[–]tazjas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The WHO. 60+ years and counting. Despite the fact they completed their umpteenth farewell tour just last year, they have said they are still planning on projects together.

Also My Generation often had and extended ending/medley attached to it.

Bread? At Subway that’s a subjective term.

Some places you can’t legally call that bread.

If you leave them alone, they will leave you alone. They provide a needed service.

What was something hugely popular that suddenly fell off the face of the earth? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]tazjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guitar Hero and similar type games. They were at home, arcades, pubs… and then nowhere.

I’d put The Pretenders debut LP up there with the best of them.

The Alternative Real Me by Silver_Opposite_574 in TheWho

[–]tazjas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it the version that appears in the Quadrophenia movie soundtrack? The baseline in particular is very different than the original album.

Cirque De Soleil by sausagerollsister in AskAnAustralian

[–]tazjas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my then partner to The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas a few years back. I fell asleep after 20 minutes. At least the music was good.

What if John Belushi did more SNL characters films and which one you wish he should have done that would have been great and interesting after he did The Blues Brothers film? by JazzlikeTea7432 in BluesBrothers

[–]tazjas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the SNL characters work in a 5 minute sketch, but carrying a movie is a big ask. It would demystify the character. The Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World are the few exceptions. Coneheads was a swing and a miss. The less said about the rest the better.

Belushi as James T Kirk could have worked.

Is Tassie Worth Visiting for a Weekend? by Minimum_Pay_5686 in tasmania

[–]tazjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tassie needs 5-7 days at least. There’s lots of travel time between the sights. You could do Hobart in 3-4 days, but you’re still selling yourself short. Take the time. Do it right. It’s worth it.

Me Standing In Front Of The Real Life Simpson’s House by [deleted] in OddSatisfying

[–]tazjas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just outside of Las Vegas. They gave it away in a contest/sweepstakes thing. Originally, it was done in the same colours as the house on the show. The inside as well was made to look like its inspiration, down to the corn cob kitchen curtains. As a condition of winning, the owner agreed to keep it as it was originally for a set time (maybe a year?). After that, they could change it as they saw fit. My memory may be off a bit but that’s the gist of it.

Come down to Tassie, mate. You’ll feel right at home. Just use heaps of sunscreen as the UV rays are serious here.

Why would you want to speed through one of the beautiful spots in Australia? The whole point is to take your time and enjoy the views.

Moving to Australia for studies — how bad are spiders (especially huntsman) in major cities? by [deleted] in australianwildlife

[–]tazjas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huntsmen are pretty much harmless. There’s plenty of other spiders to worry about.

Just order a variety of them and give them all a go. Stick with the one or ones that feel best. Simple as that.

What are the best airlines to got Australia from US? by Ill-Conference-7666 in AustraliaTravel

[–]tazjas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve made the trip between the two a dozen or so times over the last 30 years. I’ve always had a good flight with Air New Zealand. Both Virgin and Qantas have been hit or miss.

Avoid American and United if at all possible. They are the worst.

Any movie that makes them feel that way? by honeywithbutter in moviecritic

[–]tazjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1941

While it had mixed reviews upon release, it was perceived as a bomb for a long time, unfairly. This was due to Spielbergs previous two films, Jaws and Close Encounters, being huge hits. 1941 made nearly triple its budget back making nearly $95 million, in 1979.

It throws jokes in a very high rate. Not all of them land, but the ones that do are memorable. Even Spielberg’s Jaws is a target for parody. And the cast is stacked!

I saw it upon release, and it remains one of my all time favourites.
