30/50. Effing Shane Warne question - who cares?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 week ago
It IS trivia. The question not being important enough to care about the answer is a feature, not a bug 😉

I got 30 too. And I got that one wrong!
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I’m so bad at most of these.

Den of Thieves: Pantera
The sequel to Den of Thieves and this time, the big score is located in Europe.
The first Den of Thieves is quite entertaining and a great heist movie along the lines of Michael Mann’s “Heat”. I strongly suggest watching this prior to the sequel. I did not do that, and started regretting it during the viewing, as there are some references that eluded my memory.
O’ Shea Jackson and Gerard Butler take the leading roles. O’ Shea is completely forgettable performance while Gerard Butler has a great screen charisma but it’s often let down with terrible dialogue.
The plot is slightly confusing at times, nevertheless it moves along at a fairly good pace.
The truth is I’m not here for Oscar winning performance or cinematography or engaging dialogue, it’s about the score. The action.
The movie opens up with a really smooth jewelry caper with full combat gear, full comms, souped up Audis and surveillance overwatch. The thieves are going loud and it’s an intense thrust right into the action that gets you invested straight away.
The big heist in the third act is equally intense but it’s a quiet job and much more physically demanding. All the tropes were on display here. The cameras, motion detectors, safe cracking, all the gadgetry etc…a very engaging display of skill, discipline and physical prowess. (Kind of unbelievable at times though)
Not the best heist movie around but, definitely entertaining. Has a nice little double twist at the end. Not really rewatch worthy for me.
3/5 carats

Didn’t know a sequel had come out. Going to watch it tonight!

I’m considering a compost bin to deal with the endless leaves and trimmings of invasive grass that come into my yard, being as I don’t want to get a green bin or a gardener. It might help with keeping things tidy.
But that requires me to buy an outdoor bin and a drill.

Woke up for my alarm for work this morning and fell back asleep. My mum called me 20 minutes before I was supposed to start, which was so lucky because I wouldn’t have woken up.
Does anyone here wake up early everyday without an alarm?
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Yeah. My alarm is really a backup to make sure I don’t sleep through, which is pretty rare for me.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Do you feel like you get enough sleep?
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Yup. I set my alarm based on when I start work, with 6.20 being the earliest. I literally can’t remember the last time it was my alarm that woke me
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 week ago
How much sleep do you get?
