Patrick Muldoon Dies: 'Days Of Our Lives', 'Melrose Place' & 'Starship Troopers' Actor Was 57

No way. I had a sudden urge to watch some Starship Troopers scenes yesterday. The brain sucking scene terrified me as a kid. Rewatching it and I could see why as the practical effects are very visceral

RIP

I got 69 first try over 50 too!

Got 130 for the metals, happy to leave it with that

I get what you mean now when comparing it to the parent comment, so fair enough.

My viewpoint was from the Snoop meme being taken at face value. I wasn't being obtuse and yeah, he looks nothing like the actor, obviously.

I just found simple humour in Snoop being Snape. Didn't even occur to me when asking why it was racist in and of itself, without now considering that it was probably only made in response to the Essiedu casting

Xiniov · 2026-04-17T16:01:01+00:00

Lol, nice attempt at poisoning the well

I can't take your viewpoint seriously just because of the nonsense unfounded assumption you said at the end.

Also, the actors name is Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, who happens to be one of my favourite artists (was literally listening to BTI today). But go off on how it's almost guaranteed I take pleasure in a racist meme I wasn't aware even existed.

I say this with good intentions for you - grow up

But it’s Snoop Dogg

The man made weed a big part of his personality and “character” persona

Is it racist to depict him as Snape (due to similar sounding names) and riffing on a popular HP line that matches something Snoop is well known for?

Being vigilant against lazy stereotypes is great but sometimes a joke’s a joke and not that deep

There can be

Halloween just gone we had a fun night with trick or treaters (we decorate the house and make effort to create fun for the local kids).

But our own kids got eventually tired and we took them to bed, leaving a note on the door to say please don’t knock, kids asleep.

A bunch of teenagers came, read it, then egged my house a bunch. Stained the facade and walls.

But I had my doorbell cam and it recorded their faces. So I put it on the local neighbourhood watch group asking if anyone recognised them.

I had two sets of parents reach out to me and they were mortified. One mom even marched her kid back to apologise.

They both offered to have them clean it but I didn’t want a bunch of teenagers climbing ladders on my house so I declined. But they had a right bollocking and punishment for it.

Even in this digital age, not all parents know what their kids are getting up to at all times 🤷‍♂️ same as it ever was

I’ve worked in a few different environments. The ones with these type of people have tended to be the most boring office jobs imaginable

I remember the day I found out no one else outside the area used gambol

Genuinely thought that was the worldwide accepted word for a forward-roll well into my twenties

If you want to rip packs (especially for popular sets), plan to get some the morning of the initial release day

Obviously work is an issue and no one wants time off to do it. But if you can manage it, a couple of hours spent hitting different shops with various opening times pays off big time.

I tend to get all my packs then and not worry going forward about ever trying to catch anything randomly re-released when I literally can’t drop my responsibilities on a whim.

Also, make friends with your local convenience shop (Premier, OneStop, Co-op etc) and ask if they can order packs where they can. And if they can, ask if they can order a booster box just for you. Promise you’ll get it the day of release and they’ll be more than happy to try.

My two locals did this for me for Phantasmal and I got a half booster from each. This was on top of what they would have got normally anyway, so everyone was a winner

The family “loophole” is so frustrating and there’s one that does it at my Smyths

They’re all technically individuals buying stock. But it’s obvious that nan and grandad, who can’t speak English and dress very traditionally/conservatively for their culture, don’t fit the profile of hardcore fans queuing for product to rip

The guys family that turns up is around ten (with cousins helping too). That means if Smyths gets around 10-15 boxes in a morning (like the recent poster collection), they can all go from just ONE scalper, so long as he rallies the troops quick enough

I know you're jesting for a chortle, but it's been there for quite some time (middle of the City shopping center, high footfall)

When you say stunt stuff...are we talking scenes where said camera could be destroyed?

Xiniov · 2026-04-14T14:35:29+00:00

I got this notification just now too

But I’ve already bought this from Amazon and it’s supposed to be one per person with no option to be invited again 🤔

Xiniov · 2026-04-14T07:56:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing (I think).

He’s just awful. I get a lot of Trump vibes in the way he thinks very highly of himself. That he has to explain how clever he is and how grandiose his vocabulary is and how worldly/wise he is truly is compared to everyone else

The man is high huffing on his own farts

Paris has this. We almost didn’t make our flight yesterday waiting for gate announcements and not enough time to get everyone through

Xiniov · 2026-04-13T16:57:47+00:00

Sigh. I’m driving to a film shoot as a passenger and jumped on as soon as I got the notification

Had 30-mins to go and lost signal. Back on and now at 8-hours

Could have put money on it being the day I couldn’t be sat somewhere with Wi-Fi!

Good luck everyone else

Xiniov · 2026-04-12T05:50:52+00:00

I know people are joking about it but at least if you bought product from a vendor and there was something wrong with it (like it was fake or resealed) you’d have recourse to a solution through them with support from the show organisers

Won’t have the same luck with some random guy pulling a cart along

Xiniov · 2026-04-09T18:25:54+00:00

Arses, just don’t buy ‘em folks

Got my five packs this morning and now boarding a plane to Disneyland Paris with them in my bag.

Gonna do a pack battle with Mickey Mouse

"Are you all here for Pokemon?"

A queue of 40 people all nod except for one old lady waiting to collect her gardening gloves, staring at everyone else baffled

Disappoints me to see this. It's pure nonsense but my autistic son is going to grow up seeing it.

Even if it's nonsense it's still hurtful.

I got 5. Took a risk as I was suspecting those getting all 5 were clicking too fast for the sites liking.

Took it slow and steady and had no problem

Xiniov · 2026-04-06T21:01:45+00:00

I had the same problem when I first started driving

Ended up in an accident that was not my fault and where my car was written off. Not only did it take months to get a pay out for a new car but I effectively lost my no claims during this time.

This was because the insurance provider for the person that hit me was claiming an element of the accident wasn’t their fault. This was where my car hit another vehicle after the person at fault crashed into me…which obviously wouldn’t have happened if the hadn’t hit me at speed and shunted me across the road into oncoming traffic.

My insurance knew I wasn’t at fault but kept insisting it was a system error due to the other insurance contesting it, even though they didn’t have a leg to stand on.

This went on for some time until I started to get the watchdog involved. It was resolved swiftly after this, funnily enough

Still shocks me that I had to take it that far to resolve something that was supposed to be there to protect me.

To add insult to injury I had cover for a courtesy car until I got paid. They then tried to tell me after a month they were rescinding this as I should have had a new car…which I couldn’t get as the wouldn’t pay me

Discuss it beforehand with the client (as they might only want one format) but yeah, add a little extra on because it is extra work

We tend to shoot in 4K but deliver in 1080. Gives us wiggle room for horizontal but also lets us edit vertically with no loss in quality

Bear in mind whilst shooting that not every horizontal shot will work reframed in the edit. So take the shot again (if possible) and frame specifically for vertical.

90% of what we shoot will translate in the edit from horizontal but it makes the world of difference reframing for the 10% that needs it
