I agree. I love A24 for the independent movies. Movies that would’ve never gotten a chance anywhere else.
At the very least, it could tarnish the A24 brand and end up like Blumhouse, producing these “legacy sequels” to movies that didn’t really need a (another) sequel to begin with.
I’m curious if this will sour the partnership between Blumhouse and Universal. The Halloween sequels didn’t do as good as 2018’s Halloween, and now this new Exorcist legacy sequel not meeting box office expectations.
How does the company stay afloat when they’re constantly replacing satellites? The money, the logistics, and most of all, the materials. What a waste.
I'd love to extend the life of the Asus laptop, give it a new battery and install a better OS. But she'll have to deal with the weight & bulkiness, especially going on trips. Need something more practical where she can take it wherever like a coffee shop or on a vacation trip.
Chromebook might a good idea. I've also thought about an iPad with the keyboard cover. Both are very practical.
One thing that really bothers me is Instagram “hearing” conversations. I swear the app is listening in, even with the microphone being disabled for the app. My wife & I would talk about a certain product or restaurant and sure enough, we see ads for it on Instagram the next time we’re on it. Very disturbing.
Totally agree. They made a lot of epic sounding trailer music. Their "Freedom Fighters" track for the Star Trek (2009) trailer still gives me goosebumps. Well fitting.
Wasn’t there issues during production of this movie? I love Eli Roth’s work, but honestly, he’s not the director I would’ve picked for a Borderlands movie.
It was a stand-alone disc, mail-in offer for those who bought the PS2 Network Adapter during the launch period.
From what I've read, not as great as Fallout but still a good Mission Impossible movie. If it's just as good as the last few movies (Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, Fallout), I'm happy and will definitely see it in the theatres.
Favorite obscure game?
Panther for Commodore 64 - The music is awesome!
Rez for Dreamcast/PS2 - not everyone talks about this game but the audience is a lot larger now than it was back when it came out for the Dreamcast and PS2 now that Rez Infinite is available in almost every current platform including the PSVR2.
I would’ve also said Another World (aka Out of this World) for the PC and SNES. But this game is also not-too-obscure like Rez. There are articles about it & the creation, re-released in almost every platform including the PS Vita, spiritual successors, copycats, and so on.
Floors so clean, you can practically eat off of it!
My wife and I were planning our wedding. Everything was paid from our own pockets. No help from parents or family. It wasn’t like they weren’t there, just wanted to do it ourselves since it’s our wedding.
By the time we’ve booked the venue, catering, photographer, budgeting clothing & decorations, we had no money to hire a DJ. And if we did, we didn’t want some “Top 40” DJ (we’re from the alternative subculture)
I rented some audio equipment, hooked it up to my MacBook, and used iTunes as the DJ. I’ve made a few playlists based on the wedding’s schedule. One playlist for the dinner, one playlist for the “walking down the aisle” moment, one playlist for dancing/post-ceremony. Having the playlists allows me to “play and forget” I’ve had certain songs setup at the end of the playlists in case we’ve overran a certain wedding function and I’ll know the playlist is near the end (most of the playlists were loaded with hours of songs so I wouldn’t have to worry) The walking down the aisle song was on it’s own playlist with the length trimmed down to how long it would take my wife to walk down the aisle (the song would just fade out & nothing else would be playing) It worked out pretty well, with me changing the playlist a few times. All MacBook sounds were turned off and Do Not Disturb was on to avoid unwanted notifications. It was connected to a public wifi (provided by my ISP) if I needed to do any remote controlling or downloading additional songs.
