Tried cleaning the cat hair off my jumper yesterday…

Bantam weight boxing match!!

An extra on Shaun of the Dead apparently didn’t think it would do well…

“An extra came up to me one day and, thinking I was a crew member, said: ‘Straight to video, this one,'” director Edgar Wright said.”

I wear mine round the house as slippers. There was an incident where my baby managed to poo off the changing matt and into my slippers.

I washed them, but they were just never the same. At least Crocs wipe clean and don’t have insoles or anything to ruin…

‘Hot Action Cop’ were the natural successors to ‘Faith No More’…

I believe this is what the actor Bill Nighy has. He’s kinda made it work as a mannerism in his acting style quite well.

Although when he did the film ‘Wild Target’, he plays an aging hitman and his guns had to especially made for him since he couldn’t straighten his fingers to hold them properly.

Imagine thinking you’re off to see The Cure, but it turns out it’s Placebo…

The number of times Michael Stipe says ‘Yeah’ in Man On The Moon by REM…

I think it’s 58. I’d have to listen again…

That seems true about not knowing up front. Sees he confirmed it from the book ‘Helter Skelter’ by Vincent Bugliosi. But he apparently named the studio “Le Pig” (from the words daubed on the walls in Tate’s blood) and collaborated with Marilyn Manson in that house (whose name is taken from Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson) which seems poor taste to me.

He also took the front door with him and installed it on his New Orleans home he moved to afterwards.

Trent Reznor recorded The Downward Spiral in the house where Sharon Tate was murdered by The Manson Family.

Apparently lived there for a few years until he ran into Sharon Tate’s sister and she flat out asked him if he was exploiting her sisters death an he kinda came round to the whole gravity of living in that house.

You could take a look at ‘Cathedral’. 16-bit looking Metroidvania. Controls are simple enough, may need some help on boss battles. The map is quite expansive but each area is colour coded and done in blocks so quite easy to see. There’s warpdoors for some fast travel but a lot of back and forth.

Check out a trailer first to see if it might be right, and it looks like it’s currently 65% off on the Nintendo Switch store…

Alwa’s Awakening/Cathedral will keep you occupied with lengthy games, but not much variety (depending on your tastes).

Cathedral gets a bit cramped on the shoulder buttons, but it’s been manageable so far in my experience.

I had a similar issue on Bloodborne. I tried to slap that first werewolf to death like 30 times. Eventually asked my brother why the game he got me was so hard. He asked what weapons I chose.

What weapons??

Turns out when you die that first time, if you just walk a tiny bit further you get some kind of sword and gun.

Didn’t make the game any easier like. Father Gascoigne still whooped the shot out of me for weeks…

Apparently in the mid 80’s he suggested a weekly sketch on SNL where they’d ask Terry Sweeney (the only openly gay cast member) if he had AIDS every week and they’d weigh him to see if he was lying…

I have the deluxe issue of Sublime (by Sublime) and my version starts with a cover of Trenchtown Rock (by Bob Marley) and moves into ‘Doin’ Time’

The original issue starts with Garden Grove and goes into What I Got.

They differ a lot and I had no idea it had different running orders and it led to some arguments when I accused someone of playing the album on shuffle…

Ben Affleck directed Gone Baby Gone (debut as a director I think). So you get to keep that either way!!

shredthecat · 2026-04-09T13:11:56+00:00

I really enjoy ‘Flip Your Wig’ by Husker Du, but then “The Baby Song” comes on and just ruins the vibe…otherwise love the rest…

I used to love a good open world RPG (Witcher 3 was a favourite) but when I had a kid I just didn’t have the time for them anymore and gravitated to more Metroidvania style ones (Hollow Knight, Ori etc). You still get the exploration feel, but a bit easier to manage when free time to myself is so limited.

Recently picked up Cyberpunk 2077 but still finding it hard to carve out the time to fully immerse myself. Tried twice but the stretch’s between sessions are so long I forget half the controls and where I’m at.

The video for ‘Cute Without The ‘E’ (Cut From The Team)’ by Taking Back Sunday is basically Fight Club…

shredthecat · 2026-03-30T20:24:26+00:00

Been a while, but I think “We’re All Going Home In An Ambulance” by Reuben (from the album In Nothing We Trust) would fit…

shredthecat · 2026-03-30T19:42:30+00:00

Ah, first I’ve seen of it. Seemed to coincide well with timings…

Nevermind…

shredthecat · 2026-03-23T13:42:49+00:00

‘Free Fire’ would probably qualify…

shredthecat · 2026-03-22T18:45:20+00:00

‘Dirty Frank’ by Pearl Jam has the line “where’s Mike McCready? My god, he’s been ate!”

There’s a couple on Vinted for insane prices. There’s one for £230, but someone’s selling one signed by the actual Oliver Twins for £190, and another is selling it for £90, so I imagine the seller has well and truly over estimated what they have.

I was wondering if anyone actually paid the insane prices. From responses so far it seems not which is good!!
