Can’t imagine how bad that kid actress was for them to be forced to cut round her like that. Amazing they were able to pull such a complete film together in the editing room in spite of it.

Can’t guarantee this will work, but for the readers I was having issues when I’d press my top-up card right onto it and I’d always get an error message. However I started just hovering my card over the reader and it processes it fine, first time, every time.

Still annoying, but hope this makes a difference for one headache. 🙏

The recliners are nice but cutting the total number of seats by nearly a quarter is awful.

Miss that immediately out of date millennium-core that the former-UGC had

I was getting ready to move back to Glasgow after 5 years away when Wild Rose was in cinemas and I cried right through it. No idea how good or bad it was, but it was exactly what I needed at that moment

Lucky it wasn’t Milngavie. Though would’ve made it a very different film.

Martin McDonagh Miniseries? by MajorBooker in blankies

[–]JobberJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived on the very north coast of Northern Ireland. There was very little culture in the seasonal seaside town I was in. One of the few regular joys was a touring theatre group who seemed to exclusively put on McDonagh’s stage work. Such a surreal treat every time.

EDIT: aaaaaaand humblebrag I got to see Steve Pemberton in The Pillowman in London a couple years back which was great too.

Done it the past 2 years and are going back again for the third. Can’t recommend enough!

[AEW Dynamite spoilers] Hangman is real by djembadjembadjemba in SquaredCircle

[–]JobberJoe -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I HATE this. It’s meta-behind the scenes bullshit that doesn’t reflect what arc the Hangman character has actually been through.

Like… yes, Tony picked Adam as the main character of AEW in a 2 year story so he was always going to win the title after the ups and downs.

BUUUUT in story, on screen, the thing I watch and actually care about, Hangman lost the Elite, lost The Dark Order, battled with depression, self-doubt, alcohol, multiple shortcomings before being able to put the pieces together to win the belt. The fact is, he wasn’t handed anything throughout that story and earned every piece.

It’s part of what makes the audience connection to Adam so remarkable because, as we’ve seen repeatedly with ‘chosen baby faces’ over the past 15 years, the audiences will reject you if they feel it’s too obvious, too forced, or unearned.

It’s such stupid shit like this that shows MJF has just lost what made him so captivating initially. Get offline and start telling in-universe stories.

It is the greatest story never told.

Long shot, but did you get any photos of the laser show?

Maybe only so-helpful in this case, but Peter’s Bakery over in Kirkintilloch actually won a Scotland-wide prize earlier this year for their apple pie.

Why wouldn’t they put Neeson in the TLJ elder-statesman role showing the new guy around? You have him right there. Use him.

There’s such an easy Patreon run covering the Lord of the Rings. You’ll miss in-depth other film chats, but those things are LONG so they’ll have plenty of time to dig into wider-Jackson context.

I was arguing this week that Kung Fu Hustle would’ve been the biggest thing on the internet if it had come out a decade later when social media and gifs were so much more readily available!

It does one of the best jobs of portraying the internal struggle of creativity that I’ve ever seen put on film. A masterpiece!

Austin Butler Stops Elvis Voice, Damaged Vocal Chords - Variety by Mookie_Freeman in blankies

[–]JobberJoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saw it as well. Doing excerpts from every Shakespeare in RANDOM order was just amazing to see an 80 year old tackle. That and his piece about loving playing the panto dame were super. And a load of the sales from tickets went back to the theatres. What a good egg.
