Dark City didn't get enough attention. That weird ass movie is awesome.

Loved Dark City! Flipping great watch. I still remember seeing it when it came out while in college. My housemate/bandmate started calling me Mr. Horn after we saw it.

The boost tuner for my car only served to whet my appetite. I put a deposit down today on a full ECU tune, larger heat exchanger, and coolant expansion tank.

If you want deep blacks its a great way to show it off. If I can get the 4K for a decent price I'd love to get it if it's in the format. Jennifer Connelly is another reason to watch.

Grrr that's one of those movies where "I can't remember it, but I remember I enjoyed it!"

I know I saw Dark City ages ago and remember liking it, but that's about all I remember.

It arrived. Granted about everything in this office is knew except for the inexpensive 2nd hand turntable and my old Marantz HD DAC 1. Gotta say about 3 hours in and I am loving the Yamaha. Eventually I will experiment in digitizing my old vinyl with that turntable and see how I can get that to turn out. Last year's Samsung Q70 I specifically bought to use for work in I have to keep so much open and monitor so much. Multiple monitor was frustrating. It was my first 4k TV now I am all about 4k HDR. New do it yourself desk from https://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/ they give you the ability to design your own to meet your needs. New Studio 570s which work surprising well near field. New JBL 550 subs which integrate really well the 530s and 570s. Tons of new 4k ultra movies a few sitting on the desk. This is still a work in progress and I may add on to this room or add on a completely new room eventually. We could certainly use it as right now we both work from home no intentions of returning to the office and we both occupy the 2 spare rooms. Recently my daughter told me she needed to talk to me it was important. I said "how much money do you need?". She said "why are you asking me that?". I said "you can not come back home I turned your bedroom in to an office/game room/ media room and I am not giving it up". She laughed and told me she was engaged. I thanked her.

It came out a good while ago and wasn't really hyped then. Pretty original and not bad at all.

I'm about to get some tunes for my truck too. 500RWHP sounds pretty good on a stock-ish vehicle.

Then I just need to do suspension and tires so I can actually enjoy going off road.

Darn those are nice. Maybe one day... Enjoy them. For now I'm using a recliner and it's great, but no cup holder. Arg. I guess I can get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088PHNQLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_sm_apa_fabc_ND0EHGGT2RG3ZHSBW2B6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks man! Recliners are great. I only had a chair before. Right in the sweet spot. Was in heaven.

Haha me too. I had a chair too. It's so much comfortable like never. Got mine like new at my Thrift store threw it in my trunk. Man it was a bit tough getting it in my room, but got it in. Threw a bedsheet on for protection.

So I've recently discovered a new band, "Jinjer", and am quite taken with them. I just received one of their cds.

They're a prog metal band and incorporate a lot of different genres ranging from reggae to jazz to metalcore. Their singer is really unique. She has a beautiful voice, but can switch to a death metal growl unlike any female artist I've heard before. It's not just her tho, the whole band is really talented. This is the video that made it to my radar and got me interested to start. Just wait until you get to the chorus before you click away and you'll see what I mean.

It's been a long time since I've bought a cd from a new band. I'm glad I stumbled across these guys.

Effect processing is a wonder these days. It's almost like the antithesis of AutoTune!

Nope, minimal or no effects. She can do that live, on stage and switch back and forth effortlessly. I watched a couple of interviews with her and she talks about how long and hard she worked to be able do it. She's legit.

It'll be more like 400+ ish HP and 500-ish ft-lbs at the rear wheels. Still will be a ton of fun, and my first car to ever see a dyno.
