    Ready Player One is my most anticipated multiple razzie nominee for 2019

    It’s a fair defence. Even Terry Pratchett benefited from being a dearth of fantasy novels- at a time when D&D (and others) was first gaining worldwide popularity.

    I think you would have need to have seen it when it first came out- or at least when the directors cut became available. A lot of what was groundbreaking in the film has been done bigger and better since, mainly thru CGI. However I do still think the visuals and the soundtrack stand up well.

    Cait and a couple of others “reformed” last night for Shane McGowan’s 60th birthday bash at the National Concert Hall here in Dublin.

    Now playing

    These guys hail from Dolores’ hometown of Limerick:

    I remember being in America with a group of other Irish guys and we were watching this girl group at a local bar. They were doing fine until they launched into Zombie- there’s a line “it’s the same old thing, since 1916", 1916 being quite an important date in Irish history. Needless to say, the band did not sing 1916,

    Agreed though I think the story might have predated both those examples. However I thought the ending of the short really hammered home how lost the earth was, that even after someone found an artifact proving its existence, they ended up binning said artifact.

    I gave up after The Impossible Planet because the ending absolutely sucked (it wasn’t the one from the short story).

    Is it a Netflix series just because it appears on Netflix? Because it was made/commissioned by Channel 4.

    He can run but he can’t hyde...

    How do they know that the waitress is salty? Did someone lick her? Also, given that sweat has a salt component, doesn’t that make all waitresses salty?

    Ah, a 2 Broke Girls fan...

    I think what didn’t work for me about Hang The DJ was it was trying to hard to be this season’s San Junipero. Still enjoyed the episode though.

    I liked The Waldo Moment but I think you really need to get the central concept in order to understand it.

    I thought the reason it was called “Black Museum” was as a mirror to “White Christmas”- 3 storys with an interlinking narrative that I think were put together in an anthology because each story could not be padded out to a one hour run length but Charlie didn’t want to waste telling them.

    The robot appeared to be using LIDAR- the POV visuals seemed to be a dense pointcloud based on intensity returns. In this case the blood could have been giving off higher intensity returns (think shinier). Or the LIDAR could have been pitched in the Red/InfraRed band which would have made blood more obvious.

    I’m guessing that the real reason I find it hard to accept is that the phrase does not work as an obverse; another example would be if the OP said that the ex would not see “hide nor hair of pussy” and Dan had responded that her CP would be seeing the “most hideous and hairiest of pussy”.

    Must read thread before posting...

    Does anyone remember when this was called Alien Nation?

    It wasn’t a quote- while the original letter does mention “whiff of pussy” Dan changes the context.
