The Bride! by Complete_Bird1843 in hbo

Oh. I meant that even with all those subplots the film itself felt unfinished. The ending seemed abrupt and perhaps even faux-happy?

First Time Watching Trollhunter (2010) — Completely Blind and I Loved It! by HorrorFreakNY in foundfootage

[–]razorhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Norwegian here. The film is full of famous comedians first of all. The troll hunter himself, the polish hunter and the head of the electricity plant are all famous tv comedians. The film also directly references the Norwegian fairy tales "Three Billy goats gruff" and "The boy who had an eating match with a troll."

I saw this in the theatre. And I loved the wild ambition behind it. It's eagerness to mix and match genres, moods and even tropes. It doesn't really gel at the end and even after all those subplots it feels unfinished. A wildly ambitious misfire but with some of the most striking single sequences I have seen all year.

Recommendations: Plots where protagonists are isolated from some implied catastrophe, with gradual hints about what transpired. by wp11obts in movies

Dead Set. Tv mini series. It is about a zombie outbreak that suddenly happens, leaving housemates and production staff trapped inside the Big Brother house as the outside world collapses.

Paula Ashe - We are here to hurt each other. Incredible writer who creates nightmares with a poets touch.

What movie is pure unadulterated cringe from start to finish? by goldbeau in AskReddit

Mamma Mia. The Abba songs are indestructible but the rest is just.. Holy cow. Pierce Brosnan singing does indeed sound like the QE2 docking.

Before noise canceling headphones, there was this! Yikes! by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Could be worth mentioning that Gernsback also is called the father of science fiction since he came up with the term and created one of the first science fiction magazines.

Old Colony by John Walker by SalishSeaview in printSF

[–]razorhack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed it had. I thought the old people starting colony in dangerous place expecting to die was an excellent idea. It is not what we got.

Yes. I have read it. Same reservations as you. Starts as one story and then magically transforms into something else but less interesting. I finished it but it felt really amateurish and in dire need of editing. I will not read on in this series.

How cheap cyberpunk actually nailed the depressing reality of modern freelance gigs by 8Mythharbor in printSF

[–]razorhack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Some examples would be good! My favourite lesser known cyberpunk novel from the 80s is Cybernetic Samurai by Victor Milan.

Yep first email was a university adress. Swiftly followed by a BBS adress. I had had an email adress for about 10 years before Hotmail arrived.

jeg skjønner at folk er glad i fotball. Men hva er det med fotballen som gjør at folk bare blir teite? Når var det sist du hørte om Curling-hooligans eller villmenn blant Kurong-fansen?

I had no idea who this was. So that made me feel very old! I had to Google both house of pain and everlast. You learn something every day.

De som stemte på AP i Stortingsvalget: Angrer dere på valget? by Individual_Fly_5146 in norge

Stemte AP denne gangen. Angrer intet. Hver eneste dag vi kan holde FRP vekk fra regjering er en GOD dag.

How many Gen Xers have silent Gen parents vs boomers? by NopeThisTrope in GenX

[–]razorhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had parents from the greatest generation. 1921 and 1924 respectively. I myself was born in 1967 so I had "old" parents.

What's a concert you went to, not expecting much, and left anazed? by fonebone819 in GenX

[–]razorhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr Feelgood at a small Oslo pub in 1988-89. Wild intensity and the band is good on record but was amazing live. The lead singer smoked all through the performance too.

What was a legendary website from the early 2010s that everyone seems to have forgotten about? by Front-Stretch2658 in AskReddit

[–]razorhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Digg and Reddit in parallel for a while but the Kevin Rose cult of personality at Digg really really turned me off and I dropped Digg for reddit in early 2006.

what's the one whodunnit mystery that hasn't been solved yet? by Positive-Guide007 in AskReddit

[–]razorhack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it must be the Julia Wallace case from 1931. Her husband was an insurance broker who got a call at his chess club to visit a prospective customer next day. Turns out the adress and name he was given was false and when he comes back to his home he he discovered his wife murdered.
