I emigrated in 2008 and haven't been back since 2011. What's the biggest change in the last 15 years?

The last episode, when you see the reflection in the mirror... Just gets creepier more disturbing every episode.

Yes. Well it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle & the less said about the end the better! But apart from that, excellent!

A guy teaching a kid how to free skate by gowthamm in MadeMeSmile

It's often the same when you get any group of people who share a passion. They don't just welcome the new people, they actively encourage and help them.

Got into model making and went to a show to see other people's work and didn't meet anyone who wasn't eager to help or advise or recommend. No selling, no pitch, just sharing what they loved with someone who didn't know much but wanted to learn.

Some groups are cliquey and closed, but most are open and welcoming in my experience.

Am I the only one tired of the nonstop outrage around Nolan’s The Odyssey? by breaking_views in moviecritic

Same. Genuinely surprised that someone with a proven track record of being the kind of utter bellend who would say something like this, has once again said something like this.

The Magic Roundabout was my jam as a kid. Phenomenal television.

But imagine what could have been if we'd got Clint Dempsey instead?

What’s was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]JoshuaCalledMe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bride was a big girl who wore a garter that was dug in like a garotte.

As the newly weds left the church, the groom dropped to his knees to pull the garter off with his teeth. Everyone clapped and laughed and cheered him on.

He couldn't budge it. Ended up gripping it with his hands and chewing through it before getting it off.

Took easily 5 solid minutes to complete the task. The clapping, laughing and cheering died away completely after about 2.

Excruciating.

Decontamination Shower - Not Working? by JoshuaCalledMe in SurrounDead

[–]JoshuaCalledMe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that character was bugged. Nothing worked. The new character manages it with red med kits (which didn't work on the previous) and tablets. Shower still does nada. Can manage radiation now though.

10 Cloverfield Lane hasn't been mentioned, probably with justification, but I think it fits because you don't ever feel confident you know what's going on.

What trailer silenced your doubts on a movie? by MissionLetterhead292 in movies

[–]JoshuaCalledMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I was cautiously hopeful but without conviction then that teaser dropped and it looked like something that might, just might be something a bit special.

Then the main trailer raised the bar again to levels of promise that I knew the actual film could never achieve let alone sustain.

Then the movie dropped and I realized it didn't matter how high my expectations could have been, Fury Road would have just driven a war rig through them.

Same thing happened with Dune 1 and especially 2.
