Do you like to watch movies?

I do like to watch movies.

They are generally well crafted escapist entertainment.

I might be a super hero as well.

I love hero movies, do you have a favorite hero, mine is Spiderman or Peter Parker

Can I say that Robbie the robot from the original lost in space is my hero.

Always around and in the way.

Danger Will robinson, Danger.

That movie was pretty good, Lost in Space, it has a great cast including Molly Parker

Why is it you enjoy Peter Parker.

Most super heroes today are hapless everyman's who get special powers and use them for good.

Is there a wrong you need to right?

No I only think his powers are super cool did you watch Avengers Infinity War?

I admit, I have not seen Avengers Infinity War.

I did watch the Lost in Space Remake.

It was entertaining.

But it worried me the way they bounced from ridiculous danger to imminent peril to life threatening situation.

It was a bit much.

Would you recommend Lost in Space?

whats it about just wondering, seems like a good movie

The family, the robinsons, are trying to get to a new planet.

They are colonists.

Stuff goes wrong.

They crash on some unknown planet.

They survive.

It is not a movie, but a show with a number of episodes.

Intense action.

Danger.

If the action of super hero movie is good four you, you will like.

Sounds interesting, anyways do you subscribe to Netflix?

I do subscribe to Netflix.

I have made a note to look for "Killing Eve"  The description of the show seems vague on what actually happens.

Spy thriller or what?

Its available in Netflix its a British series it seems, I haven seen that one before though, it looks interesting

Dark Humor sometimes appeals Sandra Oh might be nice as well.

Im not really sure I like dark humor, but I try to keep an open mind about it

It kind of funny that Lou Ferrigno, the original TV hulk still does hulk voice.

Hulk smash.

All these characters were created in the 1930's.

He does?

thats really interesting, do you know Jarvis, Starks assistant?

No, Stark is Iron Man.
But Jarvis is not a character I know.

Well Jarvis is his computer assistant and the person who does the voice of Jarvis had never seen an Avengers movie, I think thats funny.

Yes, if you do the work, you should at least see the end result.

Do you like shawarma?

I do yeah, one of my favorite foods why do you ask?

It is documented that shawarma sales go up because of avengers movies.

I like shawarma, but never thought to link the two.

I guess its because of the ending scene, heroes gather at end at a Shawarma place, in fact im getting a but hungry not a bad idea, thanks for the chat I think im going to eat a Shawarma now,

I would not have known that unless I watched the movie, or had you to explain.

Thanks.

Thank to you, I feel I have learn a lot of interesting facts, have a nice day, bye


I am a big fan of the Marvel comics!
The Avengers is really great.

ya I agree, did you hear that due to the avengers there was an increase in shawarma sales haha!

Oh awesome!

Ha.

It was shot with an imax camera, the entire movie!

That's just one reason it was spectacular.

Imax theater movies are amazing but sometimes make me dizzy.

ya sometimes it is too overwhelming, did you ever watch the show recess?

the girl who voices gretchen voiced the waitress in the Avengers

Yes, I loved Recess!

I didn't know that, how cool!

The Avengers- The Age of Ultron was the nineteenth film.

ah interesting, did you watch the original incredible hulk from the 70s btw?

Heck yeah, I was a big fan of the Hulk.

I watched the show religiously every week!

My cousin was related to the guy who played him but I cant remember his name.

haha ya his name was Lou Ferrigno, and he actually appeared in one of the avengers movies!

Oh yeah, I sort of remember that.

How cool!

I am into reading the Marvel comics too and really enjoy all the characters and the themes.

In 1998 marvel offered the rights to sony for all the characters for $25 million but they only wanted Spiderman for $10 million because they claimed thats the only one people would care about.

haha that's funny!

did you know the guy who plays jarvis's voice?

I guess he has never watched an avengers movie haha

Noway, what a trip!

How would you someone not watch their own work?

I am big on watching them with Netflix.

Netflix is fast and has super bandwidth.

oh definitely, didyou hear about how Netflix was started?

like what inspired its creation?

No, I am not sure how they started.

I do know I am one of 137 million total subscribers now.I can remember when they first started and we would order and mail the dvd's back and forth through the mail.

haha ya I remember that, it makes sense they  switched to digital, I guess Netflix spends 20x more on postage than on the streaming bandwidth

Man, thats a lot.

I heard that the only places that don't have Netflix is North Korea, Syria and Crimea.

That sounds about right when you think of North Korea and how oppressed they are.

ya, that would make sense, anyway the funny story on how netflix was started is the creator was charged a $40 late fee for Apollo 13, that is a good movie though!

Oh wow, that is a funny story.

I guess everyone in the world gets late fees, not just me!

lol.

haha yes I haven't gotten a $40 late fee though, do you like Marvel or DC more btw?

Oh man that is a hard question to answer.

I don't think I can choose today.

I like the characters that was created for kids with poor hearing though, I like the social aspect of Marvel Worldwide inc.

ya that is true, I like batman but besides him I only like Marvel, funny that there is one character shared by both Marvel and DC

Oh cool, okay I really like Batman and Robin too.

I never forget about the sidekick.

Walt Disney acquired Marvel and he branding has just become a 2 billion dollar venture.

ya I remember that, it was back in 2009, seems like a while ago but it has definitely paid off!


hi how are you?
do you use netflix?

I do, what about you?

I used to watch.
i dont know.
i cut the cord.
LOL

Interesting.

I was thinking about it, but I still use it sometimes.

I used to watch quite a bit and realized i needed to use my time better.

That is a good point.

What if you could be a paid tagger though?

I guess that job seems cool, but after a while, you get tired of watching tv and tagging.

i would get bored.

Yeah, I hear you.

Did you know netflix monitors illegal downloads in Europe?

I guess they want to see what people want to watch.

netflix can plan then.

Do you like Marvel Comics?

i dont read comics much.
I sometimes see the movies though.
not often.

I see some of the movies too.

I think some of them really can suck though too.

yeah, too many explosions and too many battles.

i tire of the spectacle.

i prefer story

Me too, that is why I am more of a fan of thrillers.

What about you?

I prefer dramas and comedies.

I figure that superhero films can be good, just too many are geared to kids.

I like dramas.
Comedies, only on rare occasions.

comedy is tough, and many bad comedies are made.

i like superhero films that are comedies though.

So did you like Deadpool?

I did like Deadpool.

only saw the first one, but i like that humor.

less superhero stuff, more story and dialog.

anyway, great chat!

I only saw the first one too.
Nice chatting with you!

You too!
Have a great weekend!

Take it easy!


Hello.
Do you know a lot about Marvel?

Yes I think so.

I love the movie infinity War.

It was the first film ever to be shot entirely with digital IMAX cameras.

You can really tell.

I love the attention ot detail they are putting into these movies.

They are really diving into some great comics with all of this.

Yes I totally agree.

For example they included the original Hulk actor in several appearances of the movies!

I like Lou Ferrigno.

He is totally iconic Hulk.

I think they did an awesome job with all the cast really.

I'm honestly trying to think of a better actor for Jarvis than Paul Bettany and I can't.

Yes I totally agree.

Isn't it surprising that he has never seen the films?

I could see it though because if he wants to portray the character in a certain way watching an edited version might change that subtly and affect the quality of his work

Yes I guess that's a very good point.

Do you know why the avengers caused a notable increase in shawarma sales?

That is hilarious.

I could totally see that too.

There are so many funny memes about how the avengers are sitting in that schwarma restaurant and the workers are going about things like nothing happened.

Oh I see that explains it!

Yes that was hilarious.

I love having The Avengers on Netflix so I can watch at anytime.

From 9pm to 12am Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America!

Wow that is a lot of streaming movies!

Their original content is quite good too.

I like what they have done with some of the marvel characters in their own series.

Agreed.

I wonder how they got the rights to make those films?

Netflix apparently spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth.

I guess that makes sense.

Postage is spendy.

Late fees are too though which is how the whole idea of Netflix started.

Some guy got a late fee and wasn't having that.

Yeah definitely is.

I used to hate late fees.

So glad Reed Hastings found a way around them!

Me too!

I can't believe how big Netflix has gotten.

I bet blockbuster is kicking themselves they didn't take that deal to buy them for $50 million back in the day.

Yes can you imagine a blockbuster bought them at that time?

Netflix is now worth $2 billion.

I'm pretty sure blockbuster would still be around if that had happened.

I'm glad that Hastings was smart and dropped the failing sales idea though.

It would have been a shame if Netflix had went under because of it.

Yes I completely agree with you.

And now look at them go.

Netflix has 137 million total subscribers worldwide.

I was shocked to read that only about half of those were in the US.

I would have totally though it was more considering it is a quarter of the internet traffic in north america.

That really is amazing.

But you're right they do have offices in the Netherlands, Brazil, India, Japan, and South Korea.

A global market no doubt.

It was great chatting with you today.

You as well.
Have a great day!


Have you ever seen the movie Cloverfield?

I have seen the movie Cloverfield which one is your favorite?

I liked the first one.

I didn't know they had a series, is that available now?

Yes there are a series of these movies.
My favorite is 10 Cloverfield Lane.
It has John Goodman and is really good

Yeah, I saw that one.
Is there a 3rd?
I was completely unaware!

Yes that is the third one.

It's very different though because it does not have a big monster in it.

I don't want to give away the ending but it is pretty crazy

Interesting.

I will check it out this weekend.

I didn't think the second one was as good as the first to be honest.

I didn't see the second one actually but I would definitely recommend that you watch the third one it is really good

Ok, the 2nd one they are trapped in one room the whole movie (it isn't that great).

Ok haha.
Do you have Netflix by the way?

No, I canceled my sub a while back.

Did you know that Netflix and Youtube make up half of peak internet traffic in north america?

Wow that is crazy.

Also Netflix alone can take up about a third of all bandwidth in North America.

Yeah, that is pretty crazy.

Have you heard of the theory of only one electron in the universe?

I have heard of that.

I also heard of the one giant hologram Theory I think that Elon Musk believes in that

Interesting.

Did you know there are stars in the known universe that are cold enough to be touched by the human hand?

Wow that is cool.

Did you know that stars planets and gas clouds form about 6% of all matter?

I can believe that.

