Why
Ah ok, just saw news.au
Thank fk I've lived in a 3rd world country over half my life and the same has never happened!!

Words you don't often hear .

 

[Truckosaurus]

Having surgery in 12 days and will be out of commission for two weeks. Any recommendations for a good sci-fi book?

I also accept other, non-sci-fi recommendations.

 

[Godfather32]

Wonder how many will ditch Optus after today?

I may well be one of them.

It was bliss, no phone calls from dickheads, no scammers, like being back in the 90s

 

[Godfather32]

Anyone get WWE tickets today?
Managed to pick up some decent ones on the wing at $80 a seat

Ender's Game

Ender's Game

Already read it, the sequels and I even forced myself though all of the 'Actually it was Bean who did all that awesome stuff' Shadow series

I never knew about anything after the original. hmm

 

[Dazzler9]

Only has elements of sci-fi, but Cloud Atlas is a damn good read.

Mental note: ignore all sci-fi book recommendations from Dazzler

[Truckosaurus]

JK Dazz, appreciate the effort

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, by Stuart Turton. Murder mystery with timeline looping goodness thrown in.

Read it and The Devil and the Dark Water.

Discworld series?

My favourite author. Early onset Alzheimer's was a real bitch.

Seems like you already have.

 

[Dazzler9]

JK Dazz, appreciate the effort

LOL, am I meant to feel better?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Yes. Mission accomplished by the sounds of it.

 

[Dazzler9]

Yes. Mission accomplished by the sounds of it.

You may as well have said "Thanks for trying, as long as you tried your best, that's all that matters." Did give me a laugh though.

I recommend Cloud Atlas to anyone. Sh!t movie, fantastic book.

I enjoyed it but found it a bit laborious in parts.

Best original movie scores:

Rocky
Interstellar

Star Wars

I went to see an orchestra play some selected scores of Hans Zimmer at UWA a few months ago. The rendition of the cornfield chase from Interstellar gave me goosebumps.

John Williams had been ridiculously prolific too - Home Alone is an amazing one that springs to mind from him.

Jurassic Park?

Just the main theme mostly, I can’t remember anything else

Yep. Pretty much anything by John Williams

Not quite on the same level but the Fight Club score is good - really grimey and dark driving music.
