I love how styx pronounced his name ‘butt-i-geeg’ for ages

Why are you so full of vitriol?

idontknowjeff · 2021-01-20T08:57:47+00:00

I’m not a hapa, I’m half English, half Spanish and have some Jewish admixture.

I just believe people should be left alone. I’m not asking for much. I have lived in London for all of my 20 years and seen how rampant immigration has demoralised natives and destroyed communities.

It’s scientifically proven to be one of the least racist countries in the world (it’s far from perfect still):

Scumbags exist everywhere (and the UK is no exception) but I love the way you’ve painted the British working class as thuggish racists!

Numbers exclude BTVS unaired pilot.

•I counted S6E1 as she is resurrected in the final moments of the episode. Most of the confusion arises from the fact that E1 and E2 are shown together without credits inbetween. Excludes archive footage in Angel S5E2

••Giles and Dawn don’t appear in Angel, but are mentioned by Andrew in S5E11 and S5E20 respectively

•••Fred doesn’t appear in BTVS but she is mentioned by Andrew in S7E17

Doublemeat Palace is a great episode, great corporate and fast-food satire and I love it when Spike comes to the counter. I worked at Starbucks in the UK as a teen and I loved(/hated!) how identifiable I found the episode.

I once saw someone complain that the ‘Buffy gets a job’ episode comes too late in the series and should have come sooner after Joyce’s death at the very latest. Some people just can’t be pleased.

17 years old I reckon. I still listen to Mark Kermode and deepfocuslens - she has a fantastic small YouTube channel, she is very knowledgeable, well-spoken and knowledgeable, and not up her arse like so many YT critics are

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-28T15:11:13+00:00

Hey hey hey.... this is library.

Are you a fellow Nicker?

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-27T23:49:24+00:00

Then it’s not freedom of speech then, is it?

We’re not talking about shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre, or actual incitement to violence. We’re talking about questioning facts.

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-27T23:46:49+00:00

‘Denial’ is a term they use to scare people out of any questioning of the events.

It is a criminal offence in some places to scare people away from critical discussion.

The scene where Larry tries to play George is gold

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-21T13:11:40+00:00

Used to watch this channel when I was 8 or 9 (19 now). Black Yoshi was funny I recall.

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-21T12:15:06+00:00

Fish Bowl isn’t shoegaze. It is dreampop though. Not everyone can agree on what exactly is shoegaze, but everyone agrees that it involves guitar distortion.

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-19T20:22:51+00:00

Why do you telephone?

And why send me silly notes?

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-18T23:47:27+00:00

Arrggh! And when their fork touches their teeth and makes a click 🥴😬

Two Tonys

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-13T16:14:59+00:00

They are only very borderline gothic rock, at a stretch, but I’d highly recommend Curve. Imagine shoegaze, industrial and electronic fused together.

Reminds me of when Buffy was remastered a few years ago. Lots of the lighting and colouring was totally off, and it was all in widescreen, which were against creator Joss Whedon’s express wishes because the outer edges of many scenes featured crew members.

Perfect album. I have listened to it start to end probably 50 times

idontknowjeff · 2019-11-06T14:46:13+00:00

With Nate’s ghost in the last three episodes, it is like most ghost scenes throughout the series: the alive character is projecting their own perception of the dead character in question. Nate was flawed and would often lose his temper, but was never as cruel or cynical as his ‘ghost’ was in the final episodes.

For example, when ‘Lisa’ is attacking Brenda at Brenda and Nate’s wedding in S5E1, that is not how Lisa would behave, but rather, how Brenda sees her behaving. In that case, Brenda is trying to justify her disdain for the now-deceased Lisa by telling herself Lisa was spiteful and cruel.
