  • [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?
  • That was really good. It's something I hadn't given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn't exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn't really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.

  • Are filament vacuum bags worthwhile?
  • The big issue for long term storage and exposure to moisture is hydrolysis, in which over time water molecules infiltrate and alter the polymer chains of the filament, causing the mechanical properties to degrade. Hydrolysis is, to the best of my knowledge, not reversible by simply driving the filament as the water molecules become incorporated into the polymer chain.

    That said, simply storing your filament in your vacuum bags and tossing in some dessicant pouches before you seal it should drastically increase the time you can store filament before running the risk of it degrading noticeably.

    Personally I just have a large plastic bin with a rechargeable dessicant device that keeps things relatively dry and I haven't had any issues storing filament long term.

  • [Discussion thread] Fallout
  • I enjoyed it overall, but I feel like the >!Steel Brotherhood storyline!< was probably the weakest part. Walton Goggins was excellent though, and feel like he definitely nailed it.

  • ‘X-Files’ Creator Chris Carter Gave Ryan Coogler His Blessing for Series Reboot: ‘He’s Got Some Good Ideas’
  • If you're going to cherry pick one of his movies to make some sort of point you could at least pick his lowest rated film (Space Jam: A New Legacy). Most of Coogler's films score well with both critics and audiences so I think it's fine to wait and see before getting too excited.

  • The Champions of Justice AKA Los campeones justicieros (1971)

    Five luchadores face off against a mad scientist and his army of powerful wrestling midgets.

    Controversial benchmarking website goes behind paywall — Userbenchmark now requires a $10 monthly subscription
  • I'm sure there are niche users for who paying the price of admission is acceptable, but for myself and I assume a vast number of other users, when I'm comparing performance of hardware I'm already checking reviews on multiple other sites, so this will only mean I don't bother to check their site.

    I haven't visited their site in a long time though, so I'm not sure what value-adds they offered that might make the price more palatable.

  • Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000 (aka Virgin Hunters) (1994)
  • This movie was something special, the first 10 minutes or so are completely bonkers, and set the tone for the rest of the movie. Things are silly and played for laughs at every opportunity, however some highlights are multiple sex scenes that drag on to the point of incredulity in the same way as Family Guy often did with some of it's convey sequences, and just got funnier the more over the top it became.

    The Terminator from wish was also incredible value, from the terrible attempt at an Austrian accent to his interactions with the head mistress.

    Overall we loved this movie a lot and I can definitely see it making a future appearance at a bad movie night with more of my friends

  • Crime Zone (1989)
  • Not going to lie, I chose to watch this based solely on the poster. Not surprised to see David Carradine, but was pleasantly surprised to see Sherilyn Fenn a few years before her time on Twin Peaks. The movie is kind of goofy, and it definitely has its flaws but I don't regret watching it.

    Kind of clumsily touches on elements refined in future movies like Gattaca, Minority Report and others, but it's still fun world building. My favourite tidbit is that in this world it's normal for cops to conduct dick inspections. What a future.

  • Crime Zone (1989)

    In a post-nuclear future, crime has been eliminated in the city of Soleil through a strict class structure imposed upon the population. Two illegal young lovers are enticed into becoming criminals by a shady guy who promises them a way out of the city so they can continue their lives in peace.

    The Lamp (aka The Outing) 1987
  • Watched this in the evening with my friend, and it was an interesting take on a monster movie, having not seen many evil djinn in film myself. Loved the practical effects of the djinn at the end too.

  • Body Melt (1994)
  • Fun effects, very 90's style, really interesting soundtrack. Overall a pretty decent movie, seems to be heavily inspired by The Thing (1982) with some of the practical effects. It's the duck's guts 👍.

  • Body Melt (1994)

    STAGE 1: HALLUCINATIONS.

    STAGE 2: ORGAN FAILURE.

    STAGE 3: BODY MELT.

    Residents of peaceful Pebbles Court, Homesville, are being used unknowingly as test experiments for a new 'Body Drug' that causes rapid body decomposition (melting skin etc.) and painful death.

    Dead End Drive-In (1986)
  • Watched this last night and I love the whole movie, but the absolute chaos and familiarity of the first half hour is amazing. There was a bit of a lull in the middle, but the movie was definitely a lot of fun. Our favourite thing is how everyone just seems to accept that they're drive-in people now, including the love interest with practically no encouragement, but when Crabsie floats the idea of trying to get out everyone is incredulous.

    Also the idea of towies fighting for wrecks and fighting off roving hordes of carboys is a lot of fun.

  • Dead End Drive-In (1986)
  • To put it in context, there was a number of very upset racists in the 80's and 90's in Australia who were panicking about the increase in Asian migrants coming into Australia, and this movie would have come out in the thick of if, I love the commentary of this movie and pointing out how silly the racist arguments actually are.

  • Fat Ass Zombies (2020)

    "In a sleepy town, one man, a wannabe horror film director is about to have his life and the world he knows change forever. Finally, he gets the big break he has been waiting a lifetime for, but it's not Hollywood knocking on his door."

    Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

    Has anybody been watching Monarch so far, and have any thoughts on the series so far. I've enjoyed the moments where the muto are around, but I'm not entirely sold on the whole shadow organisation tied up with the muto and just generally being kind of generically secretive. I enjoy it enough to see the season out before forming any big opinions, but I am interested on what others have thought so far.
