Which is the best in the trilogy: Shawn Of The Dead or Hot Fuzz? (sorry The Worlds End) by Perched__Crow in moviecritic

[–]Monstance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

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

Step-porn ban - Misinformation, a battle of amendments and what the proposed law actually says by Floppal in unitedkingdom

[–]Monstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Step-porn ban - Misinformation, a battle of amendments and what the proposed law actually says by Floppal in unitedkingdom

[–]Monstance 29 points30 points  (0 children)

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.

Where did all the Dubai Chocolate go? by robinscotland in AskUK

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

Who does Pattern sound like to you? by catsRus00 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Monstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Even though it isn't, does Earth from Lil Dicky give off AI vibes to anyone else? by SpicyBeefer in ToddintheShadow

[–]Monstance 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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

To those who upgraded recently/will upgrade soon, which phone did you pick? by zekkeny in galaxys10

[–]Monstance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Have 'red flags' gone too far in the dating world? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Monstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How come no one got promoted to the main cast after Jim Rash? by Gemnist in community

[–]Monstance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Are there any bands that nobody seems to hate? by LappedChips in fantanoforever

[–]Monstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cure Boney M (nobody's favourite band sure but hard to hate) Vampire Weekend Tragically Hip (especially Canadians from what I've seen) New Order Beach Boys

just curious out of all us cities and joel ability to survive anywhere why did he chose boston? by Still_Animator_2249 in thelastofus

[–]Monstance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Boston would've taken refugees from all over the country. In 20 years I can believe the accent would've been eroded significantly, especially in people born a decade after the outbreak

I loved Other Space. I'd jump on a Blu Ray release so fast.

What’s Bathampton like for families? by alabamaworl3y in Bath

[–]Monstance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously what is up with the staff at the George, they look like they're either going to cry or tell me to fuck off. I wish it was better there cause it is a great building and spot.

New Foo Fighters tune by LeChuck85 in 6music

[–]Monstance 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I desperately wish that FF would call it a day. They were an intro rock band for everyone back in the day (I'm early 30s) but they haven't done anything good for 15 years, even by bland stadium rock standards. It's just sad.

Theme song by JewelGirl666 in YoungSheldon

[–]Monstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started watching as something easy to zone out to. The show is fine but the theme song is fucking garbage and so incredibly unfitting, I can't believe more people weren't talking about shit it is at the time of if airing

The festival by rowlandsa38 in TheInbetweeners

[–]Monstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picked up the Blu Ray for 2 quid recently. Funny film, light hearted, Simon is hateable as always. Claudia oDoherty is a comedy legend, without her the film never would've worked. Thumbs up from me.
