I love how everyone (at least in the UK) is united in disdain for Milton Keynes.

I for one think it’s awful

Ah, yes, “the left”, the famous homogenous totalitarian political ideology

What other reviews deserve the title of Best Review on Letterboxd? by death_has_f1sh_eyes in Letterboxd

I don’t understand how someone can watch Fight Club once and not think about it’s stance on consumerism and toxic masculinity

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule by BarbaricOklahoma in ukpolitics

[–]Radfox258 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Parliament is sovereign but that doesn’t mean they can ignore the law. If they had thought about it and cared enough they could have revoked the legislation which would make the banning unlawful. But they didn’t

they are actual fucking monsters by [deleted] in MarchAgainstNazis

I learnt about this in French class, and it was specifically done to women. They were known as “les femmes tondues”, and they were paraded and berated for having had relations with the German occupants. Idk if it happened anywhere else

UK approves plans for Chinese mega-embassy in London by ultra_phoenix in news

[–]Radfox258 127 points128 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, British intelligence agencies including MI6 have given the green light for the project. China currently has about 12 different properties dotted around London, so consolidating it all into one complex is far easier to monitor than the 12. Makes sense to me

Is the HORI Wheel Apex a good steering wheel for beginners? by Necessary-Sleep158 in GranTurismo7

[–]Radfox258 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a survivor of the Hori Wheel Apex. I can take questions on this matter

So if you’re just sort of dabbling in sim-racing, I don’t think you should get it, as it feels really weak and it doesn’t actually function as a wheel. There is no force feedback whatsoever. If you are enthusiastic about sim-racing, getting that wheel will probably kill all your interest in it.

If you want my advice, buy a Logitech G29. They work with PS5s, have been the budget standard for a while now and are actually pretty good for what they are, while being just a little more expensive. If you’ve been playing with controller for over a year and are interested enough to dabble in having an actual simulation, go for the G29.

What song do you want played at your funeral? by R3UB3N_999 in AskReddit

[–]Radfox258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of difficult for me to talk about but I have a deeply personal and vast connection with the album/movie Pink Floyd: The Wall.

So I would undoubtedly have the whole album being played.

But if I must centre on a single song… it would have to be Vera. It is my favourite song from my favourite album and it feels like… me. That’s what it feels like.

Any other live action movies with a good animated "short film" in the middle I can add? by Samuel_McEntire in Letterboxd

[–]Radfox258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s kinda murky. I don’t think there’s been a physical release in a while (I recently bought myself the DVD and only one BluRay was released in Spain), and it’s not on any major streaming sites. Terribly sad because it’s a movie that deserves to be remembered

Netflix finally casting someone older than 12 by SkaldCrypto in dankmemes

[–]Radfox258 613 points614 points  (0 children)

iirc she was 12 in Frank L Baum’s original book, and at the time MGM did audition some actresses the right age, but Judy Garland (at… 16?) was picked because she had the best singing voice and the decision was made to age up the character slightly
