    HI TypeO, I was thinking about you the other day wondering how you were, wondering if you were paying attention to this thread, I guess you were indeed. Fear Inoculum sounds really good, can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

    Thanks, doing well.
    Yes, FI sounds incredible and I can't wait for next Saturday.

    Oddly enough, I kinda "missed" Lateralus when it came out, so I've dedicated the days leading up to the release to re-acquainting myself with the album.
    And I've immediately had the title track become my favorite Tool song at this point.
    Between the lyrics and the math and the intensity it's really the best song they've done to date, IMO.
    The last 2 minutes starting around 7:20 are really as good as it gets, for me.

    Great job, though. I had one restored about 20 years ago by a girl and I watched her do some of it and it seemed like it would take her forever. She definitely didn't charge enough for the time she put in. She did a great job. The pic was small (3x4 inches) and had a big burn mark on it plus a lot of creases. My aunt Nelly.

    Nice work.
    I'll venture a guess that much of the damage was on the leg?

    How long did it take you to do?

    Took it in one afternoon, promised it the next evening, but ended up meeting the following day.
    But it was completed over an initial 24 hour period, between working my regular job and sleeping, lol.

    I went to see Fences yesterday.  It is a terrific film based on the August Wilson play of the same title.  The acting was excellent across the board, but Denzel Washington is amazing in the lead role.  IMO, he does his best acting when he portrays "not so nice" characters. 

    Yes!
    My wife and I went Sunday, and it was so powerful.
    Denzell can usually be counted on to deliver.

    Awesome movie.

  5. Sam -

    Forum looks great, but one issue is the size of the YouTube embeds.
    They're so large, they seem to take forever to load a page in threads that are video-embed-heavy, like the Favorite Movie Scene thread.
    Almost couldn't get back off the page as it took so long to load the numerous video embeds.

    Don't know if display size has an effect, but something makes those threads REALLY laggy.
    Maybe if the display size was reduced it would help speed up loading.

    Or not - I'm certainly no expert.
    Just reporting what I've observed, LOL.

    Thanks!

  6. OK, so I heard about this movie as a quirky, offbeat comedy.
    The description referred to it as a dark comedy.
    Let's just say it's very heavy on the dark, with bits of comedy throughout.

    Seriously, this was an incredibly depressing movie laced with cringe-inducing, uncomfortable situations.
    When you think of the most uncomfortable scenes you can imagine with guys like Zach Galifianakis or Ben Stiller, and multiply it exponentially, you'll have a glimpse of what this movie is like.
    At a number of points I wanted to abandon it, but the farther I went, the more I figured I needed to see where this was going.
    And it was a little difficult to follow the progression of the movie, how the dog ended up in the various situations.

    The ending was so shocking that it forced laughter out of me while simultaneously making me feel guilty for laughing.

    So if you like bizarre stories with more than a little black - and I mean very black - humor, this is it.

    EDITED FOR HUMOROUS ANECDOTE:

    The movie opens with a close-up of the wiener dog filling the entire screen.
    Watching on my brother's 60" 4K curved screen, the detail was amazing.
    So amazing, in fact, that his Siberian Husky began trying to sniff the wiener dog's butt on the TV, following it as it moved.

    It was LOL-worthy.

    Hi TypeO,

    I saw your post yesterday and I wanted to reply, but words failed me as I was so shocked and saddened by the tragedy that you and your family are going through. I hope your brother and his family get the comfort and solace they need at this difficult time! Family (both immediate and extended) are so important during times like these, to have a strong support system!

    Like the old saying goes :  ee473446133907f7faba731fb2d09ee3.jpg

    My deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family, TypeO! Sending positive vibes and thoughts your way. 

    Thank you so much. It's been a blur, but we're making it.

    TypeO, He looks like your average, everyday dude. No outward warning signs at all. I assume this was an accidental OD?

    I'm pretty certain. He had been through a lot of problems before, but seemed to be doing well and appeared happy by all accounts. We viewed his body today and tomorrow he'll be cremated.

    My brother said they didn't want a particular specific place where Sean was (I.e., a burial plot), but rather spread part of his ashes at Key West and part in the mountains, 2 places he loved.

    TypeO, this is truly heartbreaking.  I have kids this age and cannot imagine the sadness that your family is feeling.  Prayers for you and your family, and much respect to you for being a great brother. 

    Thanks so much, I sincerely appreciate your and everyone's kind words.

    It truly is - as they say - a parent's worst nightmare. Fortunately we are all experiencing some incredible bonding, as well, so even in the depths of grief there's an amazing degree of positive energy that helps to sustain us. So while I'm very sad at the loss of this wonderful young man, I still grateful for the love the rest of our family is experiencing.

    This is Sean the last time we were together back in July with my son Devin.

    TypeO, I hope your brother, you, and your family can find peace and comfort somewhere in such an unfortunate situation.
    Know that the members of this forum extend much thought and prayer to your entire family.

    I'd like to thank each and every one of y'all for your kind words. It is still so surreal to realize what has happened. I'm so very thankful for the opportunity to be here with and for my brother and his family.

    Thank you all.

    Goddamn. TypeO, we don't know each other except thru this forum, but it saddens me this had to happen to your family. No words can really comfort and nothing can bring your nephew back. I can only offer my condolences and sympathy. There but for the grace of god (or sheer luck) go I. 

    Thanks Sean - wow - it means a lot. It's been a rough day, but the least I can do is be here for my brother and his family. This is even tougher than I imagined, every person that comes by to offer their support results in a new wave of tears and grief - it's physically exhausting. But again, if my brother is muddling through it all, the least I can do is be here with him.

    Thanks again, it means a lot.

    Kinda.
    The head wounds are pretty standard every year. LOL

    Danke!
    We had a good time.