Have you heard of the natural selection theory of universes?

No I haven't.
Can you tell me more about it?

Scientists theorize that universes evolve naturally, pretty crazy.

Science is getting very fantastic these days!

What about Netflix do you have a Netflix account?

I don't, I canceled it after I got hit with a LATE FEE!

LOL


Hi, how are you today?

hey I'm good what do you know about basketball?

I sometimes follow NBA ball.
What about you?

ya I like it, its made up of 30 teams and only 1 team is in canada

Hockey and lacrosse are the official sports of Canada.

There should be NBA teams in other big cities in Canada though.

ya you'd think so, It's only the Toronto Raptors apparently

How many players these days would shoot free throws granny style, do you think?

probably none, but I would!

It's scientifically the best way to shoot!

It would look silly, but Rick Barry used to shoot like that.

If you had to choose, would you go to college or directly into the NBA?

oh I'd go right to the NBA, I wouldn't do what tim duncan did and stay in college, you?

Too much money at stake, and people can go to college at any age.

You can always get a degree, but NBA players are young.

yup I agree, did you ever try on some air jordans?

No, never tried them.
Stylish but expensive.

ya I guess they were banned from the NBA but Nike kept paying the fee

The fines would have been trivial for Nike, far less than the value of the publicity.

ya for sure, did you ever play chess?

Played a little many years ago.
Not really my game.
You?

I used to be really good, its crazy it was invented in India and then perfected in Persia, its very old

It's a cerebral game with fans all over the world.

Well, I enjoyed chatting!

thanks you should check out books by judit polgar she's great at chess!

Will do.
Ciao!

yup and just know there are more moves in chess than atoms in the galaxy!


Parenting can be really hard, it requires a lot of hard work and patience.

Hi, how are you?

I wouldn't want to be a solo parent.

It sounds like a tough job to balance career and child-care.

I know!

it seems like a lot of suffering, kids can be difficult specially if you have more than one

It's important for kids to have good toys.

Did you play with Lego as a child?

I did, I used to love legos, what about you?

I did, and I loved them.

I like the company, too.

Lego is investing millions to ditch their oil-based plastics in search of environmentally friendly alternative

I think thats a great call, afterall they have the money and its better if they are environmentally responsible, Lego sure is a big and wealthy company.

In February 2015, Lego replaced Ferrari as Brand Finance's "world's most powerful brand".

They've earned it!

I think this is because of the quality of their pieces out of 1000000 only 18 turn out to be deffective.

Customers pay a premium for quality.

The company recognizes employee dedication.

A 14 karat gold lego brick was given out in the early 80s to employees who had worked at the germany lego factory for over twenty-five years.

they are valued at nearly $15,000.

I see, that is really expensive I wouldnt pay that much for a lego brick, did you hear about that German Graffiti artist.

Oh, the guy who painted a 250 square meter bridge to make it look like it was made out of lego?

Yeah, that's cool.

A world of Lego!

Could paint a whole neighborhood like that.

I wonder if the bridge is still painted, that is pure art, I know I would keep it there.

It would attract tourists and Lego fans.

I assume there are many around the world.

If all the Lego bricks produced were shared out equally every single person on earth would own 86 Lego bricks.

I would like to take a photo next to that bridge, and that is amazing, there must be billions of lego bricks then, do you like reading?

Yes, I enjoy reading.

I don't get to the library much now though.

Not enough time?
there more libraries than McDonalds!

Mostly I go online for reading material.

There are other things at libraries though.

The Sacramento public library started a "library of things"

I wonder what the Sacremento library means but things, seems kind of random.

Things like sewing machines and other items that patrons may find useful, but don't need to own long-term.

Lending tools instead of books.

I see well, I like old books from CS Lewis and Tolkien, I consider both as great authors.


Do you spend much time reading?

Yes I love to reading,  although lately ive been doing audio books because I have been busy.

How about you?

I adore reading.

I think it is best way to travel to unknown worlds and escape reality for a little while.

Yeah its great really expands your mind.

Did you know the world reacord speed reader reads at 4700 words per min

wow.

I wonder if they actually retain anything at that point.

Are you just flying past the words or do you absorb the story?

I have no clue,  I cant imagine they preocess everything they read at that point,  but I am not an expert.

I would rather take my time and savor the classics like the works of lewis and tolkien.

I wouldnt mind being able to read fast,  but I still want to absorb the information,  otherwise what is the point lol

Yeah I mean yay you can ready fast but you are missing out on all the wonders that the library holds.

Yeah exactly.

In the 18th century there was a moral panic because people were reading so many novel hahahahah

Wow i wonder what they would do if they read some of the things we have now like 50 shades of gray and twilight.

Thats funny.

Twilight is a way better book in your imagination,  the movies were pretty horrible.

I've never read the books.

I saw the movies and that just ruined it for me.

I heard the writing was rather bad in them though.

It was simple,  nothing unique,  but I enjoyed it.

I wish I never seen the movies though.

Did you know if you publish a book in Norway the government will buy 1000 copies and distribute them to libraries?

That is pretty awesome.

I think it is a great way to encourage budding writers.

it is so hard to bet a book published in the us.

Theres are more libraries than mc donalds in the US,  thats suprising,  mc donalds is everywhere lol

That makes me happy.

I think a lot of people in the world could use more libraries and more knowledge in their lives.

Same.

I also read over half of adults have library cards!

I would think it would be higher than that.

I don't think there is enough access to libraries for the people in certain areas of the us.

Yeah thats true.

It is so cool how some libraries are letting people check out other things than books.

Like in sacramento where they can get sewing machines or tools.


did you know that Spider-man has a hyphen in the name so that he wouldn't be confused with Superman by people that were reading quickly

I didn't know that, crazy!

ya that is wild, also Stan Lee's wife did voice acting for the 1994 Spider-man cartoon, I watched that as a kid, did you?

I did actually, I thought the best spider man was Toby though.

Not sure about this reboot.

haha ya I didn't mind him, definitely better than the guy from The Social Network, I haven't seen the new movies, but it is wild to think that Capn Crunch's arch nemesis has battled Spiderman, now that is something I want to see in a movie haha

Is that who the new one is?
Ughhh.
Too many reboots these days.

Ya hollywood keeps making reboots I suppose because they are a safer investment than a new franchise, did you hear of the SpiderMan broadway musical?

I never saw it but it was the most expensive broadway production in history

I liked the batman reboots.

I actually saw the musical when I lived in NY for spiderman.

oh nice how was it?

I wanted to see it but I think they stopped it at this point?

I think they cancelled it soon after that one guy got injured and insurance was sued

It was great, my work actually gave us the tickets before it got canceled.

well that's nice, do you play chess at all?

I guess they did a study and there is no correlation between chess skill and iq level

I believe it.

I'm not so sure the IQ tests are accurate to be honest.

Ya I'm not sure I haven't taken one, but the president of the world chess Federation thinks that chess was invented by aliens, I don't know how high of an iq that guy could have if he believes that haha

I haven't played much Chess to be honest, that sounds crazy that he believes that though.

ya I used to study it a little bit back in the day, what is crazy is there are more possible chess moves than there are atoms in the universe, that's a lot of permutations!

really?
I suppose that may be possible.

what do you think of Judith Polgar?

I remember I bought her chess book, anyway she beat a family friend at chess when she was only 5

That's insane, and apparently Chess was invented in india.

hmm I didn't know that, I did know it was modified by the Persians, my one friend is persian and he would always say that haha

I wonder if they hold special championships there because of that?

Oh I bet they do, he was very Pro-Persian so it wouldn't surprise me, all persians I have met have been very proud of their heritage

Interesting, I've never been to India, I bet it is pretty cool.

Ya I haven't either, I should go someday and play chess with those people!


Hi there!
Are you a fan of Netflix?

Not so much.

I understand it has 137 million subscribers worldwide.

That's true, and almost 60 million of those are in the US.

Hard to believe it's been around since '97, back in the Blockbuster days.

Ha.

I bet Blockbuster regrets buying Netflix.

Now worth 2 billion dollars.

I know!

They declined several offers of only $50 million.

That pales in comparison is it's current Net Worth.

Oops.

So sorry, but you noticed that my keyboard did not include the word "not" as in "not buying Netflix."

Sometimes my typing is lacking.

Anyway, I remember going to Blockbuster for videos and DVD's.

What an opportunity for Hastings and Randolph to jump on the enterprise.

Apparently, Hastings got the idea of starting Netflix after racking up a $40 late fee on Apollo 13.

Can you imagine?

I'm not surprised that it is not available in China, Syria, North Korea, and Crimea.

I believe China won't allow the use of Google in the country.

They are very closed to outside.

I suppose that makes sense considering the types of government in those areas, plus, Netflix still has offices in Brazil, India, Japan, and South Korea.

I guess if possible it could be in outerspace.

Ha.

There is a vey large universe to expose to Netflix.

Ha.

Haha, and isn't the Universe potentially just one giant hologram, man?

Wow.

I never thought of that possibility.

I wonder who would have created that???

Hummmm?

Man use to believe the earth was the center of the universe, but after scientific research, it was discovered that the sun is probably the center.

Haha, well, the sun is center of our solar system, not the Universe.

The universe makes up a LOT of things.

Oh, right.

Thanks for correcting that.

Don't know what my keyboard was thinking.

I need a robot to do my typing.

Yeah, robots are capable of carrying out many complex actions.

Can you imagine Michael Jackson wanted to build a moon walking robot that was 50-feet tall?

No more difficult to imagine than the robot which knows how to debone a chicken!

Haha

Crazy.

Isn't it.

Do you think someone will really create a human form robot?

I mean, robots can now be controlled by rat brains, so I don't see why not?

A bit scary.

Don't you think?

It's good if they can be used by the military.

It's always interesting to see the police use robots to enter possible bomb sites.

Yeah, it's a double-edged sword, for sure.

They've saved millions of lives, I'm sure!

Anyway, it's been nice chatting with you.

Enjoy your day!


Do you like to dance

Yes, I do you.
Do you?

Only after a few drinks.

I turn into a real michael jackson dancer lol

LOL I wonder if that is how Bruce Lee won the cha-cha championship in 1958?

I think so too!

lol.

I have a baby and she dances better than I can!

Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music.

