the best way to watch the original Star Wars trilogy is Harmy’s Despecialized Edition imo. Lucas went way overboard cutting up the original series, and these try to give you something as close as possible to the original theatrical experience

I wondered about making a poll to vote on what Harvey should watch next but there's just way too much stuff out there. We could stick to big ones like The Wire, Sopranos, GoT, LOST, etc but that'd still be a big poll. And a lot of those are huge time sinks. Plus the Goku option might confuse Harvs.

The thing about most movies is that they exist within a specific context, and a window of time, even subjectivity aside. Something might have been an amazing movie for you when you saw it, but had you seen it 10 years later instead you might have hated it. We tend to remember the movies as we experienced them in the time and context the first time, and if we're lucky we might get to keep that context internally on future watchings, but largely you'll go back and realize that it isn't as good as it felt originally. So if I see someone who doesn't like starship troopers, a film that *largely at least* holds up fairly well, I feel inclined to chalk that up to having experienced it much later than most people. But I challenge anyone to go back and actually watch movies they enjoyed 20 years ago with fresh eyes, perhaps with someone who hasn't seen it. It can be disheartening if it's something near and dear to you, but a lot of the stuff we grew up loving was only good because of the set and setting it was initially presented in. This concludes my Ted talk: your favorite movie is probably bad, and why that's okay

This is interesting^ Perhaps the mark of a truly "great" movie is one that holds up 20 or 30 years later when you are, due to life experiences, a very different person in a very different place yrt the movie is still enthralling. Examples: The Thing, Aliens 1 and 2, Terminator 1 and 2 all still absolutely worth watching

Starship Troopers is weird bc it's a parody of the book from which it's based, basically thumbing it's nose at the original book, but you'd had to have read the book to get that, so a whole generation of 10 yo boys who saw it all they took away was BUGS, BLAM BLAM, OOH UNISEX SHOWERS

The Best Star Wars movie and the only one you should watch other than the original trilogy is Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl (English Subs) You can watch it for free on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa9J6hilvRU

The matrix still Owns Bones, I saw it the other day with my 14 yo and they are pitiless cultural critics let me tell u She really liked it though admittedly she thought it needed Morpheus making more quips, like idk 'you just got matrixed' Ooh! Stranger things is really good. Spinz posted:This is interesting^ Also this

So in between the ceaseless recommendations of media and the even more ceaseless sniping about media recommendations, I'd really like to hear any of OP's further reflections on life on the outside. You went in a while ago, and as others have noted, technology has flown at an amazing rate since. Could you tell us more about what's confused our surprised you? Or, what you thought would be confusing/surprising but has been easy to pick up? Given your changed tastes (everything's so salty now, you said) have you found any new zoo zoos you like? One of my favorites, when I can find them, are pretzel M&Ms: M&M shells and chocolate surrounding a pretzel core. I don't know if you'd find them too salty, because pretzels are supposed to be salty, but maybe you'd like them. One thing that is great, as people have said, is that it's much easier to find good food in a lot of different cuisines than it used to be, whether in mainstream grocery stores or in restaurants. This is even true in rural places, unless you're really in the sticks -- I don't know how rural you are when you say you're rural.

Dates and times and specifics have saved my job before. I'm lucky to have a job now where I haven't had to open that document a single time. It's the only job I've had in 15 years where it hasn't been useful On this note, all cell phones now have pretty decent audio recording apps, either by default or available in their respective app stores. This can be to your benefit if you need to

harveys zoo zoos posted:thanks for the tips and explanation about youtube. i was wondering why i got videos about flat earth in my list like what the hell man that's just dumb. even i know that's not right come on. Its simple really. Internet connects ppl together in good and bad, that also means that the scammer and the scammed connect way easier now they can also form groups as well. If you know MLM pyramid schemes its the same thing you get couple guys that get rich by the scam to market it and rest of the suckers will just flood in. It has also enabled some scams to get really big. And i mean Superbowl ad's big. Couple months ago a billion dollar crypto company called FTX went bust thats how big scams are now, and the guy running it wasnt even smart. Another scam haven to be aware of is crowdfunding, which is basically pre-ordering product before product is even designed. (and they dont have to deliver the product if they fail) for example water bottles that collect water from air for free which unfortunately isnt plausible. couple legit products have come out of crowdfunding as well, but its impact has been somewhat negative. there is a crowdfunded space game project for example that costs 5x the cost of putting thing into space. 1 rocket costing 100 million and space game costing 500 million dollars.

Hey Harvey, if you get a phone call from someone claiming to be your grandson/granddaughter and they claim they've been kidnapped and the only way you're ever going to see them again is to send $5000 in iTunes gift cards to a foreign country, it's 100% legit.

Giving "ironic" bad advice to someone intentionally because they might be less equipped to be able tell the difference should be a bannable offense imho, and something really has to be broken inside of you to think that's funny or even okay.
