    IMQ #2 - People in Film - Most Overrated Director

    I couldn't make it through Sixth Sense. Tried 3 times and fell asleep on the first. Still haven't seen past the first 20min or so of it. I liked Signs and The Village until the last 20min when then it got silly. And, the one with people jumping off roofs and randomly dying. I've tried powering...

    IMQ #2 - People in Film - Most Overrated Director

    Well, now that you've got some criteria it makes more sense. Bay isn't even in the discussion of what 'overrated' is. How about Shyamalan? Though he might be the same as Bay..

    IMQ #2 - People in Film - Most Overrated Director

    It's a subjective based question to begin with, so we can agree to disagree ;) To me, there's nothing about a Bay movie that stands out. When was the last time you said to yourself, "Self, I want to watch a Micheal Bay movie." Most of his movies are one-and-done watchings. I think a good...

    IMQ #2 - People in Film - Most Overrated Director

    But doesn't that ultimately fall back on the director? He's the one putting the script to film.

    Internet Connectivity

    What kind of speeds are you getting on speedtest.net and how old is your wifi router? Non-dual band (2.4 & 5G) routers can struggle if you have a lot of devices connected. Just about all wireless devices use the 2.4 frequency - garage door openers, tv remotes, and so on. Do you know what...

    IMQ #2 - People in Film - Most Overrated Director

    Sure his movies make money, but they're just 'blow 'em up' movies for the most part. I can't think of one of his movies that would be considered a "classic." Maybe The Rock, but for the most part they're the types of movies that people complain about with Hollywood. He's not a bad director, but...

    IMQ #1 - People in Film - Favorite Director

    This question should be "Who is the 2nd favorite director." It's Hitchcock and then everyone else.

    Internet Connectivity

    FYI, 5Ghz is faster speed, but shorter range. 2.4Ghz is slower speeds but further range. Are your walls concrete/plaster or drywall? If you have crappy wifi it might just be the modem itself. In which case a dual band wifi router might suffice. My house is roughly the same size and while the...

    Meteor Shower

    I used to go camp on the rim and watch it. Definitely worth going someplace away from city lights to watch.

    Cord Cutters

    https://www.roku.com/roku-tv I know the TCL brand has it because I got my mom one of those. She doesn't use the Roku, but it's on there. Or search Amazon for "Roku TV"

    Going to Cards game - anyone have to eat gluten free?

    I want to say there are GF options, but I don't recall any specific vendors being solely GF. Those options might be fairly limited on the main concourses. You might have better luck in the Club level since there are more and better food options there - if you have a ticket for it. BRR's advice...

    COMCAST Trying to Thwart Disney Aquisiton of 21st Centrury FOX

    Just as some feared Disney would saturate Star Wars to death, the fear of Disney-ification of Fox might be right around the corner. https://www.wsj.com/articles/its-getting-awkward-at-foxs-movie-studio-as-disney-deal-looms-1533906010

    Cord Cutters

    Call them and talk to the customer retention department - not the regular customer service. You'll have to jump through some hoops, but it might be worth it. I got them to knock about $25 off my monthly bill by agreeing to another 2yrs and didn't have to change my package. The basic customer...

    Who will be the next James Bond?

    Yeah I think it's been off and on since Craig was chosen. Idris would be great, but I think Chiwetel Ejiofor would also make a good Bond.

    Official Arizona Weather Thread

    Got 1/4" last night. Odd though because there wasn't much water puddled up like i would have expected with that much. Plenty more trees around the area KO'd.

    Explore the Moon in 4k

    No doubt. The tech advancements since then make the trip much, much faster and safer. Likely because of budget priorities and the ISS. Looks like NASA is leaving low Earth orbit and letting the private sector have it. With the new budget there is a push to get back to the moon...

    DCU: Aquaman

    If DCCU wants to survive they should probably give Supe and Batman a rest with solo movies. Bring some of the other JLers or even lesser known characters to the big screen. WW and Aquaman are nice, but enough with Superman and Batman already.
