E/N sites ten years after five years gone
Where have all the E/N sites gone?
Back in the 90’s, before blogs, there were a plethora of sites that had funny images, satire, games, parody, reviews of movies and music, hacking stuff, warez, free progs and a lot of other stuff. They usually had a forum for their community.
They were, in fact, a lot like this site. But, E/N sites, websites about Everything and Nothing, have fallen out of favor. Some are still around, but since every fuck with an opinion is now blogging, and it takes next to no effort to set up a blog, and since most people are lazy fucks who want to just type their pissant opinion into a blog and not bother to code a unique, functional, interesting site and fill it with massive content and value — docweasel.com has 20k+ pages of content, not including computer generated pages — well, E/N sites are an endangered species.

Movie night at casa docweasel
These are movies that mostly sucked. For various reasons, including acting, plot, production, subject matter, whatever, they ranked 2 or under on the docweasel Save to Harddrive – Watch again – Good for a view – delete immediately – didn’t watch through scale. Your experience may vary.
TWOS
That Awkward Moment (2014) 3 shallow guys chasing girls, one after his wife dumped him, the girls, especially the blonde one, is a major bitch so it accurately reflects young adults mating behaviour. The guys want to get laid, the girls don’t know wtf they want, but they blame that on the guys. Zac Efron’s character had the best take, don’t get in a relationship at that age, it will end in tears and have damn little joy. Best advertisement in the world for ‘fuck ’em and leave ’em’ philosophy. Ultimately depressing moviewith not near enough tits and ass for the subject matter. Score:2 good to see Miles Teller working!

docweasel.com & fucking dotster
We started docweasel.com in 1996 (!) first as site for a band, then it morphed into a giant thing with a staff of over a dozen by 2001, writing humor, music and movie reviews, a webcomic, monty python scripts and various underground comix and some tits.
By 2006 we had a burgeoning forum with thousands (hundreds really active) of members and 200k hits a day. Other things got in the way and people left and were not replaced until only 3 of us were really contributing, and then in about 2012 the forum broke and I never bothered to fix it and the site really nose-dived. No updates, no weekly articles or humor, just occasional blogging about some subject that interested one of us.
From about 2012 to Aug 2017 the site was almost unupdated except a blog post every few weeks.
Then dotster sends some official mail to the doc@docweasel.com site claiming we had too many files, and even though we had an unlimited storage account we still had many more than the typical site so we had to remove some. Even though we had unlimited storage. Too many files.

World War I Noises/Stuck Record and Overlord 1975 British film
Long time Monty Python fan, loved Matching Tie and Hankerchief since the ’80s (when I became aware of it) then recently I was watching a British movie about WWI called Overlord (1975) and it contained a scene where 2 soldiers were sitting in a field between battles talking about home and the conversation steered toward a confusion between girlfriends, wives and dogs.
