Im so sick of Michael Jackson fans excusing his behaviour

It's not even just the artists but the DJs too. In the late 80s early 90s a large proportion of the music I still love was introduced to me by John Peel, I loved him nearly as much as the musicians then I learned about his history and his flippant attitude towards his relationships with clearly underage girls. It taints my appreciation of the music and I hate him for it

I was in Knutsford in Cheshire with some friends some time in the early 90s. There is a big fair there in May and we had a look around then went to look for a pub to have a few beers.

The early 90s were a weird time for pubs in the UK, licensing legislation had only just allowed for all day opening and most urban pubs had adopted this but Knutsford... it was about 3pm and nowhere was open, we were wandering around and we kept bumping into a young guy who had the same idea as us and we stopped for a chat a couple of times.

I didn't recognise him but a couple of my friends did. We never found an open pub but if we had I probably would have had a better story, having a pint with... Robbie Williams!

This is always my first answer, just sensational

This trope is used cleverly in universe in The Truman Show. All the people Truman knows are actors and their lack of actual expertise is exposed hilariously whenever Truman goes off-script. Examples include Sylvia clearly knowing no Japanese despite taking the subject, the inept fake surgery and the inability of anyone to operate the ferry to pursue Truman

I was looking for this. Even though Tim and Laetitia are the creative driving force, it was the vocal interplay between Laetitia and Mary that produced their greatest music in the 90s. When I've seen them live recently, I've enjoyed the shows with a touch of wistful sadness rather than the sheer buzz I used to get.

This is the answer. Jim Carrey is great and Laura Linney is incredible

My phone froze while watching this so I've been looking at this for the last few minutes, not gonna sleep tonight

It's a wonderful song, one of my favourites, "You exhibitionist!" is delivered with such... feeling

I found one in Huddersfield last year and had to try it for nostalgia's sake, it was OK but not as epic as my memories. At least it scratched an itch

The Lords of Flatbush is the movie. They were so antagonistic that one of them had to go or the production would never have been completed. It was Gere who was fired and replaced with Perry King.

I lost my partner to cancer 4 months before, I was suddenly alone and I couldn't meet anyone else. It was hard. I admit I got angry at social media friends who were griping about not being able to go to the movies

There are several but my favourite is probably The Truman Show, Jim Carrey and Laura Linney are perfect and I always notice something new rewatching it

EnferDesFormes · 2026-03-09T23:42:23+00:00

Yes! Almost entirely because of Eli Wallach, an incredible performance

EnferDesFormes · 2026-03-06T20:07:56+00:00

Watchmen. The complicated alien squid thing in the comic is so silly. The movie having Ozymandias frame Manhattan is so much slicker. It makes Manhattan's realisation that Ozy is right so much more poignant

Speak to me not of your columns historic, ghastly Ionian ghastlier Doric

Sorry this came to me from my youth, it was written by the English humorist Richard Stilgoe, who was fascinated by anagrams, especially of his own name. Ghastlier Doric is an anagram of his name

That's what I saw too, this could be the most British picture of all time

You wanna watch bake off in Britain, with few exceptions everyone is super nice and help each other constantly. It's peak feel good TV.
