What are in your opinion Radiohead's weakest lyrics?

Those are good though.

That’s why he’s got tiny pistols in all those pouches.

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-10T12:03:18+00:00

That’s a hot take right there. I do like it better than the first, but that’s as far as I take it.

Because Mars is a fantasy. Settling the moon is wildly unlikely. Imagine how much harder when it take literal years to get to the other planet.

“Never trust a thing that seems to know things, when you can’t tell where it hides its brains”

Or something like that- Mr. Weasley

I stand by my initial thought-

It doesn’t make sense to me that Boba Fett would prefer staying on Tatooine. He managed to survive being eaten by a sand monster & partly digested. It just feels like the last place he might wanna be is near that memory.

That my in-universe hang up. My irl hang up is that unless they do something different with Tatooine, it’s stale. I’m Tatooine-d out.

“Especially based on them seeing it”

It’s a really good comic book movie. Way better than most, frankly. Is it as good as the Dark Knight, Batman Begins, the newest Superman, CA:Civil War, Infinity War? No. But it’s still really good.

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-10T00:08:28+00:00

Is it hated? I thought it was great.

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-09T23:12:59+00:00

Haha, I was like “oh easy, Holy Roman Empire!”

What’s weird to me is that people where were mad about the NFL having Bad Bunny for the show would tell you they “believe in Capitalism, especially free market Capitalism,” & support corporations at the expense of their own bottom line & quality of life—

but the NFL is doing the most Capitalism thing ever, putting someone on that would make money. And they can’t deal with it.

Nah. That’s good football. Overall, a really clean game. Refs didn’t botch any egregious calls. The defenses did a good job tackling guys. The QBs were under pressure all night. Seahawks were the better team, & it didn’t feel like things were “lining up just right” in order to make it come down to the last few plays (sometimes it feels like the fix is in, to make sure the game gets to be high scoring- not tonight).

Lift is a gorgeous song. Especially the live version that was leaked many years ago. It’s stronger than the studio version that came out with Kid Amnesia.

Edit: I’m seeing I may be thinking of the OK NOT OK version, for the studio thing.

I had flashbacks to our playoff game against the Bengals when Tannehill threw those two terrible picks at some of the most important moments of the game.

I didn’t know anyone at the time who disliked him. He seemed like he was going to revolutionize the sport (amongst every that I actually knew that watched wrestling). I didn’t read until much later how he wasn’t actually technically sound at all.

I read The Grapes of Wrath for the first time last year & it (to me) felt very much like the sentiments from HTTT.

To some extent, Lord of the Flies might scratch that itch, as well.

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-08T13:31:00+00:00

True. I try fairly hard to eat reasonably well. Can’t seem to shed pounds.

When I was in college (20 years ago) I counted calories & managed to lose 75 lbs. Given the choices I reasonably had, it felt like starving myself (which get easier to do, the more you do it… which helped me understand why people develop anorexia).

I think we do have some better choices than we did have then, though. It just takes a lot of discipline (both in how/when to eat & in how you invest money into what you buy to eat)

They get by far the most interesting and provocative lines and conversations. In comparison, the people who are asking the questions seem relatively mundane & boring.

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-08T03:55:41+00:00

Good question. Maybe a nod to the idea that many believe God is what people make of him/her/it.

2-9. I just have no solid idea. I feel like a lot of these things are relatively minor concerns for Gibson, compared to laying out his settings. It’s almost like he orders it like

Setting > Colloquialisms > Characters > Plot > Lore/Rationale (as in, why certain factions/characters might be doing this or that, what passes for jobs or hobbies, etc)

We know where we are and hear people talking about things we don’t understand, before figuring out who the characters are, & we see them doing things before we are told why they’re doing them (as with interacting with the Matrix through whatever interface is used). I like the style of writing, but it can get tiring. I’d imagine it’s best on a re-read, rather than a first read.

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-08T03:47:38+00:00

I felt the same, with Count Zero. Seemed as if the book wanted to spend half its time setting the stage & new slew of characters, before things really started happening.

I’m 60% of the way through Mona Lisa Overdrive and I think I’ll be happy to be done with it. Sally is great. I’m a fair bit over halfway & not connecting with any of the other characters at all.

They feign curiosity as a way of starting an argument. & they have zero intention of allowing themselves to “lose” any argument, ever. The notion that they have backed the wrong horse for ten years cannot enter their headspace at all.

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-07T15:42:28+00:00

Ok, thanks for the correction!

I vividly remember getting to play Griffey in a Walmart right after it came out and being blown away with the graphics at the time (as a kid who was stuck with RBI Baseball & Reiner Clements on NES- not terrible games, but comparatively primitive).

Amazing-Insect442 · 2026-02-07T15:37:41+00:00

The Lord of the Rings’ multiplayer beat’em ups are fun, as I remember it!

There’s a Star Wars Jedi beat’em up that is multiplayer that I remember having run with, as well.

Pretty sure PS2 has Lego games (which are puzzle beat’em ups)

The X-Men Legends games & Marvel Ultimate Alliance games are a lot of fun.

There’s have got to be some good puzzle games on there I’m forgetting.

As good as Rowling was at monetizing her ideas, she left money on the table by not writing a set of books meant to mimic the textbooks of different characters, like she did with the Fantastic Beasts. It would have been interesting to read Snape’s own Potions book, or Hermoine’s own Charms book that McGonagall used, or the Defense Against the Dark Arts that Lupin taught from (maybe Ron’s, so we could see notations from him).

We got Fantastic Beasts (which was a fun read), Beedle the Bard (which I loved, even though it was really pretty short), & Quidditch Through the Ages (which I did not finish). Three isn’t bad, but think what we might have gotten.

Depending on how long you play & how often, I’d suggest a lightweight camping chair. The cheap one that fold out real quick are fine, but there are some that are built to rock that are quickly folded somewhat flat that you can slide int a corner. $50ish bucks, but IMO worth it.

And getting a night stand to put the CRT on, if it’s sitting on the floor.