Does yours?

she does so much, I just got a funny video last night of her doing it!

I'm sure you make lots of videos of her.

The time goes by fast.

I do lol, so fast!

Do you own fish at all or like to eat them?

I built a pond in my backyard.

The birds seem to eat fish more than I do.

lol that is awesome and makes sense.

Put a jelly fish there, one breed is immortal

I would be afraid of jelly fish in my pond.

right me too, lol.

Even black swallower fish, they can eat other fish that are much bigger, probably birds too

I definitely won't have them in my pond.

LOL

That is a good idea lol.

Put seahorses in there though, those are always fun.

They are the only fish with a neck

I love seahorses.They would be hard to see in my pond.

I do have a water tower but I'm not sure if they would go in there.

I don't think so either.

Speaking back to dancing, did you know tupac was a ballet dancer at one point?

I've read that...he was also in the Nutcracker.

That would be interesting to see, I may youtube it!

It was so nice chatting with you!

It's been nice chatting with you.
I'm sure it would be fun to watch.

For sure!
Enjoy your weekend!


Hi do you shop online?

Most of the time now, my favorite shop is amazon, and you?

Me too, it is so awesome.
Do you ever shop the AMazonBasics line?

Yes they say the quality is not that great but I find them to be quite good

Yeah me too.

Did you know Jeff built a clock on a mountain

Oh neat.

They also created a new font just for kindle and similar devices called bookerly.

Neat.

Yeah Jeff built it and it is supposed to run for a 10 000 years.

WOw that is too long.

They also hold the patent on the 1-click buying

Wow they have done everything.

Do you know how much the first customer spent?

I do not know that but I know that because of the patent Apple has to pay amazon to use the 1-click buying

Nice.

The first customer got a building named after him after he spent less than $30

WOw nice.

They also have a website where they sell the returned stuff discounted

Nice, that is a sweet deal.

They deliver on Sundays too now because of a deal with USPS

THat is so convenient Do you know what the arrow in their logo represents?

Oh I do not know that actually, what is it there for?

Well it means that they offer everything from a to z

That makes sense.

Their warehouse workers walk up to 15 miles

That is a lot.

BestBuy and Target price match with Amazon

That is a sweet deal.
ANd Amazon also owns IMDB since 1998

THey are everywhere really.
DO you like robots?

I sure do, they are becoming part of our lives


Hello, do you like the Avengers?

My son likes it more than I do.

I like movies produced by Marvel Studios.

That's cool.

Did you know that Marvel goes by Marvel Cinematic Universe too?

No, I did not.
Now I do.

Yep and the actor who voices jarvis has never seen the movies!

Really?

That was odd.

Apparently, Avengers:  Infinity War is the first film ever to be shot entirely with digital imax cameras.

That's cool and that the original Incredible Hulk actor has been the voice of the Hulk up to this day since the 70's!

I like the Hulk.

Lou Ferrigno deserves it.

When I am angry at work, I want to become the green giant.

Yeah hahaha oh wow, did you know that the Seahorse is the only fish to have  aneck?

I heard about it.

Apparently, there is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.

I dont doubt it i dont think they have a heart so...

I'm confused.
Who have no heart?

The Jellyfish

I wonder if scientists have studied their genes.

Some people want to be immortal.

Well, i think the best bet for that will be to look at the zebrafish more closely!

Please tell me about the zebrafish.

Well they 84 percent of the counterparts for human diseases

I see.
I'm amazed though.
We are so different from the zebrafish.

Thats why alot of secrets lie in the genes

Apparently, the black swallower fish can eat prey twice its own length and ten times its weight.

That is odd.

I do not want to be near that fish.

Maybe thats how it got its name haha

There are so many interesting facts about fish.

I wish I could chat longer.

However, it is getting late.

I would like to say good night and it was truly nice chatting with you.


Hey how are you?
Do you like shopping on Amazon?

I do.

I find that it has a lot of what I need and a lot of variety as well

I agree, you can find all kinds of stuff on there.

It's the largest internet retailer in the world!

And it will only get bigger.

It has thousands of items from every category one can think of

Yep, did you know that Jeff Bezos actually built a clock into a mountain?

Sounds like he is using that Amazon stock money to good use then.

I can imagine how big his house might be

The clock should run for 10,000 apparently.

I bet his house is huge!

Not as big as an Amazon warehouse though.

Workers walk 7-15 miles a day during their shift

That's alot of walking there!

I thought my 4 miles per shift was alot.

I figured Amazon a lot of robot helpers in the warehouse to take some of the heavy load.

Since robots are becoming more and more useful in work life

I think they're starting to incorporate them, but there is some things that humans just do better.

Did you know that the first Amazon customer spent $27.95 and got a building named after him?

Wow, and I have spent thousands over the years and all I get is free shipping!

I agree, I guess we just weren't early enough.

I did not know originally that AMazon owns IMDB.

No wonder their movies do well with Critics

I didn't know that either.
I like Amazon Prime video though.

They do have some good TV and movies on their service.

I suppose one could buy only from Amazon for everything and probably be ok.

Probably so, between them and Wal-Mart I'm set.

I shop at walmart too, but it is always so busy.

The great thing about amazon is it just shows up at my house.

Even on Sundays

I love getting my Amazon packages on Sundays.

I started doing the grocery pickup at Wal-Mart, and I'll do instore pickups so I don't have to really go inside or deal with the registers.

That makes sense.

And of course you can still get things shipped from walmart to your home.

Yep, I believe they're trying to keep up with Amazon.

Well I hope you have a great day.

It was nice chatting with you.


Hai,Have you purchased on the amazon?

I have purchased on the amazon.
Have you?

yes,Do you think the service will be useful for you on the website

It has been reaaly helpful in buying hard to find items or everyday items I do not want to go out and buy.

Do you enjoy the amazon?

yes i like very much,Buying things as it is at home is useful

What's been your best purchase?

mobile phone and LED TV.

Nice.

Did you buy a clock you could build into a mountain that could last for 10,000 years?

sorry I'm not sure do you can

Oh, Jeff Bezos bought one so I thought they were available on Amazon.

I wonder how big it is.

okay,What do you think about the robot?

I like robots.

Do you think they will take over the world though?

I am worried about it, a lot!

Of course, I have that sadness but do you think it's possible

I am not sure but I have seen what Boston Dynamics can do with their AI and robots and they have some evolving robots!

yes definitely,do you like horror film?

Not really.

I get too scared and leave the theater or turn it off.

Do you?

i like so much horror film and very interesting story.

Nice.
What's your favorite horror film

Insidious: The Last Key this film is my favorite.

I have never heard of it.

It's a horror film?

I will have to check it out, if Im not too scared.

okay.


Hello - how are you today?

Hi, well.
How are you doing?
Are you a robot?

I am doing good and no I am not a robot.

Did you know from 9pm to 12am Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America?

That's pretty crazy.

Netflix apparently really has a thing for Cloverfield doesn't it?

Netflix is pretty successful.

I saw that them and YouTube make up about half of the peak internet traffic in North America.

I'd like to see more robot movies.

Maybe Netflix can work on that.

I think they could explore Megatron's background more.

I saw that Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth.

Yeah I guess they still send out DVDs.
That's a lot of postage.

That's a lot of postage!

Netflix has over 150 movies with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I wonder how many of those I've seen?

Wow that's crazy

I jumped on the Netflix streaming bandwagon in 2007 when they started.

How about you?

I just recently got Netflix because it was bundled in my with T Mobile account.

I watch it periodically.

I think a fun job would be one of the people that watches Netflix movies and shows and tags them for subjects and indexing.

Paid to binge watch!

That would be a very fun job.
Wonder how much it pays?
Netflix is worth $2 billion now.

And 58 million subscribers in the US alone.

That's like 1/6th the population.

yea that's a lot!

They're pretty smart too.

They monitor illegal downloads to get a feel for what shows to stream.

Yep I've heard that they do that too.

I'd like them to adapt some Isaac Asimov.

He invented the word "robotics" actually.

It was great talking to you!


do you like horror films?

I guess Stephen King considers Bambi to be a horror movie, I never would have guessed that!

Hello there, really?

I wonder why he would have ever said that.

ya, have you seen it?

Like it's sad but not a horror movie to me, more like a sad one though haha

I think I have but when I was really young.

Do you know how they make the majority of metallic noises in horror movies?

haha no I don't how do they do it?
some kind of weird instrument?

Yeah I guess it is called a waterphone.

Sounds like a pretty crazy instrument to me.

ya I need to look up what that sounds like, also I shoudl watch more horror movies apparently you can burn almost 200 calores from watching one, that would help me lose weight!

Yeah I guess they must get your heart racing pretty fast!

What are some of your horror favorites?

Well I like The Shining, I like Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween is a classic, what about you?

Yeah good call, the Shining is one of the best ever.

Halloween is a good one too and so is Nightmare.

I really like Rosemary's Baby, have you seen that one?

no I haven't, what is that about?

I have heard of it but I haven't seen it yet

It is really good, it is about a wife who gets set up by her husband and she gives birth to the devil basically.

haha oh wow, well you like the shinning, its good to know that Danny from the movie didn't realize he was making a horror movie at the time, that could have scarred him for life!

Yeah I think that is pretty funny though.

I wonder what kind of movie he thought he was gettin into?

haha ya I wonder if they shot the scenes out of order or told him lies to keep it so he didn't know what he was diong haha

Yeah I think you might be right about that.

On a different note, are you a user of Amazon?

ya I like to buy stuff from there, I don't have prime anymore i didn't use it enough, what about you?

Yeah I use them quite often, especially around the holidays.

Do you know what the first ever amazon purchase was?

no I don't!

I do know the guy would bought the first item got a building named after him though, what was it?

Yeah good call!

I guess he paid $27.95 and got a building named after him yeah.

I mean it is cool to get a building named after you, but it would have been cooler to get something physical, really anything, instead of that haha but thats just me


Good day.
Do you like netflix?

I used to, no longer have a subscription.

Did you know that netflix was founded by reed hastings and marc randolph in 1997?

I did know that, he is still the CEO.
He was just on CNBC.

Ntflix has over 137 million subscribers worldwide.

58.46 million in the us alone.

WOW!
That is a lot!

