Skateboarding.
I've been a skateboarder for 35 years.
Slowed down a bunch in the past 3 years, but I still get out every once in a while.

Just picked up the new Lung album and it's heavier than I expected.

Hard to believe this sound is created by only a cello and drums (and pedals galore)

Lung - everlasting nothingness

"Look I have been with men, Several to be exact"

This is an absolute delight for all the wrong reasons.
Definitely requires the right mood and a little patience, but I loved it.

So inept it's wonderful

I could never classify this as "good" or "a movie"
and I have no idea how this director convinced his lead "actor" friend to simulate sex with a puppet for a 10 minute sequence

However,
I'm glad movies like this exist.
A dude with a big idea, little skill and less money makes it work

This one is low budget fun.
Drags a bit in the first third, but once it gets going, you've never seen a serial killer in the desert with grenades quite like this

I've seen Tales from the QuadeaD Zone, so I know what to expect from Mr Turner,

Ooof,
It's one of THOSE Hammer flicks.
You think it's got all the right parts to be interesting, but turns into boring melodrama

Thanks,
