I saw this when it came out
 
this and Lock, Stock, and 2 smoking barrells are 2 of my favorite movies.
 
I actually have a slightly amusing story about this movie.
 
At my last job i was telling a coworker about it, and i couldn't remember Jason Statham's name. All I could remember was his name was Turkish.
 
So I went to my desk, and I googled "turkish snatch"
 
the search results were not what I expected, but I should have known better. The funny part is the Net admin and I ended up talking about the movie as well once he called me into his office to explain why I was looking at porn at work.

If I don't know the answer, I can at least help research it.

I managed to miss another D&D session but I'm lucky Sam the GM enjoys writing a synopsis for those that couldn't make it.
 
So Andy and Phil and update for you both. After a long rest at the drow encampment during which time Tom stole the dark elf mage’s shoes, and Andy found a magical panther statuette, the guys investigated the area discovering a cavern that led down to the underdark, to a Drow household. The guys decided wandering around in the underdark was probably not a good idea but Tom, being the klepto he is swiped 3 of the phosphorous mushrooms growing nearby. The team ventured out of the drow encampment following the coastline to the port town of Mason. When they arrived it was nighttime and the guards were under orders to not allow anyone in (except if bribed). Tom managed to convince the guard the dark mage shoes were magical. He was pleased and allowed passage into Arnoch.
The team, having been travelling for 2 days went to the local tavern to get a room and food. The tavern, The One Horse Open Sleigh run by Helga, was busy everyone ordered food and drink. Tom spotted some sailors playing dice in the corner and joined in. Turns out they were loaded dice. Tom managed to swipe them and sneak off. The team had a discussion with a locale who they overheard talking about the St Anne being hijacked by pirates and taken to Ship Wreck Cove.
Meanwhile Paul spotted a rich looking merchant in the corner eating. Patrick used his magic to create a small disturbance knocking the merchant’s drink over. Paul fluffed the pickpocketing and the merchant wasn’t too happy, threatening Paul with a butter knife. Paul swiped it causing the merchant to draw his sword. He struck Paul. Happy he’d drawn blood he offered a truce. Paul wasn’t having any of this and decided to throw a severed drow head at the guy (they cut the head off the mage). He missed and the head rolled into the corner. Tom tried to diffuse the situation by staggering into them ‘drunk’ then throwing himself onto the table. The table collapsed and the man’s food was sent flying.
Paul hit the merchant. Two town’s guardsmen approached to break up the fight. Patrick, being a priestly cleric, managed to convince them the fight was started by the merchant who was dragged off.
Helga, not too pleased with the mess and destruction demanded payment for the damages. Paul gave 2 gold pieces. Helga was happy and offered to let them break another table. Everyone retired to the room (only Patrick sleeps as you’re all elves).
In the morning after breakfast, the team decided to visit the marketplace. 
Tom, wanting to flog his phosphorous mushrooms went to the alchemist. The Korean gnome greeted them. After haggling the gnome was only interested in buying them if Tom brought him 500 by tomorrow. Tom wasn’t happy and pushed over a display on his way out.
They went to the nearby blacksmiths, Paul bought some throwing daggers. Tom tried to dazzle and amaze the smith into a good deal by producing a magical glowing mushroom. The only problem, the mushrooms only glow slightly and it was broad daylight next to a roaring fire. The dwarven smith was not impressed.
The team then got an Uber carriage to South Ridge (where the cave was). It took 2 days (they got back roughly a week after they left to investigate the drow encampment). As they approached they could smell burning and arrived to find the whole town burnt to the ground with fires still raging. Everyone was dead. 
Tom, distraught about Florin’s death, stole his shoes.
They noticed a huge trail leading out of the mines, as though something big had been dragged out of the mines. They followed to find the cave stripped of all the crystals and the silvery liquid gone. Leaving only a big well like hole.
From behind them approached a high elf called Azreal. He claimed to be the guardian of he cave. He’d been there for 200 years protecting it from discovery; however roughly a week ago he’d had to leave for supplies only to come back to a defiled cave.
He warned that great evil had been unleashed and wasn’t convinced when the team demanded he help them as he ‘failed in his job’. He disappeared into the shadows.
The guys followed the trail from the cave back out. Tom then decided to break into the remnants of the keep (which was still burning). He ran in looking for stuff to loot and fell through the weakened floor. He landed in a room where some money was stored a bit injured. He grabbed 33 gold pieces and a ruby before he place started to collapse around him. He took more damage.
They left the town to follow the trail that was leading to Arnoch (the main citadel). They didn’t get far before a group of 10 knights from the citadel rode up to investigate the distraction.
Initially they thought the team were the cause until they were shown the drow head and told about Hayder’s mission for them.
The knights agreed to escort them back to Arnoch, but first they needed to rest. Everyone started a long rest when they were interrupted by a roaming band of 10 orc worg riders and a chieftain. Combat ensued. One knight was killed by a surprise arrow to the neck. The guys put up a good fight, with support from the knights killing all the orcs. Another Knight fell in combat and the pitiful orc chieftain, barely put up a fight being killed pretty quickly.

