I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I haven’t seen it yet! I’m excited, though. I LOVED Ang Lee’s last movie, and this is gonna be the first 4K Blu-ray since that movie that’s gonna be in 60fps. 2160p in HDR at 60fps... *drool*

Hey LV, you ever watch Little House on the Prairie? This is a serious question, btw.

Posted: **Sun February 09, 2020 3:39 pm**

I think I saw some of it as a kid but I don’t remember it.

I caught an episode my girlfriend was watching and the cinematography struck me. Something you don't see at least on network TV these days.

I grew up with Little House on the Prairie. When I watch it now I still really love the "light" episodes. The heavy melodramatic ones are impossible to get through. Primarily any episode with Mary once she starts to lose her sight.

I loved that show as a kid.

What percent of movies do you watch to completion?

Hmm...I would estimate like...85%? Ish? I’m not sure. I guess it would depend on how much I would have to watch before turning it off in order for it to count. I turn off plenty of stuff on streaming services within 5 minutes, but if I get beyond that or own something on disc, I usually finish it.

I think I'm somewhere in that neighborhood.

That was a good question for LV

What if you bit into a banana and it dissolved as if you'd crushed chalk?

in the same vein: would you rather banana-flavoured coffee or coffee-flavoured banana?

also wtf dude, you got pica on your mind?

Posted: **Wed February 12, 2020 12:32 am**

that would be gross

banana-flavored coffee

Posted: **Wed February 12, 2020 12:44 am**

were those questions worthy follow ups to my excellent question?

Alien or Aliens?

Posted: **Wed February 12, 2020 12:48 am**

ALIENS

I love them both, though (and Alien3 and AVP and Prometheus and Covenant)
