  1. I had a bit of time today, so I was able to watch Deathdream right when it popped into the Dropbox. Didn't have any idea of what to expect as I'd never heard of it before.

    For the first 10 or 15 minutes I was worried that I would be in for a really shitty zombie movie, but it wasn't like that at all. It played out nicely, and I especially liked the performance of John Marley (the dad). Andy was also really fucked up and creepy. His face paired with his clothing worked well to contribute to his odd vibe. My one nitpick with the flow of the movie was its timescale. I couldn't be sure of how much time was passing since so much stuff happens within a short amount of time, and it seemed ridiculous to me. This was particularly true around the events of the doctor's death. I can't really bag on any of the effects or sounds used since this is a decently old movie with what looks to be a tiny budget. Nothing seemed very creative regarding the cinematography.

    I thought that the movie was at least in part a commentary on PTSD, thus revealing its anti-war stance. The solider returns home all fucked up and this leads to tension and breakdown within the family, etc. The ending was really unexpected for me since he just buries himself after doing all this shit to keep him alive. I guess this was the writers' way of saying that re-assimilation into society is extremely trying for many veterans, and that death is not an unthinkable alternative. Dunno. Would like to hear others' thoughts.

    By the way, how do we know when it's out turn to upload a movie?

  2. warm shave or cold shave?

    my skin feels a lot better when i cold shave. my guess is that it doesn't open up all your pores and make your skin soft and susceptible to the blade. shave is real clean with the cold water. saves time too.

  4. Selling a pair of Eternal 811 BG One-Wash sz. 30 jeans with 1 boiling soak (in addition to the BiG one wash). I've had them for 6 months, but the fit was a bit too big for me so they only have ~50 wears. They show normal fades on the back pockets but the baggy fit on the leg means nearly no honeycombs or front fades. I should also note that the leather patch got warped during a boiling soak.

    Asking $110 $95 $85 OBO shipped conus (paypal).

    BiG measurements

    waist 30

    front rise 10.25

    back rise 14.75

    upper thigh 11

    knee 8.5

    leg opening 8

    inseam 30.5 (chainstitch hemmed)