That really is a lot of subscribers.

From 9pm to 12 am netflix accounts for 33% of the internet traffic in north america.

I can believe it.

I canceled my subscription because I wasn't watching it enough.

All in all Netflix and youtube together make up half of the peak internet traffic.

Yeah, that is true.
What do you know about the universe?

I know that it is all of space and time and all of their contents.

So basically everything.

Interesting.

Did you know the universe may exist inside a black hole?

Yeah I heard that.

So do you think that the Universe evolved thropugh natural selection like humans have?

It could be true.
To be honest, nobody really knows.

I think it is.

I mean its just a bunch of rocks floating through space.

The bigger ones are going to encapsulate the smaller ones over time.

Yeah, that is true.
What do you know about robots?

I heard that Michael jackson had planned to build a 50 ft robot to moonwalk the deserts of las vegas.

OMG, that's hilarious.

Who actually knows what that guy was thinking.

This is kind of scary to me.

I guess they can use a rats brain to control a robot.

It wont be long until they can do it with humans.

I wouldn't be surprised if they've already tried.

Well, nice chatting with you!

It was a lovely chat.
Have a wonderful day.


hi there, do you watch the NBA?

Yes I do.
Do you know who Reggie Miller is?

Yes the NBA player that was always beaten at the game by his sister

Yes the woman was a star, broke 8 national records once

Amazing.
Do you like Iverson?

I do, he signed a killer deal with Rebook, $800 000 a year till he is 55

Yes and after that he gets $32 million.

Yeah sweet deal the guy is pretty much set for life now

Yeah.
Do you ever practice the granny shot?

Yeah but players do not like it because it is funny.

Do you play chess?

Sometimes, there are more positive moves than atoms alltogether in the universe

Wow nice.

The president of the federation believes it is invented by aliens

Wow.

Judit Polgar beat someone at it when she was only 5

Wow nice smart kid.

The game was invented in India and not by aliens though

Haha yeah during the Gupta empire actually.

Yeah.
DO you like SPiderman?

I love the movies.

Do you know why it has a hyphen in the name?

Yes so it can be distinguished from Superman as they sound similar

Yeah.

Stan Lee's wife did the voice for Madame Web in the early SPider-man series

Wow that is awesome, they were both into these kind of things.

So awesome.

Spiderman is also the most expensive Broadway production


Hey there are you a spiderman fan?

Or should I say spider-man...Stan Lee used the hyphen so people wouldn't confuse him with superman!

Spider man is a fictional super-hero created by Stan lee.

He has appeared in comic books.

Yes he is.

More specifically he is the alias of Peter Parker who is an orphan because his parents were killed.

He is lived with his uncle.

Peter is very innocent boy,  He is character is designed with adolescence and financial problems.

Yes have you ever seen the Spiderman movie?

The movie was created by Sony because they have the cinematic rights to Spiderman.

He appears in American comic books which are published by Marvel Comics.

Spider man first appeared in 1960.

I thought he first appeared in the amazing fantasy number 15 which was published in August 1962.

This was the silver age of comic books.

It is very interesting to know it.
I think you read comic books.
Who is your superhero ?

I like Superman.

But Spiderman is cool too.

I would love to see the Broadway musical about Spiderman.

It was the most expensive production in Broadway history.

Music also plays an important role in superhero movies.

Graphic designers have an important job too.

Yes you are right.

Did you know Stan Lee's wife voiced Madame Web in the 1994 spiderman series?

Stan lee did not want people to confuse spider-man with superman.

They're different movies.

It is very tough for designers to make dresses- it requires a lot of effort.

Yes it does.

Cap'n Crunch arch rivals sogmaster and the soggies exist in the marvel universe and have even battled spiderman!

That is so funny.

Stan lee is excellent writer also, he make the movie interesting.

Which is your favourite sports ?

I love basketball and especially the NBA.

It was founded in New York on June 6, 1946.

It is the famous US pastime.

In the middle ages, large numbers of people played this game in towns and cities.

It was quite popular.

Yes it is one of my favorites.

The NBA banned air Jordans in the past but he wore them anyway because Nike paid the fines before each game.

The league was found in June 6, 1946 as BAA.

In the 1949, the league adopted it NBA, after merging with national basketball league.

Yes.

One of my favorite players was Reggie Miller.

But his sister was almost better than him.

It was pleasant talking with you this morning.

Very nice chatting with you.
Have great day.

Bye now!


Hi!

Do you enjoy reading?

I've been wanting to read Starship Troopers since it's the first Sci-Fi novel to make the reading lists of three US military branches!

It must be great!

I love reading.

I read starship troopers a long time ago.

saw the movie too.

Heinlein was in the military.

the navy, i think.

That's awesome!

I'd also like to read Ender's Game as it's also suggested for military organizations even including the Marine corps!

i never saw the movie for that, but i did read the book.

Orson Scott Card is a great writer.

would you ride a reading bicycle?

Ha!

I don't know if I'd be able to.

But what I do wish is that I could read 4,700 words per minute which is a world record set by Anne Jones.

Wouldn't that be awesome?

I guess, but how much does she retain?
can she remember all that info?
we should give her a test a week later.

That is a good point.

She probably doesn't retain much.

Ha!

On a related reading note, I find it sad that there was a moral panic over the spread of the reading of novels back in the 18th Century.

I'm so glad we don't love back in those times.

Yeah, poetry was considered the highest form of literature, and novels were vulgar, dealing with themes not suitable for civilized people.

Such a shame!

But to lighten things up, Tolkien and CS Lewis both held a you laugh, you lose  competition while reading horrible poetry.

I think that's hilarious!

Ha!

I bet they had plenty of laughs too!

I would buy tickets to that event.
it sounds great.
those two were terrific authors.

Indeed they were!

Speaking of authors and books, do you like libraries?

I'm glad to hear there are still more libraries than there are McDonald's here in the US and over half the adult population still has library cards!

That gives me a little hope!

I am amazed by that fact.

there is so much obesity in the US, i figure it would be the other way around.

maybe we could combined libraries and fast food?

LOL

Hey, maybe so!

It would be similar to the Sacramento library that started a library of things where they let you check out stuff you may need temporarily but don't want to own like sewing machines!

the tool library is an awesome idea.

many people dont have enough money for some basic tools.

reduce, reuse recycle.

it is a good system.

That is a great idea, actually.

I wonder if they sell tools at the "library of things"?

Speaking of libraries, I think it's nice that if you publish a book in Norway, the government there buys 1000 copies and distributes them to libraries across their country.

I wish every government would do that!

I will move to Norway.

I will write childrens books and become rich.

that is now my plan.

Yes!

It's a great idea.

We mentioned the library of things previously, but I wonder if they also rent out legos?

I love Legos!

In fact, the German  Lego factory would give out a 14k gold Lego brick to employees who had worked there for 25 years back in the early 80s.

I think that is awesome and it's too bad they still don't do that today!

I think that is great.

I would love to work for Lego.

I think the library just lends out tools for adults.

Probably so!

Well speaking of legos, did you ever hear about that German graffiti artist who painted a 250 square meter bridge to resemble a lego?

That takes serious talent.

Ha!

That is a cool way to decorate the urban landscape !

Anyway, thanks for the chat!

Agreed it is!

But Legos are so popular now, as it has movies, amusement parks, games and competitions all under it's name brand.

Well thanks for chatting with me as well.

Hope you have a great day, friend!

You, too!
Have a great day.

You have a great day as well!

I'm off to read how Lego replaced Ferrari as the world's most powerful brand.

Ha!

Take care!


How's it going, have you ever played with Legos?

I never knew the company that owns them is from Denmark

Yes, The cool thing is that Legos are too much fun.

Lego pieces can be assembled and connected in many ways to construct objects including vehicles, buildings, and working robots.

Yea, they have been one of the best toys since Legos came out in 1949

I agree and they also support movies, games, competitions as well as six Legoland amusement parks.

These have all been developed under the Lego brand.

That's pretty cool.

DId you know only 18 out of 10000000 lego bricks produced are defective?

That's a great percentage of low defects.

To top that off, legos are so consistent that they allow these bricks manufactured today to interlock with the ones made back in 1958.

That's pretty cool, they also treat their employees well, in the german lego factory some even got a 14 karat gold lego brick

That is awesome.

Did you know that a German graffiti artist painted a 250 square meter bridge to make it look like it was made out of legos?

No but that sounds like a nice piece of art, I wonder if drivers were scared to drive on the lego looking bridge

I know, right?

Lego is now investing millions to ditch their oil-based plastics in search of an environmentally friendly alternative.

That's pretty cool, I wonder if their are any good lego books.

I'm not sure but if all the lego bricks produced were shared out equally every single person on earth would own 86 lego bricks.

Nice.

Have you've ever read Starship Troopers?

It's on the reading list of the US military

No, I haven't.

I do know that in the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of the reading of novels.

I wonder what made people in the 18th century have a moral panic lol, maybe it was because most people couldn't read

That could be.

It's hard to say.

Do you like the library?

Did you know that a library collection includes not only books but periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microfilmn, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-rays, e-books, databases and other formats?

Yea, in Norway if you publish a book the government buys 1000 copies to put into the library

That is great.

Did you know that there are more libraries than McDonalds in the US and over half of all adults have a library card?

Lol no but it's good to know theres more libraries than McDonalds

I was surprised at that myself.

Did you know that a man falsely imprisoned for 10 years spent most of his time at the library to study law and prove his innocence, and then became a lawyer to help free other people who have been falsely convicted?

Nope, glad he got out.
Well it was nice chatting with you


Memes like the cursed sarcophagus are really odd.

What makes you say that?

I think the fact something based in fact iike archaeologists discoveries can quickly become an obsession.

I thought it started with finding three skeletons in one sarcophagus

It did, but archaeologists found the skeletons and a mysterious liquid.

Some believe the liquid to be an energy drink and some believe it to be vaping juice.

Somebody even jokingly called it sauce and called for baking a fused ziti.

I would have preferred to sign the petition for the energy drink.

Perhaps, but this takes me back to silly memes and a 4.5 billion year old planet.

