Re: Turbo Kid

Man, I loved it for the scene where she taught him "the art of kicking ass," alone.

Although, sadly, this is because as soon as she 'revealed the secret' I actually got the easter egg/reference.

On my iPhone 6 using IOS 8, I press the IGx forum tab I've always used, it spins for a second and spits me out of Forum Runner completely. Can't even take a screen shot, the process is so fast.

Re: Inside out

I mean, it was pretty good, but it was not exactly a deep, heart-wrenching masterpiece.

So, when it comes to "you'll cry," probably not unless you're a hormonal teen girl who just had to move from Minnesota to a state with no hockey.

So, IGx is probably not the kind of place that gives a shit about copyright v. trademark (I know *I* sure don't.) but how many books have something like "city on the hill" in the title? And, back to this case, just a couple years ago you had the "you are your own gym," which seem...

Re: Hick

You can't watch the Horseman very often, but a couple times a year the 1-2 punch of that and Oldboy late on a Saturday night will remind you how cinematographically (is that a word?) effective violence can be in films if done the right way.

Re: The Leftovers

But, on the other hand, if 2% of people up and disappeared, you would freak the fuck out; so, I am guessing that the show is more about the social upheaval and less about how/why the people are gone. For now. So, I guess the above was a little prophetic on my part, but now it is pissing me off how ...

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy

Went to a matinee today with the 10 year-old; he loved it, and this was the first flick I had seen in the theatre in quite a while I thought was worth paying the $8 for.

Also, JB's point that the soundtrack was awesome was WAY understated. They hit a homerun on that, not to mention the casting.

Re: Thoughts on Handguns?

I think you already identified the two most important issues to a consumer, generally, ergonomics and the trigger.

Re: Lets talk Rifles/Carbines

Also, never run combloc steel case ammo through your mini14. Not because of the cases, but because the bullets are bi-metal and they will wear out your barrel faster than normal. This is great advice. It is crazy how the same gun barrel, shooting plain old cheap federal stuff will last for 10,000 r...

Darth- The Mini-14 is a solid little rifle. Have an older Mini-30, myself. I'm not sure it's what to go with based on the reasons you gave, however. There is no inherent problem with 7.62x39 when it comes to accuracy. Sure, you are going to have noticeably more drop from 200 to 300 yard than with a ...

The thing I like it about it, as compared to other 'rapture fiction,' is that it's only 2% of people. With only 2% of folks gone, the world *really* shouldn't skip a beat, logistically. It'...

I guess, to me, all of the other COCOMs are essentially 'where they need to be' for ops purposes, because if nothing else you have big bases in-theatre to operate from.

The setup was almost too easy, and you could see it coming a mile away, but when they threw this in there:
