Just watched it and did a review in my other comment on this post. It’s not my type of movie, none of the Saws really are, but I thought it was alright and felt like a good addition to the Saw-iverse .
Just watched it and did a review in my other comment on this post. It’s not my type of movie, none of the Saws really are, but I thought it was alright and felt like a good addition to the Saw-iverse .
Reporting back, just finished watching the movie.
I’ll start by saying I like horror movies in general, but not really the torture stuff like Saw or The Collection and things like that, hence why I’ve seen Saw 1, 2, and maybe 5 and that’s it.
I do enjoy the basic premise where he only goes after people that have it coming as far as movie victims go, and that he gives them a bit of a chance to survive, especially if they would just stop being assholes for a minute.
This movie felt like what I remember if the early saw movies. I think watching the TS version may have helped a little, reducing the video quality to make it feel even more vintage, but it was fine for my viewing given my overall interest level.
I could recognize the main cast of characters, but even if I didn’t, it fills you in on all you need to know, so it can definitely stand on its own.
The traps did all seem pretty original ish. Since there’s nothing new plot wise here, it’s still you have X minutes to free yourself painfully or you die. As far as are these things you could make yourself from Home Depot parts, maybe one or 2 of them, but they’re still a bit out there, but better than I remember some stuff being in other movies.
Overall, I think if you enjoy this type of movie you should give it a shot. If you don’t like them at all, it’s not going to win you over. It still made be feel queasy and uncomfortable in a not pleasant way. I feel the traps are still pretty unfair and sadistic and are more revengey than teachy, but that’s just me. But if you like the originals and fell off the series somewhere, you can watch this no problem.
Maybe I’ll check this out. I’ve only seen 3 of them, but the back to basics formula makes it sound like it might be ok.
Very valid points. I forgot WordPad existed and I use Notepad way more than I’ve ever used WordPad. But many people still havent really used computers much in depth beyond specific things they’ve been shown.
I know I could just use Google Docs or throw LibreOffice in there, but many people now in retirement age have still managed to dodge learning much about computers.
If you deliver a new computer that can’t type a letter, send an email, and play YouTube out of the box, that seems like a fail. And I feel many that won’t know what do do without something like WordPad also may not have an Internet connection, nor should they have to if they just need a presentable looking doc.
Trying to reinvigorate !superbowl@lemmy.world and !anime@lemmy.ml .
SuperbOwl migrated from Reddit but nobody was doing anything with it. I try to post at least one owl a day. Currently I’m posting one owl rescue a day for each US state so people can visit and support them in person. Today is #11, Hawaii.
Anime communities seem so dead in Lemmy. There was finally an active thread last weekend, so I wanted to try to start another one this weekend.
Interesting subject matter, but the article read like a transcript of a Tik Tok video with the robot voiceover.
Also study size was 8.
I’ve seen a few sources saying she’s been dealing with lung cancer the last few years and that’s she died of complications from that, but I’ve never heard of any of the sites before, so I won’t vouch for how reliable that info is, but that’s all I can turn up.
I don’t block too many things, because there can occasionally be news related to a topic I have no interest in that is still interesting. Like I have no interest in sports, but if there’s something big like a scandal or arrest or some great play it mistakes, it’s fun to catch that stuff.
The main things I outright block are anything NSFW that is definitely not for me, but mostly it’s just about all of the meme communities. The amount of material those groups churn out is overwhelming and so many just seem so low effort. Things like programming humor generally don’t bother me much, but most are just meh.
Dang, with her and Bob Barker, my inner child is taking a beating this week. The premiere of The Animated Series is one of my clearest childhood memories, waiting for it to start and that theme kicks in. It always amazes me she was meant to be a that character and now she’s such a big part of DC.
I feel this is one of those things that is the end of an era. The Price is Right with Bob Barker always reminds me of afternoons at my grandparents’ house, and I’m sure it does for a lot of people in my age bracket. He also seemed to be a genuinely nice person. It was always good to hear her was still alive and doing things, and it helped keep that little slice of childhood alive.
Pipe down and watch the picture!
Oh that is cool. I thought it had an ending but I lost a lot of plot points between seasons which is probably why I have no idea what happened after season 1. I’m good with a graphic novel to wrap it up.
Now I just need someone to finish Infinity Train!
That is pretty awesome. I clicked through to the Instagram and there are some cool builds pics that somewhat show how it works.
Perfect guitar for that band. Next version needs to shoot sparks!
I haven’t decided if it’s any better yet. I’m pretty far left, but radicals on both extremes get pretty weird. At least it’s different propaganda!
Top for me have to be the combo of Aniyomi and WVC.
Aniyomi is a Tachiyomi fork that adds anime extensions. Tachi is great as is, but after Anyme shut down, I needed something to watch and track anime with MAL integration. Plus if you read manga, I’d assume you watch anime too. App and extensions receive regular updates.
WVC aka Web Video Caster. Chromecast any video. I have watched soooooo much stuff on my TV through this. Great controls and features, frequent updates, and they’re on Reddit to talk to directly if you have issues or feature requests. Great team of people and wonderful app. First premium app I bought.
Bring! is a close third. Works on Android and iOS so me and SO can both share a shopping list every since Google screwed theirs up. Was great when Google Assistant was linked to it, but Google broke that too. Still a great app though. We get notifications when the other person adds an item in case one of us is running errands already.
Don’t bury the lede! One outright called it a hoax.
“I’m the only candidate on stage who isn’t bought and paid for, so I can say this,” Ramaswamy said, though he caught some shade. “Climate change is a hoax … The reality is more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change.”
Hah, I do remember hearing something like that about one of the conservative forums last month. I think Teddy Roosevelt would approve.
Oh that is awesome! I don’t follow game news much, I tend to stick mostly to a few franchises and just follow them, but I love RoboCop!
I just watched the short trailer,not the 16 minute one, but was so happy to see they got Peter to be Robo, and it looked like the original Louis and maybe the sergeant as well, it was to quick a scene for me to tell. I hope there are other cameos. It’s too bad the OCP CEO died, he was so great in that role.
I should go back and rewatch this. I really enjoyed the first season, but then I know I watched the rest but couldn’t tell you what all happened.
I started using James Hoffman’s tip of rinsing off a spoon, shaking the water off, and then stirring your beans before grinding them.
Then I started taking a single bean and quick passing it under the faucet before tossing it in with the rest and shaking it around.
Now I just have a small spray bottle I repurposed. All methods are equally simple and get the job done to keep grinds from sticking to my Encore’s hopper.
Like others have said, it’s more subtle then slightest touch of humidity rather than actually getting anything wet.
