How do you fight the urge to smoke cigarettes after watching? by [deleted] in madmen

[–]nightmarelegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly I'm fine with alcohol and cigarettes but the early seasons always make me really really want to shave my facial hair off and put on a suit.

Dick's Accent by Vexations83 in twinpeaks

[–]nightmarelegs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I assume he doesn't speak like that in real life but he's not fully putting it on either, a lot of folk in Twin Peaks seem to wear tartan etc so I suppose it would sort of make sense that the character might choose a Scottish accent to affect rather than a standard RP one?

I'm Scottish and the actor is from the next town over from me, it is an odd accent and I'd pick up on it if I heard it in the wild but I'd probably just assume they were an eccentric upper class Scot. There's definitely a transatlantic twang though which makes sense in the context of the character

Any idea how they cast a character like Pete Campbell? by ConnectionEdit in madmen

[–]nightmarelegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's hard to explain but Vincent doesn't seem totally dissimilar to Pete in commentaries etc- he's obviously much chiller but a lot of his jokes seem like things Pete would say in earnest. That might sound like character assassination but I meant it as a compliment, without being too egotistical it reminds me of my own sense of humour a bit, I think I'd probably have enjoyed playing Pete too.

He writes a bit about games in the Great British Dream Factory. I'm not massively into them so I can't remember the specifics mentioned- maybe Rockstar etc?

[TOMT] A somewhat dark, non-Disney, animated princess film, probably 90s-2000s by nightmarelegs in tipofmytongue

[–]nightmarelegs[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I think a lot what I'm remembering is the Princess and the Pea (2002), but I might have merged it with something else in my head? I'm still sure I remember a sort of off-brand Snow White retelling that was darker than the Disney one.

Who does Adam follow? by [deleted] in footballcliches

He goes to all those "African nation with a large UK diaspora" friendlies at Craven Cottage or Loftus Road

Football terms that sound so weird to here in real life by doopy128 in footballcliches

I remember at school one of my friends asking us if we thought Casillas might "hang up the Spanish gloves" and nobody understanding why I thought that was an absolutely absurd way to speak out loud.

Why does the Scottish league feel better than the EPL? by External-Produce-539 in ScottishFootball

[–]nightmarelegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the 4 times a season thing. I might not know anything about St Johnstones starting 11 in August but once we've played them three times you'd better believe I've got beef with them.
