True friend(s), family that both have my back. That and I don’t have the means to move out at this time and I would if I could, but I’d likely stick in the local area. I grew up in Northern VA, I’d like to stick here.

I guess I worded it wrong. I don’t blame myself for this shit, never have. I’ve gotten used to this crap happening on a constant basis in my life now with the people I know and my loved ones.

It’s just getting on my nerves. Usually I’m the guy who doesn’t give a shit about 90% of the time and that last 10% lets out in private about shit like this or vent it out when I feel like it. This would be one of those circumstances.

I just watched ‘Children of Men’ and ‘Shutter Island’ back to back. I don’t think I’ve ever felt such a mix of extreme despair, rage, hatred, and sadness.

My Cold Steel Soul was not prepared for this.

#4803

Definitely among the best films of the past few years, those two, have them both on DVD.
If you haven’t seen Children of Men in the cinema, you’ve missed out.

#4804

meh, I usually just takes films as they come but I pretty much figured out Shutter island 15 minutes in, opinions are opinions and I thought it was ‘okay’

#4805

I figured it out from the trailer. It’s a stinking pile of meh.

#4806

Children of Men, however, is an excellent film and holds up rather well if you can overlook the fact that all of the British soldiers are using XM8s when the prototypes have been unused by all the major powers for years.

#4807

Children of Men is in my top 10.

#4808

i don’t remember when i figured it out, but i still thought the film was pretty great

imo its more about the character development than the actual plot twist at the end

#4809

No man the sole basis for quality of a movie is your ability to predict its ending.

#4810

i cant really remember shutter island super good but i feel like you were sorta expected to figure out what was going on and it sorta played the audience knowing against leo the protagonist not knowing to sorta make it all seem a little crazier with a kind of disassociation. when ben kinglsey reveals it all with the blackboard and everything its so weird and over the top cuz that moment of lucidity is in itself kinda surreal but from that point on youre suddenly on the same page as leo and the crazyness tension breaks.
its trying to be about deconstructing the crazy twist!! thriller genre by exploring the manipulative tricks used and shit or something. he goes back to crazyness at the end right?

#4811

yup, I thought there was some really interesting and engaging psychology in there

and yeah, he goes crazy again at the end, and it appears that it wasn’t his first breakthrough that failed to stick

it’s definitely better than inception imo

#4812

That’s not anything new. At least it’s not a P90.

I received two advertising emails from Amazon over the last two days:

“Xbox One Now Available for Pre-order”
“Pre-order the PS4 Console and Games”

Well played, Amazon.

#4817

My little brother is whining about how bad he thinks our computer is and he’s been begging my dad to get a new one. I’m gonna see if I can leverage them both into getting us a PS4.

#4818

Haven’t you learned anything from these forums? Screw buying a PC or console, just build a gaming rig!

#4819

This. Look for a Microcenter and an Advance 2000 somewhere in your area and compare prices and performance with different pieces of hardware. You can make a decent gaming rig for around $1k. “Decent” means lasting you up to 6 years or so until games get out of your hardware range again… Though that’s in Northern VA. I can’t say for anywhere else.

#4820

And can you play Playstation (1-4) games on that rig?
