View Full Version : Take 2
Me again, IMDB refugee, 10 year user of that board... Lifelong Floridian
Enjoy films of all ages, types, genres, I could never pick any favorite considering my library has everything from Casablanca to ridiculous dumb comedy..
turned an unused bedroom upstairs into a home theater with HD projector, surround sound, couch seating and even took the bifold closet doors out putting in a mini fridge and microwave for snacks and drinks. I collect horrible movies on disk, spray the back with tack spray, mount corkboard on them, use an exacto to cut the excess and center hub out and have a "Horrible movie coaster set".. Recently upgraded to Blu-Ray a few months back, (very late to the hd game) and have been playing catch up on those, With the upgrade to blu-ray I got a big tv upgrade though so I'm starting to watch movies in the living room..
My sister is into feral cat rescue which means I by extension am also into feral cat rescue.. She's always shuttling over strays for me to foster til they get fixed and adopted out...
Play a bit of x-box 360, steam on PC, enjoy building/fixing things in my spare time

Welcome to the site, Odum.
As for Blu-Ray... I still haven't upgraded :D
I guess I'm like those people who prefer Vinyl to CD :laugh:
Hi again. Love the sound of your home cinema, and always great to see a fellow animal lover. I used to have siamese cats but now have 3 terriers and a crazy spoilt runt pug. The pug would be fine with cats. 2 of the terriers not so much. one particular would lick it to death.

I held out as long as I could as I have thousands of DVD's and looking at the wall of movies, the dread at imagining having to upgrade them all,
But DVD was becoming an orphaned format.. all the extras and goodies going to Blu-Ray and I'm a junkie for extras, documentaries, gag reels etc...
Started replacing them off either Amazon or ebay, hopping back and forth checking prices, and as it turns out, Blu-Rays are actually cheaper than DVD's for the most part now, lost track of how many listings I'd see "$7.99 blu-ray, $19.99 DVD"
And the quality upgrade is insanely noticable.
You can get a solid refurbished player off amazon for $30-$40 bucks, and check it out.. as a plus Blu-Ray players are like smart phones.. you can download apps to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Vudu, etc... And they also do a true 1080 upconversion on DVD's as well.

Run Kitteh!
That's Gigi in the avatar, she has some insane fascination with BB-8, she used to climb the shelves to pick up the little one I had on display and she'd carry it around and sleep with it, so I got the Sphero app controlled one that I'll put down and let run around the house, she'll chase it all day and when it goes on the charger she passes out on it to recharge herself...
She's kind of nuts
I thought it was funny though, an Orange and white cat named Gigi loves an orange and white droid named BB

Very beautiful kitty in your avatar, but then I'm partial to the orange ones. I've got two myself.

A major problem for me right now is the TV.
A decent TV in the UK is a grand... and I haven't got the cashflow for that these days.
My last TVcost £1500 and packed up 1 month after the guarantee ended so I'm using an old Sony Trinitron now.
I love the DVD extras as well, and personally I do get peeved when DVD users are, technically, punished for not upgrading to Blu-Ray.
It's a case of having to buy an expensive TV, and having to buy an expensive player, and having to buy the more expensive disc... or get punished with a disc that has little content... and personally, I can't see much difference between the formats.
I mean, not to sound like a technophobe... I can see and hear the difference between vinyl, CD and cassette... and between VHS, Betamax and DVD (yeah I go back far enough to remember Betamax lol!)... but DVD to Blu-Ray is just a money making ploy by already rich companies.
Kinda like the scam of 3D. Ugh... 3D... don't get me started on that crap :D

Dayum that's adorable. When I was first given my insane pug she had a frog that croaked when she lay on it. She was madly inlove. Bastard terrier tore it apart. He's had a thing for frogs ever since. He runs inside with their little legs hanging out his mouth then rolls on them in ecstacy. Usually results in death.

