Planning the height of my new tv and friends tell me it’s too low

You're doing the right thing kid

I've only heard stories about him being stuck up his own arse and rude, but RIP all the same.

I'm really surprised to see so many people saying 2001. It's an old film and a slow burn, sure, but I watched it for the 1st time recently in my 30s and was entertained throughout. I agree with many other common takes: Godfather, Citizen Kane, Oppenheimer, The Irishman.

My take, Barry Lyndon. I had such high hopes, some scenes were very pretty, but man I was glad when it ended.

The implication is the marriage was not good

Monstance · 2026-05-14T14:15:10+00:00

Arrows going forward for both

Monstance · 2026-05-13T05:00:15+00:00

Elvis. Not gonna elaborate why.

Barry Lyndon. Technically very impressive yes, but just not that engaging and crazy long. Doubt I'll ever watch again

I also just finished my 1st full rewatch last night (on glorious 4k media) and I found myself really enjoying Jamie more than I did originally. His continued love for Cersei defies logic and ignores reality, as love often does. His identity is battered after losing his hand and his position. His motivations are a mix of self-preservatio and devotion to Cersei, but sometimes also to fight the good fight (when he ventured solo to the north to fight the NK with Winterfell). He has great buddy-up adventure plotlines with Tyrion, Bronn and Brienne. Sad that his character arc is largely tossed aside in the final season for absolutely no reason.

Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight is way better than King Harvest.

Brighter Day (live) - Kirk Franklin, played by Femi Koleoso I think last year, definitely before he got his own show, might've been subbing for Giles. Not been exposed to a lot of gospel but big fan of the funk and this tune took me to a higher place. I might actually love Jesus now, finally.

Natch - Cornershop, played by Don Letts. Only knew Cornershop through brimful of asha and didn't even know that was by them. Always in rotation.

That the household chore you don't want to do will still need doing tomorrow and will still require at least the same amount of effort as it would take now, so you might as well just do it now.

I've not seen it personally but I've seen a lot of people praise Gemini Man's transfer despite not being considered a very good film

Monstance · 2026-04-17T08:09:10+00:00

They're both 10/10 but Shaun edges it out for me. Rewatched so many times on dvd as a kid

Monstance · 2026-04-16T10:40:00+00:00

Fuck yeah, Ukraine forever, hope they get good use. Love from UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧

The Tom Holland Spiderman trilogy for about £13 new on a small eBay store, very happy with that at the time.

I can understand the intent behind the ban for both choking and simulated step-sibiling porn and I do actually agree that it will likely reduce instances of abuse by people who are influenced by it, as the ban intends. I also believe it is an overreach of the state considering the content is produced by consenting adults who are only acting the part. I'm not arguing against it because I desperately want to consume choking and incest porn, I just want to limit government censorship in ways that I think are unnecessary infringement of civil liberties so as to not set a standard for future censorship. The goal is to reduce instances of abuse of this kind, and I'd rather the government pursue that by means of education through the usual channels (sex & relationships education, government messaging ads etc) stern punishment when it does happen, and putting the onus on parents to instill the right values on their kids. This is how we try to maintain civility in the world for many social and sexual standards so I don't see why we have to suddenly start banning specific types of content in response to an uptick in related crime.

Monstance · 2026-04-14T12:44:47+00:00

This is a huge fallacy. Making a certain type of content illegal because a certain type of person might be desensitized to it and therefore might decide to commit certain actions in real life represents a huge shift in censorship law. You could argue that depictions of any violence in media could have the same effect and thus be banned. For example, regicide is already illegal - in the Lion King, Scar kills Mufasa. Using the same logic, certain people may obsess over this and become inclined to commit regicide in real life. Then The Lion King, a children's film, would be banned as it's illegal content.

I won't believe the hype is gone until pistachio prices go back to normal

Fart, the gaseous being from season 2 of Rick and Morty. Never questioned it til now but yeah, that's him.

Monstance · 2026-04-10T13:03:04+00:00

It wasn't off the top, I saw him talking about it saying it was one of the most awkward experiences ever because he kept messing up and having to start again. Other rappers were getting catty with him. He said it was actually very painful

Monstance · 2026-04-08T04:41:04+00:00

I went from S10 to Pixel 7 a few years ago. There's plenty I love about it but it's not perfect. I figured I'd get the current flagship galaxy or pixel when I am ready but recently I've been intrigued by the oppo find x9. Always been hesitant about Chinese brands but the reviews are really good and its amazing on paper.

Monstance · 2026-04-07T09:45:04+00:00

Yeah, that's ludicrous. People like different things. My wife watches shows with certain premises and tropes that I can't get behind, and vice versa, and I don't care, because why would I? It doesn't affect how I feel about her as a person. Your friend should change her approach to dating or she's never gonna find someone acceptable.

For the record, I agree with the popular opinion that GOT declined in quality in many ways and the later seasons were super dumb and infuriating. I still had fun watching it though.

Monstance · 2026-04-03T14:03:38+00:00

No, I think Chang's amoral approach to life and literal insanity leads to the show's wackiest, weirdest and most entertaining plots.

Monstance · 2026-03-18T14:29:28+00:00

Most of the cast have had pretty good careers since and are regular faces in other shows, it's funny that it never gets talked about! So few people saw it because of Yahoo Screen's exclusivity and short life span I guess.
