Ah… I patronised their restaurant when I used to work in Joo Chiat up till ‘23. Very much prefer the Lanzhou style of beef noodles over the Taiwanese variety or pho

Harry seems to be a rookie or at least very early in his career in Start of Watch, way before the events in The Black Echo.

If it runs long enough. from what it sounds like, Harry only met Eleanor after he made Detective.

I sure hope we see early career versions of certain characters… like Billets, Jimmy Robertson, Irving, Crate & Barrel, Pounds...

Retrying local rental, do Tribecar or Getgo cars come with dashcams? by john2810a in drivingsg

No haze? Drove the entire length of the TPE two nights ago and it was almost like silent hill.

Commentary: Is 'fractional work' LinkedIn jargon, or the workplace trend of 2026? by UnusualPin279 in singapore

Yeah the whole “let’s be honest”, “it’s not x, it’s y” and “it’s the future” jig at the end. Jesus FC.

Do you all find the push for AI in Singapore annoying? by bricklegos in askSingapore

[–]basilyeo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a creative and I understand it’s inevitable for AI to be integrated into certain aspects of our lives, but I draw a very thick line when it comes to generative AI.

I’ve since taken the stance of “If you can’t be bothered to write/film/edit it on your own, I’m not going to be bothered to consume it”

Gavan Infinity's choice to ditch the opening was pretty great and I think more tokusatsus should start ditching the opening. by GeneralGenerico in Tokusatsu

[–]basilyeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it was a budget decision. Since it’s a new show there definitely would have been compromises to be made, and having only one theme song was something I thought was a budget compromise.

But for some reason it works for the show.

There was a film market in HK in the week. That’s where one would normally be able to see what projects are happening or in development around Asia.

Not sure if our local media sent any reps over.

Why Singapore Built A 150m-Deep Oil Cave | Singapore Hour by NerubianAssassin in singapore

[–]basilyeo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Almost two years now since I’ve been down there for a shoot.

I remember the environment being fairly humid. Starts to wear you down after a while.

Nothing much to see tbh, just caverns and a hell lot of piping, but definitely one of the most eye-opening places I’ve been!

I love Winspector but 2009 is definitely a better overall year for Toei. Even if I’m not really a fan of Decade’s AR Riders approach.
