Little Positive Grid amp? They're pretty great, and you sound great!

Tomorrow we try to buy a new car. Then we never spend money ever again, because otherwise poverty awaits.

Fuck.

Also, new car?

I am with you. I thought it was the most good Star Trek film since Undiscovered Country and most fun since Voyage Home. Extremely solid as a comedy AND an action movie.

I only disagree with you slightly... I don't think any more of those movies could have topped this one. 😀

With any luck, I'm driving home tomorrow in a mid-sized green SUV. Please Satan, make it so.

Such a brilliant design!

It's like when you run across someone demanding a debate, and their screen name is "Pus_Nuts_69_420"

The stress of buying a new car is pretty bad.

Chicken nuggets.

Outstanding!!

The last time I was in Old San Juan, I was the first person to order from a fancy expensive bottle of whiskey. The bartender poured me a double, and himself a shot, and we both tried it for the first time. He charged me for the bottom shelf booze. WIN!

Yeah, a bowl of pho used to be $9, and now it's $16. Killing us by a thousand cuts.

LOL, okay... I'm not even 5'11" 😜

As it should be!

Which "we" do you even mean?

Too many books. I have too many books. At least 200 unread books, not counting Kindle.

Living the dream, folks. Buying a car this weekend, mostly cash. Last car we're buying until my wife dies, and then I'm selling everything we own and buying a sports car, some fake chest hair, and a gold medallion.

Holy crap.

And I'm 6'11" because I say so.

CONTEXT!!! There's nothing funny about that scene. Yeah, it's over-the-top but it is also a hopeless man who is about to go to war with no backup. It's a one-way journey into hell, and he's psyching himself up for it.

I like that part of the film because it creates a context for everything else before and after. Because there has to be an infrastructure to build all the ships and Death Stars and what-nots, and it didn't magically happen in a decade or two.

It is sort of mid-tier but looks so much worse after a 3-film streak of awesome. And then VI is also pretty great, even with a few clunky scenes. Could have left out all the prison scenes.

V is probably not as bad as we remember, but after the amazing whale one, it didn't stand a chance in hell.

What's Kirk's line? "Double dumbass on you!" or something similar? The ST II-III-IV run was, in retrospect, an amazing lightning in a bottle situation.

Ummm... nope, dude is a Nazi.

I want one... just a bit out of my price range.

So much better!!

They may have been given orders not to do that.

What's worse? Cosplay socialists, or the real deal? They're both evil.

Oh wow, my teen years.

I'm glad someone liked it. 👍

I'm trying to do this from memory... didn't Pike have a psychic companion? Charlie X? Something something Vulcan mind meld?
