  How do you remove a thread rating?

Suppose you accidentally click on the starts and give a thread a rating. how do you remove it? I only see the option to give it 1 start, I wish I could give 0 to those spam threads.

  Jurassic World Rebirth [no spoilers]
Posted by: gabester - 06-30-2025, 02:20 PM - Forum: Tips and Deals - Replies (1)

Went to see what was called "Classified Cinema" at my local theater.

A guy came down the aisle just before the movie started and yelled about how we were to turn off our phones, put them away, not to take them out during the movie, and definitely not to record, that he would not hesitate to confiscate our phones and pursue any violators with the full force of the law with felony charges and massive six figure fines. 

"Enjoy the movie." - which was unveiled to be a sneak preview of Jurassic World Rebirth[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jan5CFWs9ic][/url]

I've seen most of the Jurassic movies at some point or other, although I have not seen Fallen Kingdom at all and only seen parts of Jurassic Park III on TV. 

I was entertained. There were several callback scenes referencing events in the other movies. 
Scarlett Johanson's character seems written by a misogynist, a bizarrely peppy smuggler who has experienced great loss in her life recently and yet continues to bounce around like a teeny bopper. 

I was relieved to see that the reason there was yet another child involved in a dangerous dinosaur island scenario WAS NOT yet another stowaway scenario. 

I doubt this movie will be a critical success, but it will be a typical fun summer action blockbuster. It's a shame that Hollywood is out of ideas (or rather that the execs refuse to invest in and take risks on new IP) and has to recycle so much. 

I look forward to hearing what you all think of it when it's released to the public in a couple days.

I need a replacement for a lawnmower and I'm thinking about buying one.

EBay or other place?

  F1 Review
Posted by: ztirffritz - 06-30-2025, 01:50 PM - Forum: Tips and Deals - Replies (2)

I watched F1 this weekend.  It has lots of racing sequences, but the short review is it is 'Days of Thunder' with Brad Pitt replacing Tom Cruise, Kerry Condon replacing Nicole Kidman (Irish instead of Aussie).  It's almost a shot-for-shot reshoot of Days of Thunder.  Considering that Jerry Bruckheimer produced both, that's pretty shameless.  It is entertaining, though pretty low-brow in my opinion.

  ICQ, Skype and Google Hangouts?
Posted by: ztirffritz - 06-30-2025, 01:42 PM - Forum: Tips and Deals - Replies (3)

Anyone else notice that on your profile the forum has spaces to record your ICQ, Skype and Google Hangout handles?  Kind of funny considering that they're all gone now.

Senate Takes Up Trump’s Policy Bill,

"Taken together, the bill would most likely increase federal debt by more than $3 trillion over the next decade, though lawmakers were still shaping the bill and awaiting an official estimate from the Congressional Budget Office."


finally, debt we can believe in.

I have a 11" MacBook Air for parts, it won't turn on, liquid spill. No history on it. A1465 C02LC0NNFH51 is the serial number.  No power adapter.  Free for shipping or I would trade for a G4 Powerbook AC adapter.

  Heading for New York, what to do?
Posted by: davester - 06-30-2025, 02:15 AM - Forum: Tips and Deals - Replies (22)

Hey all,

We're spending 10 days in New York starting on Tuesday. We'll be staying at a friend's place on Long Island but will have a car plus we'll take the train in to Manhattan a few times. Wondering what the forum brain trust has in mind that would be fun things to do. We already have the Met, the Frick, and the Highline on our list. What are other "can't miss" things to do?