If I don't know the answer, I can at least help research it.

I have an S8. I really like it. I hate Bixby too. Disabled that bullshit and remapped the button to my camera like Bart.

Via the FG App

Okay, I gotcha! I didn't realize you were a newb for android.
 
So I dislike the newer GalaxyUI's
I don't find them intuitive, probably because I am old, and have reached a point where change, purely for new shininess, is annoying.
 
Nova Launcher is an app that completely changes the UI in Galaxy, there are a variety of options, I run the one that makes my phone look like the older Galaxy S3 and S4. If you are coming from apple products you might like the new Galaxy UI. I can't really say either way.
 
I will say this though, the Android is almost fully customizable, you just have to be willing to do the legwork to find how to do it.

I need to restart my farm when I have time it seems. Is this going to be cross platform, or no? ( I doubt it, but I wanted to ask)

I don't understand Samsungs need for the curved edges. They are annoying more than anything.
 
I enjoy the phone to be honest, but I had to do several things on it to get it where its actually okay.
 
disable/ remove as many Bixby services as I could Download the Bixby Button remap app. Then I changed the Bixby button to open up my camera. Download Nova Launcher and get it set up. Once I did those, it is actually an amazing phone.
Bixby is the biggest issue I have with Samsung products though. They really need to just stop trying to force people to use it.
 
I also picked up a Samsung Gear S3 frontier. Which is absolutely amazing!
 

 
 

I have a samsung galaxy s9+

ESPN to bring back 'The Ocho' for day of dodgeball, chess boxing
 
ESPN will bring back “The Ocho” on Aug. 8 for the second straight year.
The channel will rebrand ESPN2 for 24 hours of obscure sports coverage, including competitive eating, dodgeball, chessboxing, kabbadi, darts, sumo wrestling and cornhole. The company tried out the same experiment on ESPNU in 2017.
The name “The Ocho” is a reference to the 2004 movie “DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story,” in which a dodgeball tournament was televised on the fictional “ESPN8: The Ocho.”
 
The name also explains the choice of Aug. 8 — the eighth day of the eighth month.
  Sandwiched between showings of “DodgeBall” at midnight and 10 p.m. that day, the schedule includes screenings of 2006 competitive bratwurst and hamburger-eating contests, as well as some new content such as “The Saber Legion 2018: Awakening” — a full-contact sport in which players fight with lightsabers fashioned after the “Star Wars” franchise.
In the middle of the day will be airings of “E:60,” ESPN’s investigative newsmagazine show, and “SportsCenter” at 11 a.m. and noon, respectively. They are likely to be versions of the same show focused only on obscure sports.
And what is chessboxing? It’s just chess plus boxing. Players alternate between a four-minute round of chess and a round of boxing, the winner being decided by checkmate or knockout — whichever comes first. 

“Best of Chess Boxing” will be broadcast at 5 p.m. Aug. 8, live on “The Ocho.”

Thoughts on this after a few days.
(I wont' go into game library comparisons)
 
Being able to play all my old digital 360 games is pretty amazing to be honest.
 
The menu system is absolutely horrible. OMG it is bad. I am pretty sure they had blind people test it using braille enabled controllers.
I actually had to ask my nephew how to turn the damned thing off. It is all so counter-intuitive.
 
Graphic's and sound are actually amazing, but its hard getting passed the horrible menu system.
 
The controller is good, it feels nice in Destiny 2, really quick and responsive. My KD actually was better in the crucible. This might be because most good players are on PS4. If so, I should be wrecking shop here soon.
 
The Xbox Game pass subscription service is also pretty nice for 10$, the game selection was better than the PS4 version of it.
 
Using it as a media center is also better, sort of.... Once again the menu system is absolute shit. Their appeared to be more streaming services on it than what the PS4 had, I need to look into this more.
 
Conclusion:
 
The system is actually really good, if you can ignore the UI.
 
The UI is so terrible that is obvious to me why PS4 is dominating right now purely based on user experience.
 
If Microsoft were to address the shit menu system, I could see the Xbone X being a better system to be honest.
 
I have read a lot of horror stories about hardware issues, so I will have to see how this treats me over the next few months.
 

Pretty much what Rob said.

I have been doing the same on the clan sections of reddit, but sadly I have gotten zero traffic from it.
 
I am going to jump over and try to do the same on the Xbox sections here soon.
