Hmmm.....not even an honorable mention for my tied spot? Okay, okay.

Just kidding. Funny how often I still check back in this place to see if it is back in business. I sure do miss the days of a busy Racketboy forum.

I legitimately think I would drop dead if I tried this. I have always lifted pretty regular and biked a bit. My cardio has been a joke ever since I did flooring for a decade during my teens and early twenties, I tore my back and knees up pretty nicely. My back recovered mostly, my knees not so much....

I burned out on writing movie reviews on a daily basis on my blog, and I haven't actually sat down and put my thoughts about a film since...well, June, I guess. But let me recommend you something: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7b/Ready_or_Not_2019_film_poster.jpg You. Yes, you. You ri...

Any one watched the 50s version of House of Wax and House on Haunted Hill? Wondering if they are worth the watch since I will be watching the more modern versions of them. I like House on Haunted Hill. I remember seeing the remake when it was released and not really being impressed. The original I ...

own a region free (hard modded) Sony BD player that can work in multiple regions because the power supply is entirely external. I haven't updated it, although the seller claims I could, no problems playing anything yet. Here in the states they are cheap enough to own a couple if you are worried abo...

That can be a matter of print runs for a given title, and happened with DVDs too. You'll see prices spike on the secondhand market until there's another run done, or a new edition. Thing is, those can also be regional, so you may actually find EU releases/editions that never hit the US. Looks to me...

Glad to hear about the change, jp1. I changed jobs almost four years ago, taking an almost 35% pay cut. I left the old job because of the stress. I was completely burnt out, had been for years, and only realized it when the stress started manifesting itself physically in more obvious ways. My curre...

I've been feeling my age in full force this past year and a half or so. Of my three kids, all have reached "adulthood" except the youngest who is sixteen now. There has been a real disconnect/generational gap to deal with on all three fronts. I've had the first death of a close family rela...

Last theater visit was Midsommar in a mostly empty theater. The movie itself was amazing and I hope it did better elsewhere than it presumably did in my area. Such a cool way to explore themes of depression, anxiety, and struggling relationships wrapped in a beautiful little horror movie. The gore w...

Yeah, 'don't start a duplicate thread,' was definitely thrown around a lot, in the past. I'm sure I was guilty of it, too. I can't even remember the last time I've noticed anyone saying that, though. (Actually, I do remember some threads not too long ago about recent news in video games, where more...
