    Sorry missed it
  2. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    For some reason I just randomly thought of Brotherman Bill

    Along the same NSFW lines: "saying that 'Die Antwoord were the South African Little Big.'" I would rather put it vice versa, no?
  4. The Next President

    This article raises some serious questions... http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump-putin-yes-it-s-really-a-thing
  5. The Next President

    That's a great explanation!
  6. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    Finally managed to catch up with Game of Thrones. Watched the whole season in one sitting. Now I kind of want to go back and read some opinions on it, but to me it felt like the first half of it was dragging along. In general, the whole Song of Ice and Fire series has been dragging on for so long that I really don't care about "what happens next" or "which of the main character dies next". There could be a hundred variants it could go, each one valid, who cares? It feels like even G.R.R. Martin doesn't get to say what's canonical any more. Although of course he can by publishing the next book. The whole part of houses swearing loyalties to more important houses again and then swearing to another and then back, is getting old. Just fucking get to the grand battle between good and evil that has been building up and stop dawdling. I guess the next season might get to that, but then again, maybe not quite yet.
  7. The Next President

    Maybe I just don't understand US politics &| trolls enough, but I don't get why that article by Laurie Pennie is being linked everywhere and what's the big reveal in it? It seems like it could have been written better without just labelling and insta-judging everyone around her, even if she went "behind enemy lines" and some of them deserve those labels.
  8. The Next President

    I'm starting to believe that Trump is actually going to getting elected as president and I want to throw up.
  9. Ghostbusters (2016)

    I'm ready for some Bustin', but looks like I'll have to wait two weeks.
  10. Idle Workouts

    Someone had to create this oxymoronic thread, might as well be me. I guess this thread is for physical exercise advice or something. So, I started working out regularly about a month ago. At first I wanted to do more and more until I was doing at least 1 hour of exercise every day, sometimes 2,5 hours. I managed to do this with only 1 day of break for two weeks but then I was really tired for the next week. And now I used easter to get 2 days rest without any exercise, just laying on the couch. What's the best way to take breaks from exercise? My primary goal at the moment is to lose weight, but I'm afraid at least half the things I do have me going above the fat burning heart rate.

    Seems like a good time to listen to this again
  12. Idle Thumbs Readers Slack & Discord

    Whats the team URL I need to enter into slack app?
  13. This forum is weird (Look a new topic!)

    Where was the info about Slack? I'm using slack regularly now, but forgot how to access the idle thumbs one.

    Steam recommended me: Hook, LYNE, Mini Metro based on my Hexcells adventures. Anyone tried these?
  15. Movie/TV recommendations

    Am I becoming allergic to color movies? Just saw Raging Bull and it is the first Scorsese movie that I really liked without any qualifications. I recently updated my favourites list and the top 10 has only 2 color movies now: The Road Warrior and Fury Road. And maybe the latter doesn't even really count... Sometimes I find black & white movies much easier to watch, color seems kind of distracting in some cases.

    I'm not totally comfortable with liking Azaelia Banks any more due to her attitude, but some of her new stuff sounds pretty good. https://soundcloud.com/slay-azealia

    Fury Road Black & Chrome is coming! http://www.empireonline.com/movies/mad-max-fury-road/mad-max-fury-road-black-white-version-way/
  19. Movie/TV recommendations

    Saw Amer, an earlier film by the same directors who made The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears. Although perhaps visually less impressive, I actually like this one so much more because it focuses more on the main character, which makes all the other syrrealistic elements work much better, and also the slasher elements are only present in a span of 5 minutes or so... and I just feel very uncomfortable watching slashers.

    Just finished it. Man, what a devastating ending. Really great show! This show is said by many to be a cross between TV & theater, makes me think I should actually go to theater sometimes... but I don't know, maybe it's not for me, I don't enjoy all the things in theater other than the play itself (e.g. dressing up), so this format kind of works much better for me. In Estonia we actually had a lot of this kind of televised theater kind of thing when I was growing up, just that the length was normally more like 2 or 3 hours, and it was more like someone just put a static camera instead of the audience, but this show actually makes good use of cinematography.
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    I watched the 3rd episode (of Horace & Pete) yesterday, it was really good. I think I'm going to like this miniseries a lot. It reminds me of Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage in some ways, just with a more modern realistic sensibility and more characters.
  22. Movie/TV recommendations

    I heart Mommy a lot! Still haven't watched the others. Has anyone else started watching Horace & Pete (with Louis CK and Steve Buscemi)? I heard it was already cancelled (only 1 season was made), but the first episode was rather promising, although it has one really annoying "I'm not racist"-racist & "this is how it's been done for 100 years" old guy character.

    An Honest Liar is a very good documentary about The Amazing Randi.
  24. Hadn't realized it was out already. I will likely get it at some point, having really liked the first one, including the abstract add-on.

    Fuck, don't read the IMDB page for that Lions movie, it spoils the entire film in one sentence. I hadn't even figured it out after watching.
