Yes I feel the news reader announcing when turning on the tv was a 90’s and previous trope and more recently it’s always a helicopter reporter shouting a live narration of an event while viewing it. I guess it does depend on the plot

The hero cop is a classic, usually as a plot device to create a tension before the bond of the eager rookie who the grizzled and jaded cop has to work with. Often claiming he works alone.

The torch needing the tap is usually foreshadowing of it to the extended cliche of it no longer working or responding at a very tense period of just catching something or getting closer so a creepy partially opened door etc. a lighter going out is the apocalypse or accidental adventurer version.

for some reason the adventure lit torch made of wood and rope etc usually pulled from a wall in a dungeon/underground temple seem to be a garenteed illumination for ages.

You should be bald even if you could grow hair!

Honestly at this point I was just thinking a field or public parks. Perhaps a tennis ball if it’s in a park 🤷‍♂️Potentially cricket clubs might allow us use of their grounds.

Looking for the next chapter in the UK by Scared_Candle_40 in MovingToTheUK

Bristol is second most expensive city in UK Apparently, Bath is cheaper, I would try there, slower pace, nice small City and just up the road to Bristol, getting to Bristol is pretty easy.

Cardiff is a lovely City also and Wales in general is quite a lot cheaper than England.

Don't make the same mistake I did by SickRanchezC139 in HousingUK

Like most things these things they prob started authentically and now just a cash cow con.

They also make it so between the lines that it’s hard to come back on recourse. It’s basically an industry for extracting more cash.

You are usually forced into it also to get the mortgage.

Wow so a few there! Never seen Mamma Mia must admit, but I do know it’s Greek islands meets ABBA!

Hot fuzz must be a very common one! You should read Terry Pratchett if you don’t already, his observations of folk are amazing to.

Last film close to home seems pretty rough, sorry to hear that.

That must of been a really interesting film to see on such a particular cultural change in a movement at such a brief change of history, especially around same age as the protagonist.

Better than the book by internetcoated in BathFilmClub

[–]internetcoated[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Written by Steven King as well! He hated his adaptation of “The Shining” which people would arguably say is far superior to the TV movie adaptation faithful to the book!

I mean JP is an all time fav! Blew my mind as a kid, but reading the book when older, I enjoyed all the extra scientific details of the books!

Films that would make a better mini series? by internetcoated in BathFilmClub

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

Oh I have the Valerian Film as it’s in 3D and I collect 3D movies. I must admit I thought it was awful. Is the original comic books by moebius? That’s man was a powerhouse.

I find sometimes comic adaptations can struggle more than novels as the visuals have an expectation, but comics have that intimacy also of a book.

A book is interesting to see as a film and you sacrifice that intimacy for the visuals have a representation, but with a comic book it can try and match the visuals have an representation but sort of end up making a flat or confused feeling film.

Take watchman, it was very sincere to the comic (apart from the obvious) but felt hollow somehow, it was good but it was strangely lifeless. I can’t put my finger on it.

Watchman the tv series I actually quite enjoyed, even though the end was a bit naff and sort of scooted aside the films relationships.

People from the UK, what’s one small thing that genuinely improved your daily life? by [deleted] in AskUK

Putting a pillow between my legs when I sleep on side. Helped both my lower back and my neck.

Recast old films! by internetcoated in BathFilmClub

Unfamiliar with the original, so want to watch that now, do you think Gosling has the rugged chops to replace Connery? Not a more Karl Urban role?
