A woman can be running around naked, visibly exposing inner parts to kids, and she'll get a disturbing the peace charge with me barely having to work. Dude slightly exposes himself? Welcome to lifetime sex offender registry, population: you. Are you saying that there is a benefit to my having a tiny penis?

KakerMix posted:Helaciously expensive, it seems to be one of those cars that people are slightly familiar with and since they are super unique looking the demand far outpaces supply. Especially since they are now legal in the USA. Lots of people here to drive prices skyward. Paos and Be-1s are far cooler than the Figaro. I've seen loads of Figaros on the road, maybe 3 Paos, a couple of S-cargos and zero Be-1s to the point I'm beginning to believe they were never actually produced.

The Martian is an excellent adaptation of a great book, and is very good. Interstellar, Gravity, and Moon are all a bag of wank, however.

Forgive my ignorance but as a person living in the USA I constantly get reminded that Minis and Range Rovers are unreliable garbage considering the alternatives we have available. But everyone in Britain (maybe even Europe?) drives Minis and Range Rovers and don't seem to have any reputation for being garbage. Is there some geographic difference between the vehicles or is it a social thing?

The appeal of the BMW ones is a complete mystery to me.

Also if you break down almost anywhere in the UK you are still only like 30 minutes at most from a place that can tow you, and there's not many places without cell phone coverage. In the US, the prospect of breaking down scares people because they envision themselves in this situation (even though they never actually drive to places like this): So I think in the UK people are just more tolerant of unreliable vehicles, generally.

We're so throughly broken that our standards are 'if it's not actively falling into a pile of rust in front of us, it;s better than we are used to'  But seriously, they are both the pinnacle of style before substance and are for people who want them for their image.

Land Rovers are driven by farmers and horsey people and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNybnRkj-MY Range Rovers are driven exclusively by drug dealers and posh mums in the centre of London. They are never seen anywhere with mud. Ever.

No it's just that when someone has one over here in the US it's assumed they are trying to exude some sort of ~class~ and I was just wondering if it's the same in the birthplace of both brands, turns out it is but since that is where they are from it's much cheaper to repair them out of warranty thus people deal with them.

I'm looking forward to seeing Valerian at the cinema, I know it's not going to be great but it's going to be very pretty and entertaining because Luc Besson and that's currently all I require from sci-fi because the genre as a whole is trash.

I have a love/hate relationship with it really, in theory at least you can do loving anything with sci-fi but there's not all that many batshit crazy movies out there. ...unless someone has a few to recommend??

The Martian movie was better than the book, the book was adequate but nothing like what good writing is like. It was a great outline to a real book but he forgot to write in most of the interesting parts or add dialogue that wasn't just 50 Shades of Grey level exposition. They were both relatively forgettable but exactly epitomized airport reading/long flight entertainment. I still am annoyed about the lack of shoes in Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". Like, I have at least 50 pairs of shoes in my house at any moment due to having a wife and living in the same house for 14 years. How is there going to be a shoe shortage if 1/100th of the population is all that's left? E: I watched Hacksaw Ridge last night and found it a bit sappy but still very enjoyable. Trent from Swingers acting like Mel Gibson must have told him "Ok, make it 60% Full Metal R Lee Ermey and 40% Saving Private Ryan Tom Hanks and you are sooooo money" was fun. What are people's thoughts on which is better, that or Dunkirk? Ether Frenzy fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Jul 23, 2017 |

How much dialogue do you expect there to be when he's literally the only person on that planet? Movie was good, book was great.

Gee yes, there are definitely no other characters in the book and nothing happens except Matt Damon sits there by himself telling stories about potatoes. In 3 word sentences.

What did people think of Split? Mate recommended it to me, but I only thought it was "ok". The short films that Blomkamp's doing on his Oats youtube channel are really interesting though.
