Everyone watch Split. I highly recommend it
The movie description sounds a lot like Identity with John Cusack. (2001?)
Did you ever see that one? Wondering how similar they are. Regardless, Identity was great so I will have to see Split

It could've been way better. But predictable movies are predictable

I'm just upset because we haven't had a thriller worth a shit in like the last 6 years
The horror genre is basically dead as well
-
Horror has been dead for a while=( I am also not able to watch many horror movies as Sam will absolutely not watch them. Thrillers are the same. She really won't watch any movies as she says they're boring.
That doesn't make much sense to me because she could watch New Girl or Gilmore Girls all day and not get sick of it.

Just saw Split and I liked it, I just wish they wrapped up the ending for the one girl a little better. The unbreakable reference with Bruce Willis in the end was neat though.
For some reason I haven't subscribed to this yet but this is supposed to be the best place for horror fanatics. It's all sorted into sub generes. Basically Netflix for horror movies.

I heard about that shudder.com around halloween last year. I was thinking about joining too to see how it is.

Look up Glass. I think M. Night left the ending more open ended to give himself more play room for how that movie will start out

I got a new bike, and am wildly afraid of scratching or harming it as carbon fiber makes for expensive toys.
-
Wow....pretty bike. I was always that way with my road bikes, but with road bikes, unless you crash the bike was basically untouched. I recently bought a fat tire bike, so instead of buying brand new, I bought used....which took me a long while as they don't get sold second hand much.
Looks like it will be fun!!

That's some quality photography right there
I know nothing about bikes, but it looks awesome.

I should have you meet the guy that took the photos. He's an interesting character!

It certainly is one of the more visually pleasing bikes I have owned.
What fat tire bike did you buy?For a visual reference, this is my old bike. If anyone wants an awesome bike it's for sale!

cant believe some bikes can cost as much as cars. logic does not apply, apparently.

It looks fairly intense.
Beat me too it. The intensity is nuts

Hmmm......lets explore this logic.
In 1990 my Dad sold my Uncle an old Rabbit for $1. Therefore, by applying your logic (as opposed to not applying it) any bike costing more than $1 would be illogical.
This is a sad way to look at things. -

I used to be impressed by the costs of this stuff, but after spending countless hours riding, many hours servicing and plenty of look into R&D it all makes sense. These are low production bikes that are the supercars of bikes. The new bike is just shy of top of the line, only really lacking carbon wheels. Without seeing the trails that are ridden I can understand it not making much sense.
4 piston calipers for the brakes, dynamic geometry, dropper posts, and more suspension technology than your car has. The suspension on these bikes is amazing, the abuse they take is crazy. I recently rebuilt my old bikes fork and seeing all of the small pieces and how well it all works together (for the damper) you start to appreciate the time that goes into these things and understand the $1,000 fork cost a bit more. Adjustable low and high speed compression and rebound is typical on most high end suspension now. It's like a formula one car when it comes to setting these things up right.
Riding a normal bike on the trails is like driving an original mini through the baja 1000, you can do it, but a trophy truck allows you to go much faster and have more fun doing so.
Sure you can go to walmart and grab a $150 bike, but it will not last more than a day on the trails. The new bike is certainly on the other end of the spectrum at a 7k msrp, but they get up past 10k on occasion. So I'm still in the realm of sanityAlright, I'm done geeking out now.

Sweet Jesus, just jumped right into that one huh? lol
We have the same cranks, shifter/derailleur, and brakes!That's a wicked bike, should be a ton of fun! I love seeing 25lbs on that build.

Rented this in April, I believe list price is in the $5000-5500 territory.
Getting back on my hybrid bike was like going from a baja truck to a nissan hardbody
Even if I did trail riding 10x a year it would still make sense financially to rent a top end bike like that (until you wreck at least)
