And real heads have backed the latest Judge Dredd film.
Its paced like a real comic, w/ no "charismatic" star, obligatory love tension for certain demographics, and cute/smart kid trope.
Seconded on the non-Stallone Dredd. Excellent future-noir style film. Wasn't great at the box-office so no plans for sequel :whycry:
Fixed!

But doesn't the wearing of the watch show they recognize the problem and are working to better themselves?
You mean like.....I know I have this punctuality problem so I just started wearing a watch this month to try to fix it?
Doubtful

I have a few Casio G-Shocks just because they tick the rare boxes of
a) looking good to me
b) require no fusks to be given vis-a-vis damage
c) not hella expensive
I draw the financial line there, as I have more pressing things to spunk grands on.
I see dudes flossing a watch like it's some flash motor.
Braying types.
They probably can't tell the time.

Yeah, I know the score. If you haven't been punctual by now, there's not much else to say.
Pet peeve: Arriving for a restaurant meet-up early or right on time and having to play the, Which name variation is the reservation under? game with the hostess.
b/w
I think it's paranoia but the new home screen/Apple Touch ID button on the iPhone 6 gives my thumb the sensation of a blood-sugar test pin prick. If it was cool or interesting to have the latest smart phone, that could qualify as a diabetes humblebrag.

I had the G-Shock with the manual BPM counter and, yes, with relative frequency used it at the club

If u hate Comic Books then there really is no "comic book movie" I could convince you to like.
Cause when I hear that im hearing disdain for spandex, secret identities, super-powers, over the top villains, etc...vs talkin head "comics".
A History of Violence graphic novel ("talkin head steez") was adapted by Cronenberg for the film.
The book's writer help build Judge Dredd which and comes from the same pocket as the V for Vendetta and other influential British comic book writers.
And real heads have backed the latest Judge Dredd film.

I wanna know if you like the original Terminator?
I recommend Blade 2.
Super-hero steez for folks that dont like comics.....Chronicle.
I forgot I liked 300
Perhaps I don't like superhero shit, altho I'm cool w/orig. Jack Nicholson Batman, recent Batmans, and Christopher Reeve Supermans. I'll investigate this "Chronicle"

Rock, are you suggesting I get a washboard? Which washboard might you recommend? Apparently old technologies are what I do!

-Has anyone ever read the comments section of any news article/youtube and not wanted to jump off a cliff? I think the ONLY time I read an enjoyable comments section was reading Science or Scientific American or something.
Rule #1 of the Internet: Never read the comments
--On the punctuality tip, it used to be that DJ time was bad (an hour late), but rapper time was worse (2+ hours late, if showing up at all). Now DJ time has become rapper time. I feel like I'm the only one who actually makes a point of showing up to things on time.
--Speaking of rappers, I was telling a friend about how ridiculously hard it is to get them to actually record vocals and asking if he ever had the same trouble. His response: "ALL THE TIME. Every single one of them. They have the easiest job in the world, and they still suck at it."
--The show Mulaney is a really odd case. It's got a bunch of funny people involved (John Mulaney, Nasim Pedrad, Elliott Gould, etc.), but it looks pretty dire. I really wonder what happened there. All those people must know that what they're putting on the air isn't funny. Did the show just get network-noted to death? Is this the best they could do given some other constraints they were working under? I want a behind-the-scenes account.
---I just celebrated 10 years at my company, and I'm terrified of losing my job. Is that just how things are nowadays?

Mulaney's funny, Nasim is funny. I gave it 5 fucking minutes. So awful. I was worried by commercials he was gonna try to duplicate Seinfeld. No danger o' dat. BTW, I'm pretty certain they even recycled the set from that awful "comedy" Dads as his set. It's sad/baffling when good comedians make bad shows. I'm starting to think that a great comedian is destined to make a bad TV show, and an eh comedian (Seinfeld, Chappelle) will make great shows.
-Does anyone like a restaurant that is BYOB? There's a good restaurant in my area that is BYOB. I've never B'd my OB, but the reason I mention it is for 2 reasons:
-The restaurant space is fucking tiny
-Because it's BYOB, people post up in there for HOURS! TAKING SELFIES AND PASSING HENNESSY BOTTLES. It's a tiny fucking restaurant. They're fucking losing money while these foos drink their own alcohol they brought in, it's ridackulous. Additionally, they have NO hostess and NO place to wait for a table other than in the doorway. Whatupwiddat, AMIRITE?!!

Salt Lick Barbeque in Driftwood is BYOB, but it's more along the lines of people bringing coolers full of beer to a country ranch setting.

Eating well at the Vietnamese spot, getting a good shine on with some quality booze, and walking out with a $20 check? Hells yeah. And the Italian spot in my hometown with the amazing fresh pasta accompanied by many bottles of decent wine without breaking the bank? I RIDE POR VIDA.

I would (probably) think it's great if the restaurant wasn't so fucking tiny! It logjams the restaurant with (no further) paying customers for HOURS. ABSURD. PLUS no one ever says "there'll be an X minute wait" cuz they don't know and they don't care.

S Vidal Sassoon enthusiast the one DB Cooper says I'm ridiculous for wanting to wear a watch. I don't like pulling my phone out and looking at the time, plus I think doing it with a wristwatch is classier. Speak on it motherbatches.
I still wear a watch and it even has the wrong time. I'm just used to the wrong time. I know it's 15 minutes fast. Will I fix it? No.
Is that a strategy to get to places earlier or on time? Or just how you wagonwheel?
I forget how it happened, but it's just stayed. No real reason. I actually probably use it mostly for the day and date.

Chappelle has some good standup specials. But it makes sense to me that solid stand ups don't always make great shows. It's a totally different medium and it doesn't always translate.

The repetition of the same talking points especially is disturbing. I get a good laugh out of people trolling science articles with "x millions of years ago" with "this was planted by Satan to test our faith" or "but the world is only 6,000 years old!", though.

*What motivates/motivated you to buy records?
A) Getting the specific record you wanted/listening to specific music
B) Listening for breakbeatraer
C) Having enough records to have a listening party with skinny jeaned friends
D) Going out and looking for stuff/Zen
E) Trying to come up like Donald Trump in Tha Record Game
F) Other
G) Combination, specify which ones
I'd say mine used to be B and D, but now I'm D, E, and F. I find looking at records to be very "zen," even if I don't find shit. And I like to travel and talk to interesting people.
-If you could fight one musician, past or present, who would it be and why?
Bob Dylan, because I hate his singing.
-Going off earlier Mulaney talk, have you ever played a song on a jukebox to torture people in a restaurant or bar, and if so, what was it? Use this for reference:
