I'm looking forward to seeing Valerian at the cinema, I know it's not going to be great but it's going to be very pretty and entertaining because Luc Besson and that's currently all I require from sci-fi because the genre as a whole is trash.

I respect Howard Taylor's (author and artist of webcomic "Schlock Mercenary") opinion on movies, as he seems to have similar tastes to myself regarding SF/fantasy stuff.
He says that Valerian is beautiful, *but*.
Summary quote:
"Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets deserves top billing in a future season of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was only slightly less painful to watch than Cry Wilderness or Starcrash. It clears my Threshold of Disappointment, obviously, and does so with such aplomb that I almost feel like apologizing to Transformers: The Last Knight."

Ouch.

I recently streamed 13 Hours, the Benghazi movie. I enjoyed it even though it was a Michael Bay-Splosion film.

Bad opinions; I have plenty.

I was excited when I saw the trailer for that, until it got to the Michael Bay part, then I actively avoided it, because I hate what he's done to a part of my childhood.

On a related note, just saw the teaser for Pacific Rim 2. I'm in. Love my giant robots, just not Michael Bay.

Also, Stranger Things 2! And Death Note live action (will watch that one with my daughter - she loved the anime) and Marvel's Defenders on Netflix, and The Tick on Amazon Video,

Yes to these as well.

Even though I haven't bothered going to the theater for a movie in a while I may have to for some of these. Still want to see Baby Driver before it leaves theaters.

I'm straight up not expecting much from Valerian, only glorious visuals and weird poo poo so I'm good I think. The source material is very French so if it's even somewhat close I'll enjoy it. That said, didn't his Fifth Element get panned on release too?

Also bolded the poo poo I need to watch.

To be fair, he rebuilt a Vagabond Falcon and threw ridiculous money in it, while plotting to buy an autobox Plymouth Horizon, and fanboys over K-Cars. He's got weird tastes.

Actually bought it 2 months ago, but haven't posted about it because I simply haven't been able to do a whole lot with it. I'm hoping I'll have some time in the near future to actually have a crack at working on it.

The important thing is it is a genuine UK car, one of the 80 they officially imported 20 years ago, and it has an apparently genuine 35k on it. It's the rarest thing I'm likely to get hold of any time soon, so I kind of had to buy it when it cropped up.

Well, while I could import one as easily as most other stuff (and without having to tit about chopping it up like MCM did), that's exactly what makes this one interesting - it was sold new in the UK by Daihatsu themselves.

Another funny similarity with the Cappuccino: As well as being a UK-market official import of a kei car, they're both Japanese-named models with Italian names (Cuore means "heart", Avanzato means "advanced").

I assume that despite the low mileage it is actually broken in some way, hence the many years parked up?

Is it a 3 cyl? Tiny engines with turbos are awesome. :toot:

Today I have also been educated about Fiat wiring. They don't run an ignition switched ACC feed to the standard looking ISO plugs behind the head unit, only a permanent live. Then they sneak 2 CAN cables into the ISO connector inplace of some of the less useful wires and the Fiat head unit switches on and off with the ignition using those. So if you want to fit a different head unit you have to dig out an ACC feed from somewhere else to make it turn on and off properly.

drat it. I ran an ACC from the fag lighter and the stereo works perfectly..... until stop/start kicks in and the ACC drops briefly every time it restarts.

I've got one of those large capacitors that are supposed to stop interference somewhere. Gonna try adding that in there and hopefully it can keep the ACC feed up for long enough.

Looks like he finally realized how to pronounce 'kei' although he still gets docked for claiming the radiator is underneath the Acty. That's the condenser and he'd be hard pressed to flip a kei car even being as tall as it is. All the weight is down below and those tires are going to lose grip long before he flips.
