Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

you may want to close up that hook-up - at least here you get those caps in every hardware store


Not intending to be derogatory to anyone, but here in the States they are called "child-proof" electrical caps, not totally water-proof but...resistant.

i'm talking the water plugs (especially the waste water plugs)
Should be o.k. if you do not intend to plug anything into them.

I still recommend enlisting a certified electrician too be safer.
to move sth heavy in front of the power plug? is an electrian certified to operate a forklift your place?

Or when a double length bus leaves its back half sticking out into traffic creating a bottleneck. Especially when it had room enough to pull completely out of the way but the driver is incompetent or being a ****.

Here bus drivers will literally block the entire intersection knowing fully well the light is going to change because of how bad the traffic is.

no problem with that - if you are faster by bus and therefore take the bus instead of your car everybody wins - a subway would be better of course
 
I don’t fuckin care what anybody says. The Green Lantern movie kicked ass.

Of course I’m biased because Hal Jordan was a hero to me as a kid, but there we are.

Yeah, it does kinda suck that even Ryan Reynolds doesn’t think much of it anymore, but I still liked the movie.

And I TOTALLY love the idea of the Emotional Spectrum. It's DAMN cool that every major color gets its own Lantern Corps! :techman:
 
We watched The Last Jedi earlier today and I realized that Rey is the only Rebel with a British accent. When I mentioned that to my hubby, he said, "That should've been our first clue to her heritage!" :lol:

I used to be some kind of pissed that the electrical outlets in my basement were halfway up the walls. But when said basement flooded last weekend, I stopped feeling that way...

I sit corrected. :)

And, there are also Imperials who speak American. There's Admiral Motti in the original film, and I think some of the First Order flag officers in the sequel trilogy. (Finn doesn't count, since I'm fairly sure he doesn't speak until he goes rogue.)

Also the stormtroopers all speak with US accents. Even Daniel Craig's cameo in TFA. ;)

Fun fact: Not only did Rogue One (my favorite film in the series, BTW :) ) feature unused footage from SW, such as bits with Red and Gold Leaders, but in at least one case, the original actor actually returned to record all new dialogue!

IIRC, it's when Gold Leader says "We're starting our attack run on the shield gate". In the original clip, he just says "We're starting our attack run" (meaning, on the Death Star), but the actor re-recorded the line, this time to refer to the shield at Scarif. And when Gold Leader actually mentions the shield gate, he's not onscreen (it cuts away right before he says that), so it doesn't look like bad dubbing. In fact you can hardly tell it's newly recorded, his voice has apparently not changed in 40 years!

It's very high on my list. Not only a good Star Wars movie, but a *good movie*.

I think I misremembered the accents. Or I was thinking of the old trope (and Jaguar commercial) that villains in American films tend to be British.
 

I'm an old-fashioned kinda'--k.i.s.s., keep it simple stOOpid-- guy. ;)
