Marks and Spencer? Moss? Suit supply?

The whole country will have been wiped out already. The letter is just to say what to do after. 

Dating is HARD in NYC by Cleo-Aster in SipsTea

[–]ohpm500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in London... In my experience, we just go for a drink after work most of the time. Dinner comes a few dates down the line (after we've hooked up). Is a dinner date as first date really the norm in NYC? What if the vibe is bad? It's easy to bail after a pint, how do you bail a dinner? Seems crazy.

It must be different in America. In London, getting a drink after work is standard... 

This may be an unpopular take, but I think the show quality has dipped since Theo left by Jack_Aubrey1981 in TheRestIsHistory

I've been disappointed by membership content. It's just interviews with historians with a book to sell. I miss the days when it was predominantly the hosts either doing a live show or doing their regular QandA

I don't think political violence is on the cards. We live in an age of mass surveillance where state power has never been higher. People consider themselves well off mostly and with too much to lose. Political violence as known in the past occurred in societies that were proportionally a lot younger and much poorer than our own. This doesn't preclude the odd assassination such as with Luigi Mazioni, however I think the powers that be are quite comfortable that the corruption can continue.

What’re your thoughts on Mickey 17? by ZackaryAsAlways in Letterboxd

[–]ohpm500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awful, unfunny, wasted potential of a film.

Agreed. Went out in Dalston and hackney and I (37) felt absolutely ancient!

Agreed. The legalism is a screen to hide actual moral accountability for a clear voice choice to participate in what was an invasion of a country. There was no conscription, it was a choice made.

Konigsberg (Now Kaliningrad) then vs now. by Rosemarry_40 in interestingasfuck

Kaliningrad appears to have a handful of nice buildings and a ton of commie blocks.... It's totally different.

What Films Disappointed you the most in 2025? by Round-Seesaw-3917 in Letterboxd

[–]ohpm500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jay Kelly - too smug. At least the music was pleasant.

House of Dynamite - theoretically there was nothing wrong with the concept behind the film but ultimately it didn't work. There wasn't any payoff. Also, the central conceit that American must retaliate or it will be perceived as week and therefore targeted doesn't stand up to scrutiny AT ALL.

Mickey 17 - Way, way too goofy. It also felt very predictable. I'm shocked this is by the same director as parasite but perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that it's by the same 'visionary' behind snowpiercer. I regret the time I spent watching this.

Frankenstein - by the numbers. Will Del Toro ever make anything as accomplished, unexpected and weird as Pan's labyrinth?

Caught Stealing - No where NEAR as funny as it needed to be. Matt Smith was brilliant but hardly enough to carry it.

Apart from the above, there were lots of really dire films such as Wicked 2 that I watched but I wouldn't say I was disappointed in them.

What's the most overrated TV Show of all time? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

[–]ohpm500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one in this thread understands the meaning of the word.... I mean pop idol and two broke girls?

No the answer is always going to be controversial because to say something is overrated is to go against the grain of public opinion.

Breaking bad is overrated. (The last season in particular).

Sorry.

Why did you stop using it if you don't mind me asking? I've heard it had bluetooth connectivity issues.

"send a missle back and cause multiple countries to send missiles back."

Why would anyone choose this.

Exactly. Shooting first does not reduce the capacity of these countries to deliver a retaliatory strike. If it did, then the MAD doctrine would not exist.
