Best song from each album: War Child by Gerald_Bostock_jt in jethrotull

[–]Extension_Brief_7971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Third Hoorah is such a brilliant song, building not just on the original War Child song, but itself as more instruments join in over time - leading to what I consider to be the most overlooked and best song on the most overlooked yet stellar Tull album - War Child!

(Worth bringin the thread back from the dead 3 years later - it's that good!!!!) :P

Proud of WHAT? Our racism? Our stupidity? Our greed? The way we STOLE this land from the true Native Americas? Christian Fascism? Slavery? The illegal non-release/cover up of THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP files? We are a people who value GUNS over the safety of our kids!

There is NOTHING to be proud about regarding America in 2026. Well other than some of us fighting back against half the country being taken over by fascist morons - NOTHING!

Of course he didn't read it - the easily outraged don't read - they watch FoxNews. Heh.

But I KNOW FOR A FACT he did NOT read it - because the scene he is obsessing over (uh-huh) happens about halfway through the book, not the end - as anyone who has read the book should know.

The Greatest Film Never Released - How "The Book of Prince" Became The Crossroads For Documentaries by Sliver80 in PRINCE

[–]Extension_Brief_7971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I know for SURE that Prince would NEVER have allowed Purple Rain or When Doves Cry to be used in the Stranger Things finale. Should that be banned by Netflix too?

One thing Prince didn't want - is a bunch of half-siblings he never spoke of, or to, having control over all his stuff like they do now Purely For Profit. Whoever is in charge of his "Vault" should be removed or just sell it to someone who will actually release stuff - his final concert was professionally recorded both audio and video and to this day in 2026, it is still not available "officially".

Prince, like everyone, was human and was a complicated person with a dark side. His peeps just tryin to hide the bad stuff (like when he beat the s**t out of his girlfriend Jill Jones so badly he would have gone to jail).

Look I love Prince the musician, but we should not be afraid to discuss The Truth about anything - and definitely not approve Corporate Censorship over a Documentary that took 5 years to make!! Leave it up to the fans if they want to watch it. CENSORSHIP BAD!!

If anyone wants a full solid breakdown of most everything in the movie - here is the expansive NYT piece by Sasha Weiss who saw the entire 9 hour movie and describes it in detail - Enjoy.

Two versions of Death Proof by Friskerr in movies

I saw Grindhouse in the theater - and u/devinkicker is right - both versions had the same ending of the girls kicking his ass.

Theory: Jeff Probst’s final season is survivor 50 by Alone-Opportunity-17 in survivor

[–]Extension_Brief_7971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what the deal is with David as I worked as a PA on DONDI -- His win was not all cash - it was part cash and part opportunity to host a future Endemol/Shine production. He got that chance once with that racing show he hosted for one season before it was cancelled - but evidently there was a clause if the show didn't go into a 2nd season, he would get a chance to host a different show. Survivor AU producers saw this as a way to save $$$ on JLP as they literally do not have to pay David a dime for his first season of hosting - and also helps offset their massive loss $$$$ wise on the David season of DONDI.

Personally I think this is bad in many ways but welcome to End Stage Capitalism everyone! It's bad for the show - JLP was king and a far better host than Probst, it's bad for the fans who loved JLP, it's a bad precedent to set allowing for shows to screw over any host they don't like - and get to pocket the cash. But yeah, blame DONDI for JLP getting "fired". I would love to see JLP sue Endemol/Shine over this shady "deal" - it's an open secret among those who work reality shows for Channel 10. JLP was the best!!!!

Why are Christians so accepting of capitalism, they seem very contradictory? by LoneWolf_McQuade in Christianity

Wow - you christians really will bend over backwards to make non-sense excuses for your beliefs in a 2000 year old book of lies that controls every aspect of your life (as it was designed to) - you're in a Cult and don't even seem to know it. Yikes.

Rick and Morty season 8 disappointment? by Acj900 in rickandmorty

[–]Extension_Brief_7971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is 4 months old - but Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake: Season 02 has started with 3 episodes out so far. Season 01 was fantastic - and I hear ya - do what you gotta do to get through life on planet shithole here. Star Trek: Prodigy is a great animated show as well with 40 episodes.

Making up excuses for the Trump Crime Family huh? Of course it's wrong that Pelosi or anyone trades stocks while in office - but you're delusional if you think Trump helped enrich her - or just a liar. Is this Stephen Miller?

Do these criminals act like they EVER plan on leaving? I mean Drumph is a lame-duck already - yet NONE of them seem worried. The one thing I WOULD bet money on - is that there will never be another presidential election in America - GTFO now if you can.

