I like drama, scifi or dark comedies from 50's-70s. Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, Psycho, North by Northwest, Rear Window, Once Upon a Time in the West, 12 Angry Men, Inherit the Wind (may be before the 50's), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (70s version), The Fly, Chinatown, A Bridge Too Far...

Hi all, I'm looking for a good car stereo display system (~7", like an iPad display). I've checked Amazon but it seems the selections come with things I don't want (ex. external cams). I just want a responsive, sharp display, no payment plan, something I could connect to my android. Looking to...

I would expect it to run based on articles and videos I've watched seeing the game run smoothly using similar components to mine.

MSI Laptop GL65 Leopard, i7, 10750H GTX 1660 Ti Been trying to get MGS4 running through RPCS3. Almost had it. The narrative began about war and it showed the opening scene when suddenly the game froze. A flashing icon showing a disc with a question mark on it appeared in the upper left of the...

Thanks for the information.

I'm looking for a pc (desk or lap) that can handle apps like Maya and Autocad with ease. Gaming pc's have a lot of power, but I assume there must be a difference between gaming and 3D modeling. I'm using Blender right now but the Cycles render engine slows it down, especially when doing particle...

Sure is, and I just found out (blew my mind) she has two kids and is going to have a third. The image they present of her is certainly not one of being a mother. And the dude who did the deed really ain't no looker either.

She was hot, no doubt. There's something about her looks and how she filled out the outfit. Totally cheesy show but she was nice to look at.

Watched WW84 recently and, wow, can I say "what the hell was that?" Terrible. A plot based on magical wish rocks? Really no main villain but a couple of disgruntled, low self-esteem people and a sappy ending. CGI fights with too much CGI. Confusing "back from the dead" boyfriend when it didn't...

I'll check into it. Thanks for the info.

Good advice. My concern is in one of the vids I watched the person used a hair dryer to loosen up the exterior glue seal. When I realized this thing had glue in it, I thought things could get messy. Plus I wasn't too keen on using a hair dryer. The heat could warp any plastic in it or ruin the...

I have an iPad Air, about four years old. The battery can't hold a charge for long anymore. Apple wants +$200 to put a new battery in, of which I refuse b/c I could do it myself if I knew how to open the tablet the right way. So my question is, does anyone here have a standard (best, safest)...

I sometimes hear these urban myths about pc's, such as recent one that leaving a charged laptop plugged in will ruin the battery. Is this true? Thank you.

Ok, I'll probably skip this whole thing then. This actually is not my pc but my parents, who use it mainly for printing and internet. They don't need a graphics card but I wanted to boost the system, and I use Blender and Unity on their pc (2 TB HDD excellent for saving big graphics files). The...
