  1. Never got around to watching more than one episode of Andor, but I really liked it. But we've reached a point... actually, we reached that point a long time ago, where there is more trash Star Wars than good Star Wars. I am pretty excited about seeing the old films with my daughter once she's old enough. But first, Ghostbusters.
  2. If you like good tv-shows then you'll like The Sopranos. No but seriously, give it a shot. The first season might be a bit of a hurdle to get over since it hasn't aged *that* well, but it's the only show I've ever watched where each season is better than the last.
  3. Ok, turns out that lady is fucking nuts... who would have known?
  4. And I think the spoiler tags are missing too.
  5. The next time an American tourist asks me for directions I'll tell them to go to our local nude beach.
  6. Dumb Americans are now preparing themselves mentally for Florence Pugh’s breasts in Oppenheimer. https://x.com/fiimgal/status/1693281039827849236?s=46&t=ELfmjL5WsHH2jzEPZgFPfQ God damn, people. It’s a movie about two fucking nukes killing a LOT of people. Nudity isn’t that dangerous.
  7. Twitter… sorry, X embeds don’t work.
  8. I hear this Robert F. Kennedy Jr guy seems like a pretty good guy. You guys are just full of surprises.
  9. For me, a lot of times things will click into place if a track plays in a movie or tv show that I'm absolutely obsessed with. It's not that I can't think for myself and enjoy music without a visual context, but it helps hearing a tune in a context as it catches your attention in a completely diifferent way. It can be the fact that the music is married to specific pictures, it can be an emotion, it can dialogue etc. Had it not been for the The Sopranos (oh gawd, here he goes again about that dumb fucking show) I would never have fallen in love with The Tindersticks' "Running Wild [Extended Instrumental]" simply because I can't stand most of their music. Had I just shuffled through their music on Youtube or iTunes or what have you I never would have given their stuff a second chance. But because of one specific scene in The Sopranos I all of a sudden found myself with some Tindersticks tunes in my music library. The same happened when I watched Eastbound and Down. Tindersticks had another tune on that series and it worked perfectly with the pictures. The same goes when someone I respect and love immensely recommends me something. It automatically prompts me to listen to whatever they want me to listen to in a completely different light whereas had it been some random guy on the street I probably would dismis it after 5 seconds. So in other words, it's all about context and setting for me.
  10. https://x.com/mikedrucker/status/1692660810437292302?s=46&t=ELfmjL5WsHH2jzEPZgFPfQ LOL
  11. I tried reading up on it and after a couple of seconds my eyes kept moving in the direction of the letters but I wasn't taking any of it in - maybe because it's the most unimportant, uninteresting, and least dramatic thing ever. Jesus Christ.
  12. I just realized that the two best tv shows in the world feature horses in living rooms.
  13. What We Do in the Shadows is very hit and miss for me. This season has been okay-ish, but I have a really hard time with Nadja.
  14. Jesus Christ. Discussing sound and mixing with someone who knows a little about it. He knows just enough to not want to listen to any advice and not enough to be able to explain what he wants. Fuck.
  15. What's going on? Is someone butt hurt which in return makes someone else butthurt?
