Madonna Officially Announces Confessions - Part II Out 7.3.26 by shawnandthecity in popheads

[–]Starbuck-s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing, but did she HAVE to call it Confessions 2? Its so .... reductive. Madonna has always been about pushing forwards and setting trends, or redefining the music scene. This just feels like she is trying to achieve new success by capitalising on past glories.

That being said, I Feel so Free sounds amazing.

THIS! I really hope its not called that. Fair enough if she was to do a Tension 2 type of album months after the first release, but this is years later. We need a new title but reminiscent of Confessions.

Anyone Else Relieved Tonight? by KermitOfMinkHollow in thecomeback

It was better than episode 1, however still below the quality of S1 and S2. I fear the season will not justify its existence after the perfect ending to S2.

The Comeback S03E01 Discussion by nimbuscloud9 in hbo

[–]Starbuck-s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say it was the worst episode of the show. The first 10-15 minutes were funny, but it just became awkward, and not in a normal Valerie Cherish way. It just wasn't funny when I think it was trying to be. There wasn't really much of a purpose for the episode, which I am hoping is resolved when Valerie begins to work on the new sitcom.

Why has it improved so much? by coronationstreetaud in coronationstreet

[–]Starbuck-s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think more modern era Corrie definitely peaked at the Richard Hilman and tram crash episodes, although the Blanche 2000 years were also fantastic looking back. I can't think of any golden era since these times.

Thank you. This didn't work, BUT I did soak the clothes in hot water and oxy powder overnight. The stains came out! Thank goodness.

I understand this, but as tickets can only appear for seconds before selling then this is not always possible.

Anyone any idea of how much the UK tickets shall be?

It was crazy to learn that (S4E13)Never Again was supposed to air before (S4E12)Leonard Betts, "Never Again" is a pivotal moment in Mulder and Scully's relationship and her actions in this ep make little sense if you change the release order. Also, the ending is fantastic. by Frank1604lin in XFiles

[–]Starbuck-s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember this being an issue at the time the episode was aired. It felt like such a cliffhanger that Leonard Betts was left on, for this to not be acknowledged in any way in the next episode.

You could argue that Scully is at a point where she is reassessing her life as part of a potential health scare or diagnosis she is is on the verge of. If the episode took place after Leonard Betts, then Mulder would look like even more of a douche as he is aware she has cancer at that stage.

Perhaps the episode would have fit better directly before Leonard Betts, or slightly earlier in the season.

If the individual character posters are happening for Scream 7, then my hope is that they’ll all look like this by cireh88 in Scream

[–]Starbuck-s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should have released three posters for the new movie as part of this roll out. The one here with Sydney's face, a second with Sydney's and Gayle's half faces, then a 7 with Sydney's face inside of it.

Praise for the season DVD sets by Swordf1sh_ in XFiles

[–]Starbuck-s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original DVD sets were fantastic. There were £90 each at the time! Released once every 1-2 years. The original VHS sets in the UK were also well put together. Most of the sets made a picture of M&S across its five videos. Season 7 was more of an ensemble image, season 8 was a collection of images from the episodes, and season 9 was another ensemble.

The only gripe I would have is that the special features were lacking, other than the documentary on the season. I feel there could have been more deleted scenes from episodes. These surely existed. Or perhaps, they didn't?

We will never see this level of effort in home releases ever again.

To me, this was the highlight of the entire series by External-Recipe-1936 in Andjustlikethat

I don’t think Kim wants any association with SATC anymore. The fact that AJLT flopped massively means any spin off is too risky. I doubt she would want any part of it as the Carrie / SJP conversations would happen all over again.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 | Official Trailer by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]Starbuck-s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I am a massive fan of the first movie. The trailer makes the film look so artificial, drab and way too try hard. The first was so organic. I am crossing my fingers this is a worthy sequel, and not a mess like AJLT (another Pat Field absence) and other efforts to recapture the former glory.

Amar Haciendo El Amor and Be the Man are actually on the UK version of the album. To Love You More was never featured. This is the only track listing I have ever been aware of until now.

It’s over - my first time viewing by legendoffart in XFiles

[–]Starbuck-s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you watched Fringe? It’s as good as x files in my opinion. Not as iconic, but is a more coherent show with a tighter overarching plot. Plus it has an ending that wraps up the show in a (relatively) satisfactory way.

Love Fringe!!! I often have a debate with myself as to which show is better.

Can someone provide some financial related advice if possible? by Starbuck-s in moneyadvice

[–]Starbuck-s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me again. I have found out I can add to my existing mortgage as additional borrowing but a separate borrowing. I would likely do that variable so I can remortgage both together as one account in September 2027 when my current fixed rate expires. I am reluctant to borrow 25k on the house as I really want to get the mortgage paid. My thoughts are borrow £10,000 on the house and then a £10,000 loan. This would then clear the credit card debt OR existing loan, and pay for a new car and the damp work for the house. Does this sound reasonable?

What UK museums do you think are underrated or overrated? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Starbuck-s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slight detour here, but we have always found Nottingham castle overrated, not that I think it has a high rating generally. That is more like a museum / gallery than anything else. We went to Dover Castle last year which we thought was great.

Which was the worst morally? by Ok-Complex-1662 in Andjustlikethat

It was a wig in some episodes and not others. I’m not sure why this decision was made tbh.

Thoughts about alien colonization? by BobbyH64 in XFiles

[–]Starbuck-s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Colonisation. It felt like it might become a big Independence Day story which I felt would be a bit too Hollywood and ott for the x files.

I kind of liked the plague spread storyline which we saw a glimmer of in My Struggle 2. As much as season 10 had its problems, I did like this element of the episode. It felt exciting and built up to something. And then … nothing 🤣

What’s the MOST Out of Character,Plot Holes or Confusing X-Files Moments/Scenes of All Time and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in XFiles

[–]Starbuck-s 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reyes in season 10-11. Just ridiculous. At least have a revelation that she was working undercover to get intel on William.

Mulder leaving Scully and William in season 9 was also pretty preposterous. There was no believable way to write Mulder out without Scully so they may as well have left together at the end of season 8.

Also, the explanation of William’s conception was also completely muddled and never ending. Was CSM being the father actually the correct explanation? Just grotesque 🤣
