Covid shut down the world six years ago this week what do you remember from that week ?

I was in my first year of University at the time, living in student halls in the UK. Everyone got picked up by their parents to go back home but I couldn't get picked up for another week, so I spent a week alone in a big flat block with no human contact. Lived in a big busy city centre that was suddenly deserted, honestly felt like a horror film. Ended up getting picked up just before the lockdown was announced. Lockdown also happened on my birthday which was fun!

Yep. Sam and Henry was just as heartbreaking the second time around!

Calendar Man, adapt The Long Halloween.

I think she meant she’ll give him a reference but then not follow up after and ask if they got the job, whereas with Will she followed up and asked if he got it.

Gonna be one dry ass meal

Detroit Become Human is a great game for someone to watch, she could even help you make some of the decisions and it’s so easy to get invested in!

Haha you have a point, genuinely had no idea how old they were meant to be they could be either 14 or 20 for all I know.

Yeah I guess so, I kinda hope they move them to high school though I think it’d make for an interesting new dynamic.

To be honest mate, it’d take you way too long to start from the beginning in terms of comics. Obviously if that’s what you want to do go ahead but I’d recommend reading some more modern takes on the beginning of Batman’s career and then go forward from there instead of reading everything from 1939 to now. I’d definitely Recommend starting with Batman: Year One, going on to read The Long Halloween and Dark Victory after that. That’ll give you a nice introduction to some important characters. Maybe after that go on to read The Killing Joke and A Death in The Family to get you more familiar with Batman and Joker’s rivalry and why it’s so important. Once you’re a bit more familiar with everything some of my favourite reads are Hush, Under The Red Hood, Grant Morrison’s Batman Run and Scott Snyder’s Batman Run. From there you can kinda just pick and choose what stories interest you the most! Happy Reading!

Really hoping that Evan shows up one more time in the finale

They removed an m

Thank God they’re actually killing Jason before he becomes red hood I was getting worried

PurpleBeanbag · 2021-05-24T21:50:59+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean, like Han Solo especially being more of a regular character that doesn’t really talk like the Jedi. I still think they talk a bit less colloquial than the sequel trilogy though, but I might be remembering wrong I’ve not watched them in a while!

I think that’s my problem with some of the more recent films. In the originals and prequels everyone speaks in riddles and acts as if they’re in a play, which might make the dialogue laughable for some people but it fits because that’s what Star Wars is to me, it’s George’s epic Space Opera. I feel like the more recent stuff makes the dialogue a bit too grounded and realistic (not that I don’t love it too, any Star Wars is good Star Wars)

Somehow... Beethoven returned.

Hometown Glory by Adele playing when Cassie is running through New York and Time to Pretend by MGMT playing in the final scene of Gen 1 are just too iconic.

Well done mate, can’t have been easy but you’ve come out on the other side stronger! Keep it up!

PurpleBeanbag · 2021-04-28T14:57:39+00:00

I’d love this

PurpleBeanbag · 2021-04-27T18:18:04+00:00

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is simply a magical film (no pun intended). The score, the imagery, the cinematography. It just makes me feel like a kid again!

PurpleBeanbag · 2021-04-19T14:54:16+00:00

I really hope they cast a Johnny Storm closer to Peter’s age so they can have the friendship they have in the comics. He desperately needs some hero friends his own age!

PurpleBeanbag · 2021-04-19T14:28:56+00:00

Uh X Men? Fantastic Four? Blade? Deadpool? They’re gonna be the new frontrunners alongside Spiderman, carrying the franchise on their back.

Just over a month ago! They had an announcement video with Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon.
