- B for the time -- nm - AJRimmer Aug 22, 20:02
- A+, but I haven't seen it since the theater... -- nm - Ender Aug 22, 19:56

  - for me, the scariest part was waiting for the adjust -- nm - crash davis Aug 22, 20:04
- B+ -- nm - Krusty Aug 22, 18:54
- C+ Grading the film, it’s a rather ho-hum horror film. It was the marketing that would get the high grade. -- nm - Qale Aug 22, 18:52
- B+ -- nm - Dano Aug 22, 18:49
- B for creating its genre cause the rest of it stunk -- nm - crash davis Aug 22, 18:47 1

This evening people are getting rerouted everywhere *except* New Jersey -- (link) - ty97 Aug 22, 18:21
OK, here goes. The Rehearsal, S1E1. -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 18:11 8
- Gotta say, bar trivia in NYC is bush league! -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 18:51
- So, look, 5 minutes in, I knew the premise from the trailer, and still when Nathan told us, I was still “WHAT?!” This shit is mental. -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 18:29 6
  - You’ve barely scratched the surface of how mental it gets. -- nm - Dano Aug 22, 18:32 5

Reminder: I still hate the entire fucking Sony Playstation ecosystem. - David Aug 22, 18:00 14
- I had zero issue transferring my ps4 saves. I just had to make sure they were on the same network and it handled the rest. -- nm - Ender Aug 22, 19:10
- If I have this right... - David Aug 22, 18:09 7
  - Eh. Good enough. I got one save transferred. - The Allfather Aug 22, 21:05
  - Sounds right. -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 18:32
  - lol. -- nm - Qale Aug 22, 18:25
  - That's ridiculous. -- nm - Krusty Aug 22, 18:17 3
    - Yeah, they have an issue with architecture. The partition of the HD for PS4 and PS5 saves are 100% separate, for some reason. - Marlowe Aug 22, 18:18 2
      - That they didn't make this much simpler and quicker looks terrible. All of those hoops he has to jump through is too much. -- nm - Krusty Aug 22, 18:24 1
        
        Yeah. I knew it ahead of time and I had the PS4 version downloaded already, so it took all of 30 seconds. - Marlowe Aug 22, 18:28
- But their exclusives and soft exclusives run laps around the competition. - Marlowe Aug 22, 18:05 4
  - We part ways on this issue. I looked at Sony's exclusives to try to download some stuff earlier. I only found Last of Us, which I didn't even like. -- (edited) - David Aug 22, 18:10 3
    - God of War, Horizon, and the window for Final Fantasy beg to differ. But then again, I've never been much of a shooter kind of person. - Marlowe Aug 22, 18:16 2
      - Not to mention Ghost of Tsushima, which may be the best game released in the last couple of years, and the Spider-Man games. If you like open world. - Marlowe Aug 22, 18:25 1
        
        The only thing I care about from this list is Final Fantasy, which is why we got the system. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 22, 19:50
Beer thru a Brat does not make Beer Brats -- (link) - budice Aug 22, 17:59
So was Star Trek Lower Decks going for the most obnoxious character in the history of television as a medium? - Jovian Aug 22, 17:52 9

- It's your massive loss if you quit. -- nm - David Aug 22, 18:12

  - Did Billy Eichner die? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 18:08
- I just started rewatching, and her character is raaaging drunk in her first appearance. It lets them set a tone. - Beryllium Aug 22, 17:57
- keep going. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 17:56 1
  - Oh I shall. I love other three main characters -- nm - Jovian Aug 22, 18:00
There is word the CW has been sold, but I can't find any confirmation -- nm* - . Aug 22, 17:51 4

  - Yup. NextStar is the new owner, and they've made some...curious claims. -- nm - David Aug 22, 18:01 2
    - What, like that Strawberry is the best Starburst? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 18:06
    - "Hey, HBO! Hold our beer!" -- nm - TWuG Aug 22, 18:05
Also, the search was two weeks ago, does he think prosecutors haven’t already gone through most if not all of the materials they took? -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 22, 17:07 1
- Maybe he assumes they read at the same speed he does. -- nm - Dano Aug 22, 17:16
Bery, no, I've never watched The Gifted. -- nm - crash davis Aug 22, 16:50 1
- It was pretty decent. Also, it was X-Men. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 16:53

    - they are purveyors of ice cream! -- nm - amanda Aug 22, 16:37 2
      - And fries? -- nm - Ender Aug 22, 17:51 1
