Kingdom of Heaven

Posted by HubbaBubba on 8/12/26 at 5:37 pm
I started watching the director's (Ridley Scott) cut of Kingdom of Heaven last night, a movie which I'd never experienced. I started watching in my small 'getaway from everyone else' spot in the house and got 20 minutes in and decided this deserves watching on a bigger screen and much better sound system.

I think I'm in for a visual treat. Hope it's not disappointing but I've enjoyed many Ridley Scott movies. Blade Runner being my favorite, which did poorly at the box office but which went on to become a cult classic and define modern science fiction. So I'm thinking it might be good. Certainly the tales of Baelin are a part of history and so it will be interesting to watch.

Anyone tried going to Costco lately?

Jeets and Hijabs everywhere. And they are rude and will not move out of the way, like some power play instead of being socially polite and aware. They won't move to the side in the parking lots, either and they take every member of their family and clog up the aisles. They park right in front of the entrance to load up, blocking cars behind them and the people walking in and out.

Just done with this place. Not worth the hassle and Texas is becoming a third world state.

Those presidents, except maybe Reagan, were part of the problem. Trump exposed it all. That's why.

Well, it is certainly easier to go with flat than it is to learn how to actually cut, cope and install decorative moldings. Not much art to flat. Just clean lines.

I shared the thread link. You don't want to get involved.

That's it. :cheers:
Honestly, any country that assassinated a sitting US president deserves a response proportional to taking out the leader if the free world. If that's dropping nuke on Tehran, then that's what it is, but the new president should make it clear that the only way it doesn't happen is the immediate and complete surrender and full dismantling of their military similar to what we did with Japan. The time to negotiate would be over. It's either that, or this...

Motorcycle recovery thread

Several years back there was a successful saga of the recovery of a stone motorcycle.

Does anyone have the link? I'd like to share story with someone who has a similar situation going on.
Having been there, ain't noboby trying to go through that. It's an extreme wilderness of almost a million acres , no water sources once you get past the 128 miles of river running through canyons, and past that is more desert and nothing else but rattlesnakes and scorpions. I can't imagine trying to come across and walk to a town without dying from exposure.

That has to be on private land, and the clients of the range need to voice their disapproval by refusing to use the range and go somewhere else. There may be legitimate reasons behind it, but if that's the county's doing, that's bullshite.

The Dems are a mess. WTF are they thinking bringing in communists? Carville may be an angry troll-faced a-hole, but he's right that the party is fricking up.

Thune better figure this out. Kennedy, too. They are going to do away with the filibuster if/when they grab power and it won't be pretty.
SIAP.

Sanders, in an interview with CNN’s Abby Phillip, responded to remarks Carville made over the weekend about leaving the Democratic Party

"If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party,” Sanders said, referring to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed

Okay, this took some real balls by Sanders, considering he's not a Democrat. :lol:

I see a schism developing in the party. :thup:

My question still is, is this type of base trim, 6" Colonial going to age well? If I put down flat, is it just trendy at the moment or is flat timeless? At some point do you see this colonial 6" trim like I put down as being back 'in-style'?

Sorry for the delay. Lots of work going on here. Yes, that's ceramic tile. Wasn't sure about working with something that large, but it turned out nice and really wasn't as difficult as I'd assumed it to be.

IMHO, if outdoors on your eaves, and multi-colored options, the govee lights cheapen the look of a house and make it look like something you see on the Asian shopping stores.