We have enough energy from the sun to keep the planet running for hundreds of thousands of years

True, but More than 80 percent of the earth's natural forests have already been destroyed

Thankfully we have plenty of water in reserve so as long as we don't pollute it

In september of 2010, the united nations appointed official ambassador to extraterrestrials - perhaps they can help with that!

I find that a bit odd and haven't been able to verify that fact.

Its like the UN having an amabassador for the sarcophagus too

I'd like to see someone post a video on the second largest search engine, YouTube about that!

I might start my own channel on YouTube dedicated to the sarcophagus findings

Good luck with that, just don't repost Justin bieber's "baby" - it is the most disliked video on youtube

I hate that video too...I might make a parody of it instead.

I would try and get it on someplace other than Pandora radio, so the rest of the world can hear it.

Pandora is relatively new, started in 2017 so I am not sure I will have enough followers on Pandora versus YOuTube

True, although Pandora now streams comedy, so that might help!


Hello there.
How great is the planet we live on?
It was formed 4.5 billion years ago.

Good morning!

It is great I agree.

I think it's amazing that over 70% of it is covered in water.

Yes I love water.

Most of the water is from oceans but some of it is from lakes, rivers, and other sources.

I do too.

Have you heard about the forests being destroyed?

Yes I can't believe more than 80% of the earth's natural forests have been destroyed.

I know.

I can't help but wonder what that is going to mean for the planet in the long run.

Will it have an effect on the earth's polar regions which are covered in ice?

Yes I think it will and already has.

Also, earth will be virtually Helium free by the end of the twenty first Century.

That's an interesting thought.

Helium has to be used for more than just blowing up balloons so that will change things I guess.

Also, everything natural with the planet is probably important in some way to it so things will change planet wise too.

Yes I completely agree.

And in the big scheme of things the lives of humans is so small relative to the earth.

Very true.

I've heard that if earth's history was viewed as a day we would only be just over a minute of it.

Yes I can't believe it.

I think it's fascinating that the earth's interior has a solid inner core and the liquid outer core that generate's a magnetic field.

That is interesting.

Do you find it interesting also how the earth and moon interact?

Oh yes definitely.

Thanks for that interaction we get our ocean tides.

I am sure the surfers are grateful as well!

True!

Isn't it amazing how everything works and such?

Without the moon the planet would rotate a great deal faster too.

Imagine what that would be like.

Yes who knows what it would be like.

There definitely wouldn't be a YouTube.

Google actually bought youtube back in 2006.

Youtube must have had rapid growth in it's first year because it was just created in 2005 and then like you said, Google buys it the next year.

Yes and for a big sum of 1.65 billion dollars.

They really cashed out!

They really did!

Did you know it's the second largest search engine on the net?

I actually didn't realize that.

Justin Bieber's Baby is the most disliked video on the site.

People must be jealous.

Well it was lovely chatting with you this morning.

People are also busy watching.

Youtube combined with Netflix makes up half of peak internet traffic in the country.

It's been nice chatting with you as well!

Police also have their own called blutube!

Have a good day!


hi how are you?

are you good over there today on the other side of the internet?

things are pretty good here.

Its pretty good.

Did you watch the Oscars the other night?

That is always a fun show

i did not watch the oscars.

normally the show is boring (well, to me).

a bit slow.

i check the next day to see who won.

Did you know that Daniel Day-Lewis is the only actor to win best actor 3 times?

he deserves it.
the man is a genius.
MY LEFT FOOT.
amazing performance.
tom hanks won tice.

Blazing Saddles was even nominated for 3 oscars - great flick!

that was an AWESOME flick.
could not be made these days.
too much language.
maybe as a south park episode.

Though tamer flicks are still popular - Walt Disney won 22 oscars

Uncle Walt knew how to please an audience.quality was always there.

quality always lasts.

Yes for sure - though somehow enimen has more oscars than decaprio, depp, will smith, george lucas and bill murray combined.

How the heck did that happen?

eminem is pretty cool, but really the oscars seem too political.

i figure they dole out favors to their favorites.

Maybe - but oddly enough the Oscars was nominated for  9 emmys in 2013!

i dont understand myself.

the show is a bit slow for my taste.

i figure that they are doing each other favors or something?

I don't know.

Do you like basketball?

College basketball tends to go at a faster pace

the college game is for fun.

i think the kids want to play their hearts out.

the pros have other plans.

That is for sure although Kareem Abdul Jabbar got the dunk banned in college basketball for over 10 years

They had it in for the man.

he was too good.

and he was changing the game without the permission of the forces that be.

Yes.

I am not sure the coaches deserve that much pay however - in 39 states a football or basketball coach makes the most money

the coaches are not the most important, but they get paid the most.

anyway, great chat there!

Yes I would personally rather play basketball at the US supreme court

I would not.
Have a great day!

Yes but I would have a better chance of beating Ginsberg than Jordan!


Hi!

Are you a fan of Jordan Peele?

I'm so glad he won an Oscar for Get Out.

Thankfully he finished writing it after stopping 20 times!

Somewhat, Its good he didn't give up.

Glad he won the Oscar too!

I'm not surprised Walt Disney holds the record for the most Oscars.

I'm not surprised either honestly.

Just as I wasn't too surprised to discover Daniel Day-Lewis is the only actor to win an Oscar for best actor three times!

Oh I know.
He's the best actor.
All of his movies are great!
!

So true!

Were you also a fan of Blazing Saddles?

It's crazy it was nominated for three Oscars!

Now that surprised me.

Ha!

Yes, that's funny.
I can remember it.
Did you see Frozen?
It was inspired by The Snow Queen.

That's interesting!

I wasn't aware of that!

I do know that Jennifer Lee, the writer and co-director, was the first Disney animation feature film female director and also the first female director whose movie made more than 1 billion at the box office.

That was awesome and quite an accomplishment!

Agree, being the first female.Robert Lopez is one of twelve people to win an emmy, grammy, oscar and a tony!

Wow!

Now that's truly an accomplishment right there.

Talk about a jack of all trades!

And here I thought Eminem having more Oscars than Johnny Depp, Leo, Will Smith, Bill Murray and George Lucas combined was impressive, not as impressive as Robert Lopez's accomplishments.

Ha!

Do you watch basketball?
I didn't know New Zealand had a team.

I wasn't aware of that either.

I do watch and enjoy basketball though.

I do think it's crazy the highest paid employee in 39 of the 50 states are either college football or basketball coaches.

That's kind of sad, really.

lol, I agree.

James Naismith who invented basketball is the only losing coach at the University of Kansas.

That's kind of ironic, isn't it?

Did you know there's a basketball court on the top floor of the supreme court building which is called "the highest court in the land"?

Ha!

Good name!!
Great way to get exercise at work.

No kidding!

Ha!

But them there's athlete's like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who got dunking banned from college basketball for over a decade.

He must have been a monster dunker!

lol, i agree to get banned.

We talked about the Oscars earlier, did you also know that the Oscars themselves were nominated for 9 Emmys back in 2013?

Yes, I saw that.
How does that work?

Good question.

Ha!

Since the Emmys are basically the Oscar equivalent for television and was modeled after the Oscars, it's a little strange!

yeah!
It doesn't make sense.
lol Have a good night!!
Good chat!

True.

But as long as the Oscars keep awarding and nominating first time directors like Jordan Peele, then they deserve awards too I suppose.

Crazy he's only the third first time director to have their directorial debuts appear in all three categories.

Well it was great chatting with you as well.

Have a great evening!


Hi there, do you watch the Academy Awards?

Occasionally.

I am not a fan of the political commentary, but I enjoy seeing the actors recognized for fine performances.

Nice.
Did you ever watch Blazzing Saddles?
It was nominated for three Oscars

Oh, yeah.

Lilly von Shtoop is a fine actress...

But I prefer the acting of legendary actor Daniel Day-Lewis, the only actor to win best actor 3 times

Yeah that is quite something for him.

Funny enough Eminem has won more Oscars than Leo di Caprio

I would never have guessed that one.

But I would have guessed that Walt Disney would be recognized, but 22 oscars?

Unreal!

I know they guy has set the standard too high now.

Even Oscars were nominated for 9 Emmys.

Strange

And the Emmy for best Academy Awards show goes to...the Academy Awards.

Accepting on behalf of the Academy, James Naismith, the inventor of the game of basketball, who also is the only losing coach in Univ of Kansas history!

Hhahaha that is so strange really.

I guess it took a while to get the game going.

Still those coaches are the highest paid state employees

Yeah.

Strange world we live in.

One where New Zealand nicknames their basketball team, the Tall Blacks!

I wonder how that flies there really.

Have you heard of the highest court on land?

Yes, the basketball court where Ruth Bader-Ginsberg dominates at the boards!

I wonder how tall that building is really.

Do you ever watch animated movies?

Yes, I loved the film, Frozen.
You?

Yes me too.

,It was the first DIsney movie to be written directed by a female

Yeah, and the first female to direct a feature film that earned more than $1 billion.

Now that is shattering the glass(ice) ceiling!

What an achievement.

Did you know Elsa was originally scripted to be the villain?

Ah, but with such a great song--Let it go--how could she remain a villian?

I know that is the only reason she was changed to a good character because the song was so uplifting

And to think, the movie Frozen was originally going to be called "Snow Queen"  but the folks at Disney decided that feminine names are bad...

THat makes me sad honestly, that we judge based on that.


lets talk about earth.

Its sad that More than 80 percent of the earth's natural forests have already been destroyed

Yes it could have happened during the  4.5 billion years of existing.

How did they know that a day was only 5.5 hours long ?

yeah thats When earth was first formed

Wow Earth will be virtually helium-free

By the end of this century.
I wonder why .

the united nations  thinks that aliens will visit us

Yes they appointed  a official ambassador

I love you tube.

Youtube is the second largest search engine on the net.

Google bought the Good investment site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion

I have never seen Justin bieber's "baby"

No one liked it lol

Netflix and youtube eats up all the internet traffic in north america

And most of it is in my house.
I love Netflix and YouTube

I would like to check out blutube

Me too.

Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim are genuineness

You know I really dont like Pandora because of the freemium service platform

Its cool with me.

Aloe blacc only received $12k in royalties from pandora for 168 million streams

I do like the comedy

Yes the stand up is funny and has lots of good people

You are excellent.
I will listen to pandora now


Hi!

