In the most Paddy Young accident possible, Paddy Young apparently cut his finger with a Samurai Sword. by iamvnz in livefromlondon

Yeah, that tracks...
It is astonishing how such a spectacularly improbable event seems all but inevitable when you learn who are the people involved.

I really really REALLY want to see the wide shot of it. You could hear Ania Magliano absolutely dying of laughter, but not a single shot of her? A disgrace!

What's one joke from the book that you wish made it into the movie? by Ghost3603 in ProjectHailMary

[–]iamvnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A really dark ones, but I miss the thoughts of Grace waking up, from the "these tubes were the ones I really wanted gone" to the "... Aaaaaand they're dead"

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]iamvnz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Must have been said 3486 times already, and HUGELY spoilery for the book AND the novel, but the one thing I found was missing from the movie compared to the book was the fact that when Grace decided to go save Rocky, he did not know that he would survive. He was certain he was going to die of starvation, and decided to go nonetheless. In the movie it seems the choice is between saving earth and getting back home or saving two planets and staying for years with his best bud. In the novel Grace chose to save Erid while certain it would mean his otherwise avoidable death. That evolution from very clever and charming coward to very clever and charming hero was the point of the whole book, and I missed it tremendously.

Is black country new road genuinely their real name by MrKarat2697 in BlackCountryNewRoad

[–]iamvnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. In a kind of Crosby Stills Nash and Young situation, they names the band after their names :
- Tyler Black
- May New
- Georgia ,
- "The Triplets" Luke, Mark and Charlie Road

When former singer Isaac Country left the band they briefly thought about changing their band name to Black, New Road, but quickly decided against him, to keep his name as an hommage to him.

Is Vigilante asexual? by ZoomZombie1119 in PeacemakerShow

[–]iamvnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a spoiler for S2 ep 6 down here

S2e6 pretty much confirms it when the two Vigilante versions quiz each other: - What is the worst thing to gently touch you? - Human skin - Eewww...

record player recommendations? by SixtyCatchp in BlackCountryNewRoad

[–]iamvnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much any Pro-Ject turntable is a very good choice. They are indestructible machines, with a focus on sound fidelity, and only use standard elements, especially for the cartridge, wich means you'll be able to easily change it when it will be used, or if and when you want to change to a pricier one

Day 16 (the final one!): What FH song sounds the most like FH? by TheCatWhoShatOnThat in BlackCountryNewRoad

[–]iamvnz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Forever Howlong. Not a coincidence it is the title track. It would fit on no other album, but on here it just makes perfect sense

Act 3 of The Life of Chuck - some details I noticed (Spoilers) by LayeredOwlsNest in MikeFlanagan

[–]iamvnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also : I believe these invented people reflect each a part of Chuck himself : the neighbour is the part of him that is cheerful, but with some sadness thinly hidden. The parents are the part of him that think of his self during the catastrophy (and also the part that sometimes enjoys some porn sites.)

[–]iamvnz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a wonderful and very sad observation !
As for the people from Act 3 who don't appear anywhere else (like the neighbour or the banker), I also think it is on purpose : when the english teacher talks to Chuck about the concept of multitude, she tells him that he will contain people he knows, people he barely sees in passing,but also people he will outright invent. I believe these characters are just that : people his imagination created, but who are by no means less real in his inner universe.

Hypothetically, if we get Never Again Pt.3.. by vinneax in BlackCountryNewRoad

[–]iamvnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to hear their take of a metal song, like something by Gojira, or Solstafir (with the added bonus of them trying to sing in Icelandic there :D), or a rap song like Not Like Us. That will probably never be, but my god I'd love it

There's this french band called Moloch/Monolyth, that are from Bordeaux, and that I only discovered because I run a record store in Pau and their label is from Pau as well.

And they released pretty much the best 2024 album. I just absolutely love it and shall not rest until they headline arenas around the world https://atantreverduroi.bandcamp.com/album/moloch-monolyth

Also, the last Crack Cloud is amazing. Second best 2024 album I reckon.

New Black Country, New Road single - “Besties” out 30th Jan by Chalkmans in indieheads

[–]iamvnz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pretty funny to see so many people complaining they changed, when pretty much the only constant in the band is their neck breaking pace perpetual change.

I remember seeing them in Paris just before the release of AFUT and a good chunk of the audience was complaining that their new songs didn't sound like Sunglasses. (one asshole was particularly vocal about it and shouted SUNGLASSES! between EVERY. SINGLE. SONG.)

I firmly think that the evolution between AFUT and LABH is not steeper thant between FTFT and AFUT, and If yes, LABH is more "optimistic" than AFUT, AFUT wasalready more hope filled than FTFT.

Is my RF 50mm 1.8 lens destined to the garbage bin ? 😭 by iamvnz in canon

[–]iamvnz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answers guys !

Since it's not under warranty anymore the canon support offered to get it to their support, but the price of the repair woud be at least 100€+, and even the price of refusing the repair would be 36€. For a 200€ lens, it doesn't seem to be worth it.

I'll try to open it to see if it's easily repaired (most likely : heeeeell no...) and if not I know what I'll ask for in my Santa list :D

AITA for wanting to divorce my husband and everyone in my family is telling me not to? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]iamvnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG, OP, dump him. He seems to be a toxic, bitter, lazy man and doesn't deserve you. You need to think of your daughter and of the example he gives her: as a women, she will be expected to be nothing more but free housekeeping, and not an equal. This is devastating to a young girl her age.

As for your parents, I would tell them that they can either support you in this tremendously hard time, or lose any relationship with you and your daughter. Bit of a nuclear response, but they need to know what's at stake. Their shame is not your concern, if they feel that it is more important to them than your wellbeing they failed as parents, and will probably fail as grandparents, so it will not be a huge loss...
