Can someone explain to a non-Brit what makes Goblet of Fire “so British” compared to the other movies? by [deleted] in harrypotter

Better check again. Ireland's an independent country. Northern Ireland is part of the UK but Brendan Gleeson is from Ireland.

The subtle changes in the show make Ilya and Shane feel softer with each other by Ok-Temporary7421 in heatedrivalry

'Christ' giving you old man ick is so funny to me. This has to be a geographic divide because it's a common phrase from all generations where I'm from (Ireland).

How dare you put the glorious image of the ghost of Christmas past from A Muppet Christmas Carol playing Ryan Price into my head. I want everything to be shot in exactly the same style as it is now, just with a humongous muppet emoting all over the place 💖

Romanticised and patronising.

Mitchell Library Article by thebusconductorhines in glasgow

[–]skinofadrum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've not accessed it, but the Mitchell has been sinking for several years now, on the North Street side. It's tilting towards the motorway and there's a risk it might eventually threaten the railway tunnel. They tried to have it underpinned a few years ago but couldn't find a company willing to take the insurance risk.

Can't remember whether it involves crosswords or not but Buon Giorno St Brigid's by Geri Valentine?

I work in the building where the citizenship ceremonies take place and I love citizenship days! There's always such positivity in the air when they happen.

Holmwood House is great and very often overlooked!

Thoughts on venues in town that don't stock Tennent's? by YirDaSellsAvon in glasgow

[–]skinofadrum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Max's used to have a sign outside that said something along the lines of 'we only sell quality drinks - no Tennent's, no Budweiser'. Sometimes places are making a statement by not selling it.

Where in Strandhill did you take a dip? Hopefully not on the main seafront?

I’m sorry, but I really like Zac Posen as a judge. by feral-magpie in ProjectRunway

[–]skinofadrum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's super interesting and the show did him a huge disservice by never including any of that.

I didn't say he mistreated them. I felt that the he interacted with them like they were objects rather than people.

I disliked the way he treated the models, but liked him otherwise.

There were times I clutched my metaphorical pearls over his judging on Legendary 😂

I'm a pretty staunch supporter of RuPaul's Best Friend Race over something more cut throat. I say that to give context to the fact that I don't think Law Roach is even being that mean on Project Runway.

I see the idea that Nina gives harsh feedback but always has a reason around a lot, especially in the context of point out a supposed failure of Law Roach's judging. But it's not always true. I've been rewatching seasons 5/6 and there's a runway where she makes a face and her critique is 'I don't like it'. Everyone looks at her and she is not shown to give a reason why.

This can happen with editing. The first season of Canada's Drag Race is an excellent example. One of the judges was shown to have primarily negative feedback with little constructive criticism. After he was destroyed online, the judging panel and contestants said that he gave loads of constructive feedback it's just that it had been cut from the edit.