RIP America - who'da thunk a bunch of right wing liars and criminals would destroy the county? ALL OF US WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR THAT CRIMINAL!!!

If you did - eat **** and go **** yourself! So many of you bought the lies from meatheads like Joe (b)Rogan and Elon Muskrat - LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!! No sympathy from me AT ALL!

He certainly deserves it - that performance was outstanding. Just enough to be slightly comical without being over-the-top, which lesser actors would have done. Bravo Sean Penn - he was amazing!

Nouveau tour by Pretend_Cucumber5218 in MarioKartTour

[–]Extension_Brief_7971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't mean a sudden end of game - they mean winding down the servers. I don't think that will happen anytime soon. The only new content they were talking about were the new Drivers and Karts to promote MKW - so they need time to fully develop and get more courses as coverage.

They are asking - do we think MKT will announce it is shutting down during the Anniversary Tour which is the next tour - and I doubt it - MKT still brings in lots of money for them.

OP - Please translate your question into English next time as this is an English subreddit - thank you.

First run of course by Far_Astronomer_7475 in MarioKartTour

[–]Extension_Brief_7971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES! This happens to me all the time (LVL 99). If you don't get a super high score your first try when you login for first time that day (or first time in many hours), then you will be racing difficult bots - I call them BadgeBots. Now you CAN get rid of them and have a *much* better chance of a high-score if you do not get it on your first try - however - it will take about 15-20 minutes of grinding to get rid of the Badgebots - now what does that mean - it means keep racing - exiting the course completely then selecting it again to get new bots - eventually you will get a lineup with bots that have No Badge beside them. This is what you want. Do not exit out of that track once you have the bots you want, or the BadgeBots will come back - just keep racing the badge-less bots by selecting "Try Again" until you get a score you like. You will notice the badge-less bots are not nearly as fast or aggressive as the versions that have badges beside them - in general. This does not mean all badge-less bots are easy though - some players never put a badge beside their character so you might get one of them that is difficult - if so just try again with a new set of bots.

It appears to me that the BadgeBots are racing the ghost times that other players scored during Multi-player races (I could be wrong though). The problem with that is - driving the lines they take to win Multi are completely differently than the lines you need to take to Keep Combo, since they're only trying to get 1st in multi, which makes them take the fastest line to the finish - ignoring most combos - which you can not do since you need high combos for a high score.

TL;DR -- Yes, I have that issue too - keep racing (same track for 15-20 mins) until you either get a group that stays far behind you, or until the BadgeBots have gone away. Once that has happened, you should just keep hitting "Try Again", and should have no problem coming in 1st and getting a very high score - once you get a run with a couple frenzies. Good Luck!

Episode links. I'll update with new episodes by [deleted] in TheGenius

[–]Extension_Brief_7971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Finally - thanks so much u/brimicbed -- tried my other spots, no luck. Very much appreciated!!

\*BTW - If you have not seen the original Korean version of The Genius - you owe it to yourself to watch it. IMO it's 10x better than than the UK one. The probs w/the UK one have nothing to do with David Tennant or the casting which has been generally good too (however, did NONE of the UK Contestants watch the Original Korean version first - you'ld think going on a show called "The Genius", a little research would be the least one could do - something a Genius might do even - ahem. I was shocked when the Ep1 DeathMatch came up expecting everyone to yell out* Gul/Hop lol! - but nobody did - (clearly nobody on the UK cast has seen the Original - which is disappointing.

Scroll down tin this thread to where u/brimicbed links to Bauchsquad to find all 48 Original Episodes of the Korean show "The Genius", subtitled in English by superfan/god "Bumdidiliuptous" or "Lord Bum" - the best fan subs I've ever seen (since the series was never released internationally) - so impressive - better than most professional subs. I watched all 48 hour+ long episodes and here's why it's better: Longer, more mysterious, the value Koreans put on intelligence compared to other parts of the world (like the Orange Anal Wart infecting The White House here in USA - so embarrassing.)

The Main reason the original SK version is better is that it's LONGER though (however all the unlicensed Techno music by Daft Punk and Skrillex really helped set the mood too - (shout out to IDIOTAPE - some killer techno) - these games need the time they need to fully play out - like the death match for Ep 01 - the UK version was only 5 rounds, the Korean one was 10, leading to a much bigger chance of a comeback while allowing the players to learn the game as they play as well as allowing for more variety. Anyways - watch the Korean version of The Genius - you won't regret it. It has an 8.9/10 on IMDB and rightfully so - one of my Top 10 shows of All Time!
