I think the biggest waste of my money was buying all those DVDs just to fill my shelves with DVDs. After I got rid of all my physical media it was like taking a satisfying fat poo poo.

Right? gently caress physical media.

Its funny, for like 3 or 4 years I was watching everything on my computer or iPad and then a year ago I got a decent TV second hand from someone and a chromecast and now I can't bear watching something on those devices.

Like, if I can't just cast the thing from my phone I get all bent out of shape and grumble while I hit all of 3 buttons to cast it from my laptop.

You just reminded me of this hilariously first world complaint I made to someone earlier (I started exaggerating my speech once I realised how bad it was, to clarify):

quote:

my smart TV doesn't support FLAC audio via USB so when I download a movie with super good quality audio I have to run the HDMI into the laptop rather than put it onto the USB stick and plug that straight into the TV and that means I can't use the TV remote to control playback and have to lean forward to my desk to pause etc instead of just laying in bed 😞

Hey the Oscars are on TV right? gently caress the Oscars for not nominating Sing Street for anything. "Drive It Like You Stole It" is a fantastic song and better than whatever trash heap Justin Timberlake wrote for Trolls. No one will remember La La Land in 6 months.

It's a bad episode because it's bad and exactly what everyone knew it would be but they swore up and down it wasn't.

Anyone actively still watching LOST wanting a proper answer to all the mysteries by the end of season 6 deserved to be disappointed. Somewhere around season 3 I was just like "gently caress it it's magic ok whatever" and stopped looking for answers and it got a lot better.

Sure, if you ignore A) The opinions of the majority of people who don't know who the gently caress Devin Faraci is, and B) That the whole final season is largely just a waste of time. And I even liked the finale.

But the finale is specifically the thing people single out as being awful and terrible etc. I don't even really disagree about season 6 as a whole, it's almost def the weakest overall, but that's not what we're talking about really.

I feel like such a newbie because everybody's judging things on who wrote them and what they did before or who directed and their entire body of work. I had to google who this dude was before I knew what was being talked about.

I saw a good-looking preview with some good-looking actors and decided to give it a shot.

You should watch THE FALL, it's absolutely one of the best-looking movies of all time
