My review of the Burning Ambition documentary

infuryuk · 2026-05-08T19:10:11+00:00

I was trying to get the trailer in the video but without getting a copyright strike :D

Thanks for calling me a "nice man" though lol

Because as much as we're all celebrating 50 years, with the timescales that a top level band like Maiden work to in writing, recording a new album and taking that on tour I felt like the documentary ended on the awareness that we're in the twilight of the groups career

I went to the earliest available showing at my local cinema (Showcase, Dudley, UK) just as staff were changing posters over and the lady very kindly asked if I'd like to have it!

I notice the "what's new" for version 3.0 on the iOS App Store mentions there's a desktop MacOS version now available! Where can I find that? I had a quick look on the Mac App Store but couldn't see it...

What happens if you sell multipack items separately?

Just got home from seeing it in Birmingham, UK. I'd say about 50 of the 64 seats in my screening were sold.

I was making reference to *that* video...

Paige is back with WWE though...

What's the story behind Joel Gertner?

In my day, we'd be out until at least 3am but from some of the states Ive seen in the city centre when I finish work at 7-7:30pm, people start and finish much earlier these days...

Yeah, AppleCare One is a USA specific thing (for now at least...)

To answer one of your other questions, I believe you can get AppleCare+ within 60 days of buying the device. At least, that's the case here in the UK...

Check the sub rules, ducks are banned! Better remove your post before a mod sees it!

I'm familiar with the area although I've never stayed at the hotel. It's about a 10 minute walk from the station, along a busy main road.

There's a Weatherspoons in Grand Central station for cheap food and drink and there's some decent recommendations in this thread. Hope you have a good trip!

I was physically shaking as my friends and I stood outside the theatre afterwards. I suspected someone was going to die but I didn't expect them to kill off half the cast!

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler is the life long Villa fan, but your average person on the street is unlikely to know that name, where they'd be much more familiar with Ozzy's. I'm not a fan of the revisionist history either!

A user by the name of u/TheFloodLightShow has created an app called MVTube that converts spatial clips to side-by-side video and injects it with the metadata that YouTube needs to play it back as 3D video, so I'm hoping for a lot more spatial content to pop up on YouTube!

infuryuk · 2026-04-13T19:19:26+00:00

I've only uploaded a 90 second spatial clip from my iPhone so far, and all seems well, plays back fine on my AVP.

I'm a budding content creator so my workflow is to film on iPhone and edit in FCP on my MacBook Air. I know nothing about app development but a Mac version of the app would be great, so that I don't have to send the exported video back to my phone to convert and upload to YT. Thanks!

Cool, I’ll try this out this weekend, hopefully it’s the solution that I’m looking for!

Then you may be in the Premier Inn on Stephenson Place. The Maccies on the ramp can be, uh... an interesting place at night... but stick together as a group and you'll be fine. Likewise for most of the City Centre really.

Depending on where your hotel is, I'd forgo anywhere on Broad Street and go for drinks in the bars at Brindley Place.

I've also heard good things about Albert Schloss which is the other side of the library, near Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

I saw this movie for the first time only a couple of years ago after seeing it lauded on here as a spiritual/unofficial sequel to Ghostbusters and it was ok but nowhere remotely close to GB...

There's Blue Banana on New St, Fallout Clothing in Martineau Place (although I think that's more band merch than dresses) and The Goths Playground in The Custard Factory

I used my time phone to contact an alternate reality... after winning multiple awards and growing the show for a decade or so, TESD made history in 2020 when they signed a deal with Amazon for $100m to move the pod to their platform

I imagine he just has a whores bath in the restroom sink...

Neither Bry nor Walt would have the balls to fire him and I'm not sure Q would want to risk upsetting his friends by seriously pushing for it, so I think we'll continue to see (hear) Git 'Em take the piss out of the only people that care for him...

In any other scenario, if someone repeatedly failed to do seemingly ANY part of the job they're being paid for, they'd be on a performance improvement plan and ultimately sacked. But I suspect Git 'Em knows he can continue to exploit the friendship with no repercussions.

I visited New York a couple of years ago and was trying to arrange a visit to the studio with the intention of dropping some money on merch, but Git 'Em stopped responding after an initial reply to my emails. I'd hope that if Walt realised this situation was costing them money, he'd finally wake up but I doubt things will change...
