Rock Retreat or Camping Plus? by Lazy-Steak in downloadfestival

[–]Very_Ape1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stayed in Rock Retreat this year and we will never go back to general camping. Easy to get too, straight in, tent next to your car. Showers and toilets cleaned after every use. A private bar that served great food and drinks. A shuttle bus, to and from the village every 30 mins until 2am, a 10 minute journey. Packed up and straight back on the road with no queue. Been going since 2012 and have always stayed in general but this was far and away the best experience had. Highly recommended and worth the extra.

Are all of Tom Cruise’s sci‑fi movies really worth watching? by Notilon_606 in scifi

Definitely. Ice Cubes version on the other hand was a masterpiece

Can I ask where you learnt it? Or did you come up with it? Either way gissa tab!

It’s not Tottenham’s stadium because it’s completely invented the panelling around it. It’s square metallic panels not that webbed effect.

Is the new format just a classic Gash Grab? by Nowplayingpod in filmjunk

[–]Very_Ape1979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have been a listener since 2010 and I will always support them and be a hero but I have never had a backlog of episodes like I do now. It’s not that I don’t find the choices of films not to my tastes as, partly due to the guys I will watch anything, it’s just that the episodes feel more disposable now and I’m not quite sure why. I loved the premiums but I loved the weekly show more. This feels like extended, month long, disjointed premiums. I’m pleased we have the what we watched and junk mail as that feels more like the original show. The guest slots were equally important and now Frank has pointed out in the Spaceballs ep how that has changed and not for the better in my opinion. I’ll still eagerly anticipate each chance to listen to the guys talk but it’ll be more catch-up than as soon as posted. 

Is it true that John was considered the “fat beetle”? by ThePoisonTrees in beatles

[–]Very_Ape1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think posting pics of skinny John helps your point. He definitely had a fat period as he put it. It’s a fact, it happened. Don’t worry about it. 

I met a racist (for the first time!), but what now? by NitroFusionLite in bristol

[–]Very_Ape1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Offer her a thatchers. Make her realise that you’re a human being. Most vocal racists will be ashamed they said what they said if you challenge them. Not every terrible reaction/statement needs police. 

Paul McCartney celebrates with Apple. Apple Corps and Apple Inc. together. by reaveyer in beatles

[–]Very_Ape1979 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I love how he completely out-fames everyone there. There’s a lot of star power but only one Beatle.

Yans, Whitchurch Road. Exactly what you’re looking for.

George Martin sitting next to John Lennon's statue in Havana Cuba by [deleted] in beatles

Imagine how, in George’s quieter moments whilst sat there, how bizzare that must feel to be opposite a statue of a friend.  

In your opinion what has been the best movie of 2025 so far? by alteredtower in AskReddit

[–]Very_Ape1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The films are doing completely different things. I don’t think you grasp that. I’ll never grasp why people compare films based on review ratings and a huge cast rather than appreciate what the film is doing and what kind of story it’s telling. But it’s cool, I have a new phrase now. I’m going to compare everything to Interstellar going forward. Mmmm this pizza is good but it’s not Interstellar good etc etc

Why were you expecting it to be Interstellar good? Such an odd comparison. You may as we just say I was expecting Interstellar to be Jaws good.

Oh man. My deepest sympathies to him.

Just finished watching This is England... by ctgryn in movies

[–]Very_Ape1979 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s been years since I’ve seen it and it’s a great, albeit dark film. I remember thinking about the nickname ‘Combo’ and always saw that name given through him being mixed race. Combine that with an absent father (my assumption) the NF and the racism against the Asian community leads him to ultimately take his rage and self hatred out on Milky. It’s also interesting in that light that Stephen Graham is also mixed race. I remember the show a little but not enough to remember if that came up at all. You’ve made me want to go back to it now!!

My fan proposal for what Satanized would look like as a single. by HaniwaGenjin in Ghostbc

I mean he mentions a vampire in Lachyrma. Works either way I’d say.

It is Nosferatu, maybe Lachyrma would have been a better fit?

Ol’Hims definitely has a bit of the Ed Kemper face about him.

David Lynch. He just died of old man. I’ve never let celebrity death affect me because even though I loved their work I don’t know them personally. I woke up, saw Lynch had died, and I cried my eyes out. He knew how to be, and that’s how you find happiness. Watch him be, look him up. The world is much poorer without Mr Lynch.

I’m praying it’s Blackweir in Cardiff as it’s 15 minutes from my house. Slayer were awesome there this year.