I kind of lucked out on that front, I figured my flatscreens were both 720, that's as high as they went.. when I got the Blu-Ray players, they both jumped to 1080.. (And I was watching netflix through my Wii which was only 480, Imagine the jump from 480-1080)
But they were both 32"... the Blu-Rays looked great on them, but I wanted bigger, so I waited til Black Friday and found a really good deal online for a 60" samsung smart tv, it was the black friday bait at 299, In store only, blah blah blah, but they had an open box deal, clicked that and they had one for 269, w/delivery. ordered that, it took forever to get here, when it did it was completely destroyed, wasn't packaged right, the box was ripped, pieces of tv hanging out, refused delivery and started raising hell with best buy, they were out of that tv for the foreseeable future, the open box was a one time fluke, did I have any size constraints? if not, they could overnight a 65" instead....
Cha-Ching.
And I thought there wasn't that big a deal with between blu-ray and DVD... but ordered the Lord of the Rings extended version on Blu-Ray, figured I'd watch the hobbit I already had on DVD then LotR... popped it in, Nope.... there's a huge difference. put off the marathon til I got the Hobbit Blu-Ray set.

Like building some threads for BVS, MCU, etc? Or have you already done that? There are too many threads to try to keep up with. :D

I told her about this site but she told me that she's taking a little break. She said that we'll see her again, though.

Nah, I need a new pedalboard for my fxs. :)
Can't believe I forgot to add I collect Movie Prop replicas...
Good thing I wasn't on a movie board or anything, that might have been an insane omission.

Well, coming to this board IS like taking a break because it's NOTHING like that diseased IMDB over here. :yup:

They really did rely on their lives of trolling and it's quite evident in how they post now. All that deflection. All that "I'm really gonna miss this, guys" and, of course, the fact that if the DCCU WERE to have success...they can't throw it up in anyone's faces anymore. :yup:
In the end it was IMDB that had the last laugh, last troll and BEST troll of all. :rotfl:

I took a look this morning and one of the trolls brought on their "OdumsMom" account trying to get a reaction...
If it counts I gave it a literal eyeroll and popped over here.
Won't be missing THAT cesspool one bit.

Yeah, I saw that one. All the socks are coming out of the woodwork. One last "hurrah" for them before they're left without a forum to be as racist and inhuman as they are.
Now, I wonder how long it will be before they break Youtube. That's another cesspit and a perfect environment for them. :willem:

I already put Yoda on alert about them. I think they'll avoid this place when they see the tight moderation. This is NOT the place for those sock puppets. :yup:

I would have thought 4chan, but those fisher price rookie trolls would be torn to shreds there... t-ball players trying to sit in on the big leagues.

I don't know anything about 4chan but I keep hearing about it. It really is worse than IMDB? I didn't think that was possible. :docbrown:
Oh dear, I've heard that 4chan is a pretty toxic cesspool. Chernobyl even.
I've got one lunatic on imdb now following me around to different boards telling me I have atiny penis (in much more ripe language). He's obviously going all out in the last few days. I'm just ignoring the demented blowfly.

"Socks" is a really strange name for alt accounts. But it does make them sound a little silly, so at least there's that haha.
I'm glad you decided to give this place another chance. :up:

How charming :laugh:
Sorry, don't mean to laugh--that just sounds so much like the demented baboons that stalk me around there, too.:laugh:
I happen to like baboons, but not the type who follow us around on imdb, dt. He's just a mosquito who wont go away. There's another noob from there i invited here and he follows her around as well. Keeps accusing us of being lovers because we get on well.

Thanks! I'm loving it so far... lots of great thread topics to dive into...
Apologies for any misunderstandings on take 1..lol

Oh and "Socks" was short for "Sock puppet" as in, an annoying little entity that they control everything it says.
Sock puppets talk to themselves to back themselves up, dog pile, and generally behave like a nuisance.

Wait--they all act like Joby and he somehow STILL ended up banned from there? :eek:
Anyway, 4Chan sounds exhausting. We would never be able to keep up with that. :laugh:
