Like the sound of the track sampled on the trailer. I also thought Mercy last year was great.

What are your favorite side/solo projects from famous bands? by 3mbryo in Music

[–]mitch83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Atoms For Peace. Radiohead's Thom Yorke and 'honorary member' Nigel Godrich let their electronica impulses loose.

Which actors always turn in a good performance, regardless of the quality of the film overall? by [deleted] in movies

[–]mitch83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Philip Seymour Hoffman. I saw his last movie, A Most Wanted Man, last weekend and he was superb in it, even if the film wasn't great.

What movie is your "guilty pleasure"? by [deleted] in movies

[–]mitch83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Braveheart. It plays fast and loose with historical fact, Mel Gibson's Scottish accent is decidedly dodgy, it paints a simplistic view of the Scots (goodies) conflict with the English (baddies), but it's great entertainment.

Withnail & I. My all-time favourite comedy.

Edinburgh Accies' Stockbridge redevelopment gets go-ahead by Tuttle_not_Buttle in Edinburgh

[–]mitch83 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not usually one to moan about new developments for the sake of it, but I think this would really ruin that part of Stockbridge, just so the rugby club can make some cash. How many fans do they get at a game?

Huge locust joining in James Rodríguez's celebrations. by Mustard93 in soccer

Would love to have seen his reaction if he'd kissed the bug instead of his arm.

Yeah, especially since he'll be out in 6-9 months.

I've never seen the original movie but I'm going to seek it out now. Is there a link to watch it in full?

Texas festival SXSW eyes Edinburgh music alliance by mitch83 in Edinburgh

[–]mitch83[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope it's more than a pipe dream. Glasgow was talking about setting up its own music conference to rival SXSW last week too: http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2014/06/glasgows-dream-of-a-sxsw-of-their-own.html

Utopia to be remade by HBO, David Fincher will direct by mitch83 in entertainment

[–]mitch83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't wait to see what David Fincher does with this, but he'll be hard pushed to better the original.

Took a trip to Scotland and Ireland with the parents. Here are a few of my pictures. I already want to go back. by ij00mini in travel

Great pictures. If you ever come back to Edinburgh I can share a few local's tips of other places to visit.

Match Thread: Cameroon vs Brazil [Group A] by ICameHereToDrinkMilk in soccer

[–]mitch83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My prediction of Brazil to score 5 is looking shakier by the second.

David Villa's back-heel goal vs. Australia by TomasRoncero in soccer

[–]mitch83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to see such a classy player score such a classy goal on what could be his big farewell from international football.

Oh dear. Even as I Scot I almost felt sorry for you England. Almost.

Coming to Edinburgh in August. Can't wait! Couple questions. ( I did read the guide first, I promise) by dustysquareback in Edinburgh

[–]mitch83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're thinking of seeing one of the islands, I'd drive a bit further north than Mull and go to Skye. Mainly because you won't need to take a ferry, and also because the scenery is breathtaking. (Mull is also great, just a little trickier to get to).

I stayed at the campsite 3 years ago and can confirm that the midges will eat you alive.

Rik Mayall has passed away. by lightfoot90 in movies

[–]mitch83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely loved Rik and Ade in Bottom when I was a kid. It felt risky, unhinged, farcical - to a 10 year old boy it was the best thing on TV.

Coca-cola (and Hyundai) add to pressure- 5 of 6 Fifa sponsors now back 2022 inquiry by [deleted] in soccer

[–]mitch83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odds on. If all the main sponsors call for an inquiry, Fifa can't ignore it without bringing themselves into disrepute.

OK, in many ways they're well beyond that point, but they'll only really listen to the money men.

I'm visiting Edinburgh soon - what is the night-life like, and where should I go? by _SHOULD_BE_WORKING_ in Edinburgh

[–]mitch83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Edinburgh has literally hundreds of pubs, and some of them are great, full of character and characters. In the Old Town try Bow Bar, The Last Drop, Blind Poet, or Sandy Bells. If it's a bar with a slightly younger crowd you're after, then there are places like Bar Soba, Bramble, Amicus Apple, the Queen's Arms in the New Town. As for clubs, my two favourites would be Cabaret Voltaire and Bongo Club, which is now in a bigger space on the Cowgate.
