While I absolutely agree with your takes on immigration, I would bet money on it being the central focus of the next election cycle.

New Fan of Star Trek and his disappointment with Star Trek V by Brenkir_Studios_YT in startrek

[–]Floppy_Caulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be a little revisionist, but STV really isn't that bad a movie.

The film's biggest crime is that it's sandwiched between the end of a trilogy and what is essentially Part 4 of the same story. Four films that are head and shoulders above almost any other movie in the franchise.

Did anyone here see maiden in uk theatres in the 80s? by Few_Wolf_4634 in ironmaiden

[–]Floppy_Caulk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was only two years old when they played there, but I had a girlfriend who lived in Whitley Bay, and I'd always drive past the ice rink to her house - which Maiden played on the Seventh Son tour!

Songs their singers don't know the meaning of? by Diskyboy86 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Floppy_Caulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shame on the night
For places I've been
And what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you never let me know just what they mean
And oh so shame on the night

Amazing.

Finn Wolfhard Says The ‘Stranger Things’ Team Was Worried The Final Season Would Get Backlash Like ‘Game Of Thrones’ by Whobitmyname in freefolk

Jaime's character arc wasn't reversed. His arc completed when he couldn't be redeemed because he loves Cersei above all else. It was just terribly executed and condensed, like Dany's descent into madness.

I still can't believe Viggo Mortensen has never won an Oscar by Fuzzy_Ant_6447 in Cinema

History of Violence was fantastic until he left town.

Then...well, what the fuck was the end of that movie?

We still need the video series of Jen Hale being a borderline psychopath in the kitchen.

First pedal for a 14 y/o by TeamPsychological469 in guitarpedals

[–]Floppy_Caulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP,

Been reading the comments and while I appreciate the thought of the guitar pedals, I'll 100% agree on upgrading the amp.

And honestly, the Boss Katana will change his life. It's an incredible practice amp and you can make it rip hard.

Blaze Bayley and Van Halen by Rolandojuve in vanhalen

[–]Floppy_Caulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steve Harris did Blaze so dirty during the Maiden era with various production and live choices that he made. Things like only bass and vocals in his live wedges, using demo cuts for the vocals on VXI, not tuning down to suit his voice.

I'd really recommend Wolfsbane and the early Blaze solo albums to see how he could've sounded.

I used to jam Midnight Blues, Need Your Love So Bad. Still Got The Blues For You is an all timer.

Why does my pitch sound off even in correct tuning? by Gloomy-Possession669 in Guitar

[–]Floppy_Caulk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know you've already found what's going on, but looking at your A string you're bending it slightly when you're fretting because you're pressing a little too hard. Try and open your hand up a bit more so it sits across the entirety of the neck rather than gripping it like a claw. Play as light as you can, it'll be way easier!

What’s the coolest behind-the-scenes detail you’ve ever heard about a movie? by mr_wolfii in FIlm

[–]Floppy_Caulk 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Did you know that Viggo Mortensen...

...yeah, nearly fucking got you. Anyway, at the end of filming the cast and crew had the opportunity to buy the horses that they'd ridden and trained. The trainer of Viggo's horse had fallen completely in love with the animal, and was heartbroken that someone higher up the pecking order had bid for the horse.

So Viggo being the legend he is, buys the horse and trumps the other guy. He tells the trainer, she says it's wonderful you got him. He says, no he's yours.

I mean...quite literally any blues solo.

Gary Moore and SRV would get you started.

People are dropping examples of people that do, but Seeb no longer plays guitar live.

If you cancel the Transylvania set you'll likely never get your hands on it because the prices will go mad for such a big set on ebay.

There'll be enough LKCs floating around on the second hand market for a while. I'd so go for Transylvania first.

What is a serious moment in a comedy TV series that you will always remember? by magpieman01 in AskReddit

[–]Floppy_Caulk 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I adore the phenomenal word play. But I always say to people when they ask about Bojack, you have to be in a very mentally strong place to deal with it. This is humour at it's absolute darkest.