Are you into politics?

Did you follow the interesting Senate race in Texas this year?

I've heard a litte, O'Rourke really gave Cruz a run for his money

Yeah, I think it's because of his charisma, good timing, and viral videos of him defending progressive ideals and policies.

Not sure what relentless shoe-leather politicking means though.

Yea I'm sure O'Rourke being an electric bassist in the 90s helped him seem more relatable

Yeah!

He even toured the US and Canada with his punk rock band!

Yea, Ted Cruz seems out of touch, especially tweeting a photo of O'rourke from when he was in the band

Wonder if that was a tactic he used to bash each other.

It's too bad that despite his progressive views, young people vote at significantly lower rates that older voters and in Texas that could be a bad thing for O'Rourke

Yea, apparently baby boomers don't like rock music or long hair

Maybe they like beards, because every US president with a beard has been a republican.

Yea and since 1928 every republican ticket has had a Bush or it too, or a Nixon

Oh wow, that is true!

Maybe the next election would break the record that there hasn't been a US president who wasn't a Republican or Democrat since 1800s

Yea, the US needs more colors than just red and blue

Or different animals, do you know what other parties representative colors and animals are?

I know Democrats are an ass and the Republican are elephants for some reason.

Apparently Harry Truman didn't want to be photographed riding dumbo because he was an elephant

I would vote for him, he's loyal to his party!

Are presidents a form of celebrity because if they are, they get to visit Pixar studios which has a secret room that is often visited by celebrities.

I would suppose so, celebrity or not I think the president can visit Pixar's secret room

Yeah, does that mean secret service agents can go in as well?

I suppose.

I wonder if Judge Judy has a secret room, she can afford one making 123,000 an episode

I can't believe she's the highest paid celebrity after Lebron James, I remember reading somewhere that the main character on the show House made the most

Yea, I wonder if she's a republican or a democrat that supports social programs, labor unions, and universal healthcare

Seeing that she deals with certain issues, she may be a Democrat but not sure.

I sure am learning more about history or politics than I ever did in school.

Yea plus I learned Fox news threatened to sue the simpsons, how ironic

Oh really?
How come?

For parodying fox-news anti-democratic agenda.

Well it was nice talking with you


Have you heard about some politicians who actually get along???

I don't hear about it often!
How about you?

There were two in Maryland named Baker and Legett who worked for years together and left as great friends

I read a little on that too!

It sounds like they started out as professor and student- did you read the same?

Is that what happened?
I wasn't quite sure.

Yeah I guess Baker was a law student at Howard and Leggett was the dean who pushed him to finish school.

Cool story!

I don't feel like I don't hear happy political stories often enough haha

That's the truth!

It sounds like toward the end they both had a lot of personal things that pushed them to leave.

Did they?

I didn't read that part.

Does it sound like they were still on good terms when they left?

I couldn't tell!

They were, but aparently one of the spouses had alzheimer's and the other lost his father in that last year.

Oh wow.

That's rough.

On a happier note, I was reading some interesting trivia-type facts on elections.

Did you know since 1900, the taller presidential candidate has won the election 75% of the time?

Thats cool!

Interestingly less than 63% of people have turned out for elections in the last 100 years

That's crazy!

I know not everyone votes, but thats a pretty low number.

Did you know officials in ancient Athens were chosen via lottery because they wanted to avoid a potential oligarchy?

Apparently they thought thats what voting would lead to

Lottery!

I guess then there is a chance everyone could be in charge.

In nevada you can vote for none of the above!

I read that too!

I wonder what would happen if everyone selected that.

I guess its only one state in a presidential election so maybe it wouldn't be noticeable.

I may move there and try it out next time!

Hopefully they don't block poll observers like was done in 2012

Yeah that option might have come in handy for the last election!

I wonder if they give the same option for smaller/local elections?

My favorite album was written and released by Pink Floyd in 1973 but still a best seller in 2014

Yeah!

I love Dark Side of the Moon!

Not surprising its still relevant.

Did you know Straight Outta Compton was the first album to go platinum without touring or airplay?

I didn't!
that is awesome!

Speaking of rap, apparently there were two 100 year old twins who released a rap album together in 1992...probably didn't go platinum but kind of a funny fact!

Have a great afternoon


Hi there !
Looking forward to chat with You !
;)

Hello, looking forward to it as well.

By any chance You're Linking Park's fan ?

I do like Linkin Park may favorite CD was hybrid theory.

what about you?

I like a song or two - yeah -  "hybrid theory" is the best-selling album of the 21st century - pretty amazing.

Do You have a favorite song ?

My favorite on that album is In the End.

YES ;) mine too.
That vocal was amazing !
;)  was... such a shame...

It is really too bad.
What other music do you like?

Mostly classic rock, blues.

Some metal or Celtic folk - how about You ?

I have a pretty diverse taste in music.

Rap, R & B, Classic Rock, pop ect.

I was really into rap as kid did you know the Nwa's straight outta compton was the first album to reach platinum status without the suppor airplay.

Naah man, I didn't know that ;) I never liked rap - no offense, I didn't find it... well - musical enough ;)

TO each their own.

I got into it because I liked Tupac and his lyrics and poems.

There where two identical twins from Japan that made an album at the age of 100.

I will never understand that ;) ( the "Tupac" thing )  - 100 years and they made an album ?

music album ?

Do You know what kind of music ?

It was a rap album!

of course it was... ;) lol

Lol.

Foreign rap is not my cup of tea but good for them.

Did you know that Darkside of the moon is still one of the best selling albums even being 40 years old?

Thank God we're talking about music finally ;) Well I'm not surprised it's a great album and after all those years I still can't get enough of it - I just bought a vinyl like 2 weeks ago... do You like Pink Floyd ?

I do I am pretty eclectic.
What is your favorite song?

from that album ?

I think "Breathe" and "Time"  I do love The Division Bell and "High Hopes" on that album.

Plus entire "The Wall" ;) what's Yours ?

From darkside of the moon I would agree with breathe and over all Pink Floyd song Idk there are so many to pick just one

You are absolutely right my friend ;) I hope Roger Waters will do another tour in US, I want to see him again ;)

That would be awesome.
What other music do you like?

I love Joe Bonamassa, Nirvana, Dire Straits, Metallica, -recently I've discovered Black Country Communion and Kingdom Come ;) and if You like something really peaceful I recommend Loreena McKennit ;)

I think it is interesting how people can vary so much.

Even with my kids.

My oldest likes rap and pop, my youngest likes pop and my 4 year old likes rock and classic rock.

oh good for them :) my daughter when she was like 1, she was always falling asleep to Metallica ;) it was her lullaby :)

Nice, he is like rock radar.

He always finds good music on the radio.

The other two just want to listen to uptown funk on repeat

that's ok, what's most important is that they like music - taste will probably change once or twice in their lives ;)

Agreed :)

Hey it was great chatting with You today, thank You ;)

You too!


hi how are you?
Do you listen to albums these days?

Hi, I'm good.
Yes I listen to albums.
Are you familiar with the Moody Blues?

Yes, i am!
wow, that is going back a ways.
what album?

I go back a ways.

The Dark Side of The Moon was one of the best selling albums of 2014.

Yes, it was a great album and continues to get new fans every year.

Have you tried the dark side of oz, since you go back a ways?

No, what is that?

Watch the Wizard of Oz.

at a certain point in the film, turn on Dark side as the soundtrack.

Okay I'll give that a try.

Given how quickly we have gone from records, to tapes, to Cd's, how long do you think is will be before Cd's are obsolete?

No need for physical media soon.

i figure people will not want to own stuff that takes up space.

Exactly.

But there are still people who think that 33's have a better sound.

I'm not one of them.

What do you think?

I do not see the value in old recordings on old media.

they are warmer because of the high end roll off but i figure you can emulate that with software.

I think so too.

Are you old enough to remember 8 track tapes?

I do remember the 8 trax.

i never owned one.

i guess they sounded better?

seems to be expensive but not that much better.

No they didn't sound better.

But at the time it was the first media that you could play in a car.

We thought they were great.

But they really sucked.

Yeah, people like convenience more than quality, i think.

the walkman was convenient but the sound was limited.

Yeah, I think they just didn't have enough power to generate good sound.

But I think the ultimate is still the reel to reel if you don't mind the space they take up.

Wow, that is an expensive setup.

I would rather have something convenient.

i like sound, and appreciate good sound, but i dont have the money for the high end.

LOL

I don't either.

But I think recording studios still make the initial recordings on these devices.

I thought things would be digital now for convenience.

Anyway, great chat!

Yes.

Thanks for the chat and have a good evening.

Have a good night!

Thanks.


Do you have a favorite celebrity?

Do Youtube personalities that are famous count as a celebrity?

If they do, I really like a dude named Michael Jones.

That is fine me with, I think celebrity is anyone famous to many people.

What does Michael Jones do?

He works for a company called Roosterteeth, and to be fair they have made 2 movies which he was the main character of both.

interesting I will have to check it out.

I wonder how much he makes for those.

Judge Judy makes like 123000 per episode

Speaking of Judge Judy, did you know her bailiff Petri Hawkins-Byrd makes a million per year from that show, pretty crazy since he doesn't really do anything haha.

WHAT!

i would love to do that and get paid that much to stand around and be in front of the camera, lol!

Yeah that is pretty crazy money for doing literally nothing lol.

Did you know that robin Williams started the trend of celebrities doing voice overs for animation with his role in Aladdin?

I did not know that, I still don't get why celebrities need to be in animated films because of their voice, but it was awesome though

For me it really depends on the voice, Robin Williams was almost made for animated voice acting just because of his range in doing different voices.

Yea lol, he was amazing, sad he is with us no longer!

I wonder if he got to visit Pixar's secret room for celebrities

I am sure he did, as much animation work as he was doing.

Did you know Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street?

Wow, I never knew that.

I was just watching that with my daughter, it is all celebrities now!

Did you there has not been a US president that was not a republican or democrat since 1853?

that just shows how strongly people believe in the two party system.

wow, I wonder who that president was, do you know?

It was Millard Fillmore, he was part of a party called "the Whig Party".

lol, they need to bring the Whig Party back, I am all for that, lol!

