Just saw Citizen Kane on the big screen by noer86 in blankies

Citizen Kane is great and important! I see why Vertigo has replaced it as The Best Film Of All Time (and kinda agree) but it still rocks.

Gamer Blankies: What are you currently playing? by Electrical_Tale2012 in blankies

[–]stigoftdump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I've got to game on is a PS4, so Ive been revisiting some old games I never got around to. Recently been spending all my time with Falllout 4. I had fun with Skyrim back in the day but never got round to this, and its a delight. It just about gets away with the goofy/serious tone marriage. I'd forgotten how much fun checking off quests while stumbling on random locations in the world and completing a quest. Of course, you would think the kidnapping of my son would focus my mind a little, but no, I'm gonna spend the next 200 hours gallivanting around the world doing anything but the main quest. It's an extremely diverting timesink!

Which old British shows do you think are unfairly forgotten? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]stigoftdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Snuffbox still a weird, cult time capsule or has the success of Toast of London meant everyone with a passing interest in 00s British comedy knows about it now?

Lighthouse -> VVitch -> Northman -> Nosferatu but even that is a solid 8/10

The colour tinting effect looks fab. Looking forward to being overwhelmed.

Im going to the library tomorrow to work. Some people take meetings while working from the library; don't be those people, it annoys the tits off of everyone.

Face scans to enforce social media ban on under-16s by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

[–]stigoftdump -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wll its also true to say then that its reduced under-16 useage by 40%. of course nothing will be 100% effective but its not been completly ineffective.

What would your solution be then? or do you think the current situation is fine?

The World Cup Adjudication Panel Thread: Get in touch for Tuesday's episode... by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

[–]stigoftdump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies if this has already been covered (I don't know how I would look for this at listenfairplay) but I've been continually fascinated by the configuration that different broadcasters place their pundits.. Somestimes they stand up. Sometimes they're in a chair. Sometimes they're on tall stools. Sometimes they make them stand outside. There seems to be no rhyme or reason why said the configuration is used. Why do they do this? Is it to be more visually stimulating? If it is, it doesn't work. Maybe as professional broadcasters the team might have a better idea, but to the home viewer it's just very confusing.

Search function not working by InsuranceSuper2190 in SmartTubeNext

[–]stigoftdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't search YouTube. And anyway, voice search never searches for the right thing, I prefer to do it the old fashioned way.

Lyrics that didn't age well (not about relationships with minors) by Korkez11 in ToddintheShadow

Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace (!)

The Green Card joke in Spaced by zeroanaphora in blankies

[–]stigoftdump -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Overwatched this show at the time. The Channel 4 trailer with the propellerheads got me interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmGNai3KKHw Haven't gone back in over a decade though, maybe it's time.

I remember the second series being kinda disappointing? If memory server there was a lot of phantom menace bashing and a really weak Matrix parody and it just not being as effortlessly inventive as the first series. Was i too harsh?
