I made it through 2 episodes before becoming completely bored of it
the things I took from it
1 the BBC is desperate
2 the BBC lives in the 1950s
3 despite being directed by different people, somehow every single BBC "drama" seems to be identical
does William Baldwin play the person William Baldwin plays, because William Baldwin can't act?
the only main reason I can think of is the special effect looked good
not sure where that comes from
are you pro or anti? I'm just commenting that a ship got sunk and made famous
I felt like they spent a lot less time on this scene than they could have, they could have made it into a bigger more in depth scene, but actually only spent a few moments on it
feel like I should also mention the Mockba - Russians flagship that got knocked out by Ukraine with a drone and 2 Polaris torpedoes
depends what you're looking for I guess?
the more intense factor - Total Recall (the original) had more of those sorts of classic Arnie film intense moments (like when the good/bad mutant guy reveals he's a mutant by showing you his disjointed arm). T1 was also just Arnolds character going round killing people. T1 was very 80's (loadsa kill count action). T2 was supposed to sanitise his image? preferred T2 myself, special effects still hold up for me
I'm getting a different error (had it 3 times when the site wouldn't load and I offered to help by clicking the link in rapid succession which caused Cloudflares flood protection to kick in). Error 1034? Ray ID?
is cocoa butter a different ingredient to actual coco? I'm just wondering what dark chocolate is actually made of, I was assuming coco beans
I had a surprise when I realised he did a voice in Flushed Away. maybe there's something in that - would a lot of action characters find a family animation beneath them?
ok nod
opinion - the Lindt advert has a woman saying to the other woman "it's so creamy", which is rubbish, cream just means extra fat, you don't (necessarily) want chocolate to be creamy, you want it to be....chocolatey (like Lindt's 70% or green and blacks 70% chocolate)
that's reddit
I'd perrrobably prefer to be at the pub with someone who reviews movies than someone who's claim to fame is updating wiki entries (no offense to anyone who does)
I'd like them to focus less on epic panned-out whole-screen special effects (eg, Independence Day Resurgence when gravity went up), and more on "memorable, unique" scenes
one reason I think Terminator 2 was successful, was because there wasn't too much happening on screen at any one time. you weren't surrendering to massive blown-away sequences. also James Cameron manages to make things move at the right speed (unlike eg when Anakin Skywalkers speeder moves off too fast on Coruscant in...whichever one it was)
we know the special effects guys can make literally anything happen...more memorable and unique sequences please, you don't have to make the entire screen "do something"
I'll say that on reddit, the original argument gets completely lost because all the mods and the angry people focus on, is that you said something was 500 million when it was actually 600 million
yeah...I meant "about"
well why didn't you say about?
shup...
I thought this was a gem (Kenny)

haven't ever heard of them. buy 'em, its Christmas
sounds like the sort of thing they'd have on the shelves in Luxembourg or something
is the postage worth buying one flavour and seeing if you like it before buying in bulk?
the internets has meant a knee jerk reaction of typing a 10 second sentence, can circulate round the planet in 15 seconds. 25 years ago only people at university had access to the internet around the clock, so most people at home didn't even see them. the letter section of the local newspaper was the closest you got to broadcast
in the past I suppose Napoleon or Abraham Lincoln had reactions, but they involved asking 100's of people to do things in a letter, so there was more time to think twice about it... cowboys had knee jerk reactions and it involved shooting the other person, Queen Victoria had them and it involved beheading people
it's only been since the net that individual people have even asked the question to a public audience? what did we do without the internet...
this pre (?) boot is supposed to be before the original Star Trek
there can only be so many films with Chris Pine & co they can make before they become older than Shatner was to start with?
no where in the film does anyone even say "I'm really glad I got on this boat with you ̶M̶e̶g̶a̶n̶ Gina"...scuse...Transformers reference
actually I think I just wrote some script
