I’ll take proper notes when I re-watch this.

Outpost 37 (2014) poster

A documentary following soldiers fighting the aliens left over from an invasion.

I rather liked this! People talk about this being low budget, but until it’s pointed out I doubt someone would really notice.

Ghostbusters (2016) image

Having fallen from grace, two friends are reunited in their pursuit of ghosts, eventually forming a band of four who fight them. And stuff.

This is neither a sequel to the actual Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), nor is it anything in its style or quality. It’s just a theft of the franchise. It shits all over it. Ignoring all of that, it’s still an awful movie on its own.

This is not a comedy! Don’t mistake it for one! The only funny scene had nothing to do with the main characters.

This is a steaming pile of shit. Do not watch it!

This is officially non-cannon.

World of Warcraft > AddOns >

Yet another DPS meter.

It can be made to work quite well. I especially like chat-tab integration.

Although it can be configured to be more simple, the fact that it’s such a large/complex addon makes it vulnerable to breakage and not worth using.

Digital Voice Recorder 1

was chinabuye.com/4gb-digital-stereo-voice-recorder-dictaphone-mp3-player-1

A basic dictaphone and mp3 player.

It records with horrible static with both its in-built and provided microphone, but its mp3 playback is spectacular. Its utterly shit mp3 interface, slow song switching and no shuffle make it basically useless as a player.

I bought this lower-sized version because it mentioned having a lithium battery. It does not, which pisses me off to no end.

While this works, it is definitely not recommended. Buy something else, even if it costs more.

  • There is no name brand or model identification on this device or its documentation.

Second Chance (2016) image

was https://www.fox.com/second-chance/

An old retired cop is reborn into a younger, stronger, version of himself, and fights crime.

Seems fairly good, though I’d bet it would be bland without the pretty girl.

Modify (2005) image

Entertainment > Movies >

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455980/

Stories of people who regard augmenting their bodies as a way of life, whether for artistic reasons or out of pure vanity.

A movie about people who feel so trapped in their body they desperately want to control it. A community that’s basically a hugbox that shackles them together for encouragement.

Look Who's Back (2015) German language poster

Entertainment > Movies >

(on Wikipedia)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4176826/

Hitler is pulled into his future, and being able to do nothing but be himself, he is taken to be a comedian.

I know this is meant as a comedy, but.. it’s just off. It’s worth a watch, but just the one. It touches on quite a lot of .. well touchy subjects. Perhaps this movie will greatly improve in time, while things aren’t so sensitive.

Saving Private Ryan (1998) poster

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120815/

A dude goes places and does things, looking for some stuff I think. There are explosions and is smoking.

Noted here just for one of those “oh, I’ve seen that” references.

I don’t recall particularly liking or disliking it.

Enemy at the Gates (2001) poster

Entertainment > Movies >

(on Wikipedia)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0215750/

During World War II, a lucky Soviet soldier is fictionalized into a hero, but he truly earns that distinction only to find himself up against the German’s very best.

With a good pace and atmosphere, this movie is riveting.

  • Based on Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad (1973 book), by William Craig

    • ISBN 0-14-139017-4
