    I loved On Writing! Its a quick read, too. I'm going to read Stand by Me next, I think. He should do a crossover, The Body.. hmm.

    it isn't scary like IT or Pet Sematary, though -- at least for me. :)

    I always thought of King as Pet Sematary and other 'scary' books, but in reality, most of his books are nothing like that.

    I've only read a handful of his books, but The Shining, 11.22.63, End of Watch, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, and Cujo are all great without that horror aspect I thought all of his books had.

    I didn't finish The Stand. I was out-pandemic'd at the time. :)

    This last episode was insane. Bastion is bad ass. Also, I hope and pray that Marvel goes further and gives us a Daredevil animated series in this style --- or at least something else in this...

    yup. but for sub groups like books.fanfic, etc β€” there isn’t enough of this content to necessitate something new.

    welp, another week where I was supposed to watch The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), but fuck that -- it sounds like a downer and its long. So instead, I decided to rewatch Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Its all as one movie, there's an animated sequence for O-Ren Ishii, the Crazy 88 fight is in color, and some other extras. It supposedly matches Tarantino's own cut he shows at the New Bev.

    Anyway, its awesome and the only way to get it is piracy. Look for MiLKMAN in the rls name -- that's the right one.

    oh my god... so bad. I really like him for Cats Does Countdown, but man, that special just didn't work. He should stick to TV. No shame in that.

    no use making a group if there isn't a demand, though. I mostly read fiction, but I have very little substance when it comes to my opinions on it.

    yeah, its a straight split like doing ffmpeg -i coolvideo.mkv -ss 01:23:45 -t 00:05:00 -c copy fiveMinutePart.mkv. with FFMPEG, I think you need to export the chapters with ffprobe first or...

    I love Dave. I've been following his career since the days of The Guilty / Coolidge. It is nice to hear... everything come into it wrt synth etc. I'd murder for another Headphones record, though....

    I hope this album goes huge and he makes a lot of money.

    man, i love Dave -- but... he's starting to sound the same with every new single. I like it, but Dave has definitely settled on a sound for a time where Jurado is still cranking out stuff all over...

    for CLI, you'd do mkvmerge -o out.mkv --split chapters:all coolvideo.mkv and it would spit them out as out-001.mkv etc
