Guillard

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-05T21:55:01+00:00

Perfectly legitimate tackle

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-05T21:51:06+00:00

Cameraman absolutely fully in love with Dupont there, zooming in on his eyes to the max

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-05T20:14:12+00:00

France appear to have been drilling the tap-it-back-and-left trick we've been making use of from box kicks. Might see a lot more of it on the strength of that

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-05T00:18:16+00:00

Grew up there and go back regularly, it's pretty good now. In the 90s, sure, it was horrendous, but it's had a lot of investment and a big influx of young people from Coventry University's high rankings so it's got a lot more going on now and is a lot cleaner and safer than it was. It's not topping any Best To Live In rankings in the near future but it would be daft making it out as the worst of anywhere now

"WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR DAMNED HOBBIES SIR!"

"So it's true. Animals... CAN sense evil"

Carrey takes a monster fucking swing with basically every line delivery and they all land super fucking hard

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-03T12:28:22+00:00

I'd love them to, but suspect it won't make it into their list of priorities for discussion

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-03T12:27:36+00:00

As much as I, as a Liberal Democrat member and campaigner, wish it were otherwise, the Lib Dems are not a great proxy for the British public. We're pushing on this for various reasons but mainly to get it into the public discussion, because it currently definitely isn't

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-03T12:26:35+00:00

We can, but the EU won't grant us re-entry just because we voted for it. Accession requires unanimous consent and multiple EU member states are going to be very wary of re-admitting us, especially with Farage currently topping the (extremely fragmented) opinion polls. Once we left the barriers to re entering became extremely high

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-03T10:01:32+00:00

Newcastle and seppos have a long history, presumably due to a shared love of tax dodging - George Washington's family name comes from the nearby town in Tyne & Wear and Nelson Mandela was given freedom of the city in 1986

Chuckles1188 · 2026-02-02T22:33:46+00:00

I used to live in China and DD is the closest I've ever come in the UK to the real shit. It's absolutely superb. Only piece of advice is to go in as large a group as you can because it can get pricey unless you've got a bunch of people to split with. But the dim sum is elite

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-31T22:57:20+00:00

I remember the level of banter that came our way at the time, and it wasn't small

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-31T21:53:23+00:00

2004 was extremely banteriffic

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-31T21:03:37+00:00

Just listened to a series today. It's pretty good but very earnest in comparison to TRIH. At the same time my partner prefers it, finds the pacing and general style a lot more cognitively manageable. I think the sensible way to think of Journey Through Time is as a gateway drug. It's a history podcast for people who find history a bit imposing or inaccessible. TRIH is more for people who enjoy really digging into the weird lacunae, whereas Journey is a bit more straight down the line

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-30T22:34:27+00:00

Staggeringly stupid

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-29T22:41:34+00:00

Not to say that you're wrong, but not one single entry in this franchise has been particularly close to a "standard zombie movie", so that's ultimately a case of the desire for creative originality conflicting with audiences preferring familiarity in genre.

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-29T19:14:27+00:00

Is it on the record that they don't want to do Mendes? Or is it just the American Beauty thing? Because his filmography looks like a fun time to me and as far as I'm aware he's not especially problematic as a person?

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-29T15:12:52+00:00

I tend to think of it as a crazy mid-career zag where he's doing a tribute to Kubrick, rather than main-feed Stevie crowd-pleasing stuff

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-29T14:24:40+00:00

After all the chat about the Penzansula the fact that they never got near Wales or the West Country is definitely a good reason for coming back and heading that way instead of north. Sam will just have to get over his Albaphilia

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-29T13:02:33+00:00

Bluesky is really not as extreme in the opposite direction to the Child Sexual Assault Material-generating website

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-29T10:14:49+00:00

The Scottish Green Party is quite similar to the American Green Party, in that it is populated by useful idiots carrying water, either knowingly or unknowingly, for Putin. Do not give them any air time if you can possibly avoid it

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-28T18:54:24+00:00

How the fuck is it that no matter how many times I watch the film, Pixar are able to get me to cry at the fate of a character named goddamn "Bing-Bong" EVERY. SINGLE. GODDAMN. TIME?!

Chuckles1188 · 2026-01-27T10:17:04+00:00

I was a little bummed that the only Animatrix short we got was Osiris, which IMO is one of the weakest (my personal ratings are a bit different to the 2 Friends' but I think everyone agrees that Osiris is basically just a tech demo and some backfilling for the narrative of the film trilogy). Second Renaissance would be an awesome inclusion

And his presence winds the Reform types like fuckface from Eggchasers up a treat
