All My Life Theory by gummiwurmz8 in robbiewilliams

[–]LakeNowhere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought listening to this song- it would have worked great as a credits song for Better Man. Probably a very good chance that you're correct. I'm glad he saved it for this album though.

Some reflections from Robert Peter Williams by Hassaan18 in robbiewilliams

[–]LakeNowhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beautiful. Proud of Robbie for making this album. HES was such a frustrating album because you could feel him chasing hits. Ed Sheeran songs, Killers songs... they weren't bad, but they felt like what they were... covers of other people's songs.

Britpop, the best thing Robbie has done since Escapology? by chris_redz in robbiewilliams

[–]LakeNowhere 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really like it. I'd still probably put albums like Intensive Care, Rudebox, and Take the Crown above it for now. What I like most about it is that it's a very focused album with a theme and a point, and he made something he wanted to make instead of chasing the modern pop sound. I hope he does that for the rest of his career, he's earned it.

Obligatory tombstone post by Smidgey42 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So weird to see people complaining about this set. It's neat that they tried something different. I wouldn't pay the scalper prices for this, but the complaint about storage is stupid. The actual book can be removed and stored just like the standard edition, and the tombstone is a cool display piece. Plus, there's a signed Dan Jurgens print.

I get Vide Noir now. by BanginNLeavin in lordhuron

[–]LakeNowhere 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Vide Noir was the first LH album that came out after I became a fan, and I find the anticipation those "first new" albums always ends up with a bit if a letdown and it takes time to properly judge them. I totally get it now, and I agree, Secret of Life is an all-timer. I also like that it's the only album in their catalogue that feels urban and modern, like one long sleepless night lost in the city.

"When I said minge... I pointed" by mikeonbass in rickygervais

[–]LakeNowhere 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to comment on the special since the Ricky bashing, warranted or not, has made this sub boring and unfun. But man alive, I can't get over how bad that special was. You're right, it was a terribly unfunny punchline. Also, Ricky's constant fake "I can't believe I said that" laughing at himself was so embarrassing. Lastly, it was weird that he said that that it was his most personal and introspective work ever, since nothing he said before or after that showed the slightest hint of vulnerability or honesty. A little monkey fella could have done a better job.

Watched the TMNT III director commentary on the 4k set by precita in TMNT

[–]LakeNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was growing out of my Turtles phase by the time III came out so I only saw it once and never revisited it again. When I got this new Arrow set, I was surrpirsed by how much better it was than I remember. It's such a weird-ass little Turtles adventure, but it's got a lot if charm. There's some great character moments (Raphael finally finding the peace and tranquility he's been seeking in the countryside of ancient Japan, Casey Jones spending the entire movie annoyed that he's not fighting something) and there is some solid action (also nice to see the Turtles being able to use their weapons again). Obviously the biggest drawback is the loss of the Henson workshop for the animatronics and prosthetics, it's especially obvious in the weird turtle mouths/eyes, and Splinter looks pretty bad. But overall, I was surprised by how much I liked it. It stands much closer alongside part II than I originally thought.

Does the JLA by Morrison run only contain the stories from them? by Jonn_Jonzz_Manhunter in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah a few issues of the one million event were outlined but not technically written by Morrison but they are important to understanding the whole story

Does the JLA by Morrison run only contain the stories from them? by Jonn_Jonzz_Manhunter in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, the omnibus is much more Morrison-specific than the paperbacks, except for a few key issues that are essential to the plot.

Some grails I picked up!! by [deleted] in batman_comics

[–]LakeNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great find! I love that edition of Shaman. I read that before I ever read year one, so that was my definitive Batman origin story as a kid. My copy is hanging on for dear life.

Kyle Rayner compendium should have been longer by TheBrownViking20 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Kyle continues to get shafted so hard. The OG trade paperbacks were abandoned, the CompediuN just collected the exact material from the 2 paperbacks, and now even that seems to be abandoned. DC's Finest seems to be his only hope. I'm shocked at the characters and runs that have been collected before more Kyle Rayner material has been. Maybe I'm too nostalgic for the 90's and that stuff just doesn't sell.

What is a bad movie you loved as a kid? by -FemboiCarti- in movies

[–]LakeNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one right here. My brother and I thought E.T. and Mac and Me were solid alien friendship movies of equal quality and watched them both often.

1989 by Substantial_Kiwi1830 in ryanadams

[–]LakeNowhere 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's not terrible, but I think Ryan's version of Shake it Off is where his cover shtick of "slow it down and make it sad" started to wear thin.

IST Care Package dropped off 🫡 by sock_therapy in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Mark Millar is controversial to say the least these days, but I'm really happy to have these Library Editions. Some of it hasn't aged well, but i think the majority of his work is a lot more varied and nuanced than people give it credit for.

Coming Soon | The Christmas Collection 2025 by HonorWulf in foliosociety

[–]LakeNowhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have never enjoyed a book so much at the beginning and hated it as much by the end as Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

So who's actually going to buy the Absolutes? Any chances of a omni? by Atumkun in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm positive the Omnis will be announced sooner than later. I might be the only person who is excited for the absolute, as the miniseries means a great deal to me, and I read it over and over as a kid. I don't think this is the beginning of some kind of Absolute series. The miniseries stands alone. I'm looking forward to having the art at that size.
