Ah, the Shaggy Defence.

Not 100% on this, but you might need to include the "https://www/." part, rather than just the domain. Possibly not, but worth a try.

Conversely, I still sometimes refer to DVDs, Blu Rays and even streaming media as "videos".

Which is both anachronistic, but also technically correct.

Are you pooh-poohing their poopologist protestation?

If you're there, any chance you could squish Issun? Annoying wee twerp.

Fair enough - bear in mind that I posted 6 hours ahead of you, and I was getting info from a BBC live feed, not the posted article.

Regardless, I think we can agree that this is a horrendous tragedy and hopefully a full and accurate explanation can be found.

I don't know, just reporting what was being said.

If enough (large) birds in flight got into the engines maybe it causes a fire? I don't know though.

I saw a suggestion that the pilots may have been too distracted by other issues to put down the gear.

However, better to wait for a proper investigation.

we made literally and figuratively mean the same thing!

Only figuratively though, not literally.

177 now, and likely to be 179. Two survivors (both are crew members), everyone else dead. Horrible.

They're saying there was a bird strike as they were coming in to land. Boeing may not be a factor on this one.

Worth reading the whole Wikipedia entry, to see just how stupid this Looper guy was - discussing with various people both his advance intent to kill, and then also the fact that he had just done so. Wild stuff.

It really was, and I loved every minute of it. Did you also watch Fire Walk With Me in your watch through? Wild stuff, although significantly less fun than much of the show, obviously. Brilliant though.

I watched it for the first time the other day. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't at all what I expected, and I'm kind of surprised it has the profile it does. I quite liked the ambiguity of a lot of it though.

Interested to see what responses you get here.

I really liked Rogue One, except for the Vader bit. Really unnecessary fan service, which didn't fit with the rest of the film IMO.

But what you can do is some sort of trippy shit where the blast goes on for ages, where it ripping things apart is shown in some sort of artistic and novel way, perhaps something emphasising an old world is being torn apart and this is a new nuclear age.

I don't know if you've seen Twin Peaks, Season 3, ep 8, but if not... well, I think you'll find it matches your description pretty well. Plus there are weird spooky Abraham Lincoln lookalikes covered in soot. And a performance from The Nine Inch Nails.

None of the above is made up.

See also, every zombie movie ever. There's always someone who got bitten but decided to say nothing until it was too late.

Fwiw, I wasn't sure about it at all, first time round. Liked it more the second time and every time since.

Each to their own I guess. I enjoyed the ending, because that meant it was over ;-)

I mean the first one, as I've never seen the others :-)

I get that many people do like it, and that's all good, but I dislike how it often seems to be verboten to say even the slightest negative thing about the film.
