    Hijack (Apple TV+)

    Hi Gang! I thought I would start a discussion about this limited series on Apple TV+. It stars Idris Elba and...well, that's about it for recognizable names. He really commands the screen whenever he is on. The rest of the cast is serviceable. None, so far, stand out as being poorly cast or...

    Black Mirror - Season 6

    Hi Gang! I was looking to chat about this season but did not see anything via search. I have only watched the first two episodes, but I have really enjoyed them both. The first episode, "Joan is awful" is quite fun. Very much the style of Black Mirror. The casting was a treat to watch, and it...

    What is this mystery device?

    Hi Gang! My brother-in-law recently moved into a new place. He sent out pictures of a very odd device he found mounted in the new home. I need your expert input to figure out what it is. You can see it is electric in nature. It has a motor on the top and really substantial mounting brackets...

    "Tomato Red"

    Hi Gang, More shameless self-promotion. Here is a trailer for a movie I have a bit-part in. I have not seen the movie yet, but from the script it is a rather depressing tale very much like the author's other famous work, "Winters Bone". Great team to film with. Director had already won an...

    "Rogue" - TV series

    Hi Gang! Curious if anyone has been watching this show. It is filming its 4th season. I had not heard of it until this past summer. I have been watching the first season. So far, it is pretty good...not great. I think the look of the show is solid. Amazing how film-like TV shows can be now. The...

    "Fargo" - New TV series

    Hi Gang, I just auditioned for this show. I had not heard about prior to this, but it sure looks good. It is loosely based upon the Coen brothers movie. That is, it has the same setting and style, but not the same story or characters. I have read the script for the first episode and thought...

    Generation Iron - New Bodybuilding Documentary

    Just saw this trailer yesterday. I think a new documentary about this sport is long overdue. It looks like that they most of the big names of the sport involved and that should make it very interesting. It is too bad that so many people quickly write off bodybuilding as a serious sport...

    Evil Dead - 2013

    I had the day off from work yesterday and felt like going to see a movie. The wife was at work, so I had to pick a film I knew she would not be interested in. In that respect, I nailed my selection. :lol: "Evil Dead" is not for the faint-hearted. I knew it was going to be a rough/gory film...

    "Taken 2"

    Hi Gang, Have not read anything about this on here. I am heading out to see this tonight. Has anyone had a chance to see it yet? I will post my 2 cents after I see it. I am not expecting greatness from this, but I enjoyed the first one and suspect that this will be simply more of the same...

    Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (Part 1)

    Hi Gang! Growing up, I was a big fan of comics. In my teens I was able to read the Frank Miller 4-part epic "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns". This was, for me, a defining story in my life. I have read those over and over again. The pacing, the mood, the philosophy and politics...it was all...

    "Snow White and the Huntsman"

    Hi Gang! I just got back from seeing this movie. I was quite optimistic about it. It had a lot going for it in terms of budget and cast. I wasn't too excited about seeing Kristen Stewart as Snow White, but I was willing to give her a chance. I thought that Chris Hemsworth would be great as...

    Need movie clip ideas for work.

    Hi Gang! My boss at my "real" job now knows that I am an actor and also a movie buff. Now she wants me to come up with some movie clips for a presentation. There are 2 clips that I am stumped with. I need your expert help with the following: 1. A clip that displays the adage "Be careful what you...

    Internet Speed

    Hi Gang! I just upgraded my home Internet connection to a mind-blowing 100Mbps down and 5Mbps up. That is just inconceivable to me. I am a computer network administrator, but speeds like this that are available to the normal home...stunning. When I got into computers MANY years ago, I was big...

    Comic Collecting

    Hi Gang! Been a long, LONG time since I posted anything on the old HTF. I did a search, but didn't see any threads just talking about the hobby of comic collecting. A few months back, I looked closer at my collection of comics. I did a lot of collecting in high school, but really had not touched...

    My close call with death

    Hi Gang, I wanted to share with by brothers and sisters here at the HTF my close call I just had. I had a motorcycle accident on May 28th. I was cut off on a street and had to dump my bike. I was found 100% not a fault and was only driving 40 to 50 kph. For some reason, I must have fallen...

    Re: *** Official TERMINATOR SALVATION Review Thread

    Holy crap...I never really noticed that she WAS his wife! Wow. That does not saw much for the movies character development (or it could just be that I am a dolt)

    IMDB Starmeter ratings

    Hi Gang, As some of you may know, I am a struggling actor. I recently signed up for IMDBPro. In there, I am now able to see all actors/directors/movies etc. "Starmeter Ratings". This is really interesting stuff (for me at least). I am not sure how they arrive at the individual ratings, but it...

    YouTube - How many hours total?

    Hi gang! I was thinking the other day about the revolution of YouTube. There is just SO much stuff (good and bad) on there. I wondered how many hours of total video are on that site? I did some searching on the Internet, but never found a stat for this. One stat I did read was that 13 hours...

    Radio in your head?

    Hi Gang, So, I got married a few months back and one of many things my wife and I have in common is that pretty much at any time, we will have some song in our head. Not the same song, mind you...that would just be strange! I recall asking my dad if he had a song in his head all the time...

    Bigfoot found???

    Well, here I am starting another weird thread. Apparently, some hunters have found the body of an actual Bigfoot/Sasquatch. They are supposed to reveal their findings to the press today. I am strangely interested in this. Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say - CNN.com It really would...

    Interesting UFO discussion

    Hi Gang! I am one who is on the fence in terms of believing in UFO's, but this article on CNN was rather interesting. I thought I would share it and get your feedback. Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

    "Dog" Chapman arrested

    Huh...I searched but did not find a thread on this. I thought it was quite shocking to see "Dog" and the crew getting arrested. I hope he is cleared of the charges. I mean, he is not above the law, but I know that bounty hunting is one of those professions that is really tough to navigate the...

    Death and Birth Statistics

    Hi Gang! Kind of a morbid question, but can anyone tell me within a reasonable margin of error, on average, how many people die around the world every day? Likewise, how many are born? It is just a stat I have always been interested in and have never found a good answer for. I trust the...

    Russian President Putin - Weird story

    Geepers...I just don't know what to make of this story. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe...eut/index.html It is just so...odd. Not a normal thing for a man to do to a boy, let alone a president.

    Is Impersonating the same as Acting?

    Hi Gang! After another year of award winners who impersonated other real people, I am left wondering about the "art" of impersonation. Is it the same as acting? Should it be rewarded as such? Now, don't get me wrong. I think Philip Seymour Hoffman is a super actor. No question. Same goes...
