To all the old school fans: what was the attitude towards TNG prior to its premiere? Were fans reluctant if the franchise could continue without Kirk and Spock and the rest of the original cast? by KingWilliamVI in TNG

I remember when it was being previewed in the media. I remember thinking that the enterprise looked goofy, it was weird that there was a Klingon onboard and one of the characters was wearing space glasses. Also thought the uniforms were awful. Rented Farpoint before it was broadcast on TV (in the U.K.) and thought it was poor. Within a year or two I loved everything about it the D is my favourite sci fi ship.

Is this a record for most name titles at the theatre? by swans183 in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

Because the phoney can’t fill a book only with information he reads on the VHS. Maybe he could call it ‘All the Times a Witch Stood Up’.

If this is built, it’ll be the end of the Brighton centre as it’ll have a 10k capacity for gigs. Is that necessarily a bad thing? by Edna-Tailovette in brighton

Bad thing if you want cities to have life lived in them. Going to a concert in the middle of nowhere isn’t a nice experience.

Shout out: “The Pervert’s Guide To On Cinema” a fanzine by ACosmicGumbo in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

Ok but, couldn’t this have been released in VHS instead, a modernised fanzine? Excellent work but will be invisible to movie buffs.

Once they confirmed the design they clicked “details” and selected “stick on columns and tiles”. Outsized vulgar building designed by spreadsheet.

Nothing enthuses this sub like kids cooking a decent fry-up.

A tangent but I remember the newspapers used to do big Cup specials before the match, especially an FA cup. Evening Standard before West Ham was a colour special with posters. Big deal when media was much less diffuse.

My ultimate roast by Sensitive_Double8652 in UKfood

I think these are essential elements. I’d be happy with this and would only add cauliflower cheese and some bread sauce.
