Tarp put on. The vents were busted so they patched and tarped them for now and eventually gonna replace the roof. It was storming right as they finished so I was able to go inside and saw no more water was getting in. Yesterday my wife said it was coming out by the stove like a faucet when it rained. I'll get the insurance assessor to check the foundation when he comes out. I live in lake charles which took a direct hit. The city looks like a war zone. 97 percent of the parish school facilities have catastrophic damage. All in all I made out ok. And my family is safe which is most important

the plague that never ends movie list part 9 or 10, or, a forums survey: Saved By The Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas - this movie is really bad. Zack and Kelly get married at 19 years old. AC Slater is a sexual predator. do we have any people who married early on this forum? Die Hard - this movie is so cool. Bruce Willis looks like a little kid in this. do you remember when terrorists were multi-ethnic? do we have any New York cops or terrorists on this forum? M*A*S*H - this movie kinda sucks. all the men in this are gross pigs. they keep sexually harassing a woman for no good reason. i guess it's because war is hell, or something. there is no plot, and the film ends with a 30 minute football game sequence. avoid. do we have any army surgeons on the forum? Who Framed Roger Rabbit - this is a technological masterpiece. the animation in this is great, and was done by that animator who that one goon was obsessed with. old goons know who i'm talking about. as i watched i kept thinking about all the love and care that had to go into making this film, and how something like this will never be made again. now they just use a computer to plop in Jar Jar Binks. this is why western civilization is collapsing: our art is no longer made with love, but with computers. do we have any animators or toons on this forum? Lost Highway - what the heck is this baloney. i hated this. David Lynch, what the heck. do we have anyone who can defend this film on this forum? Showgirls - now this, this is a masterpiece. Paul Verhoeven is the real genius, not David Lynch. this movie is visually stunning, full of energy, and is fun to watch. everything looks so pretty. is that the cinematography? i don't know, i only took two film classes in college. everyone who tells you this film is bad is lying to you. do we have any strippers on this forum? Brotherly Love – Peter O'Toole is an upper class twit who used to have sex with his sister, Susannah York. now his sister is married and they spend their days running a dilapidated dairy farm and being obnoxiously cute around his sister's husband. this is a really weird movie that i had to watch because of the random roulette thing that i do. i had to buy this weird incest movie on dvd, it is not available to stream anywhere, and i couldn't even find a place to pirate it. Mr. O'Toole gives a very good performance as a weird rich guy that never had to work and had weird parents who didn't care that their kids were loving. the brother and sister never kiss or have sex on screen, unfortunately. i'd recommend watching this film for various reasons i won't specify. do we have any upper class twits, dairy farmers, or people who've slept with their siblings on this forum? Cobra Verde – Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski team up one last time to take on the slave trade. a lot of nice, documentary-like shots in this. i appreciated the army of topless African amazons. Ghana is a really beautiful place, and not just because of all the beautiful, bare-breasted warrior women. the dubbing in this is atrocious, but who cares. do we have anyone from Ghana, or any slave traders in this forum? Ace in the Hole – this film from 1951 explores how the media amplifies bad news in order to generate more of a profit. i'm glad society learned a lesson from this film, and that the news media is no longer like that. do we have anyone trapped in a cave on this forum? Jackie Brown – Pam Grier is fine. goddamn. good lord. i basically act like Robert DeNiro's character in real life. Ms. Grier, do you post here on this forum? please send me a private message if you do. Leviathan – this is an experimental documentary about a fishing vessel off the coast of New England. it is shot like a Nine Inch Nails video. this is on criterion channel until the end of the month. if you like weird visually engaging documentaries about fish processing, you should definitely check this out. do we have any professional fishermen, or atlantic cod on this forum?

Until Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Jackie Brown was my favorite Tarantino film. It marks a real crossroads in his career where his name didn't have to have been synonymous with a very particular type of ultra-violent crassness (though to be fair his dialogue has always been the real selling point of his films for me), the fact he worked off an Elmore Leonard script but avoided a lot of the style you'd expect from Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction really made the film stand out to me, but apparently people really disliked it/wanted the same old thing they'd previous seen so he doubled down on what brought him to the dance for Kill Bill. Plus it's one of the few times in "modern" (it's over 20 years old now!) film that DeNiro played a loving idiot loser moron, and I loving loved that. I can't think of anything past Mean Streets or Hey Mom! where DeNiro let himself be a loser like that.

Edit-I really need to give Once Upon A Time in Hollywood another shot. I was really bored by it the first time because it felt like a predictable culmination of his last 10 years.

