The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
Not bad. The reviews aren't good claiming without a haunted house and without director James Wan that The Conjuring charm is gone.
I disagree. The man possessed here is tethered to a haunted place everywhere he goes and for me it actually worked. Also Vera Farmiga was excellent here and James Wan wrote the story and co-produced the film.
Imo if you like this franchise this is in fact a worthy addition.

Gorgeous. I haven't heard quite that kind of groove at so high a pitch during some guitar lead work.
The section on the YouTube clip there at 1:25 is just gorgeous.

Not sure if this is the thread for it, or maybe it's exactly the thread for it but I've wondered for years if the US is a laughing stock around the world.
I may be missing a larger picture but even just hearing the 'Charlie Bit My Finger' siblings speaking in a video 10 years later sounded like listening to the most eloquent panty-dropping physics professor on the planet compared to a staggering numbers if the people I've known own in the US. I'm not judging them, it's just an observation about our speaking abilities here which seem to rely on endless filler and hemming and hawing and words that immediately allow wiggle room to someone's point so as to become ambiguous enough to not really be grounded to either side of an argument so as to not piss anyone off or be 100% wrong.

I'll often give a cursory stab at the freezer with the tub and one eye on the game. If it doesn't go in it doesn't go in it wasn't meant to be.

That picture taken of the rings from inside of Saturn taken by Cassini is mindblowing to think we've gotten to the point to be able to get those photos and have them sent back.

Yes, I owned some quite decent telescopes in my youth. 4 inch refractor and 8.5 inch reflector. And I used some far more serious pro jobs when I was studying astronomy at the University of London Observatory including an 8 inch and a 24 inch refractor. I've clearly seen the rings and the Cassini Division, as well as atmospheric bands on the planet itself. Oh my God. That's amazing. I know this is possibly level 1 question here but when you are seeing that on your equipment...you are seeing something so far away...because of space/time are you seeing that object in another time because of its distance?

Very interesting. I'd never known of this. I have the book 'Barbarossa' and it is jaw dropping the numbers of tanks involved in that battle and the conditions soldiers ultimately had to fight in and die from.
Listening now. Imagination running. Will Google to see if any stories of his involve World War 1.

I saw the Stranglers live in 79 my very first gig. They played at Wembley with The Who AC/DC and Nils Lofgren The Stranglers were awful live I quite liked some of their songs at the time so was quite looking forward to seeing them, so ended up disappointed. Did I understand correctly in another thread that you've been to 3000 concerts?

Thanks so much man. It's very nice to see that this song is well known here on the forum.
Will follow up on the links provided as well. And will begin reading about the other songs in this new section of the forum.
It literally feels like a miracle to me, truly, for all of us here to live in a time when there is so much to enjoy and then discuss it.
Music has left a massive impact on all of our lives here it seems.

This song may be one of the most memorable of my adult life. There's maybe a hundred 70's & 80's radio hits that I love dearly thanks to hearing them around the house when growing up.
But this one I discovered on my own during a scene of the Guy Ritchie film 'Snatch' about the fictional comical British gangs and their capers.
What's odd to me is that it reminds me the most of a city in the US called Lawrence, MA, where I spend most of my time, just north of Boston. Lawrence was once a very well known city because it and its sister city nearby, Lowell, were the textile capitals of the world at one point.
There's still plenty of industry here but not like before, the old mills are mostly for show now and and other ventures, with a mostly Hispanic population and a constant peppering of out of town, exclusively white, heroin addicts.
While visualizing on a drive here once, the music of the song and its overall effect on me all came together as sort of a mixture causing me to think of the history of the city as well as it's physical layout, while simultaneously the lyrics point to its current condition today as one of the heroin capitals of this region.
Wow all of these words just to try to convey that this one song instantly transports me to memories and visions of Lawrence even though it's written by a British rock band.

A Quiet Place part II
Holy crap. Well done. I'd always thought the first one was a respectable film though never gave it a second viewing. After this both films will belong in my DVD collection.
This was an example of an OK premise executed very well. Each character's terror of and hatred for these creatures is palpable. You can see what these maniacs have taken from all of these characters on the characters faces.

Man that's gorgeous. There were videos of something just like this about 10 years ago though back then I think it was just one jet of water. Looks like could be so much fun if you get good at it.
