The yellow slice is not centered and it's upsetting me
I think you got it backwards, I mean the new one doesn't have cohesion: the parallel stories don't really match with each other
Nope, as I generally want to be entertained when I spend money and time for a movie.
I'd lie if I said I expected this to be as good as the first one, but boy was that an understatement...
In one or two simlpe sentences, summarize the story of the original Beetlejuice film.
Ghost couple tries to shoo away the family who bought their house after they died. The thing gets out of hand when they hire Beetlejuice.
Why this question, tho?

I really hope that you're not gonna end up disappointed as I was yesterday coming out of the theater: I could't find one single aspect I enjoyed and still cannot
Story cohesion, justifiable plot, relatable characters, believable dialogues, good montage (there are more frame changes than a fast and furious chase sequence) and in general there is nothing that make this one look like a Tim Burton movie.
But hey we now have *checks notes* Monica Bellucci, the worst actress the big screen has ever seen...
I saw it last night: it's the worst wet fart of a movie I've seen in a long time
They quoted the word "pureed" which means there was butter and potato starch involved
... but I had such a good deal with this guitar that I couldn't miss the opportunity.
I started being interested in this kind of design since Squier reissued the Toronado in its Paranormal series, based on an old Fender model discontinued in '06.
And I found out that Ibanez gave such a design a chance in 2012 with the Roadcore Series and in particular with this mid-tier model: the RC320.
While searching some information about it, I found a listing of a guy selling one not far from where I live. It was a really, really good bargain so I ended up buying it.
The guitar is a distillate of features from all the most iconic guitars manufactured in the last century: it has a mahogany body and humbuckers like a Les Paul or a PRS, an offset shape like a Jazzmaster/Jaguar, a 648mm scale and a bolt on maple neck with rosewood board like a Stratocaster, but with a flat radius and the crazy low action only Ibanez can make.
And as an upgrade, the previous owner installed a couple of Blues Engines pickups, that have a very apt name given the warm tones they produce.
I have in mind over the next months to upgrade the electronics and since the humbuckers are splittable, add a push/push potentiometer to experiment with an alternative configuration. I'll try to post some pictures of the job.
Following the post of this week, I'm really happy of how it turned out.
Now I can retire my old Beringer TO800
For my birthday I gifted myself a DIY Pedal Kit: it's a clone of a quite famous effect, can you guess what it is?
So, I had this amp lying around in my father's basement for a while now. 13 years to be precise: It was my first practice amp back when I bought my first electric guitar. The circuit wasn't half bad, had a cool gritty marshally sound with an analogical spring reverb, but unfortunately the speaker was trash.
30 watts RMS are hard to handle for an 8 inches cheap speaker, so one morning, after an intense early '00s punk rock rehersal it simply went BZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz..... and it was gone.
And finding a new speaker that wouldn't blow up again, expecially one with such required specifications, was something I couldn't achieve 13 years ago. So eventually I gave up searching for spares and I bought a new amp.
Fast forward to a couple months ago, I need a small practice amp to carry around, now that I have a new band after a log time.
I remembered the existence of this relic from the past, went to my dad's house and I was surprised he didn't throw it away after all of this time.
I started to look for spares immediately and thanks to the power of today's internet, I was able to find that the Celestion TF0818, even tho it's not a speaker intended for guitar amps in the first place, had all the specifications I needed: 8 inches, 8 ohms, able to withstand up to 100 watts of power.
The delivery took a while to get to my house (I ordered it via a local website) but once it arrived I put it straight in.
With new guts, my old friend is back in action: the 0818 has a good response to mid-low frequencies which gives a lovely round and dark tone to the gain channel, while still being able to work with high frequencies due the small sizes.
I'm always happy to bring new life to old music equipment, it reminds us that we don't need the latest gizmos (and create unnecessary waste) if we take care of our stuff. Also, the swap was super easy, no joke I just needed a scewdriver and 10 minutes, so if you have and old amp lying around you could totally give it a shot, the results might surprise you.
This friend was gifted to me by my next door neighbour in 2009, when I was 17 and it has been love ever since.
Today it was it's cleaning day: I cleaned it all up, scraped the gunk from the fretboard and polished the frets with car scratch remover and at the end it came out so fine that made me want to share a picture with the community.
Take care of your instruments and they will last for a long time.

Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode.
Wish me luck.
