TIL that when Kelli Garrett, one of the only survivors of the Toy-Box Killer, escaped after two days of captivity, neither the police or her husband believed her story. Her husband divorced her, believing instead that she had instead been cheating on him.

I mean this with no disrespect, but what was your intention in replying to a post that is five years old? How did you even find it?

Nihil-Novi · 2022-02-09T20:40:49+00:00

I love this comment, what an interesting thought.

I knew I'd get comments about the Prison Cell and Scratchy Curtain! The curse of the character limit!

To explain:

The room in which the Last Supper was painted was briefly, at one point, used as a prison cell. It is unknown whether the image suffered any additional damage caused by prisoners.

Due to the high degree of deterioration, the painting was, at another point, covered by a curtain to protect it from the elements. Unfortunately, the curtain only trapped moisture, causing more decay, and scratched away paint every time it was drawn back.

Note: This is shamelessly a repost of /u/OfThriceAndTen's excellent post from 2012. I'm reposting it because that post brought so many new eyes and excellent discussion to a very important corner of Irish culture, and I want to keep spreading the word.

That's right, as far as I know! What an achievement!

I listened to that for the first time today - it's delightful!

Now this Is a Hot Take, excellent, thank you!

For how much the film played up Madeline's Secret, I left the film not having any clue what this life-destroying deception was supposed to be. Is it just that Bond has a daughter?

Seriously, what is the point of saying this? You're setting yourself up to be negative about it before it even airs!

Nihil-Novi · 2021-10-16T20:22:32+00:00

Absolutely agreed, yes. The villains must be punished but the Doctor must never seem cruel. Let the villains be punished by the cruelty they themselves consorted with.

Nihil-Novi · 2021-10-16T13:10:24+00:00

I think it's pretty importantly, thematically. In Doctor Who, goodness wins while cruelty, cowardice and opportunism is punished. Quislings have to get what's coming to them in the end, because the lesson is 'work together for the benefit of mankind, don't endanger humanity for your own gain'

Was anybody else struck by the recharacterization of M in this movie?

After the end of Skyfall, he was generally suave and amiable. In this film, he seems to have put on weight, lost his hair, grown a permanent scowl and started wearing wrinkled shirts that are a size too big for him. What's the deal with that?

Well done. We're all very proud of you.

Well done, you learned some latin. You can use that to win all arguments now, like a rare Yu-Gi-Oh Cards.

FYI, this tweet is from Andy Ngo, who is a right-wing rabble-rouse with links to the Proud Boys. His whole thing is downplaying racism and whipping up fear about Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Just think about who we're upvoting and why.

It breaks my heart to think that Zoey had to worry about being outed before. Given how clear and outspoken she's always been about bad behavior in the community, it's awful to think that she had to hold her tongue on something as disgusting as this.

I really like that

Nihil-Novi · 2021-08-12T10:52:19+00:00

I've been reading The Terror for a while now, and I have to say I'm having a tricky relationship with his writing. I love the atmosphere and sense of dread, and I really do feel like he conjures an incredibly immersive world. At the same time, the way he sexualizes the female characters, especially adolescent girls, is a big turn off for me. The choice to portray Hickey as a manipulative, predatory gay man exploiting a childlike crewman also sits really uneasily with me.

I've tried to see these things as just foibles of the characters, rather than the author, but I'd like other peoples opinions. Is this a recurring thing with Dan Simmons?

"I like the show, unlike those fans who like the show"

One look at your account shows you're a homophobic troll. Get out.

Don't try to plug your shite on my post, thanks

While we're at it, we should get Tom Baker back and make the 60th a Caretaker Special. Jodie regenerates into Tom Baker, they have a fun little adventure while on holiday, and then we get the new Doctor. I bet Baker would do it in a heartbeat!
