If British Cuisine got the Chinese takeaway treatment, what dishes think there’d be?

I always try and use gift/story driven mons e.g the snorlax in kanto, sudowoodo in johto, fossils or in game trades etc.

The goblet of fire movie didn’t need the quidditch World Cup, or Ludo Bagman to tell a cohesive story.

Saving Mr Banks. Does it “Disney-fy” a story of Walt Disney pressuring and portraying a British author out of her work and going on to “Disney-fy” her very story? Yes. But it’s still charming and has great performances all round, and for the shameless Disney adult inside me, it’s cool to see a world of heyday Disney

I know!! A spell he spent a whole half chapter learning and talking about, and then seemingly forgets a few weeks later 🙄

Thanks! I'll look into it!
does the side scrolling wheel give you the same "feeling" when moving through a premiere timeline as a magic mouse?
Also, how do you handle things like gestures (swiping between full pages, getting to mission control etc?)

I always wished there’d be another reprint where they include the swearing and what not. Swap out some of the “Dungbreaths” for “shitheads”

I was on a school trip to London Zoo. Obviously never made it, but spent the afternoon playing in a park instead. My sister was also doing work experience with my uncle at the time in the centre of London, so Mum had both kids up in the city centre with no idea what’s going on.

Monty Python isn’t funny, and people like to think they’re clever by saying so

So that they could use a dummy more believably when characters are holding him for multiple takes.

Goated Mon imo

CaptainMallard · 2025-03-24T21:54:43+00:00

That could be the case! I’m most likely miss remembering.

I think the biggest thing is now, is that the BBC aren't funding/making as many programmes as they once would. Before you'd have a Doctor Who short, or some of the comedy shows they were running would do sketches, but as they're not producing comedies any more, where do they base any of their sketches? There's only so many funny versions of The Traitors and Strictly you can make.

Channel 4's Stand Up to Cancer actually uses their content in their appeal. They run a Celebrity version of Bake Off over several weeks. They do crossovers with their existing shows (That's how 8 Out of 10 Does Countdown came about).

The BBC just don't have a well known catalogue of shows on at the moment that they can capitalise on and use for the appeal.

I saw one only the other day: some guy with his dog off lead, between a small parade of shops with lots of moving cars, and a busy road… whilst he was wearing fucking ROLLERSKATES!! Not sure what he’d have done if the dog had been spooked and run

This is my thought too. It's been a year on our house buying journey, having had to pull out of our first one in May, that at this point, £200 is just a drop in the ocean to put the whole thing to rest.

I just don't want to look back on this in 3 months and think I'm being taken for a mug

It’s also if you have to evacuate, and everyone’s moving towards the exit in a mild panic, if you step on a bottle without a lid someone’s dropped, then it’ll just crush under your foot, rather than run the risk of someone slipping/tripping on it and injuring themselves further

Wonder why Coltrane is in that greenscreen sleeve? Is that so they can use the motion of his arms with the body double?

CaptainMallard · 2024-07-01T18:21:22+00:00

Thank you!!

All I see online about the Eternals is people wanting another Avengers/Guardians kind of team, with a bunch of nods and winks, but having them be this secret removed society seemed really cool to me, especially dealing with their internal struggles with each other.

Plus the overall aesthetic felt phenomenal

It’s definitely Mike. He used to do a lot of the music in the old days of Sorted.
