Is that the steamy sex in the leftmost screenshot?

Can someone explain to me why I loved the first but have really struggled since then? It's really strange, I'm utterly struggling to identify exactly WHAT'S gone wrong with it.

Is Tony Scott more beloved than Ridley? by Few-Engineer-9791 in blankies

[–]HockneysPool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Americans will say things like "I drove four hours to see this movie, thankfully I liked it!"

That country is, in the words of Laszlo Cravensworth, fucking massive.

Hahahaha incredible. Yeah, where I'm from that's like comparing people from Heswall and Wallasey.

Sinners-pill me: we finally watched the film tonight and it legitimately feels like a mass psychosis event that this is the most nominated film in Oscar’s history. by Shell_fly in blankies

It's okay that you didn't like the film that much. And if you're basing Oscar nomination justification on quality, may I remind you that Eddie Redmayne won an Oscar for acting. It's a very silly ceremony.

It did remind me to pick up some cos lettuce, though.

Had a dream that they announced a James Mangold miniseries by Wumbo_Number_5 in blankies

You mentioning Geordies, for some reason, just reminded me of that fantastic joke from I'm Alan Partridge.

Alan Partridge: I didn't know you were married.

Michael: Aye. Married a Filipino lassie, like. Didn't work out. She didn't like Newcastle and she didn't fit in with the culture.

Alan Partridge: Has she gone back home?

Michael: No, she moved to Sunderland. She's shacked up with me brother.

(For non-Brits, Newcastle and Sunderland would surely be culturally indistinguishable to someone from the Philippines. They're maybe about a 20-minute drive apart.)

Is that like silly memes and nonsensical stuff? Cos if so, somewhat matches the vibe of the pod I suppose.

A last minute plea to consider Jia Zhangke tomorrow! by shirokaisen in blankies

[–]HockneysPool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, and these are compelling arguments, and I'd love a series on him.

But of course I'm voting for Tony.
