McGurk Grand Master

Wow. I just went to Dark Knight Rises this weekend and was underwhelmed. I didn't hate it, but the bar was raised pretty high with The Dark Knight, and this one just didn't deliver. I wasn't pulled in and didn't care about the characters like I had in the first 2 Nolan Batmans. Granted; it was a good movie, but overly confusing, and Bane's voice modulation made me really have to concentrate on making out what he was saying, and thusly removing me from the plot. I know the lore and I knew all of the characters, but I just thought it wasn't as smoothly written as Begins or TDK.

Ditto mcgurk. Thought it was entertaining and bane was definitely bad a. Pretty hard to follow up the last one though! Also saw total recall. Thought it was pretty good. No movie of the year or anything but a good solid scifi/action flick. If nothing else it's worth seeing just to see Kate Beckinsdale and Jessica Beil smack each other around! smile

I know we've talked about it before, itch, but I hated Looper.

If you haven't seen Lawless yet, that was a pretty good flick. Haven't seen many good ones this year though. The Hobbit is worth seeing in theaters though.

We went to see "Here Comes The Boom" with Kevin James... being a UFC fan I thought there were some pretty funny parts in there. I was also a Bourne series fan, seen the "Bourne Legacy"..... a little excitement, but pretty fragmented in my opinion. Besides, the lead dude had some of the weirdest looking fingernails? You know, I think it should have been titled "Bourne Legacy...Final Chapter!" We also seen "Trouble With The Curve" with Clint Eastwood. Watchable, but not as good as Grand Torino.

If they come to cable to quickly, there is probably a reason for it, not doing well with the movie going audiences.

Just got back from seeing Zero Dark Thirty. It was an excellent movie, based on the CIA agent who tracked UBL to where he was shot. It's a long movie at around 2hrs 30 minutes, but was a good way to kill a rainy afternoon. If you get bored this weekend, I'd recommend it.

Bin Laden dies at the end cool Quite the spoiler, right?

Rental or theater worthy? I'm pretty picky anymore with ticket prices...

Well it's right on the edge IMO. There wasn't a whole lot of special effects or great sound effects that would make me really want to see it in the theaters. I'd still say that the last half of the movie (Where there's a bit more action) makes it worth seeing in the theaters.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
