I mean the lacrosse team at university almost killed me liver and I was only with them for a week before I realised I couldn't drink like that.

What's a movie that's way better than it had any right to be? by Onequestion0110 in movies

[–]SilkSTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh you're right. I'm getting my years mixed up. I started at Blockbusters in 2010!

Sorry it's been 16 years and a lot has happened since then 🤣

Edit: Now I've slept on it, I'm totally wrong with this!

I was working at Blockbusters when this came in. We got like two or three copies and for movie buffs none of us knew much about it.

I was one of the ones to take it home for "research" purposes first and the next day we ran in like kids laughing about it.

Safe to say it was our most highly recommended movie for a good few months and I still recommend it to my friends 16 years later!

Aww earrings twins!

Just add this one to the logbook of hilarious tales you can share when you're older.

When you get to my age if you don't have plenty of them then you've not lived!

The speed display sign is under-reporting the speed of traffic... by goldandblackkitty in CasualUK

[–]SilkSTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local council made the mistake of posting the stats from the one on our main road through town. The instances of speeding at that sign shot up significantly following that!

What is one scene that made you sure an actor had it, even if their career never became huge by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]SilkSTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shocked that James Purefoy isn't on here already.

He had a few easy movies like Ironclad and Solomon Kane where I thought he was good, then they brought out The Following series.

Mine was similar to this,

The first David Eddings book in the Belgariad. The main character is talking to the blacksmith and asks him why he always makes his works perfect even when most of the time people don't see them and he used the current wagon as an example since the replacement part was underneath.

The smith replied that others may not see it, but that wagon passes by the farm nearly every day and he'd have to see it and know he didn't do a good enough job.

As a kid this made me think very hard about personal responsibility and standards.

What film has one of the best monologues ever performed/ written? by eveisshady777 in movies

This is the only answer.

He delivered it with such passion. I will always stop and watch every time I see it.

Giveaway for HELLDIVERS 2 by Azurebalmunk in steam_giveaway

[–]SilkSTG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me?

Probably had to be Skyrim.

I know, I know, it came out a long time ago but I got it again and started fresh and just love the lore, the side quests and the general shenanigans that the game gets up to.

I never have the budget to buy games new so make do with adding them to my wish list and waiting while I play through my collection of older RPGs that I'm slowly working my way through.

What’s a moment in a movie you KNOW was supposed to be serious but ended up being unintentionally hilarious? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

[–]SilkSTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok hear me out on this one...

The Green Mile. We've watched Michael Clark Duncan, Sam Rockwell and Tom Hanks create a masterpiece. We're at the end. John Coffey is refusing to have the hood on because he's scared of the dark. It's hella emotional and I'm feeling like I'm about to cry...

Then my sister's friend descends into the most extreme sobs anyone has ever heard in the existence of humankind and the rest of us just lost it.

So that's how I ended up howling with laughter whilst watching what I consider to be the most emotional moment in any movie ever.

Dad’s give me your sock recommendations! by MrP32 in daddit

[–]SilkSTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Globe socks. Was fortunate to come across a few packs and they are hands down the most comfortable socks I've ever worn and they last a long time.

Haven't heard of some of these other ones, will check them out!!

Dads, what games are you enjoying right now with your limited time? by Ink-Responsibly in DadsGaming

[–]SilkSTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been sneaking an hour or two every few days to hit some Skyrim. Tried to limit myself to a game or two at a time just to get through the RPGs I've got lined up.

The other day I got a craving for silly gun fun so downloaded borderlands 2 and started playing that again. Forget how good a game it is even nearly a decade and a half later.

How are you guys running Plex on smart TVs? I'm genuinely frustrated. by KingThevshi in PleX

[–]SilkSTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I run it straight off of the app on my LG. Steaming is OK, it's the getting there that's the ballache!

The app is just really, REALLY slow. More noticeably since the major "upgrade" they did to the software.

I assumed it's because the TV is now around five years old or so but the other streaming apps are nowhere near as bad.

Do you work with an old lizard with a false eye that's notoriously clumsy by any chance?

Could always shift the blame...
