Insidious: The Red Door (2023)

Don't even bother. 2 hours wasted.

3/10, and I'm being too generous to this boring, recycled, predictable, Hollywood horror flick.

I abandoned the horror genre shortly after i witnessed my first Bitcoin bear market  

....
 Dude!  I smell another song brewin'  
 "Asshat Self"

Great concept bro.
However, for now it will have to go on the back burner.
I recently got sucked into a band situation, so and now I gotta practice someone else's songs.

I'd wish to do some band stuff just for funzies, but the metalheads in my area are either way too young (below 25, not very disciplined and always drunk), or they are 50+ and already engaged in their bands for years or decades. My electronic drumkit doesn't help, it's fine for basic practice. Mesh drumheads also feel too "bouncy", and you can't compare that heavy, slow rubberized plastic plate(s) to a real hihat. You are pretty lost with that in any non-studio rehearsal situation (good headphone mixing needed at least), too. So i think i'll settle on instrumental guitar/bass tracks to play along. Not that there are many to find, but youtube has some gems to offer.

-----------

So Bitcoin to $200k via Quatar?
I don't know. I think they won't be so stupid to buy in a manner that they drive up the price. I also think they have a lot of experience from other markets, so it's unlikely they gonna go all in at once.

Insidious: The Red Door (2023)

Don't even bother. 2 hours wasted.

3/10, and I'm being too generous to this boring, recycled, predictable, Hollywood horror flick.

Taking it off my rental list after what you wrote.

Hollywood has become pretty pathetic in many ways. Look at the director of the upcoming Star Wars Rey movie.
They are off their heads. Completely lost the plot to the point they think it's fun irritating the last remaining fans.

I think when things became too easy for them (unlimited money for the execs) things turned to shit mostly.
The original blockbuster movie makers laid foundations during difficult circumstances (Spielberg / Lucas / Cameron), often having to
compromise and make things work with a limited budget which made them more creative, instead of less.
Those days are gone.
There are still a few gems in amongst the sea of lazy attempts. I enjoyed Top Gun Maverick in 2022 and John Wick 4 and Gran Turismo in 2023.
If you want horror check out Pearl, which was decent (made by A24) or The Black Phone (by Universal which appears to be subscribing less to the woke agenda and thus I think will survive).

However, the most impressive movie for me recently has been Godzilla Minus One.
Delivered with so much passion and conviction. It doesn't even matter it's in Japanese.
Epic movie, great ideas with some superb shots.
A rare one that gets better the more often I watch it.
Damn perfect movie really.
It seems to have some of the best inspiration from Spielberg that I have seen that almost surpasses the originals
(Jaws & Jurassic Park mostly, even a hint of Saving Private Ryan is in there).

I enjoyed Luc Besson's movies in the past, but the thrilling plot carrying you along was mostly replaced by bullet- and explosion -heavy SFX warfare CGI scenes, lately.
And there are soo many errors, no more fun to watch action movies when you go "wtf, did you see this?" every couple of minutes.

(Jaws & Jurassic Park mostly, even a hint of Saving Private Ryan is in there).

Now that sounds really interesting. Maybe i'll check that one out.
Anectdote: Saving Private Ryan was the first movie in a long time which almost made me threw up (i was really stoned, though). Very impressive. Watched it again later, brilliant!

I had some good laughs watching "Babylon" (2022) a few days ago, which was lurking on my harddrive for a couple of months already.

Leon still holds up. I watched it a year or two ago again. Still so good 30 years on.

Imo, the best one. Gary Oldman was really good in acting the badass.

BTC will do what it wants.

I'm not so sure we will get the expected scenarios:

ETF is approved - BTC go boom, it may drop I reckon.

ETF are all delayed - BTC go down, it may boom I reckon.

Or we just go sideways for a while.

Enjoy the roller coaster whatever happens and buy more if you can.

Speaking of movies.
I watched Dream Scenario starring Nicolas cage.
I thought it was pretty good for a recent production considering all the crap these days.
Made me laugh and weirded me out a bit too.
Gave me a bit of a black mirror vibe.
Worth a watch 7/10

Interesting contest between bot and a human. Lead has gone up to 41 posts.

Credit to philipma1957 for marinating lead over a bot for such a long duration.

......

Seeing this list made me think that if the 3rd most prolific poster were to delete his account, I reckon the percentage of lunacy on this forum would go down ten fold.

Correct. Only top three have over 40k posts while forth one has post below 30k.

How do y'all take your coffee when chart watching?
I usually do a sugar and splash or milk/heavy whipping cream but Im out of sugar!  So I did manage to find a bag of brown sugar and tried it. To my surprise it pairs well!  

With sugar and milk. And drugs.

Fun fact: I’ve never had coffee. I did have a neighbor growing up who used to drink his coffee with mushrooms in the morning. I thought that was weird until I got older.

This could be the last week without an ETF approval. I feel like there’s a good chance we could see a massive price swing next week. There will certainly be big news one way or the other.

Since caffeine is considered a drug, anyone who drinks coffee everyday is technically a drug addict. Good on you for staying clean

Mushrooms and coffee? I don't think my stomach could keep that down.

Well said.

Not much to add to the above. I find myself watching foreign (non-English) movies more often lately. Hollywood seems to have saturated and succumbed to the woke virus, or recycling/reselling old successes.

Thanks for the recommendations, will check them out. Pearl is already on my to-watch list. Never heard of The Black Phone (I like the title, will be watching this tonight I think). I liked the John Wick series (can't remember which ones I've watched), will check out John Wick 4. Will definitely be watching Godzilla Minus One, it looks very promising, and coming from Japan is a plus.

Just noticed there's a Saw X (2023). Based on the cover, it seems like typical Saw material, which could be enjoyable if well executed. 6.6/10 on IMDb looks worth watching.

Saw X is pretty decent if you don't mind that sort of thing, probably the best since the first movie.
Tobin Bell is superb in it in fact.

Certainly not woke. If anything some of the women get the worst traps.

Mushrooms and coffee? I don't think my stomach could keep that down.

I gave up coffee for a few months.
You first get horrible withdrawal headaches, really different than a normal headache. It was quite a surprise as I only used to drink 1 cup of coffee per day and maybe 2 cups of extremely weak tea.

In the end it felt like it made no real difference to me as coffee only gives me a calm short energy boost and never interfered with sleep, and I actually only had negative effects giving it up, such as more irregular bowel movements that were a bit harder to endure also.

I also spoke to my doctor about caffeine a few years ago and he reckons the whole "I stopped coffee and this is what happened..." YouTube viral stuff is just a fad and exaggerated nonsense mostly.

As long as you don't drink more than 1-5 cups of coffee per day or so I doubt it has a significant effect on your health.
Like anything, excessive consumption of anything will cause problems somewhere.

Also, black coffee has virtually no calories so it works well with a diet etc.

I drink 2 large cups of coffee per day and non caffeinated rooibos/redbush tea.
All with sweeteners.
These are not necessary perhaps and some people reckon they are cancerous garbage.

Still, I reckon this is much less worse than excessive alcohol or smoking.

Since going back to coffee, I actually really enjoy the process of making filtered coffee.
I have an old fashioned filter machine (with the paper filter things).
