  • 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.

  • The Matrix

    I thought it was tedious, self-satisfied nonsense. Some impressive visual effects and a bit of half-baked philosophy did not a good movie make. Everything about it seemed to be focused on being cool, rather than telling a decent story.

  • Fairly minimal.

  • I like a lot of Christmas songs, but I'd probably just go for a good carol - Ding Dong Merrily On High, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Good King Wenceslas, that sort of thing.

    Songs to turn off:

    • Fairytale of New York
    • Last Christmas
    • 2000 Miles (The Pretenders)
    • Do They Know It's Christmas
    • Stop the Cavalry
  • [Looks up Robert Smith's mobile number...]

  • is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real "Santa")?

    Neither. She's singing to her boyfriend (not husband - "forgot to mention one little thing a ring") and listing the presents she'd like, plus IMO heavily implying sex as a reward.

    See also.

  • Dreadful puns, and obscure references to movies, music and TV shows. It's what the world's been waiting for.

  • There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy.

  • Great. Now remove the restriction on sharing a photo with someone if it's "already in this conversation".

    Yes, I may well have shared it before. Yes, I now want to share it again. Why is that a problem?
