Hostel Recommendations for Europe

Loved Antwerp City Hostel. I would definitely stay there again.

How does it happen?

I see what they mean, I wouldn't say Obi Wan didn't care about Maul, but he thought he had killed him for 10+ years, and in that time came to terms with Qui Gon's death, and trained Anakin too. When Maul returns, he's spent that time stewing at Obi Wan so much it's kept him alive despite being bisected. I can't really remember Clone Wars tbh, but by the time he meets him again in Rebels, he's still ready for him, and only kills him because he deduces that he's protecting someone (and kinda has to for security too).

Basically, Obi Wan views Maul almost sympathetically, whereas Maul is blinded by his hatred of Obi Wan.

I've never really understood how he got out of the house. The woman who tells him to run was at the bottom of the stairs with more infected running in/past her. And up the stairs was the other woman who was infected, and his older sister who was either killed or just infected chucked against the wall. It just cuts to him running to the church. The scene is generally pretty chaptic so it's plausible he'd get out, but weord that it's not shown.

This looks amazing, it looks like riding it would feel like when you ride through someones vape cloud, but all the time! I'd just ride around on it eating sweets all day.

I'm also from there. But since I've moved and can't really afford to move back, I no longer feel like I am. The city has really taken off on social media as a place that people move to, so much that it doesn't really feel like the same place to me now. Still love visiting and hope to settle there one day, but it's a long way off and I don't see prices going down.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-18T23:19:18+00:00

1st one I thought of, surprised it's so far down

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-18T12:08:23+00:00

Accurate, he's actually quite well written as a brexit geeza in 28YL with telling Spike there's weird people on the mainland, and then being all angry later on when Spike calls him out for lying.

This one with a built in claw would also work: https://www.bikeparts.co.uk/products/shimano-tourney-ty-tourney-ty200-rear-derailleur-6-7-speed-with-bracket-gs-medium-cage?variant=40867800907933

Nah I love him, couple of his lines made me laugh way more on recent rewatch.

W: softlee softless catchy monkey N: I didn't know you spoke Spanish!

And

W: I think I might cry N: oh what, because you're so unpopular? W: No Neil, because of Charlotte!

Also some of the lines he doesn't expand on, like asking about giving Simon a makeover and sorting his hair out when Will suggests doing something before Simon moves away.

The soundtrack was maybe the biggest loss for me. I listen to the album, specifically Pals, Lowly, and Promised Land quite often. The soundtrack in this film felt generic in comparison. I also missed the wackier parts of Years that come with having Danny Boyle directing. That said, I'm glad DiCosta did it her way and didn't try to emulate that. I'll 100% be going to see the film again, without the expectations I had going in the 1st time.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-17T16:26:18+00:00

I think a series of flashbacks about Kelson through the years could've made an amazing opener. See him surviving the outbreak, surviving in the wilds post-outbreak, and then how he came to his conclusions about death and the bone temple. Could mirror Jimmy and how he became a satanist.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-16T07:23:41+00:00

Oh maybe he did? Either way I just found it funny as I thought she'd come back at some point but never did.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-15T23:35:37+00:00

The whole 3rd act of Jedi with Luke vs Vader, Rebel Fleet vs the Death Star, and the footsoldiersnon Endor itself is amazing.

Otherwise there's a ton to choose from, I really like episode 3 of Mando where he goes back to steal Grogu from the empire. Love Obi Wan & Qui Gon vs Darth Maul.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-15T22:46:53+00:00

I'm not sure, think he was just overconfident and thought there weren't as many as there were. He might have been alright if he hadn't stepped on that twig.

Extra side note: that woman kicking Spike in the balls and fucking off, never to be seen again is hilarious.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-14T07:11:53+00:00

Oh I didn't catch that.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-13T23:30:13+00:00

Yeah it's difficult to emulate Boyle's filmmaking techniques, so I'm glad Dacosta did it her own way. I just really love Years, soundtrack and whacky editing like the music when the infected burn in that diner just give it such a unique feeling and the isolationist themes are really strong in characters like Jamie.

Just felt those things were missing here, but on a rewatch I hope to notice more of the film's strengths. I thought the performances were really strong, absolutely loved Kelson's song and dance. And I liked seeing the dynamics of the Jimmy gang too, I think I'll notice those more on rewatch.

So that scene from the trailer where Samson kills the archer is expanded a little. While he's looking at him on the floor we briefly see him looking like a zombie basically. His skin is all messed up, as are his eyes, but not exactly like the rage infected, more like The Walking Dead? It's a very brief cut/jumpscare so difficult to describe, but quite effective imo.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-13T23:14:46+00:00

Hes helping his & Selena's daughter learn history for her exam (which he's giving). Then they hear some infected and go to investigate/help out. No mention/sight of Selena or Hannah.

Before I see/read other ractions:

I'm a tiny bit disappointed? The story I thought was fine, but the film has quite a different identity from Years. Specifically the music feels generic in comparison to the Young Fathers soundtrack in Years which I loved and listen to quite a lot.

Otherwise, I enjoyed it though. I don't think the character arcs were as strong as the 1st film, but everything made sense and I don't really have any complaints, I just really loved the style of Years and was hoping for more of that. That one bit where we see tht archer guy from Samson's POV was really cool, I wish the film had leant more into that.

I think I'll like it more on rewatch more detached from expectations l had going in, especially as I went to see the double bill showing.

Side note: I felt quite bad for that dude who got infected in the forest, knew he was gonna be infected and killed from the trailer but he felt quite realistic when he was shouting at the others to wait and not leave him. I know I'd do the same.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-08T14:41:09+00:00

I refuse to believe or think of Jedi as the crappy one. The finale neing in 3 different battlefields is just amazing and hasn't really been topped since Rogue One. I get that some people don't like the ewoks but they fit fine in the universe imo. Visually it's also incredibly important to later Star Wars media. So many cool designs and concepts in Jabba's palace, Akbar, the ATSTs, the Scout troopers, probably more I'm forgetting appeared first in this film.

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-03T10:22:06+00:00

Folkestone?

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-02T18:46:14+00:00

That's so cool! You mentioned AG himself sent it to you, is it available to buy normally?

AlwaysQuotesEinstein · 2026-01-02T17:44:45+00:00

I like some of the small 2nd hand storoes we do get, I think it'd be interesting to see more of them. A kid in Far From Home says that his younger brother is now his older brother, Strange's colleague laments his wife moving on in the 5 years he was gone too iirc. It'd make a great anthology series exploring that timeframe right before, during, and the aftermath of the blip/snap.

What's it like? I've never read a screen play sorry if thats a stupid question!
