I still have not one, but two clocks in my house with actual hands that need to be set manually...[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]I don't know. It's an ensemble piece full of wonderful performances, especially Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman, and Ellen Burstyn. Naturalistic in tone, of course it is a zillion miles from [i]"Moonlighting"[/i]. Its closest cinematic cousin may be [i]Hud[/i], another Texas-set drama filmed in black-and-white adapted from a Larry McMurtry novel.[/quote]

[quote=John-Connor]I liked the Moonlighting series back in the day and quite a few films starring Jeff Bridges, why am I hesitant to watch The Last Picture Show?[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=doubledenim]Maybe I should have said, Dolores conveys menace better than anything I've seen in the [i]Terminator[/i] series. Plus, maybe the [i]T[/i] series only hope of being relevant again is to change course from their failed formula.[/font][/quote]

Ah, that makes more sense (though I'd still argue that the villains from the first two [i]Terminator[/i] movies are more menacing than her).

I still have to give [i]The Sarah Connor Chronicles[/i] a proper go - I watched maybe an episode and a half before getting sidetracked and never got back into it, but I've heard good enough things and there is a certain novelty to seeing the franchise actually take on a serialised narrative (even though it's arguably compromised by mid-2000s network TV standards).[/quote]

[quote=Citizen Rules][quote=John McClane]I just loaded up MX Linux onto my old ThinkPad X61. Fastest Linux distro I have used in a long while. Breathed even more life into this 13 year old laptop. This bad boy just won't die.[/quote]
That's impressive that MX runs so fast on your old Thinkpad, especially as MX Linux is described as mid weight. You must have the default Xfce desktop? What's your ram and CPU ghz? I'm curious as I had considered using MX myself.[/quote]

I still have about six that I have to change manually. It was fun last night, though, watching several digital clocks go from 1:59 straight to 3:00. :)[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Even knowing I would have been apart of the 2008 troop surge had I enlisted right out of high school I still feel I missed out not serving.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Plus it has the added benefit of being able to create snapshots.[/quote]
