Re: what did you listen to in 2018?

I've never been a huge Pusha fan but this is one hell of a tune. Me neither. He's very hit or miss with me. That album, for instance, has Numbers on the Boards, one of my top five favourite rap songs ever for sure, and King Push which is another solid song, but literally nothing else of note. Very ...

Early wintry films (looking for more)

I'm looking for some short wintry films from the early days of cinema. Say, pre-1914 for sure, but more like pre-1910 ideally. Things like Snowball Fight (1897), The Christmas Dream (1900), and Kørsel med Grønlandske hunde (1897) are freaking perfect. If anything comes to mind, please let me know S...

Re: Bugs & Suggestions

I've disabled the old forum, as it allowed me to post an announcement that shows up on every page.

As I understand it, that means that posts can't be edited anymore. If you need to get at the BBcode in one/some of your posts, let me know and I'll turn the board back on so you can snag it.
