We are watching church on tv today!!! Don't worry, its much longer but still just as boring.
  • Oh man I've been there and done that. I was in Utah one year with a full troupe of mormon college kids at Christmas when they do their huge meeting of the minds or whatever it is. They watched it on TV and were 100% transfixed. It was fascinating to watch as an outsider but also intensely boring all at the same time.

    What are some of your favorite smaller Sci-Fi Horror/psychological thriller stories/films?
  • I get your point and totally agree that direction isn't followed NEARLY often enough, but I personally find it to be open to interpretation whether what they encounter is truly "hell" in a biblical sense or just an alternate dimension that can be construed in such a way that anyone who's ever heard of the concept would define it as hell, and I prefer the latter at least in my own head.

    If you look at it through the lens of it not really being Hell Original (tm) it becomes almost Lovecraftian, given that everyone who comes into contact with the dimension loses their minds and that the ship itself gains a kind of sentience having just passed through it, but the comparison to Hellraiser is definitely valid given all we see of it is just wanton violence amongst the ship's original crew, so for all we know it could be straight up Satan driving the boat.

  • Listen, I like the idea of some blussy as much as the next guy, but not enough to go get my tailgate wrapped.

  • Typical ghost/demon etc supernatural films and even a lot of sci-fi horror are snoozefests in comparison to Event Horizon because this film really puts it all together on a scale that makes it horrific. It plays with the supernatural angle and actually even explains it in such a way that puts it closer to reality, and then compounds that horror with the crushing isolation, unfamiliarity and unknowability of space.

    I really wish there were more movies that got horror THIS RIGHT.

    This gets amplified x100 if you're in a cartoon
  • I had to go demonstrate what you're saying, and yes, 100% possible, but impressively bad situational awareness for sure. The science has been done, thank you for this hypothesis.

  • So real talk, was this guy trying to wipe with his pants UP? I'm desperately trying to figure out how you'd do this unintentionally.

    My 2000 NB1 I've been building for 5ish years. The engine's mostly stock but I've spent a lot of time on maximizing its cornering ability on a reasonable budget and removing weight where while retaining creature comforts like carpet and a radio. It's my third Miata and definitely my favorite! IMO, NBs are the sweet spot between power, complexity and daily-ability.

    Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
  • I used Brave on mobile for a full week about a year or so ago at the suggestion of a coworker before realizing it gave me nothing over Firefox and added the bizarre crypto angle to everything.

    This was during my (thankfully brief) crypto interest phase and I tried to see if I could accumulate any of the BAT coins the browser would give you for viewing ads...that never worked somehow so I accumulated zero, which was certainly one thing that led to me getting fed up with it and going back to Firefox.

    Beyond that, the interface was weird, it was prone to crashes, and it was generally a hassle. 100% flash-in-the-pan cash-grab effort.

  • By that logic, why does 535 look like more than 3/4s of 3397? Because it's not the easiest to show the accurate scale of 3397 versus 535 on an infographic and not have to figure out how to display a 12000x1500 pixel image in such a way you can still read it. It's not a conspiracy, just lame formatting. Chill.
