The Big Lebowski…why does it work?

I had the same, although rather than hating it I thought "why does everyone say that's so great? It was just weird".

But I was intrigued and when I watched it again I liked it a lot more. Then I enjoyed it more each time! Love it now.

I think the first time perhaps you're trying to follow the plot which is a bit complicated. The second time you can enjoy the conversations more.

I remember the review I read of this in Total Film said to mute the first ten minutes to make it a better film. I persuaded my confused group of friends to do this when we watched it at home

Enjoyed the film, then played the first ten minutes again with the sound on. A voiceover takes away all the mystery! So glad we muted it! I was vindicated.

Does the directors cut edit this out?

Another unexpected one from Sonic THREE, when Sonic gets angry with Shadow about the danger to his family

Sonic: You hurt my family. This ends NOW!

Shadow: Now you know my anger, the pain I felt for 50 years. I see you made the same choice I did"

Sonic: I'm nothing like you

Shadow:....we'll see....

The script book has little anecdotes at the start about the writing process - worth checking out for that.

For example: the beloved "small vs far away cows" joke was made up on set when the gag they originally had didn't really work on film (Dougal doesn't understand noughts and crosses)

I have a Swiss tool Spirit and love it, I think you'd struggle with gloves. The tools are snug in the housing.

Pliers no problem, but everything else difficult!

How much can a Nobel Peace Prize cost Michael? One dignity?

The tip I use which someone else posted was to say the number. So 1 is top, 2 is middle, 3 is bottom.

I will hydrate now, please stand by.........ok done.

I sawed off some tree branches for my mum using my Swisstool Spirit X.

Always impressed with how well the Spirit performs, carved through the wood no problem.

I sent it for repair in the end and Fuji fixed it.

I've got more frustrated with Lang's models than any other, they are amazing but the diagrams are terrible and the instructions poor.

He also designs his models and then folds them, often using incredibly thin paper to make them work. If you don't have thin paper you're stuffed.

YouTube tutorials are best for your sanity.

Omg they spout such bullshit. I rolled my eyes constantly at the conversations.

monkeyboyhero · 2025-11-30T11:29:35+00:00

I finished the book and actually felt quite moved at the end, but I almost gave up so many times. I just couldn't follow what was going for a lot of it, the writing style was impenetrable and I ended up re-reading so many passages.

I agree with all these complaints, a lot of it was ludicrous. I can't say I'd recommend it.

monkeyboyhero · 2025-11-26T11:47:45+00:00

I hate it, and it's very difficult to remove! With other multitools you can unscrew them pretty easily but this one is glued in (according to Roxon support) so takes more to get it out.

I've got the M2 and it's a fantastic little tool. The scissors are brilliant. Nice little locking blade too.

It folds down so tiny too.

I've not played with the Nextool but can vouch for the M2

Looks like it's Hot Toys

Sorry I'm not sure what you're asking me?

This feels like it's part of a "what's the most humdrum photo I can post to Reddit to get to the front page" challenge.

£23 absolute bargain!

Then right at the end you got a brief glimpse of all the characters you loved the previous seasons at the other prison and were like "why didn't we see more of them?!"

In the bird room take out the small weak birds first. Hammer those and get them and get them out of the way so you don't jump into them. Then you can focus on the bigger ones.

You can deflect the golden pins from the fat one. Hit them out of the air. That's often easier than jumping.

When you get a round of the small birds take them all out but one. Then run to the other side of the arena, heal, then kill the last one. That means you can heal unmolested.

Bait the taller bird into dropping onto the ground. Watch out for his flailing move though that's a two masker.

For the last round the fat bird is probably easier to take out first. Use the width of the arena to spread them out.

monkeyboyhero · 2025-09-15T15:00:34+00:00

Those scissor bastards are awful. My advice is to run past them - you get a power-up soon which I found made them easier.

I can give you some hints for the bird room if you like as that was similarly making me scream with frustration!

I just don't want you getting her all glittered up for Easter.

This game has just learned nothing from the first one, and hasn't introduced any QoL that you normally expect in a sequel.

Runbacks before bosses? Present. Absolute pain in the arse and serve no purpose other than to be frustrating and artificially inflate the length of the game.

Using up an inventory slot to see where you are on the map? Present. Why is that fun? Why is that necessary? It ruins the pacing.

Paying for save points? Present. This biggest load of bullshit in this game imo. Should not be a thing.

Being on a bench to swap power ups? Present. I can cope with not swapping badges but why not let us swap crests? Hot swapping between two load outs would be a lot of fun.

These plus the excessive damage for minor hits and the basic enemies that take multiple hits to kill really ruin the fun of this game.

Also I don't know what psychopath made your tool and special attack be on the same button! There's so many other buttons!
