Yeah, sometimes it's inevitable to deal with the unsavory types, and it's really uncomfortable and annoying.

We all deserve to take a break, man.

It's weird how the more you say no, the more some people will keep insisting.

So I just watched "V/H/S Halloween" - www.imdb.com/title/tt3767...

Pfffft, man, this one's one of the bad ones, especially when compared to last year's. The best segment doesn't even get past a 6. Very lame overall. 3/10

So I just (re)watched "Snakes on a Plane" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0417...

Haven't watched this one in like...what, almost 20 years? It's still as campy and goofy as it ever was. 6/10

Odd, Telegram allows NSFW so long as the users are adults.

If the "I am a Human" button isn't working trying disabling anything that may be obfuscating your connection. Turn off your VPN, adblock, etc. That should make it appear.

Same thing happened to me about 3 weeks ago or so.

Best you can do is wait until either they get back to you or your account gets deleted and you make a new one.

You should also consider asking your ISP to change your IP address, in case you've been blacklisted.

The Red Letter Media guys are great. They're not flawless but they don't have to, they just do their thing and are hugely entertaining.

Same.

I read the first book, and was rather underwhelmed by it. However I thought it had potential to get better, so I never fully dismissed it.

However the movie is rubbish. They should've waited more before adapting it.

I've also re-watched "K-19: The Widowmaker" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0267...

This one's still very good. The slow first half is compensated by a harrowing second half. Plus everyone does a pretty good job in it. 7/10

So I just re-watched "The Hurt Locker" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0887...

I think I get it a little better. But I still don't get it. It's boring and overrated. Looks good tho. 5/10.

I just re-watched (final re-watch for the day) "The Vast of Night" - www.imdb.com/title/tt6803...

Excellent film. How much you can do with a small budget and lots of ingenuity. It also has one of my favorite shots ever in a movie. 9/10.
