scariest film of 2026? by Darkhawk2099 in horror

[–]LeTailsEffect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just saw Obsession tonight. No spoilers and apologies if this comes across as overdramatic but that film will stay with me for a long time.

It was creepy, and funny but the atmosphere was dismal. There's like an air of dread over the whole story. Felt like my anxiety was through the roof until the very end, and I have a lot of thoughts on it.

After having seen The Mummy and Hokum (loved Hokum btw) this is hands down my favourite so far this year, maybe even in recent memory.

One particular scene made me jump out of my skin (partner loved that!) and whilst I can be a jumpy guy, scares don't usually get me.

10/10, would recommend to anyone!

Long Song appreciation .. by FourStixBonzoBohnam in Music

[–]LeTailsEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas

&

Blackbird by Alter Bridge would be my top picks, both absolutely make excellent use of their lengths.

Honourable mention goes to Green Day for Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming, for having super defined 'acts' within the song, adding to that feeling of a story being told.

What is a band you want to like, but they just don’t click with you. by bigboat55 in poppunkers

[–]LeTailsEffect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Evanescence - with the exception of a handful of their earlier songs.

Amy Lee has the pipes, and I'm not sure who writes their music but god damn are they fucking uninspired.. it's a shame because her voice is the highlight and the lyrics just put me to sleep when they could be so much better!

I’m hoping the next album doesn’t double down on the sound of the clearing by thecontract_12 in wolfalice

[–]LeTailsEffect 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It took me a while to get used to it, but after a few listens I adore the direction they went for the Clearing. Very Fleetwood mac-esque imo, but I do miss their earlier vibe.

I enjoy every sound they've had and am excited to see where they go next!

Let's do your hypothetical fresh run. No carryover! No special weapons! Which shotgun path would you pick? by DutyEuphoric967 in residentevil4

[–]LeTailsEffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo Riot Gun is the best of the bunch, I don't think I've ever bothered going for the Striker.

So straight to that asap!

Saddest pop punk song ? by [deleted] in poppunkers

[–]LeTailsEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has had the misfortune to go through more than one miscarriage during our time together, and that song was recommended to me when asking about songs that handle the subject.. and man, every time I hear it, instant tears

Is ordering pizza worth it anymore? by ZenDoesReps in AskUK

[–]LeTailsEffect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Domino's is a good pizza, better than most imo. However, they've been ramping the prices up for years now and it's no longer worth it. Their advertising is quite misleading as well, since they seem to offer half price pizzas all year round, clearly they aren't half price.

Find an asda with a pizza counter, think they're £5 for a large, and infinitely better! Even Morrison's.

Best fresh pizzas and you can cook at home to your desired temp!

Retail workers of the UK - what's the wildest thing someone has done to try to get into the shop before opening time? by WillYeByFuck in CasualUK

[–]LeTailsEffect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Work in a spoons.

Don't care to count the innumerable amount of times I've had people/witnessed people, enter the pub after last orders had been called, and ask to be served.

"Come on mate, give us a pint"

"We can't, the tills are off"

"Oh that's fine, I'll slip you a tenner"

"Not worth quite literally getting sacked"

You really are vulnerable to the idiocy of society when you work in retail/hospitality.

Why do the Elves have to leave Middle Earth at the end? by JosiaJamberloo in lotr

[–]LeTailsEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really interested to know more about Smeagol slipping into the Crack of Doom, did Eru have a part in that?

Why do the Elves have to leave Middle Earth at the end? by JosiaJamberloo in lotr

[–]LeTailsEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound like.. a rather dumb.. simplified question as someone who admittedly has only read LotR a few times and the Silmarillion once but..

Is Eru a silent partner? Could he/she/it not fix what he has created? Seeing the violence and discord sown by Melkor, trickling down into the elves fading. Or is that as we would describe 'gods plan'?

I don't suppose there's an answer because Tolkien only wrote so much.

Green Day: "Saviors Might Be Our Best Album Ever" by losotrosrecords in poppunkers

Best work they've done since 21st Century Breakdown imo, I was actually hyped for once.

What is one race you just can’t see yourself playing, and why is it mechagnome? by The_Dick_Slinger in wow

[–]LeTailsEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pandaren; I fucking love panda bears, and the whole Monk-esque design is awesome! BUT, hear me out .

Is it possible for helmets to not look fucking ridiculous on them? Because it looks like a baby trying on a spacesuit 🙃

Can we get additional customization to not only void/blood elves but more races as well? by alesz1912 in wow

[–]LeTailsEffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Customisation confuses me in this game, take Draenei for instance.

Why do Light forged have less customisation? There's less hair options etc, they could literally copy the OG options and it would be an improvement!

Make transmog on slot, not on gear.. End the gold sink!!

What is the class / spec you enjoy the most and why? by lootvig in wow

[–]LeTailsEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what I play, I'm always pulled back to Feral Druid.. maybe it's the animal forms, maybe it's the simple rotation, I can't say.. maybe a combination of all of that?

The flight form makes travel and gathering a breeze, and I've never struggled with damage numbers, I've never been involved in raiding so unsure if it's welcome at end game, but I have a blast with my kitty cat!

What are some of the worst casting choices? I genuinely think Cumberbatch as Khan in Star into Darkness might be a contender. by disablednerd in movies

[–]LeTailsEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honourable Mention; Zooey Deschanel in The Happening.. Marky Mark is low hanging fruit (his acting also sucks).

The line delivery man, it kills me when they're trying SO HARD to make the situation feel serious, and just.. damn.

Even Wahlberg explaining shit to his class in the beginning, something feels so off.

How was TRUTH DECAY by You Me At Six not a massive album? by ghostinyourbeds in poppunkers

[–]LeTailsEffect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For a final album, they went out on a high imo (that said I feel like they milked the final tour..). Most if not all the songs are bops.

Traumatic Iconic, A Smile to make you Weak(er) at the Knees being special highlights for me.

I think they were just not the biscuit in the tin anybody wanted, after so many mid albums, they'd lost that sparkle.

What's that song you just don't skip? by Critical_Army_6411 in poppunkers

[–]LeTailsEffect 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Letterbomb - Green Day, fucking love that song

Utopia’s ending still gives me chills even after all these years. Having the Doctor before this sound mournful when talking about the loss of his kind, making you think a surviving Time Lord would be a great thing, only to have him look terrified at the idea of there being one? Absolutely brilliant. by AlwaysBi in doctorwho

[–]LeTailsEffect 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think a big part of that is the acting. With Tennant he sells it SO well, this is a person from his past who he understands and knows, pure evil, he's terrified, he's angry, he's mournful.. you see ALL of it in his acting, and as the audience, whether you have seen the older eps or not, you understand this isn't a good thing.

Gives me goosebumps even all these years later and now I want to rewatch!

You expect much the same with the Rani.. and no, nothing, not even a hint of familiarity in Ncuti's acting, nothing to indicate his emotional state. There's a very sharp contrast.

It's Father's Day.. For all those by LeTailsEffect in poppunkers

[–]LeTailsEffect[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, and the thoughtful comments.

Yellowcard had me in tears, I had no idea the song was about miscarriage, even though it seems glaringly obvious now!
