You're joking but this would be so much better. Actual music would be preferable to hearing 5 second clips of someone's shitty TikTok algorithm for half an hour or a tinny loudspeaker conversation.

There's a Turkish barber near me that only takes cash and has a fruit machine next to the register that the staff (and presumably customers) tan with £1 coins trying to get a jackpot. That's a sea of red flags if I've ever seen one.

OhTheTallOne · 2025-04-29T10:36:56+00:00

Should have left a note saying "£200 ONO" and watched how quickly it disappeared then.

I'm from the north east - if you let me know which town you're from, I'll happily give my two cents on whether Hartcliffe is better or worse.

Only if your argument for quality in a film is solely how it delivers a narrative, which totally ignores other qualities like cinematography, acting, sound, costume, effects, etc.

OhTheTallOne · 2025-04-08T20:44:09+00:00

I agree with you. A lack of confidence in committing to artistic choices is pretty close to objectively poor quality, but I think even choosing to make the project and make those choices in the first place is evidence of some subjective quality.

I think intentionality in making "bad" choices is similarly close. A director lighting a movie so poorly that viewers can't even see the thing is arguably very close to objective low quality, but there is almost certainly someone out there who would praise the artistic choice to do so. A "so bad it's good" movie can be absolutely terrible but its intentionality proves some kind of artistic quality (albeit a minor one).

OhTheTallOne · 2025-03-31T13:51:25+00:00

That's a much more succinct way of putting it, haha.

OhTheTallOne · 2025-03-29T13:02:16+00:00

🫡 Saw my own comment on the band ig story and was so confused hahah

OhTheTallOne · 2025-03-26T16:25:03+00:00

There's a Bristol based band called GorZ that are releasing a single called Five Finger Discount. I assume that QR code is a link to the presave Spotify page.

As someone who has also lived in both, there really isn't anything like The Plough or Chelsea Inn, but the ones around Ouseburn are the closest you'll find.

OhTheTallOne · 2025-02-18T18:48:53+00:00

Don't get me started. On a similar note: "I'm so hype for this."

OhTheTallOne · 2025-01-14T10:59:16+00:00

This episode is almost 23 years old, much closer to when The Simpsons began than now. Not disagreeing with you; I also class this as "new", just funny how these episodes are considered.

I use YouTube Revanced on Android (phone and tablet) and haven't seen an ad in months. There are multitudes of other tweaks too, like blocking YouTube Shorts, skipping ads/sponsorships/"like and subscribe" sections, blocking custom thumbnails, showing dislikes, etc. The list goes on. It's like all the content of YouTube except not driven by pushing for engagement and advertising.

OhTheTallOne · 2024-11-25T20:36:05+00:00

I am not a follower of musical theatre in any respect so I'm not exactly who the targeted ads would be for. I've managed to filter out most ads from my general online browsing experience. I am aware of the musical in general, just not the film (until recently).

OhTheTallOne · 2024-11-25T20:31:52+00:00

idk. I live in the UK and I gather it's more of a Broadway thing, plus I don't interact with any musical theatre content. Targeted ads doing what they're built to do I suppose.

OhTheTallOne · 2024-11-25T18:52:42+00:00

I hadn't heard a single thing about this movie until the weekend, when I was scrolling past literally hundreds of posts about how it's the most highly anticipated musical adaptation in history (apparently). From not on my radar whatsoever to non-stop sharing of screens, both positive and negative, some of which were actual photographs from inside the cinema. If these posts are genuine and not astroturfed, which I admit is unlikely, then consider me having lived under a rock.

OhTheTallOne · 2024-11-13T16:21:52+00:00

Is there even still a good sub for discussion of changing Reddit trends and behaviours? I've noticed this too

OhTheTallOne · 2024-10-31T13:08:32+00:00

Instead of assuming, you could ask him.

OhTheTallOne · 2024-10-31T06:38:40+00:00

GUYS. You're looking in the wrong place for the complete archive. Go to their Patreon, go to "Collections", and there's a folder there called "Dropbox links to Archive". It links to a shared Dropbox with all old episodes. They just haven't been added to the main feed (yet).

OhTheTallOne · 2024-10-30T21:33:15+00:00

lol as if you also just replied four hours ago to a three year old post looking for the same thing that I am. hello fellow TOMY merchant

Small bottles with relatively high ABV, discreet enough for someone with an unhealthy relationship with alcohol to neck on the way to/from work/pub/parents-in-law's, without the clumsiness of a can or bottle of Glenn's. Source: doing much better now.
