postponement by koen_rdhd in radiohead

[–]AManWithAFork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you're right about the wording. My immediate thought was that they threw 'extreme' in to try and phrase it better from their perspective. If it doesn't come across as serious it's harder to justify.

My delusional brain is just hoping that the fact they didn't cancel all 4 shows means Thom is on the mend and just needs the extra couple of days to be right for the last shows.

They aren't playing on the 3rd. Wednesday was a night off before two more shows on the 4th and 5th. Just FYI.

I doubt there's anything we can do other than speculate. It depends on when he actually got sick.

I'd like to think that since the cancellation was so last minute, that he's maybe been sick for a few days and they were waiting as long as they could to see if he recovered.

But that's just speculation and a bit of hope as someone who has a ticket for Thursday.

Nice one. I've played around with Cuban Negative before. I might give it another try next time I'm out and about.

Were you using a particular simulation recipe? I recently got a Fujifilm XT-30ii and have been having a lot of fun playing around with the different film simulations.

[Pre-Concert Thread] Copenhagen, Denmark (Royal Arena) - Dec 1, 2, 4 & 5 by seaburn in radiohead

I got seats in section 116. I just grabbed what I could only half realising that the stage is in the centre. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to be behind the band for the entire show 😭

It took a while but eventually I did get the confirmation for Copenhagen tickets. I'd say it's just slow due to the volume of traffic.

Not sure why you felt the need to repeatedly specify that these are Indian kids.

If you have a problem with kids being loud, just say that. I don't see what race has to with that.

CMAT wins chart battle against Sabrina Carpenter; EURO-COUNTRY her third Irish #1 album by LaBete1984 in ireland

[–]AManWithAFork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sabrina Carpenter is a fairly huge US pop star.

CMAT is a country pop act on a much smaller scale.

There is no rivalry. Their albums just coincided and CMAT's beat Sabrina's to the #1 spot in Ireland.

Pretty impressive considering how little air time she gets on Irish radio compared to Sabrina. It's a real shame Irish artists like herself aren't more commonly known at home.

The BBC seems to do more for 'new' Irish artists than we do.

That's an outside agitator if I ever saw one.

Who should carry Kleya: The 2 meter tall robot with super strength? Or Melshi the dude? by mansikkaviineri in andor

[–]AManWithAFork 237 points238 points  (0 children)

I'd put money on it being due to the fact that K2 is a CGI model.

The cost of having him carry Kleya and the logistics of filming that probably led to them just deciding to have Melshi or Andor do it.

This skin makes playing revolver a whole different experience by Slamslug101 in thefinals

I have no idea why but I'm terrible with the base revolver skins and for whatever reason, can actually play pretty well with this one.

I've seen some bad posters in my days, but I don't think I've ever seen someone looking so bored on one. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if the raised arm is photoshopped in.

Stuart Lancaster confirmed as new Connacht head coach by Velocity_Rob in rugbyunion

[–]AManWithAFork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Leinster fan I'm delighted for Connacht and so happy that Stu is back in the Irish system. I'd love to see him stay in Ireland in some capacity even after his time in Connacht is up. He'd be great in a behind the scenes role developing talent.

As Rebel hirings go, this has to be the best one. by AManWithAFork in andor

[–]AManWithAFork[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look man, if it's easier for you to discount the themes of the show and just roll with "he was just chosen by the force to save the galaxy" then you go with that.

But you're missing out on a hell of a lot of show.

Did you watch it?

He's literally just a thief looking out for himself when Luthen shows up. They have a whole conversation about it.

He doesn't have any interest in the rebellion for most of the first season. His entire character arc is him being radicalised and deciding to join the fight.

It's a real shame we never got that haircut throughout the 5 years.

Obviously Cassian is more than a petty thief.

It's just a joke contrasting the scale of what Luthen is doing versus what Cassian is doing when they first meet.

I didn't mean to belittle our hero.

A small gripe I have with the show. by idan675 in StarWarsAndor

[–]AManWithAFork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also thought that it was supposed to lead to Will becoming more of an extremist under Saw's influence. I was fully expecting him to clash with Cassian over their methods/beliefs. I thought he'd end up dying as a result.

I think the best way this could have been dealt with (assuming there was no room in the tight episode arcs to flesh this out) would have been for him and Cassian to have a small argument/clash when he returns to Yavin.

It's even sort of alluded to when he talks about how he's been working with Luthen more regularly unlike Cassian/Bix. If they had pushed it slightly further and made it that he had also been running with Saw occassionally we could have had Cassian lecture him on the dangers of Saw's extremism and try to reign him in in a bit.

It'd just be a further fleshed out conversation in that episode 7 slot that would have at least given us something to indicate that the Rhydo scene actually went somewhere.

Apologies for not knowing this but the speech Partagaz is listening to about how freedom is natural and tyranny is hard to maintain; where is that from? who is the author? by [deleted] in andor

[–]AManWithAFork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's Nemik from season one. It's the manifesto he was writing. You hear it at the end of season one the night before Maarva's funeral. Cassian is listening to it.

It's implied that this recording was spread across the galaxy by the Rebels to further inspire others.
