jesus WEP posted:you should change your name to triple h because putting your own name in a thread is the kind of tryhard poo poo that’s right up his street This is a positive thread, think of the title like the 1st Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence! That's right, we're trying to prevent getting sued by somebody over their low sperm count. Mekchu posted:Or are IKs restricted to a thread? IDK how they work. As far as I am aware, IK permissions are granted for an entire subforum. Sometimes people get IKed for a specific thread alone, and told not to use them outside of it or risk having that status stripped. They basically can request limited probations and that's about it.

The old thread is back now (but still closed), ignore the last page of it and enjoy that for the greater majority of its run it was a really fun and positive place, and keep that spirit alive in this one. Push El Burrito posted:Can I talk about Great British Bake Off in here? I started watching it and I'm very upset that Jordan didn't make it to the end. Is this the show where the hosts will start copiously swearing on camera if one of the contestants has a breakdown, because they know that way the footage can't be exploited to be used in the show? Because I remember reading that about some British cooking show and I think it's just wonderful

Mekchu posted:Changing topics, is the new Netflix show for Dark Crystal any good? I really wanted to like it but it just doesn't work for me, sadly. The magic of the movie isn't there and the attempts to build up a backstory/history to everything mostly falls flat. I still haven't seen the last 3-4 episodes but unless it takes a remarkable uptick in quality right at the end I'd personally recommend giving it a miss. I will say this though, it got me really wanting to rewatch the movie, because I love that a lot.

I really enjoyed The Boys, Watchmen isn't really scratching the same itch but I do like the fun camera transitions and everything involving Jeremy Irons being a gigantic loving weirdo. Have you watched What We Do In The Shadows? Because I loving loved What We Do In The Shadows, movie and TV series both.

That DICK! posted:A dream that pisses me off is the one where you think you’ve suddenly discussed an extra room in your living space and you’re like oh wow this is great and somehow it’s already furnished even not the best stuff but I can switch out this or that, but then you wake up and you’re like, crap I have the same amount of rooms. I also don’t like the dream where you’re trying to drive from the back seat of the car A recurring dream I have is one where I'm out somewhere and want to go home but I'm nowhere near where I live.... but then I remember about my OTHER house/apartment/place that I just forgot that I have. And I go there and the whole place is just there and it's where I live and I'm like,"Man how could I forget about this place!?! I'm such a goof!  " and then when I wake up I have like 5-10 seconds where I'm still convinced that I have the other place before I remember I just made it up entirely.

yea ok posted:Twin Peaks: The Return Hell loving yes I loved this show. Speaking of which: Spikegal posted:What are some of your favorite promos from non wrestling media? Love this, but staying on the Twin Peaks train. In season one, one of the recurring characters is dirtbag smug rear end in a top hat Bobby, whose father appears to be a typical stick-up-the-butt Military Man. Then in season 2 we get this beautiful scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjeCNnbVYAQ This is followed up in season 3 when a now middle-aged Bobby who cleaned up his act visits his mother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coWpFoxynG0 "Your father never lost faith."

That series most definitely shouldn't have devolved into ANIME BEAMZ) I got to the episode in season 2 where (it looks like) Mob's parents and brother got burned alive and while I suspect it's a fakeout I haven't watched any more because I don't want my beautiful little friendly wholesome boy who just so happens to be the world's most powerful psychic to be sad

Push El Burrito posted:Should have seen Cats. This sounds suspiciously like a war crime, Push  Artelier posted:This was me yesterday! I don't want to go into too much spoilers, but a generalized reaction to your post is yes I found the editing and pacing to be quite weird. I didn't follow any news about the actual production itself so I don't know if this is down to problems on set, creative differences re: the edit, re-shoots or anything like that. But it didn't feel like a final cut of the film to me. It was a very weird experience.

Go to the doctor and say,"My finger hurts because I did this" and they'll tell you how to fix it. I mean, assuming you're not American, in which case they'll still tell you how to fix it but also charge you $600,000 for it.

MJeff posted:It had some cool stuff in it, but it did the thing I didn't want it to do (I suspect this is the thing you also didn't want it to do) and that just put a bad taste in my mouth for the entire movie. I'm guessing it's the reveal that Rey has super-special bloodline divine right bullshit hereditary explanations for her power with the Force after all? Because yeah I absolutely loathed that they did that, even in spite of later attempts in the film to say oh but your bloodline/hereditary doesn't matter! when they were the ones who made it a thing in the first place. Ugh.

CobiWann posted:Knives Out. I loved Knives Out, it think it was superb. But man, nothing beat Parasite for me, what an amazing movie. I always liked the director before but this time he just fired on all cylinders, even the misstep I thought he might be taking on the ending turned out to be a wonderful misdirection (the son seemingly solving everything only to reveal it was yet another "plan" all in his head, like his father warned him was just a way of making an excuse for never actually doing anything).

Captain Magic posted:What’s the deal with Hades anyway? It looks like a hack and slash, w/e. It's a Rogue-lite where you play Zagreus, son of Hades, trying to escape Tartarus. Every time you die you start right back at the beginning and the entire hellscape rearranges itself and you lose all the blessings you gained on your last run. But you can also permanently level yourself up, improve your equipment and weapons, learn patterns and abilities etc and each time you play through you get to talk to more people, learn more backstory, uncover secrets and use them to your advantage to speed things up. Each run you can find random messages from the Gods of Olympus (or something else) that gain you blessings that help you survive and fight further etc. I'm not much of one for Rogue-lites but the mechanics alone are really fun, but there's an amazing aesthetic to go along with neat characters and genuinely fun (and often funny) writing. It's a really good game.