Yeah the two party system in my opinion is not working all that well anymore, every time a president is up for election it just turns into a slug fest and who can find the worst stuff out about the other and air it out in front of the world.

Right, I am interested to see how the debates go this time, Trump can't just bully them this time.

It was so nice chatting with you!

I am hoping he does not get away with his shenanigans again this coming year as well.

It has been a nice chat.

Have a great weekend!


Do you know anything about

About what?

Sorry, Beto O'Rourke.
I've been reading about him.

Is he a republican?

No, I believe he was running as a Democrat.

So what have you been reading about him?

I read an article about why he supports National Football League players.

What is the reason?

I would guess that he appreciates anyone expressing political opinions.

The NFL players were protesting police brutality right?

I believe so, but the specifics do not matter so much.

Beto O'Rourke appeals to young people.

How so?

Well, younger people tend to vote away from what they perceive as the "get off my lawn" candidate.

Is it because younger people can't stand the gop?

I do not know.

It is ironic that the GOP started as the party of classic liberalism.

What do you think about the republican party as a whole?

I find it interesting that every president with a Beard has been a republican.

What a coincidence.

Another coincidence may be that since wwii, the us economy consistently performs under democratic presidents

Perhaps the country could elect someone from a third party, breaking the nearly 170-year string.

I believe Roosevelt came incredibly close as a 3rd party, but stopped just short

I wonder if Roosevelt could have gotten into the celebrity room at Pixar, had the studio existed.

Perhaps, afterall, if I was Pixar, it would be an honor to have roosevelt visit.

In any case, thank you for the enjoyable chat.


Hello, do you like music albums?

I do.

Did you know that Bob Marley has been on the album chart for over 914 weeks?

Wow I did not know that.

Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory album is the best selling album of the 21st century.

Now that is hard to believe!

If you're looking for a non-censored album at Walmart you won't find it.

They only sell clean versions of albums and if an artist refuses to make a clean version they will not sell it.

That's interesting!

Reel Big Fish re-recorded all of their albums after losing rights to their old record label.

Funny that they could get away with it.
Good for them!

I agree.

Two identical twins in Japan released a rap album when they turned 100 years old.

Oh, I can't imagine what that sounds like!

I find it funny that Led Zeppelin decided not to title their fourth album, to confuse the hated rack press.

I think that's funny as well.
Do you know much about elections?

I do!

I love the election season.

I'm not sure of the year, but a cat named Hank placed third in the VA senate election.

I would have liked to see the reaction to that!

Me too.
That would be very cool to see.

I agree and I'm sure it was a good laugh.

Did you know that all elections in Oregon are conducted by mail?

I like going to the polls!

I did not know that.
I love going to the polls as well.

I'm surprised that  the 2012 US election was the first US election since 1944 in which neither major party ticket had a veteran on it.

Kinda sad if you ask me.

Very sad.

Officials in ancient Athens were appointed by lottery.

Now that method sounds pretty scary.

That's a big gamble!

Psephology is the study of results and other statistics relating to elections.

I'd like to see the study on the lottery for elections!

I think so too.

Since 1900, the taller candidate for the president usually wins by about 75% of the time.

Wow.

That's a big advantage.

A win based on no qualifications, just a physical measure!

It compares to the fact that the fastest blinker in the Presidential debates has lost every election since 1980!

I agree.
Do you know much about governors?

I know some.

I know the Governor of Oklahoma has an Oklahoma shaped pool.

Having spent a lot of time in OK I love that!

That's pretty awesome he had a pool in the shape of the state!

Well, it was great chatting with you today!


Hi there what do you think about the Republican party?

It's definitely had a long history

It certainly has, although I would say I align myself more politically a little blue.

ya I agree, but what is interesting to me is that we have had a democrat or a republican always elected to president since 1853

I wonder if the two party system has always been that strong that a candidate from another party cant break through.

Like 15% of tea party supporters aligned themselves as democrats

That is interesting.

Another interesting fact is that every president with a beard has been a republican.

I wonder why that is

I dont know, I wonder how many that is, I know lincoln for sure,

Yep you're right.

I know you said that you lean blue, I guess that red and blue has only been consistently associated with Republicans and Democrats since about the year 2000, I always thought it was a lot earlier than that

I did too, I wonder when the Donkey and Elephant came into play, if those are more recent too or if they have a history as well.

That's a good question.

Also I heard that Harry Truman would not get his picture taken with Dumbo because he was a Democrat and obviously Dumbo is an elephant, that seems pretty dumb, would a republican not get his picture taken with Eeyore?

Im not sure, it might be something the Simpsons would parody (and subsequently anger Fox news)

What's interesting to me is that Ronald Reagan campaigned for the Democrats back in the day, he actually did not like corporate profits and low wages and was railing against them

Wow.

I think the lines of political parties are becoming more and more defined, and more people tend to go to extremes more now than in the past.

I agree, do you like any current celebrities?

I know that Judy makes a ton of money and shes pretty famous

I do like some of the current celebrities.

I like Judge Judy's attitude and sarcasm.

I think its crazy that she is just under LeBron for highest paid celeb.

Yep you're right.

He makes about $120,000 per episode, that's insane, do you like Robin Williams?

I'm pretty sad that he's gone

I agree, I loved his work.

He was such a pioneer in the field.

He really started the trend of actors voicing animated characters.

It is a shame that someone who lit up the world of others was struggling so much.

Yep I agree with you.

I wonder if he ever got to visit the Pixar secret room.

They have a secret room just for celebrities, I hope he was able to

I wonder what their qualifications for celebrity are, like if the person has to be current, or from the US?

Yep that's a good question.

for instance, there's a celebrity chef in Ethiopia.

Would he be allowed to enter haha

From what I hear he is doing work towards fighting hunger in his country.

That would qualify him in my book, although I dont even know his name.

I agree with you there, he's trying to help his countrymen to eat foods that are more diverse so that they can combat the hunger, but again I don't know if he's gotten access to that room, maybe we should start a fundraiser for that haha

Now I kinda want to become famous so I can go see that room.

Maybe its just a plain room with some couches and beverages that they play us so the rest of us wonder.

Haha yep or maybe it's just an empty room lol, have you ever seen the show Sesame Street, I guess the first celebrity ever appear on there was Carol Burnett


Hello - how are you today?

Im great, did you watch the Black Panther movie?

I did not.
Was it any good?

It was pretty good, you should watch it sometime, Chadwick Boseman plays the role of Black Panther

I'll have to check it out.
Do you like soundtracks?

I do, some movies have great sound tracks, do you?

I do as well.

Steven Spielberg played the clarinet in the Jaws soundtrack.

Oh so that was Spielberg, nice I didnt know he was a musician as well

I didn't know that either.

O Brother Where Art Though is certified 8 times platinum.

I didnt know that either, what movie is that the soundtrack off?

do you know?

It's called O Brother Where Art Though.

It's a pretty good movie with George Clooney.

Oh I see, did you watch the movie Tron Legacy, it also has a great soundtrack

I did not.
Was it a good movie?

It was a great movie, futuristic, theres a sequel thats also great,

That's good.

Did you know two identical twins from Japan released a rap album when they turned 100 years old.

I didnt, that must be a cool album wonder if theres a video, I have to watch that

You should be able to find the video online.

Im going to search it in Youtube thats a sure thing, do you like Linkin Park?

I love Linkin Park.
What about you?

I love the band as well, their album the Hybrid Theory is the best-selling album of the 21st century

It was great talking to you!


Have you watched the movie Black Panther?

No, I haven't seen it.
Have you seen it?
Is it a good film?

I liked it a lot, I thought it had a great soundtrack as well.

Most Marvel universe movies are pretty good

K

You know there was a time when Marvel offered the rights to their characters to Sony but they only bought the rights for Spiderman

Sony just didn't recognize the value of so many of the characters.

The Marvel Universe is huge.

It's interesting that Marvel trademarked the names "super-hero" and "super villain."

It is interesting, you know that there is also a shared hero between the DC and Marvel universes.

Many people have strong preferences about the two universes, but I don't.

Usually I'm not big on superhero films, though I understand the attraction for comic book fans.

Im more of a Marvel fan myself, the brand saved a lot of money by alleging that mutants werent humans, I bet that idea made them millions.

Speaking of aliens, Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel at one point so that he could produce a movie of himself as Spiderman.

That would be a horror movie indeed, it would ruin the childhood of many kids lol,its a good thing Marvel wasnt sold to him.

There have been many Spidermans, but Michael Jackson really would not be right for the role.

Maybe he could have played Blue Ear, the character created for the 4-year-old boy uncomfortable with wearing hearing aids.

I think thats really admirable, creating a superhero for a kid with dissabilities, I wonder what new projects Disney has with Marvel

Probably a ton of sequels, maybe a new character.

Black Panther could have a dozen sequels before Disney quits.

Kendrick Lamar has job security.

Yeah, Black Panther was a really popular movie and I wouldnt be suprised if more sequels were to come out, so chaging the subject a bit, what kind of music do you like, heard any good albums lately?

I don't really listen to new music much.

The industry has changed and so have tasts.

I think bands have a tricky relationship with the rock press.

Zeppelin did not give a name to their fourth album in order to confuse the press.

I bet that confused a lot of people lol, my favorite band is Linking Park and one of their albums is considered the best selling album of the century

I know that Linkin Park did a lot of touring.

Very popular live band.

They might have made more money from touring than album sales.

I know that Aerosmith made more money from the game Guitar Hero than from album sales.

That is surprising!

I wonder if the game paid extremely well or the band sign really bad deals for their albums.

They probably got a good royalty from the games company.

Musicians probably get better money from games.

Michael Jackson contributed to the soundtrack for Sonic 3.

I wonder what his contribution was, Spielberg also contributed in the soundtrack of Jaws, he played the clarinet!


Hi, how are you?

Hello, I am doing well thank you.
How about you?

I am well.
Do you like music?

Yes I do like music, I like most kinds of music.

What about you?

I like rock and jazz.

I also like classical when I need to work.

Did you know Steven Spielberg played the clarinet on Jaws?

Cool.

How interesting, no I did not know that.

Speaking of soundtracks, did you know that Phil Collins recorded the Tarzan soundtrack in 5 different languages.

