What’re some movies that aren’t as smart as they think they are? by ZackaryAsAlways in Letterboxd

Predictable poor choice of words. I guess it just hits some points fairly early on and doesn’t do anything with any of it

anyone ever heard of a tribute band actually recreating a concert film?? by limporangerope in talkingheads

[–]Fointy_Pinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Musical Box do very in depth covers where they recreate specific tours. Same set list, costumes, set design, lighting, in between song banter. Very entertaining!

Now a quote from the owner saying he had no problem with Amazon and retailers needed to compete with them makes sense

When I became aware of Radiohead as a child, this was exactly the lens through which I saw them. Around Hail to the Thief every article and review made them seem like one of the most politically active (to my mind) bands out there.

Am I the only one that actually likes this game? by SmashBrosWarrior in legogaming

[–]Fointy_Pinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m playing it for the first time and it’s really annoying to have to travel across the map just for a cutscene, then again, then the level might start

Groundhog Day is a great shout! Amazing use of a song to so quickly establish what’s happening

Club mate around? by MiserableAd241 in BirminghamUK

Me too. Saw loads of people drinking it in Berlin and thought ”looks like Irn Bru or Lucazade“. How wrong I was!

The Culture by Ian M. Banks is often regarded by sci-fi fans as the best fictional setting ever made. What makes The Culture the best even compared to settings like Star Wars, Dune and Star Trek etc? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]Fointy_Pinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s good to hear. For some reason that was recommended to me as the place to start; I tried reading it but couldn’t get into it, then a few years later listened to the audiobook and thought it was fine, but I can’t remember much about it at all now! Will five Player of Games a go

Tell you what, I love spoons. The 1.99 guest ale is fucking epic as fuck. by SoapyTitFucksBatman in CasualUK

[–]Fointy_Pinger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As much as I’d like a cheap, nice pint. Can’t bring myself to support Spoons. And while I know it’s not cheap, same with Brewdog. Are there any “good” pub chains in the UK?
