    Goddammit! I got so worked up about Meghan Trainor that my original They Live post got the iconic quote wrong!

    “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

    I put “KISS ass” and forgot about the bubble. A Freudian slip? Who knows. An easy mistake to make when it’s late, you have a migraine creeping up on you, you’re upset by the premature demise of a wrestler in a cult movie and you’re enraged by the mindless witterings of a popstrel.

    Please forgive me.

    Btw, note the books on the stand – Edgar Cayce On ESP and Two Of A Kind: The Hillside Stranglers.

    RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper

    TV Shananigans

    81JFOMb8y1S._SL1500_

    I’ve had this Mitsubishi WD-65735 65-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV for several years (six? I think six, yes) and it’s always been a little janky, with some overscan issues and taking several seconds to change from input to input or channel to channel. It’s always been just good enough to not replace, always been a great TV, so the minor issues that it’s had haven’t really weighted on me. That being said, it was time to replace my $75 wal-mart sorta surround sound system with something that was actually dolby certified and could handle all the latest gizmos and formats that are floating around my living room (usb music, banana connectors, HMDI 4k, 3d, etc etc) I eventually settled on a Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver:

    This is a very very good receiver. It pushes the speakers I had previously with gusto and the hook up was as simple as plugging in the newly installed banana clip speaker wires and powering it all up. Excellent purchase and I was very happy with the results. For a while. I had it set up for about a week, and started to notice that after it was turned off it would make random clicking noises, the same exact type of noise it makes when it turns on or off, nothing too loud or exciting, but enough to wake you up if you’re trying to nap off a hangover on the couch. Around this time though, the wife and I started painting the living room from a nasty renters beige to a nice home-owners green, so it was moved to the middle of the room and leave it unplugged for a while. After we moved everything back to where it was going to live and we were sitting around the clicking was getting on my nerves, so I figured I’d go all out and try to figure out what the issues was.

    A brief amount of google-fu led me no where, other than people talking about blown capacitors or fuses, and I was pretty sure that there wasn’t anything actually broken on it as it was performing very well. Remember I mentioned that my TV had some issues? Apparently it has something known as “HDMI CEC“, which allows the TV to control HDMI devices and HDMI devices to control the TV. Apparently some manufacturers didn’t use the industry spec though and the interaction between my Mitsubishi TV and my Sony Receiver was causing the receiver to turn on, then immediately turn back off every 30-90 seconds. The kicker was that turning this off on just the TV wasn’t enough, I had to turn it off on the receiver as well, and now my living room is click free.

    The Divergent Series: Insurgent review

    Tris and Four race to unlock the truth about the past in this star-powered, action-packed second adventure from the DIVERGENT series.

    Man am I happy I waited for this to be out of the theaters, I would have been disappointed to have paid money to watch this completely uninteresting and formulaic film that had nary a moment of real dramatic tension.  Apparently the world is in chaos and teeters on the edge of oblivion, but it’s mostly about knowing glances, spoken love and hot people standing around looking hot with big future guns that they only shoot when absolutely necessary and usually with no blood.  Normally having hot people in a film can somewhat distract (and Shailene Woodley is smoking hot in Insurgent) but it wasn’t enough to capture my attention. Maybe I need more teen angst in my life to really grok this type of film, but really, my adult angst is enough.

    The Birth Of Patsy Stone

    pstone.jpg (318 KB)

    Back at the beginning of the last decade of the 20th century, Joanna Lumley finally revealed to the world the natural comedy genius that she’d been hiding behind her looks and cut glass accent. It was only on reaching middle age that she could finally cut loose, and with insane gusto, sent herself up on Ruby Wax’s (co writer of Ab Fab) show. The rest is history…
