can say buying non public companies and then integrating them … which we have done 5+ times is an absolute shit show. Everyone ends up leaving and or pissed off Except for the upper echeclons of the purchased private company. Those guys are leaving.........but they are none too pissed off. Da...

I just read they halted construction of a factory in Georgia or somewhere down south.

This Lightning has been truly filled with :alpo: luck :fuckyeah: Kind of surprising the sound system sucks so hard, I feel like most of my American cars have had decent stereos. They all seem to cheap out on speakers, which is weird to me. Good speakers vs dirt cheap paper speakers is like <$100 mo...

Very :nice: and useful project! Don't take this :wrong: but how TF is :dat: a $2500 job? :wtf: Can't be $2k in labor... i've found everything is crazy expensive. lawn care, flowerbeds, misc work. Basically, no one is showing up to your house for under $1k. There is so much work out there for good q...

Also got to see the rock,

Forgot to at this. Well done.

If i recall he does aftermarket car part distributor? Kind of, he is in sales at WorldPac (World :plac: ?) which is a parts distributor. Pretty similar to what I do really, but the customers are auto shops instead of AV integrators. :notbad: Good for him. Hope it's working out well for him.

A few updates: On a whim, I checked Reddit while getting ready for work the other day. Someone posted on the Lightning subreddit that he discovered they opened the reservation list for the free Tesla Supercharger adapter. Saw it like 15 minutes after he posted it and signed up. Press release goes o...

How's Zil-dor doing?

Talked to him a bit about car stuff not long ago but not really anything more.

Hoping he's doing great.
