My wife wants to see Wicked which I'm not not excited to see. I've never found myself ready to see a musical, but I usually don't mind them when I do. I'm not sure we'll make it to the theater this weekend though.

Regardless, in retribution, I was considering having her watch The Jackal for the first time.

Saw the Reason documentary about Argentina and Milei the other night. It was alright https://reason.com/video/2024/12/05/javier-milei-madman-or-savior/

Otherwise, chilled with some good-old Game of Thrones before bed yesterday

Beetlejuice and The Substance are both on our list to watch in the next few days.

The Jackal -- haven't seen it in ages, but man, the era of "Jack Black dying horribly but also amusingly" (with this, Mars Attacks, and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer) was short-lived but entertaining.

I watched Twisters last weekend. It wasn't terrible but not great either.

Did you like the original?

40 sats \ 3 replies \ @k00b OP 8 Dec

I did. Very memorable which is probably why they remade it. You?

128 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 8 Dec

Yes but I liked it more when it first came out. Seemed unique and the special effects were so cool backed then. I watched it again recently, a few weeks before the new one, and I still liked it but I was not wowed by it like I was almost 30 years ago.

My dad used to own the DVD of the original Twister movie. I distinctly remember the flying cow scene. I wasn't sure if they were yelling "holy cow" or not though. I found it quite funny.

Haven't seen the new one, can't judge.

The flying cow is such a famous scene.

I plan on going to watch a Hong Kong movie called The Last Dance with my wife this weekend. It's a movie about the funeral business in Hong Kong. How a funeral agent and a Taoist Priest have differences in views and believes while having to work together to transcend the souls of the dead and the souls of the living.

Thanks for the heads-up. I enjoyed the Japanese film called Departures n feel that I will enjoy The Last Dance as well

151 sats \ 0 replies \ @gnilma 8 Dec

The Departures was a masterpiece! I cried like a baby when I saw that one. I think it won best foreign film award in the 2009 Oscars. I just looked it up, that was the year Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner, winning 8 Oscars; Heath Ledger won best supporting actor as The Joker in The Dark Knight; WALL-E was the best animated film. Overall a great year for films.

I have been on a Phillip Seymoure Hoffman kick..older movies. I think he is a great actor.

My wife and I watched "Biggest Heist Ever" on Netflix. It's a documentary about the bitfinex hack.

I didn’t get into bitcoin until a few years ago and there is a LOT to catch up on. This is a great source, thanks!

I definitely wouldn't put it past bitfinex, they aren't exactly bastions of morality.

11 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 8 Dec

Check the QuadrigaCX case too, see the link I posted above, some good investigations in there.

"Biggest Heist Ever" is quite misleading, presenting those patsies as being the real "hackers". They are not, is a bullshit made up story.

I also watched the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I thought it was decent as far as reboot sequels go. A lot of that going on right now since it seems Hollywood is creatively bankrupt..

Stacker News!!! Is there anything else more amusing? Lately, movies have just been real downers to watch, so I gave up on the new ones. The old ones are great, though.

Any old ones in particular?

215 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 8 Dec

Yes, I like sci-fi movies a lot so I have the theatrical releases of all the Star Wars movies, except the last three. :( I also have the theatrical and extended releases of the Matrix and LOTR. I like watching them in the order of the books, though I think the Hobbit is overdone and has too much that wasn’t in the book, but LOTR was done very well. Kubrick films are also pretty good.

Yesterday I watched a Korean movie named "Forgotten". It was a fantastic thriller and mystery film, and i love it.

This week I'll be watching "A Beautiful Mind." It was mentioned recently in a podcast, and it's one of those movies that I've seen a few times, but since I'm a sleepy guy, I didn't understand many things. Today, my new power (The Bitcoiner Perspective) helps me better understand movies, series, or documentaries that I've seen before knowing about Bitcoin and that talk about the banking or fiduciary system in which we live.