Huh... Or the sound track of o brother where art thou was certified platinum 8 times over.

Wow, I don't think that I have seen that movie in entirety.

Another weird fact, Daft Punk negotiated the Tron Legacy sound track during a pancake breakfast while wearing their robot helmets.

Seems like a logical thing to do.

Like naming each track on batman begins as a genus of a bat.

Ha, interesting.

What is your preferred format for music these days?

I like digital, spotify.
You?

Same, here I don't recall the last time I bought a CD.

I used to make mixes for the car pre MP3 jacks.

Mix tapes.... HA!

Did you ever have the huge thing of CDs?

LIke a case of 100 and you actually only listened to like 5?

Ha, i meant burned CD's.

I think I had the adapter for CD's in my first car.

Yes, like a 4 plus inch thick case full of CD's that weighed like 40 pounds.

HA!

Now we have an unlimited library on our spotify or pandora account.

I remember doing some serious work on my CDs to make sure I had the right mix.

I know right.

Yes, before a trip I'd burn a new CD with all the best songs.

What is your favorite CD?

I was an early fan of Dave Matthews so I wore out Under the table and dreaming.

I never really got into Dave Matthews.

I liked the classics growing up I like Pink Floyd, probably Dark side of the Moon.

Nice!

I love Floyd.

I went on a binge yesterday and listened to division bell for about 4 hours.

Nice, even after 40 plus years Dark side of the moon is one of the best selling albums.

I love it!
Nice chatting with you!


Do you like to read?

I would love to be able to read!
Unfortunately, I am illiterate.
I cannot read a word.
What about you?
Do you like to read?

But if you are illiterate how can you read what Im writting now!

just wondering lol, and yeah I do like to read, I dont always have the time though

I guess I'm a good guesser.

I don't know.

I were always called slow when I were young.

I look to go to the library and look at the books.

That seems a bit messed up,well I like reading and wasnt great at it always so with enough hard work anyone can do it

I'm giving it my all, but I just can keep up with how fast I type.

I put the words on the screen, but I type too fast to read them all.

If I went to prison, I would read all the time.

I guess theres not much to do in prison so reading might be one of the few things that can keep you entertained

I should say so?

I couldn't just sit watching others read.

I'd have to read myself.

Did you hear about the guy that studied law in prison?

That's an incentive to learn.

I didnt, can you tell me more about him?

He was falsely imprisoned.

He knew he has to do something.

He studied law and found a way to get exonerated.

He now helps others get out of prison.

A hero.

The man is a hero.

I agree, he is a hero and that must have taken a lot of guts and determination, studying so hard that you can eventually set yourself free.

I think it's inspirational.

Reading can set you free.

I don't believe that there are more libraries than McD's.

That's not possible.

Obesity is epidemic, but reading is not.

Thats amazing, more libraries thatn McDonalds!!!

I guess there is no excuse for not picking a book up,

What if I'm eating at the moment at McD's?

I wouldn't want to get my books greasy.

Yeah probably not a good combianation, McDonalds and books, Norway supports writters they have a law thats really beneficial to them

That's an incentive to keep writing.

Usually it's hard to be a writer, especially if you're illiterate like me.

But maybe I'll move to Norway.

Yeah if you become a writter the government will buy 1000 from you and if its a childrens book they will buy 1500

I wonder how much money I would get from that.

Is it enough to live on?

How many books would I have to write every year?

Do they have to be good?

I have questions, and I cannot speak Norwegian or even read.

I dont know, I guess 1000 books at a right price can be enough for a few months or even years and then you can write another one and so on so it seems like a good business model

But it's cold in Norway!
Maybe I could go to concerts.
Do you go to concerts?

I do like attending concerts, I love music in general theres an amphitheatre in Croatia I would like to visit some time


Did you watch the movie Black Panther?

Yes I saw, it was an OK movie.

I don't remember the soundtrack even if there are famous artists on it.

I thought the soundtrack was pretty good, Kendrick Lamar is a good artists and the video of the song All the Stars is good production as well.

I don't follow him, so maybe that why it did not touch me as much, do you think the movie would have been as good if Kendrick Lamar was not involved ?

Yeah I think the movie had a great cast, great director and follows a series of successful movies so yeah

Soundtrack came a long way, it was not as important in the 70s, Steven Spielberg played the clarinet on the Jaws soundtrack, I pretty sure he is not the best clarinet player.

I like the band Daft Punk, they were the authors of the sountrack of the movie Tron, did you watch that one?

I have watched the 80s version, it did not featured Daft Punk, but I have heard the soundtrack of the remake, it was good.

Did you like it ?

I did like it, I thought it had a nice rhythm to it, I also liked the soundtrack of the movie Batman Begins,

I have heard that each track was a  name of a bat family, but I still did not saw the movie, only the the 90s original, it had also a great soundtrack.

You should definetely watch the movie, its one of my favorites although Marvel Comics heros are pretty awesome as well.

I saw a few films from the Marvel universe, what is your favorite Marvel movie ?

I loved the Avengers movie but also like Iron Man, he is one of my favorite heroes, what about you?

I really liked Thor : Ragnarock, it was funny.

I don't like it when that take themselves to seriously, but sometimes it works like in Logan.

I thought it was a great movie as well and thats what I like about Marvel they mix comedy with action and great heroes.

And to think that Sony could have bought the rights to all heroes in 98 for $25 million, they probably are still regretting that decision.

I bet they are as each hero is worth a lot more now, I guess they didnt have faith on the franchise.

Yeah it was a risk, now that is not a risk anymore they are worth a lot and that why Disney paid a lot more than $25 million.

I think that was the right call, Disney doesnt have the complete rights though, they cant show big charaters in theme parks as Universal has the rights for those

It is strange in California, it is OK, but not in Florida.

But competition is always good.

It will make better rides for the public.

I agree, although Universal Studios is falling behind, you know Marvel argued that mutants werent humans in court and received a great benefit from that.

Most of the money went to the lawyers, I guess the next superhero franchise will be Objection-Man

It wont be long that is for sure lol

Hello!

Hi, how are you doing tonight?

I am great!

Thanks :) So do you like reading and going to the library?

Half of Americans have library cards.

I still go sometimes.

I don't go to the library much.

I usually do research online.

Still, there are more libraries than Mcdonald's in the US.

Yes, not a lot of people still go to the library much anymore, but I like to because they have actual books and I love books!

In Sacramento you can go to one and check out sewing machines among other items, lol that is great

Yeah, other places have a similar setup.

In Berkeley they have a tool library.

Some folks can't afford tools, so they can borrow.

Oh my GOD, socialism!

Some folks need temporary help, and I don't mind if some of my tax dollars go to something like that.

I agree!

I don't mind my tax dollars going towards helping people.

I would like to write and publish a book, in Norway the government will buy 100 copies and send them to libraries throughout the country.

The Norway gov't has a ton of money from oil.

I guess I would move there and become a children's author if it weren't for the cold and snow.

Still, the women are inspirational.

Very true, it's a great idea and very valued there I am sure.

I like that a man falsely imprisoned  spent most of his time at the library to study law and prove his innocence.

Books, man, they are SO powerful.

Makes me wish I could read.

But I'm illiterate.

I read about that, he was very smart to do what he did...self taught, wow and in law that must have been tough.

But yes libraries are amazing, the books in print in your hand has great meaning for me, I like to collect books.

You are illiterate?

I can't read even one word!

It's a miracle that I can type the words that I do.

How are about you?

Are you literate?

Did you learn to read at the library?

I learne

It's a noble pursuit.

Learn to read, and you can teach yourself.

Maybe you could even run for Congress one day.

Sorry that last text sent on accident lol...I learned to read in school.

But did go the library a lot too.

I am sure a lot of people teach themselves a lot through books on their own.

Run for Congress?

No way lol, I wouldn't do well in Congress and politics.

You couldn't do worse than the people in there.

Plus you could ride on the exclusive subway lines that they have for Congress.

You are right on that!

I wonder if their subway plays any music at all?

Have been to any concerts lately?

Naw, concerts cost money and I'm broke, baby, I'm broke!

That's too bad, me too!

I have been to concerts throughout my life though.

Seen a lot of my favorite bands.

Have you seen Linkin Park?

I heard really good things about their concerts.

I wish!

One of the few bands I didn't get to see live, and now Chester Bennington has passed so I probably won't see the band without him.

They played 324 concerts one year, that's a lot of shows.

Ah, the energy of youth!
Maybe they didn't sleep?
I don't know how they did that.

Well, the Ramones played 2,263 concerts over a 20 year span, non stop.

I think they just make it their life.

It has been great chatting!

Have a great evening!

The Ramones are fueled by drugs and passion.

I could never manage to sustain that kind of energy.

They are not human.

You have a point there, I know I couldn't do it!


Hello, how are you?

hello!
I'm good!
How are you?
Do you like comics?

Yeah, to some degree.
I don't read many though.

I don't read many either but I do like Marvel.

Have you ever heard of Lady Killer?

Honestly, no I haven't.
I've read more on the DC side of things

Really?

I heard recently that back in 1938 DC paid $130 dollars for the exclusive rights to superman.

Yeah, they've got their money's worth, that's for sure.

They definitely did!

I guess comics really got popular in the 1930s.

I would say a bit later, but they do call it the golden age for a reason.

I guess they do at that!

Did you know that Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel so he could play spiderman in a movie?

I've heard rumors of it, but never if it was true or not.

I do feel bad for him, he never really was a child.

I know.

With his popularity back then Marvel should have financed a movie with him in it.

It probably would have been a blockbuster.

It would have been interesting, to say the least.

I can see why they didn't want to risk Spiderman though, make him into a joke.

I suppose.
Are you interested in outerspace?

Yeah, I love space and science stuff.
Big nerd.
:)

What do you think about Jupiter saving us from asteroids?

I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be at least partly true.

It's a big gravity well, protects us.

As does the moon

I can see how it would stop some asteroids.

You know, on the subject of gravity, the hudson bay region in canada has less gravity than anywhere else on the planet.

Interesting, I wonder if its due to the density of rock below the bay or if there's something else going on

I don't know.

Would rock density make a difference in some way?

Yeah, a great deal.
Mass and gravity are intertwined.

I see.
That's interesting to think about.
