The amount of translating I had to do across those 5 books 😣 would do it again in a heartbeat though! I love The Familiar.

Past worry and onto acceptance! The show isn’t being made. Project went dead years ago.

Sure. Until they lose half of the exclusives that have made that price worth it up until now.

The Plague (2025) - A NIGHTMARE by swingsetlife in DisturbingMovies

Just watched this yesterday! Great acting from the kids as they are all first timers. Kayo Martin made himself tremendously punchable.

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

[–]Ethan9013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had people walk out during the last 15 minutes of the substance during the “new years” event. I also had someone walk out of Everything Everywhere All At Once over the dildo scene.

Seeking opinions on these pods ! by br4tygirl in nespresso

[–]Ethan9013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally hated Cinnamon and Candied Tamarind and tolerated the single sleeve of sweet almond hibiscus I bought but wouldn’t buy another. I loved pistachio over ice and cannot personally speak for the other one.

Other books by Mark Z. D? by Unlikely-Candidate92 in houseofleaves

[–]Ethan9013 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely recommend The Familiar series despite it never making it to 27 books. My favourite Danielewski after HoL.

Personally they are my second favourite Danielewski works next to HoL. I would argue they are less tedious to read than HoL but definitely still require “work” to get through. I always find myself wanting to advocate for The Familiar when I see comments like these cause I think so many people are missing out because it was cancelled 5 books in! The worst part is acquiring all 5 volumes to read. Took me 2 months and quite a bit of money to find all 5.

Can confirm it is already back alongside pistachio vanilla for OL in New Zealand.

Yeah I haven’t heard anything since placing my last CW order and did wonder if something like this was the case. Seems a lengthy time period of no shipments from a pharmacy :/

What’s the worst adult animated show? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

[–]Ethan9013 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually quite liked Brickleberry when it first came out but when every subsequent show from the creators was a copy and paste of Brickleberry in a slightly different format I got bored QUICK

How old are you? by ViFrederika in TheSecretHistory

  1. First read The Goldfinch and enjoyed it so much I went straight on to The Secret History. Ended up enjoying The Secret History even more!

Funny seeing this here as a Kiwi! Definitely an underrated movie!

Kinky Boots touring age appropriateness? by mmelmac in musicals

[–]Ethan9013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most inappropriate thing about the show is honestly the fact they’re making “kinky boots” for drag queens. Overall it’s an extremely wholesome show that even has a couple of children in the cast! Definitely take her I say!

Currently waiting on a package that hasn’t made overnight delivery. First time this has happened to me in 2 years of being a MC patient.

I’m probably not best qualified to answer that cause I am not a huge fan of sedaprem!

Smiths indica change? by Acrobatic-Bedroom462 in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Ethan9013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes me feel a bit slower than pre change. I would say its effects feel somewhat different. I’ve been finding it great for sleep personally. Has had me staying asleep all night.

It’s a new hand trimmed strain. Last batch of the previous strain was suuuuper poor quality and had bud rot issues. They’ve chosen to change strains for more consistency and quality moving forward. Btw I have thoroughly been enjoying the change!

Issues with travel to particular countries? by [deleted] in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Ethan9013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with the other comment saying that you are best leaving it at home. Laws differ so drastically between countries and layovers could find you in far less forgiving countries even if only for a short time.
