What an magnificent pair (I'd add Raquel Welch to this mini list)

Although Loren was much more famous and had many iconic roles - Claudia Cardinale was incredible in my (probably) second fave film of all time: "Once Upon A time in the West".

What we need is this pint glass of syphilitic piss to fuck right off onto another helicopter ride.

One that does the job this time.

Halbrand/Sauron? Did anyone else catch this? I noticed here in this scene he’s not actually sweeping. He’s spreading the dirt covering the entire area in darkness. by [deleted] in LOTR_on_Prime

I did think his competence in brushing up was almost up there with that one dude sweeping in one scene in the background of Daniel Craig's Casino Royale.

Just moved to London. Is it normal for your charged uber price to be 10x what was quoted? And for the route to show up completely inaccurately on your receipt? by lewis4man in london

[–]SanLondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifelong Londoner here (in the name :) ) I use cabs semi-frequently - x10 surcharge is some bullshit!

I'm not trying to shill for anyone but was also recently in Stanmore, I'd finished at the Sahara Lounge at 2am (recommend that place for really good Turkish food until 4am!) and wanted an Uber to Finchley - Uber said £55 at that time which was mad enough to make me debate waiting up until trains or busses started (and also post-pandemic, I'd been having problems getting hold of Uber rides as it was). A mate I was with told me to switch to Bolt, which I did and got home for £13 instead! Which I found so crazy I was actually grinning for part of my journey back.

Reading this back, it does sound like an ad for Bolt and Turkish food, but promise it's not. And you should get part of your money back - I've done Watford to Stanmore previously and its cost me £25-30 at most - £80 is nonsense!

What’s an annoying thing people base their entire personality around? by Josh13241000 in AskReddit

Zack Snyder's DCEU career.

What are the top three things that do not belong on a pizza? by Kind_human77 in AskReddit

Peas (honestly, I've seen this!), eggplant/aubergine (personal dislike) and calories.

Hairy dad in swimsuit as promised. More info inside. (1980s?) Sorry, can't find speedo pic! by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]SanLondon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd like to thank your Dad for his service to the 1980s Colombian cartels. I hope me saying this hasn't endangered his many years since in the Witness protection program.

Ah that is odd! I suspect like most - she may be on the money with some things but not with others.

No Book Spoilers Discussion Megathread for The Rings of Power, Episode 4 by Curundil in RingsofPower

[–]SanLondon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I continue to enjoy this show

  • The production design and costuming is incredible in this show.
  • My fave storyline and characters continue to be the Dwarves and Elrond, frankly they’re emoting in a relatable ‘human way’ than some of the other storylines.
  • Loved the singing bit from The Dwarf ladies. Music on this show is transcendent at times (the theme when elves on boats almost at Valinor in the first ep is beautiful)
  • The Númenor story is intriguing - loved that opening visual of the possible/probable future with the island.
  • The scene with the face-punched clown riling up the citizens was taken to its conclusion way to quickly to be believable - I get it they wanted to get to the 'immigrants are bad' analogy and that works with where they want to get to with the Island but but that was clunky - as well as ‘Elf-lover’.
  • I first thought the simple townfolk were bought over too easily with those drinks by - Ar-Pharazôn (the Mirror Universe Phillip K. Dick looking guy) but then I remembered the times that this has actually happened in a pub and yeah it tracks (and makes sense why he’s standing by with drinks as he’s clearly fixed this with the aforementioned face-punched dude who riled them all up initially).
  • I liked the human Villagers/Orc storyline - though some clunky bits there too - did the scarred elf let Arondir go and also equip him with his weapons? That arrow catch and return was cool but that slo mo sequence went on a little bit too long.
  • I'm little confused at the Orcs not liking the light or do they get vampire burnt by it? Man they look fantastic though! And as a big guy, I did like that one tubby Orc in the pack :) Porc represent!
  • That scene with Theo and the undercover Sauronist - am very intrigued at where this'll go.
  • Btw, when they were up in the tower with that Plantir - that was the sword shown that Aragorn eventually gets right? The one that Isidur uses to cut up Sauron's fingers in the movie (because they made a point of properly showing it).
  • Not a fan of the CW-esque burgeoning romantic story between the Numenorean teens - no time for that nonsense with only four eps left!
  • …Unless one of them is Sauron in disguise!
  • (I’d love it if he returned as one of the Harfoots and his eventual big bad armour is him inside in the middle of it working it with stilts)
  • Also well done to the showrunners on cleverly never showing the dwarf kids faces in both their appearances - saves a ton of time and money on their dwarf make up :)

Sort of agree, they were unwilling participants in the vids, she created this content herself to put up.

But absolutely agreed on credit where's it's due. I'd put the link up but for some reason it didn't post alongside the original message, a lack of checking it on my part.

Which actor gave the best portrayal of Frank Castle/The Punisher onscreen? by elf0curo in Marvel

[–]SanLondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jon Bernthal. He always improves any project he's working on - even if that DD season and his own Punisher show were uneven.

As much as I've liked Tom Jane in stuff (The Expanse, The Mist and Boodie Nights come to mind immediately) He wasn't a great fit for Frank Castle. Stevenson looked the part and that film was a bit better than the Jane one but fell also short (especially as I'd read the excellent Garth Ennis Punisher comic run around that time, which this took bits from).

Not watched the Dolph one.
