    The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

    He messaged me on Facebook on a whim and gave a brief synopsis of the situation, which is downright fucking amazing. And I absolutely need to.

    The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

    I haven't even thought about this forum for well over a year, but Dodens messaged me about this Omni nonsense and goddamn has this been an entertaining hour of time I will never get back.

    Living with Nihilism

    I've found that blacking out almost every night of the week while watching Omar from The Wire compilations on Youtube has worked wonders for curtailing the existential puzzle that is logically embracing nihilism.

    The Official Movie Thread

    You're not even in my top 20 TCIs, which actually surprises me. The only person on my kumpel list that is close if theficianado. I'll absolutely check both of those out. I need to start watching movies again. For the past few months, it's just been watch TV series on Hulu when I'm with my...

    The Official Movie Thread

    Watching Brief Encounter yet again. I consider this, In the Mood for Love, and Minnie and Moskowitz to be the three perfect love stories of all time, especially given how equally hopeless they are. By the way Flick, your new Criticker ratings are all kinds of fucked up.

    The Official Movie Thread

    I'm still waiting for a way to see Green Room. I absolutely loved Blue Ruin, and the trailers for Green Room look right up my alley.

    What other GMDers influenced your music taste the most?

    Precisely. I joined the forum when I was 14, and various members greatly shaped my taste in music. There's no shame in admitting it; that's precisely why forums exist.

    What other GMDers influenced your music taste the most?

    That's nice and all, but what is your favorite Milli Vanilli song?

    The Billiards Thread

    I probably should get in on that themed mixtape game nonsense. I did see it. There are a few blind spots in the list I need to check out, but I was glad to see that you wrestled with Anomalisa, loved the new Mad Max, and Blackhat. It was only a couple of months ago that I came to realize that...

    The Billiards Thread

    Haha, I have meant to start posting more. I don't listen to much music anymore, so I'm basically worthless in the metal portion of the forum.

    Furthermore, I saw you mentioned the cerebral nature of snooker. I may be speaking out of ignorance given my limited exposure to the snooker world, but a well-played rack of one-pocket is about as close to a chess game in the billiards world as you'll get, in my opinion. It's a game that's...

    The Billiards Thread

    Off the top of my head, I think Ronnie played on Team Europe for the Mosconi Cup in the 90s twice, where he played fine, but Team Europe ultimately lost both years. I sort of hate the Mosconi Cup because it's a publicity-based shitshow that turns world-class players into bangers and reinforces...

    Good shooting. That cross-bank in particular is a hell of a shot on a snooker table. I've always found the unavoidable quibbling between snooker fans and pool fans quite silly. They're completely different disciplines. If you watch Ronnie play a master like Earl Strickland, Strickland will...

    On another note, Efren Reyes is easily my favorite player of all time, but I'd put Shane up against any player in the world that's active right now. He's fucking unstoppable.

    The Billiards Thread

    Oh, absolutely. Booze, metal, and pool is a wonderful combination. My friend has a table in his basement, and we routinely split a 30-pack, pull up a Slayer Spotify playlist, and shoot until 9-10 AM. I would kill to have a table in my basement. And yeah, things like forming a proper bridge...
