HWNDU: IV (How they did it) Really, 4 Chan? This video shows us how much effort was put into the Liverpool He Will Not Divide Us capture. What is funny is knowing that Shia and company watched 4 Chan to see if they would take the flag. I reported that they captured the flag, but they didn't. They left and the stream was cut off way before then. Shia does have some good news though. Those assault charges were dropped .   

RIP Richard Hatch I grew up watching the old Battlestar Galactica episodes on Saturdays and loving every minute. His Apollo character was always the straight hero type. Make no mistake he was the hero of the show more or less. I was a little miffed they wrote (or forgotten) about his character in Galactica 1980. Though it is kind of implied that he was killed off between the two series. Hatch was in everything in the TV realm during the 70s and 80s. ( CHiPs Fantasy Island Murder, She Wrote ) He was in an episode of T.J. Hooker which co-starred William Shatner. Heck, he was in Baywatch. I know most of the younger people remember him from the newer BSG show. I was never a huge fan of that show, but I liked what I saw of his character. He also wrote a lot of BSG stories based on the old continuity. He kept the franchise alive for many years. He even tried to continue the series with his own proposal series before the Ron Moore series took root (there was anoth...

Random Things ~Getting Back to basics: I am moving away from my current job. I am going to shift away from a job a had for nearly 20 years to finding something more creative to do in the next coming years. At this point I am sick and tired of this f’ing job and will be switching gears into doing things I like to do more and transiting away from working at this shit job. I will be going back to school to finish my degree. My plan is to have a degree within the next two years with me shifting to less time with my old job. If I don’t make this change, I’ll probably have a nervous breakdown. Besides, I am a better person outside this company than in it. I've had people tell me that I am a very entertaining person. ~Mass Effect 4: I know that the game has been getting some major ripping lately. I’ve been watching a few “Let’s Play” of the game and I am really digging the story. It feels like a more Star Trek story with its pro-science stance. I love that thes...

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 20 years later “crew” reunites... You will notice that Daphne Reid is in the picture and NOT Janet Hubert . She is not on good terms with Will Smith and has attacked him on a few occasions. They had a major falling out and she's still hurt by the way they handled her on the show. Post Scientology, I am not a big fan of Will Smith anymore, but I think I side with him on this issue. From Mirror UK, (( "There will never be a reunion ... as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith," Janet, 61, said back in 2011, after previous rumours of a reunion surfaced. )) I do like there is no mention of Janet Hubert on Smith's tweet. Let's just forget that she was on 74 episodes on the show. Ouch, smooth burn.  

Let off some steam, Bennett Last night I discovered that my favorite arch-nemesis for a movie hero was filming something in the Louisville area. I didn't know his real name at first, but the person described him as the guy from that Mad Max movie. I didn't know who he was talking about. Then the person said, “He was Bennett in Commando.” As if on cue, I said, “Let off some steam, Bennett.” Remember, he was the guy with the tight chain-mail suit that had a strange relationship with Arnold's character. His character comes to a cool (steamy) end with a giant pipe through the chest and an Arnold quip. Yeah, he doesn't like that meme and statement too much. I guess I'd get tired of hearing it too. I won't get into where he was filming and why he was filming, but to say the project sounds interesting. I will say this; the guy has a LOT of movies coming out over the next few years, damn .

Mountain Bikers encounter bees... I would probably poop myself a little if I had encountered a swarm of angry bees. And, they seemed to have zeroed in on them after they passed through. From what I read, a boar attacked a nest and the bees were upset and went after everyone. Every time I see the title with the word bees in it, I think about Nic Cage and the Wicker Man. Not the bees.

Have you heard this one before? Girl goes to gas station store. Girl has to go to the restroom. Girl opens the doughnut display and shits all over the freshly prepared donuts. I've been in a hyper depressed mood these past two days, so this video actually made me laugh a lot. Look, I have seen a lot of things on the Internet, but even I was shocked by this incident. By the way, I love the reaction from the other people. I really love the one woman confronting the poop woman after the dump. “What is wrong with you?” When someone feels the need to poop in a doughnut display, it is way beyond time to ask that question. From Fox 4, (( told FOX 4 Friday the store discarded all the merchandise around the woman and thoroughly disinfected the area where she exposed herself. Thornbrugh said the woman did not actually use the doughnut case as a restroom even though the video seems to show otherwise. )) So, yeah that that is nice to know that cleaned the area. Peop...

He Will Not Divide Us  Gone again I actually just watched a Mundane Matt video on the new “He will not divide us” flag. Shia moved the flag out of the United States, which defeats the purpose of the American people standing together against Trump. He took the flag to Liverpool, UK instead, which totally loses the purpose of the protest now. From The Verge, (( The original live stream was supposed to last the full four years of Trump’s presidency, partly as a source of comfort and show of unity in the face of divisive cultural forces. In a statement to FACT, the artists said, “Events have shown that America is simply not safe enough for this artwork to exist.” )) So, the stream was back up and the flag was back boringly floating above on top some building. Well, it took only one day for someone to steal the flag and the stream to be shutdown again! Yep, someone made it to the roof and stole the flag again. They planned this heist like Ocean's 11. Right on ...

Netflix Switching to Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down A lot of people are saying that it is because of the Amy Schumer controversy. I actually think ditching the star rating helps everyone out. I disagree with people making the connection to the Schumer thing. Netflix has decided to ditch its star-rating. I think the timing happens to fall into place by accident. From Variety, (( ., that the company had tested the new thumbs up and down ratings with hundred of thousands of members in 2016. “We are addicted to the methodology of A/B testing,” Yellin said. The result was that thumbs got 200% more ratings than the traditional star-rating feature. )) It gives you a clear cut look at something by weighing the ups and downs to movies and series in the same manner as YouTube. I think the Thump Up/Down system works really well. Let's just say this, I work with a company that has star ratings. Users don't know that giving a “worker” a four star rating means failure in t...