The "romance" between Forster and Grier in that film is so loving beautiful too, especially their final parting.

Still gotta watch Jackie Brown, it's one of my biggest blind spots. OUATIH is a favorite tho, it's my current comfort movie. It's okay to say Mash sucks, it does. I just like it, probably because my dad likes it. Weird how stuff like that happens. Mean Streets is great

It blows my mind that Mean Streets was made so early in Scorcese's career, it's so loving good. I think this Scorcese fellow might have a future in the business!

I need to rewatch Jackie Brown. I remember liking it when I watched it the first time a million years ago after being told it wasn't very good. That was probably because of the reasons J-Ru was saying.

i loved mash the series as a teenager and when i first saw the movie I thought it was loving garbage. i've warmed up to it a bit but not much. apparently it's the first major motion picture to use the word gently caress so it's got that going for it

So I don't remember if I posted about it the first time in this much detail, but I have a condition called BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) which basically means totally at random these crystals that sit in everyone's inner ear can decide to displace themselves in mine, making me prone to bouts of vertigo largely tied to certain head movements. It generally resolves itself in days, sometimes longer, and even if I was still going through an episode, I'd be able to generally go about my business, it just makes me feel sorta gross more than anything. I had my first ever flare-up the weekend of July 4, was diagnosed, then it decided to crop up again yesterday morning (as in like, 1 a.m. Friday). Just keep your fingers crossed for me it goes away like last time y'all, because it's not the worst thing in the world but your body just can't decide how it feels for a while and god it's annoying. There are things you can do to fix it sooner but it basically involves forcibly invoking the reaction for like, 15-20 minutes and I'd really rather not do that if I can help it. Vertigo sucks rear end really bad, but I'm also not like, super sick. At the same time, I feel gross enough that I feel...old? And vulnerable? I think that's the best way to describe it? I just want it to go away. I hate it. I just want to feel like myself again. Logically I know my body is not irrevocably broken but in the moment I can't help but be afraid that I'll always feel like this. Ugh.

I only get vertigo when I'm concussed and it is The Worst™️. I usually just end up crawling around the house because standing will just make me puke. I had a bout that was nearly 2 weeks long when a baseball exploded my forehead, I was about ready to just jump out a window by the time it finally started dying down because gently caress me did it suck. Big props to ya Foochs that's an endurance challenge for sure.

jesus WEP posted:That sounds rough as hell foochs, god drat BPPV just kinda is what it is. Sometimes people only get it once, sometimes they periodically get it over a year or two, sometimes it's a lifelong thing that periodically crops up. There's no way for me to really know other than what I know. All I know is it's not degenerative and isn't an indicator of any more severe health issues. Some BPPV has a root cause i.e. head trauma, but others are idiopathic, as mine is. Spiderdrake posted:I had a similar experience with thankfully temporary tinnitus which is probably much less scary. But it was really hard to express to people that there was this terror grabbing my chest I would never get better and it would just constantly get worse, which I think is what you're expressing? Like rationally I was fine but my stress levels rocketed to insanity. It took months to get over it completely but later the return to normality made later episodes less and less worrisome. It came and went for much of 2016. That's pretty much exactly it, yes. Same deal. Like, the first time I had the flareup of BPPV, I literally almost puked the first couple of times and it felt like the entire room was spinning, I'd break into a flop sweat, the whole nine. Also I get nasty-rear end nystagmus for say, 15 seconds or so when I get a full on attack (nystagmus is basically your eyes deciding to lose their poo poo; to me it just seems like my vision blurring but according to my mom my eyes move like loving crazy as it's happening and then they stop). Problem is, even when I'm not having a full on attack, my head feels kinda foggy, sometimes my stomach aches a little bit, things like my appetite and sex drive go away i.e. when I'm otherwise ill, etc. Prokhor Zakharov posted:I only get vertigo when I'm concussed and it is The Worst™️.

Big props to ya Foochs that's an endurance challenge for sure. Mine isn't that severe, but tbh the fact that mine has no root cause and that logically I know it'll get better but I have no real way of knowing when, and for all I know I could periodically deal with it forever is a loving horror show. There's a thing called the Epley Maneuver that's designed to fix it that could easily be done in 15-20 minutes at home, but as I said, it basically requires forcibly making the thing happen until it stops (because you're moving your head in a way to get the displaced inner ear crystal to settle back how it should), but I really, really don't want to do that unless I have to.

Thematically though it's mostly just connective tissue. Showgirls is Verhoeven's best movie and Jackie Brown is Tarintino's best movie though and I stand by that.
