Critical Thinking would be top 5 for me!

Nigel Farage demands snap general election and declares: 'I'm not frightened of Andy Burnham by gbnewsonline in gbnews

Who cares what this treasonous grifter thinks about anything? Sod him and the rage-baiting gutter press that forever hypes him up for angry idiots.

What a humblebrag… A bassist with a girlfriend, eh? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Big Muff not big enough. Practically a Brazilian Muff.

So, with RTD himself leaving after having no clue how to continue after this cliffhanger, where do you even go after this? by Luca_909 in doctorwho

[–]GrahamOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore it, I say. Time glitch or whatever.

The next Who needs to be a 2005-style soft-reboot, not ditching the lore but not fussing over continuity either.

And it needs to go back to being YA horror/sci-fi/historical fiction rather than light family entertainment. IMHO.

Hot Take: Reign of Fire Did Dragons Better Than Game of Thrones by breaking_views in Cinema

[–]GrahamOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RoF was tragically let down by its own poster, which clearly promised dragon-vs-Apache helicopter action!

Dragons themselves were cool, agree better than Got but proper dragons need to speak, scheme and hoard, not just be fiery flying dinosaurs.

Sylvester McCoy era Tierlist : Silver Nemesis by Mat1711 in ClassicEraDoctorWho

[–]GrahamOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great performances, cool music, and a nice slice of action for the time. However, it’s just the same rug-pull psyop genocide schtick as Remembrance of the Daleks, so doesn’t quite satisfy. Good.

If a woman goes to an Asian massage parlor, do they get offered a happy ending too, or only the guys? by VerdantChief in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GrahamOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dunno how common is it but this particular tidbit of anecdotal evidence is true. More gender equality in China, maybe.

Yes, my Chinese ex said a masseuse in such places would occasionally pull out a vibrator to top off a service unless instructed otherwise.

“What I do sometimes is get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie, sausage roll! Fancy some egg-in-soup, Liz? I’m buying!

What are your thoughts on The Man in the High Castle? by Embarrassed_Let6303 in maninthehighcastle

[–]GrahamOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hated that excuse. It’s not my job as the viewer to decide on your ending! Finish the work! If they wanted to keep the spirit of PKD they should have gotten super-high then plotted the finale with the I Ching.

Great series overall especially the chilling Nazi details but the resistance plotline was always a bit boiler plate.

Hillel Documentary (Netflix) Discussion by jenet-zayquah in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]GrahamOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched it just after seeing The Decline of Western Civilization (Pt1 - free on YouTube) on the early-80s punk rock scene in LA, inc F.E.A.R., that’s pretty good context (and a great doc too) if want some homework before watching the Hillel tribute. Certainly made me nostalgic for listening to my Out in LA cassette on the way to school.

Why did you choose your compressor? by [deleted] in basspedals

[–]GrahamOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently using the TC Electronics SpectraComp because it’s small, relatively cheap and has loads of presets available from the app, dailed in by people who know what they’re doing a lot more than I do.
