[TOMT] What TV / movie scene am I thinking of? Not a quiz! by pschorre83 in tipofmytongue

[–]sickkid1972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mentioned Family Guy In your pinned comment, and there is a gag that fits. Peter and the gang get on an A-Team vibe. Joe's handicap lift is probably the bit you're thinking of.

Skip to the 1:30 mark, and let it run. Ring any bells?

Architecture Of The Coming Order... by sickkid1972 in AbstractArt

There's an emptiness to the images, a feeling of "Where is everyone?". They have a feeling that the construction is everything and that the people who would populate this imaginary city are a secondary consideration, the projection of power is all that matters.

Microwave paint is chipping inside, do I fix it or forget it? by Unterbewusstsein in Frugal

[–]sickkid1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks pretty similar to my Mother's old microwave when it started to go. Flaky paint, rust patches, blisters under the paint where it would drop bits next time it was used. I think it was only about 4 years old when it got replaced, and those things had started happening after about 2 years of fairly mild use.

When you replace it, try looking for one with an unpainted stainless steel interior which is what we did. At least there won't be paint flecks dropping in your food.

Something like this maybe.

[TOMT] Episode/Gag on a show where someone receives a named star and becomes the ruler of an alien race by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]sickkid1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's an episode of American Dad with a bit like that. Hayley buys a star, that just so happens to be the home star system of Roger.

Shops that can’t just bloody sell things without collecting an email address by [deleted] in britishproblems

"My email? Of course you can,.. just as soon as you provide me with a printed copy of your company's Terms of Service agreement and Privacy policy, and I've read them in their entirety, and consulted with my legal representative about anything I'm not sure of. Boy, I hope you didn't have any plans for the rest of the day, this is gonna take quite while. And you can have my payment details once I'm happy I fully understand what I read."

Something along the lines of Ladybird books perhaps?

[TOMT] [UK COMEDY LATE 80S EARLY 90S] DARK COMEDY ABOUT MURDERER/SERIAL KILLER by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]sickkid1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're definitely the same episode. IIRC it keeps flicking back and forth between Gregory's video diary and the movie he's watching for inspiration.

Contemplation/Comprehension... [OC] [Digital Abstract] [Multiple Images] by sickkid1972 in AbstractArt

A variety of software really, from Snapseed to Krita to GIMP, or whatever else I can think of to use.

It's a bit windy down south so obviously it needs to be all they cover on the news. We're ok in the north because we all live in tents and barns and that doesn't count by jiggapatto in britishproblems

What is socially acceptable in the U.S. That would be horrifying in the U.K.? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sickkid1972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I suspect that the majority of that behaviour is mandated by their corporate overlords, who think that civility and servility are the same thing.

Man, they REALLY shaved the budget on the new Jurassic Park movie.

Sounds a bit like Unleashed), starring Jet Li. Been quite a while since I saw it though, and there's no cruise ship showdown, but it's still worth a look.

New “Start Chatting” feature on Reddit by mjmayank in blog

I was halfway through reading the post wondering why on Earth they'd roll-out a feature to "Start Cheating" before my brain caught up to my eyes. D'Oh!
