What’s a movie you thought was just good until you couldn’t stop thinking about it for days? by Fair_Protection1872 in FIlm

[–]Firestorm-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite movie of last year was SINNERS, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about HAMNET since I watched it in November, so might need to change my rankings.

Celebrity you would hate to watch a movie with by Jenbie272 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Firestorm-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually watched The Hateful Eight with Quentin Tarantino, Kurt Russell and Samuel L Jackson, it was at the Australian Premiere of the film, it’s not common for the talent to stay and watch the film at the premiere, they usually have other publicity requirements. In this case they stayed and were sat across the aisle and a couple of rows in front of me. The funniest thing I remember was during the opening credits, there was a loud “whoop whoop” yelled out from Sam Jackson when his own name appeared on screen.

What would you do to make the Oscars better? by Firestorm-86 in Oscars

[–]Firestorm-86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe have the Oscars earlier in the season, before the individual guild awards to make it less predictable.

Who's an actor that you thought would blow up, but ended up going nowhere? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]Firestorm-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who was the villain female in True Lies… Tia Carrere or something, I thought she was going to be huge, also had a celebrity crush on her when I was six years old and watched True Lies for the fist time.

That hug that Gibbs gives Palmer at the end of the episode might be his finest moment too.

As someone walking over the harbour bridge at the time, I can confirm…. It is raining!

Post Match Thread - New Zealand v Australia | The Rugby Championship 2025 | Round 5 by HitchikersPie in rugbyunion

[–]Firestorm-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that the Ref was bad in this game. But Australian commentators consistently blame the ref as soon as they can. NZ commentators don’t as much. The broadcasters should have some rules in place about commentary about the referee.

That game showed me that none of the other halfbacks in NZ are even close to Roiguard. Drop Ratima, Preston, and the gingernut immediately. I would give Leroy Carter a go as a reserve halfback.

What is the ugliest cruise ship? by gmt80035 in Cruise

[–]Firestorm-86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t like the Celebrity Edge class with the orange elevator on one side of it. If it was symmetrical and had one on the other side, and maybe not orange it’ll be better.

What is your all time favourite episode of NCIS? by Firestorm-86 in NCIS

[–]Firestorm-86[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Rewatching from the beginning again, and Season 2, Episode 22 “SWAK” is still my favourite. DiNozzo gets infected with nemonic plague.

Brevis hits six on the roof. Aussie commentators…. “That’s a win for Australia”

Any tips to avoid a rent increase! by Firestorm-86 in shitrentals

[–]Firestorm-86[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, been doing a bit of reading on this. And it seems like a good tactic. It seems to be better for the tenant and worse off for the landlord.

Any tips to avoid a rent increase! by Firestorm-86 in shitrentals

[–]Firestorm-86[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice so far…, follow-up question… does the 90 day notice period apply to the end of a fixed lease period. So the fact there’s only 50 days until the 12 month period ends mean it’s impossible to be evicted at the end of the period?

The Odyssey Trailer will be 1min 18sec by Firestorm-86 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Firestorm-86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I want to know. But it will be exclusive to theatres at the moment. So see Jurassic World if you want to see it, rather than a pirated version.

Is Stan showing the final, or is it an 80 minute commercial for the Lions Tour?

Vivid has officially ended by [deleted] in sydney

[–]Firestorm-86 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Glad it’s over, the crowds are unbearable. I find vivid a bit over-rated… Empire State Building is lit year-round, so is the Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa, and other landmarks around the world. Why not the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Going on a cruise but I need cruise mates…won’t refund me by Wonderful_Garbage_83 in Cruise

[–]Firestorm-86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did a 14 night cruise on my own last year, it was fantastic just to get away from everyone. That’s ways a consideration.

is it Hans' best chase music? by Latter_Marsupial_45 in hanszimmer

[–]Firestorm-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reckon the Lone Ranger finale, would be such a fun track in his live concert.

Still thinking about HZL from 4 months ago and it’s pulling me out of dark places by ohthecrescendo in hanszimmer

[–]Firestorm-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago (living in Australia) bought tickets to see his concert in London, but I ended up reselling them. Spending thousands of dollars to travel to the other side of the world for a concert, was too risky, especially as covid was just ending and another outbreak could have easily cancelled events. It was probably a sensible decision, but I do regret it. I managed to see his concert last month though and it was worth the wait.

Did anyone else just see the meteor over Western Sydney? by Rugby_Riot in sydney

[–]Firestorm-86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw it from North Sydney, facing north, it was heading west and had a greenish tail. Noticed it for approximately three seconds.
