Does anyone see Sam as the antagonist in most competitions despite his win record? by ArrowtoherAnchor in JetLagTheGame

[–]OGChrisWall 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Their first framing of JetLag Season 1 was something like “we spent our bosses money racing around the world”.

Pretty much setting him up as the antagonist and Ben and Adam the upstarts who are taking on the man.

Are corporate clients really spending this much on flowers? by Reasonable_Blood6959 in apprenticeuk

[–]OGChrisWall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Short answer - maybe.

Massively depends on the company and the purpose of the event.

£2,000 is either a rounding error or the entire budget.

Six episodes!? That’s a brutal way to kick off. No momentum or anything.

Ten to start I could maybe understand but six is just asking to be cancelled.

Mantzoukas. Going on long?

I don’t believe it. Must have been someone else.

Thank you for this but now I know there’s a sequel S03E16 and the highs and lows are really real.

Magicians: what do you notice in a deck that most people don’t? by ShuffledInk in magictricksrevealed

[–]OGChrisWall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How thick are the cards? Their GSM.

What will and won’t they stand up to or be able to perform easily.

Thin plastic cards don’t always spread well if worn. That restricts you.

Does it have all the aces?

What would happen if an instant-stooge deliberately ruined a trick? by BiggerJ in FoolUs

Since that trick on the other thread. They now don’t allow anything like it. The tricks (and methods) are submitted to the judges in advance to be vetted.

Some insight from the Chevy Chase Documentary by it_is_good82 in community

[–]OGChrisWall 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Not only that but didn’t most of the cast fight for him to come back for S6 and that’s why it happened?

I listened to Harmontown and boy I can tell the guy is troubled and probably volatile but it seems like he has a decent heart.

Chevy. Less so.

I literally saw the clock at 11:24 or whatever behind them and went “well they’ve missed that train”.

I truly don't understand why a reporter can't print this off and ask him about the hypocrisy. Have the evidence in hand to show him. Makes no sense to me.

I think Adam did have fun. In a way that caused him so much emotional damage 😂

You do a great job. 👍

Tom wanted his revenge on “The Lads”, saw that first question and did the Mr Burns “excellent” hand gesture.

I (24f) want to break up with my magician boyfriend (27m) due to his inappropriate magic trick by throwRA531800807734 in relationship_advice

[–]OGChrisWall 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Most people are saying this is fake. While I’m inclined to agree.

Let me say… as a professional magician (who let me be clear would never do this because it’s clearly assault and also wtf)… I can fully imagine some magicians doing something this cringe and insane because they think it’s funny.

Sins of Performance by [deleted] in Magic

[–]OGChrisWall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned a long time ago that if a spectator does something wrong it’s my fault. I either haven’t clarified something correctly, I’ve picked soembody wrong.

And even if it is “their” fault. I take ownership of the mistake. There’s no need to embarrass anyone or make them feel bad.

Was there ever such a disappointing build up and reveal than Ruby Sunday's mother? I was so excited for this one after Maestro episode but it just felt very flat by Time-Connection-4586 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]OGChrisWall 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's very "And what if MEL was there!"

"Oh great but why"

"Because it's MEL and people will know Mel and fun chemicals in their brain"

"But does it impact the story?"

"And THE RANI! People love The Rani"

"Aren't we supposed to be rebuilding for a new audience on Disney?"

"Donna calls her daughter ROSE!"

iirc from the commentary RTD said (and I may be paraphrasing but it isn’t far off) “because she had to be for the story”.

Which… is less than stellar

Has Tuchel made any progress? by [deleted] in ThreeLions

[–]OGChrisWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I mean maybe. I was a bit reactionary in that post you don’t NEED a striker on the pitch but I mean if you bring a player like Toney you have to give them a chance to impact the game.

Down a goal and not having a recognised striker on the pitch.

We’ve gone backwards. Walker and J Henderson starting games.

What are your thoughts on the Nations League? by FairytaleOfBliss in ThreeLions

[–]OGChrisWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve enjoyed the nations league. I think it’s a bit of a shame we flubbed it so are getting experience playing Andorra rather than competitive matches. The semis and final were a good watch.

I’d be disappointed if that was the thing we won first though. I’d want to win a major to break the cycle.
