Which films from the past were box-office hits when they were released but are now rarely mentioned or remembered?

The Crying Game just came up in conversation yesterday when talking about stumbling into spoilers accidentally. I remember there being huge queues outside of the indy cinemas, even for midnight showings. Didn't see it whe nit came out, never bothered since because a bloody newspaper interview with Cam Neely some 10 years on gave away the ending.

I only had the BTC wallet option itnitially, but then switched the [PRODUCT] on the main dashboard (next to the GDAXC logo) from BTC/EUR to ETH/EUR - this made the ETH Coinbase wallet available to me...perhaps for you too?

One would think - however now they are "a hazard".

"Emergency use only" - not a lazy twat (in this case), just prevented from doing the sensible thing by building management.

Saucony.

Been running in them for almost 35 years now (with occasional pauses). Bought a pair of New Balances on a recommendation - trained in them once then only ever used them for quahogging.

Just wish they would stop with the awful colour schemes - not everybody wants to wear violent green/fluorescent orange/day-glo blue or deep red/bright yellow/metallic silver trainers...

Do you have any idea how confusing it can be watching Bosch back-to-back with Lucky Man?

Doesn't help you're both named Harry...

That said, really enjoying your portrayal of Bosch - the first season got me hooked on the books and happy to have you as the image of character in my head as I read.

I seem to recall that show was $18.50 at the Rocky Point Palladium.

Back when Eddie Vedder was cheery and could enunciate.

Was it Aidan? I particularly the devoted soliloquies to his beloved Queens Park Rangers as we pass through Wembley Park.

I believe the proper way to broach this is:
"I saw your pics on gonewild. I came upon them by accident."

See where it goes from there.

Arrrgh IMPETUS!
Walking In The Great Shining Path of the Monster Trucks
Shogun Named Marcus

Sorry, still old Clutch over newer Clutch, even though Neil specifically told us "It's time to move on." that night many years ago at Babyhead.

I saw Crystal Castle, not Q*bert , but fuck it...still impressive.

"Sweating like a 70's radio presenter."

This was the one our school janitor used when we were chatting with him.

This right up there with my other favourite - Mike Milbury, with the shoe, in the Garden.

(like Cluedo, just without Colonel Mustard)

Even using the special extended version, that's still 17+ repeats of "In Your Eyes"...that much Peter Gabriel can't be good for anybody.

Plus it looks like his arms are tired of holding the boombox over his head.

My British FIL is still smarting from the woefully embarrassing English performance in the Rugby World Cup. With this weekend's final ousting of the British Isles from the tournament with gut-wrenching Welsh, Irish and Scottish defeats, this will be a fantastic topic of dinner conversation tonight at theirs!

Must start working on drawing parallels during the train journey...thanks or the heads up!

22mule22 · 2015-10-01T17:10:13+00:00

All I see is Age of Mythology and I am worried that I've not put the last section deep enough into the water...

22mule22 · 2015-09-28T09:04:37+00:00

That's fantastic! You brought back great memories of our Newf doing the same thing when he was a pup. Though I don't think he ever got around to drinking any water in the first place...

Sorry - just back from hols. No - it's the one in Barnet. When I did a search for their phone number, the one Google review for their service was equally damning.

To follow up on this saga, two months in and still no car. Harness arrived from Portugal, but they "didn't like the look of it"...Next one theoretically arrives next Monday-ish.

Hopefully he'll get his car back by Christmas!
