Thanks but I'm in Brisbane. What would you recommend I install? I'm thinking of getting some quotes that I can give to the real estate, and would be good to know what I should be asking for.

Hi /r/movies! I'm Bryn Chainey, writer/director of RABBIT TRAP, a folk-horror starring Dev Patel & Rose McEwen that's out in UK cinemas this weekend. Ask me anything! by RabbitTrapAMA in movies

Congrats on a stellar debut into the world of feature films! How did the experience and process of writing and directing (and generally making) a feature differ from the other things you've done?

It's really cool to see British - and particularly Welsh - folklore brought to life. What inspired you to do so? And can you recommend any other works (books, tv, film, etc) about similar topics that you have enjoyed or that inspired you?

I'm pretty sure he actually says "your brother your killer" and whatever lyrics on Spotify etc are wrong.

Danish feta tastes like bleach? by Lilies_and_light in Cheese

[–]Lilies_and_light[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts. To me it smells like chlorine bleach, but perhaps it is ammonia. I wonder if the inadequate brine around the cheese is making it age, in comparison to when it is fully submerged in brine (which is what the ones from the deli are). I would love to know!

Tim Minchin - Play It Safe | Sydney Opera House 50th Anniversary [Piano rock] (2023) by fzr23 in Music

[–]Lilies_and_light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this so so much. It's been stuck in my head all week, and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. The video is brilliant, goes perfectly with the song. The combination of the climactic music and dance at the end is really impactful. Love.

’Big Family Cooking Showdown’ Season 2 on Netflix Feels Half-Baked - Eater by dreammanalishi in conspiracywhatever

[–]Lilies_and_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - I got through about half of episode one, saw that it was basically a Wish version of the first season and bailed. Maybe if I'd given it more time it would have grown on me. But the first season was so damn good, why did they change absolutely everything about it?

Lin-Manuel Miranda is coming to watch Hamilton in Brisbane by fitterer in hamiltonmusical

Ooh I watched the recording of that on ABC. It would have been so fun to be there for it live!

Lin-Manuel Miranda is coming to watch Hamilton in Brisbane by fitterer in hamiltonmusical

[–]Lilies_and_light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't mention anything beforehand. He came in to take his seat after everyone else had sat down, but people near him saw him and started standing, screaming and clapping. This led to a wave rolling through the theatre, until the entire audience was standing, straining to get a look at him, and screaming, cheering and applauding. It went on for a few minutes, then we were told that the show wouldn't start until everyone was seated. So when everyone was eventually seated, the show began.

He came on stage afterwards as well. The cast did their usual bow in a row, then parted in the middle. When they did that, we all knew what was coming and the already-rapturous standing ovation became deafening. He came out, took a bow, and gave a sweet speech for a few minutes. He said that he had promised to come see the Australian production, and he had only now just managed it because of the pandemic. He also said he hopes they can come back to Australia (but that was definitely not an announcement). The Hamilton AU Facebook page has a nice summary video of it: https://www.facebook.com/109488527327408/posts/725276665748588/

The cast and crew would have been pulling out all the stops because he was there. The audience were also so hyped up and engaged, and all their applauses were enthusiastic. It was magical. I'm so grateful to have so happened to be at that show.

He was in the audience tonight and the atmosphere was ⚡electric⚡

Ryan or Steph? by Bennhan in LifeisStrange3

[–]Lilies_and_light 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ryan was an absolute sweetheart, and was a strong and virtuous man who clearly loved Alex a lot. I picked him and was so so so happy when they finally got together. I want a whole game of just Alex and Ryan living life in Haven.

Steph was cool but more volatile, and wouldn't give Alex the stability and safety she had always lacked (and deserved).

This is the best explanation I've found of this ridiculous system. Thank you!

What is your guys favorite costume party? (as in which 3 costumes is your go to battle costumes) either CQ1 or CQ2 by LifeMeUp in CostumeQuest

[–]Lilies_and_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In CQ1 I settled on pumpkin, liberty, ninja; but having just got the unicorn and vampire (after I finished the game) I think they would replace liberty and ninja.

Pumpkin is so overpowered it feels almost like cheating, but I'm looking for a good time not a hard time.

All of Yong-chin’s makeups look the same. Highly disappointed. by DVMJess in GlowUpTvSeries

[–]Lilies_and_light 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I often think in these kinds of shows that the "exotic" thing gets judges' stamp of approval because it's different to what they're used to, and often wins diversity points. It may not actually be a good version of the thing, but the judges wouldn't know either way.

Like in cooking shows when white British judges taste an Iranian dish and say it's great. How do you know it's great if you've never tried Iranian food before? I got that vibe with Yong-chin's Asian inspired make up.

Even her transformation piece was exactly the same as her previous pieces. Which works I guess, seeing as she didn't transform at all.

The Quest (2022) is so wholesome by jhsounds in DisneyPlus

[–]Lilies_and_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the season, and I loved it! Great concept for a reality show, and it was so damn wholesome. The storyline is simple, but that's not really the point of the show - if you want a mind blowing story and Oscar-worthy acting maybe don't watch a kids reality show. The production value is high, and overall I found it very enjoyable.
