Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[Cybirdy]

I envy you. Watching the show for the first time is a great experience. I did it, then I got to experience it when my wife watched them all with me and got hooked herself. There are a lot of haters, but it really is a great show.

I started watching first, then rewatched when hubby started watching. I want to start them again, you catch more each time. He is reading the books now, pretty much as a separate thing all together for what they are. He hasn't said much about the differences, just mentioned that they went totally different directions with some storylines.

Just watched the first episode of Game of Thrones. Feels like I've been missing out.

Also just saw the campus town upgrades that are now complete and I think it's taken away a lot of the charm of that stretch of road.

I've only been through about 10 episodes and I think the first episode is the worst one.

If you make it halfway through the first season, you'll be pretty much hooked, based on the people I've talked to...

I watched a few episodes, I didn't like it.

That's 2 rounds of storms now that have died out right before they got to me.

Isnt' there a gen staff lot between the dorms & Lied that is open on weekends?

Nope. That's all student parking.

Nope. That's all student parking.

Think that's all MWL parking, unless things have changed.

 

[stormchaser2014]

There's the one between the MWL lot and Lied, it has gates, but I always thought it was open on weekends.

Using the parking lot overlay, it looks like just the first two rows are gen staff...but the students probably move into it pretty quickly.

Looks like round 3 might make it.

The last scene of season 1 episode 10 will have you hooked for sure.

Just making sure this thread has not been moved while I was away.

Speaking of Ice-T, I just channel flipped into Tank Girl and when one of the Rippers (mutant animals) spoke I realized it was Ice -T under all of the makeup.

Oooh, Lifeforce is on MGMHD. Scifi, vampire zombie extravaganza with Mathilda May as the neekid vampire sucking the life out o everyone. It's a two star classic, probably because of Mathida.

And Patrick Stewart. Totally worth the watch.

Ice-T also has an appearance in Breakin and Breakin 2, Electric Boogaloo

You can see him nearly every day on television in reruns of Law & Order SVU...
The first place I ever really remember him from was a lesser known movie called "Surviving the Game", about a group of rich dudes who lure broken down homeless men up into the mountains, then hunt them.

What kinda shows you been watchin', bud? I don't know if I would even hesitate on breakin 2, electric boogaloo

 

[cyrocksmypants]

I mean, if we're talking Ice T, his best is clearly the film Surviving the Game.

Thought it was odd that he was a cop on TV after he had the song cop killer.
