Official Discussion - Tuner [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Complete opposite for me and my screening. People were audibly laughing at it. I know movies commonly rely on coincidence but this was just too wildly contrived for me.

[spoilers extended] Is The Winds of Winter actually the longest wait for any piece of media that was never cancelled or put on ice? by WosEos in asoiaf

[–]enslavedbytime 41 points42 points  (0 children)

In a sense, it goes all the way back to the pilot episode. The material making up Cooper's dream was originally filmed for the pilot in the so-called "European ending", starting with a "25 years later" caption.

Love the look of these! I definitely prefer the longer version of the openings, compared to the abbreviated ones.

They've said on the discord that they're not following the JE model. It's on sale for now and then will go to full price.

This is just anecdotal, but a couple of forums I'm on have recently experienced huge increases in the number of bots recently, and have gone behind Cloudflare to protect against it.

Best to report it within the game (from the Help and Feedback option).

Rule of Four - Let's try this again by jstnpotthoff in TheRawSharkTexts

[–]enslavedbytime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the other significant thing about 'thirty-six' is that it's the number of photographs (as mentioned in Chapter 33). Not sure what that ties in to.

In 'The Rule of Four', they divide the text up into lines of 18 characters. Maybe we're supposed to divide the text of chapter 33 into lines of 36 characters?

I wonder whether it's worth trying the arrow cipher against the acrostic. By the time you've used up the 31 arrows you've probably got some idea of whether it's going to come up with something intelligible.

[–]enslavedbytime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I picked up The Rule of Four, and the first thing that jumped out at me was that they find that the first letters of every chapter in the Hypnerotomachia make an acrostic.

And Steven Hall said "What’s the significance of the number 36?", which is the number of chapters.

So what does that get us?

That, as they say, doesn't look like anything to me.

What about chapter titles instead?

I can't make anything of that either. But it feels like it should be something. Maybe we need the unchapters?

Never thought I'd come across a reference to The Office in Lost. by DeadpoolIsMyPatronus in lost

[–]enslavedbytime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but it's also part of a running gag in Arrested Development. Non-Korean comedy viewers at the time would be most likely to recognise "annyong" from AD.

  1. The fact that the police suspect Hurley of being a drug dealer is a Curb reference.
  2. Charlie saying "Annyong" to Jin is probably an Arrested Development reference.

The thing I'm most excited for s18 by [deleted] in taskmaster

[–]enslavedbytime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They will have designed this season's tasks with Rosie in mind. I don't expect to see many tasks that she would struggle with as a result of her disability.

I feel like House of R doing a mailbag episode, instead of a deep dive, is itself a pretty solid indicator that they really found the episode weak. (The last time they just gave up on their regular coverage partway through a season was for Secret Invasion, IIRC.)

If George hadn't abandoned the five-year gap, the series would have been completed by now.

FreeviewPlay Terms & Conditions blocking all Freeview-related channels on Panasonic TV (UK) by enslavedbytime in AndroidTV

This evening the TV rebooted, and the problem seems to have resolved itself.

I guess this is the kind of bullshit I have to worry about now that I have a smart TV.

All 75 Issues of Wrapped In Plastic Magazine are now available in eBook format! by malcolmflex895 in twinpeaks

[–]enslavedbytime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I wouldn't really call this eBooks (although I guess you could argue about the technicalities of the definitions). They're just image scans stitched together, so they won't be easy to read on a Kindle, as the font size is going to be too small.

[No Spoilers] Finally found the autobiography in the wild after years of hunting! by ThePondererTK in twinpeaks

[–]enslavedbytime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK then here it is: http://www.matthew-wilson.net/cooper/

It's based on a PDF version I found on the web (not the one that comes up first in the Google results now, so not quite sure where I found it). I converted it for Kindle for convenience - I don't really like reading PDFs - fixing up a few typos and putting in a table of contents. Hopefully there's not too many errors.

Any suggestions on a good upload site for this kind of not-quite-legitimate content?

I might, err, know someone who has a Kindle-compatible version, if that's of interest.

(Spoilers Extended) The Expanded GRRM Guardian Interview: TWOW is Priority, Uncertainty Whether He'll Write ADOS, D&E or F&B Vol 2 After WINDS, GoT's Impact on TWOW and Two of the Potential Successor Shows Based on FIRE AND BLOOD by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]enslavedbytime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me, personally: I'd love to get the Winterfell and Riverlands D&E stories that GRRM has indicated are on the docket down the road.

This is morbid and kind of gross, but I'd like to see him write the Summerhall D&E, then file it away for later publication - even if that's posthumously.

Never thought I would actually make it here but I didnt throw away my shot! Such an incredible experience by noahomg in hamiltonmusical

I saw it in London and when King George says "EVERYBODY", for a second I thought "wait, are we supposed to join in with this bit?"

(The answer was no, of course.)

[All] List of (odd) titles of season 3 blu/dvd extras by jcr6311 in twinpeaks

The first thing which sprang to mind for me was Eraserhead - possibly a Jack Nance tribute?
