… aside from the 2015 film which I thought was shit.

Mate, this is an appreciation thread (especially re the 2015 film - as per the thread title - yes?)

If you’re going to state you didn’t enjoy or rate it, then at lest say which aspects you found wanting etc, or parts you did enjoy / thought were ok. Just calling something ‘shit’ in a thread like this isn’t on, mate.

This isn’t The Cantina (where lighter moderation is in place). And you’re better than that.

^ PM sent mate.

Fully agree that the BBC should air it during (or at the start & end) of the major footy tournaments 😃

Here you go mate 😉

Happy 78th Birthday Patrick Stewart.

He’s still got it (okay, 2 years ago, but y’know…):-

No worries mate. I forgot to say I love the artwork for the poster too; a great choice, and also your ‘The Anti_Cringe Cut’ text that makes it clear and concise - without impinging on the art too.

Going to have to go watch RJ’s Breaking Bad episodes again now 😃

Nice approach to the scene, Bobson Dugnutt 😃

^ Given London property prices… worth about £2m that tent, mate. Estate agents will probably market it as a ‘large open-plan mobile property’ 😉

‘The roads to Moscow – a World Cup photo essay’…

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/13/the-roads-to-moscow-a-world-cup-photo-essay

A snippet… ‘All roads led to Moscow, with almost all air, rail and road travel between the cities easiest through the capital. This meant Moscow became a fan hub, packed not only with fans awaiting games in the city but those stopping over for a day or two between the football. It was the World Cup of Google Translate and of Tinder, with thousands of friendships and relationships springing up between locals and fans.’

I’m curious if they’ll make a Solo sequel

It’ll be intriguing to see if they continue an arc into the next standalone film - maybe a character or two from Solo popping up, a continuation of The Crimson Dawn or Nefys Nest stories etc - in let’s say… a Fett or Kenobi ‘A Star Wars Story’ film… a mini-trilogy of sorts?

A direct Solo sequel? I hope so - though seemingly not. Books and comics may be the way for any continuance of the characters & events from Solo.

Started re-watching some episodes from DS9 lately, thought this was rather apt…

Really was a quality series - discussing some topics ahead of it’s time (or what was to come - terrorism, freedom, religion, politics and the more negative aspects - and results - of war). Some superb guest and recurring actors really helped the show too - and some great layered and detailed writing too, of course.

I can’t stop thinking about her. I’m losing sleep, but I can’t do anything about it because she’s out of town for awhile. I guess I’ll just be an insomniac until I can let her know how I feel.

😃

Nice one - and hopefully the insomnia is over too!

We’re somewhat getting away from the thread topic - and now going over ground repeatedly covered in great depth in at least two other threads.

Let’s put the onus back on to ‘Is Star Wars catering to girls now?’.

Thank you all.

Same here - a shame as there are some intriguing things you have listed in your Change List - though that mocking of Rian Johnson didn’t help in your trailer, either. Feel free to disagree with him, state why, and make as much of an Edit you’d have preferred it to be with whatever footage there is etc - yet this repeated ‘no… no… no…’ mimic thing… it’s a ‘no…’ for me.

That said, there’ll no doubt be people who will like it. An you’ve obviously put some time and energy into it, whilst making some bold decisions - good luck.
 

After the timing issue of it missing the deadline for last season’s awards I’d have thought he would have received a nomination (and the show more nominations).

What about Twin Peaks? The 2018 Emmys’ bizarre snubs - The Guardian

There does look to be some quality on in there (and some I’ve haven’t seen or heard of).
 

I hope Elizabeth Moss wins for her performance in The Handmaid’s Tale - absorbing, layered and worth watching for that alone (it’s quality show overall too).
 

Quality idea for a thread, DC 😃

I think you’re inferring something different from what I posted.

I’m seeing you have pop at some of us mods across the site - I’d suggest you reconsider this - and stop.

If you have an issue with any of us then PM us and attempt to address it. Don’t continue this across the site - and take threads further off-topic - something of which (taking threads off-topic) you have been previously and repeatedly asked not to do, and later warned for.

What if I suspect I myself am turning into a spam bot?

If you like instrumental rock be sure to check out my band camp page, my newest album is up there.

See what I mean!?!?

Cracking - though a bit different than having to explain to the authorities, boss/IT dept or family etc - as to why you have visited child porn sites - or child prostitution sites.

Or as one earlier Russian language spam link this week… translated to a ‘infant sex site’.

Some of these links were also the same/similar spam urls previously titled ‘stationery & office supplies’ (albeit in Russian).

See what I mean?
 

While a few people are likely reading this - and just in case they haven’t seen the update to the Site Rules & Guidelines…

There has been an amendment to Guideline No.5:-

5. If you see any spam or spambot posts on the site please report/PM them to a Moderator asap (as you hopefully would if you saw anything else suspicious on here). Do NOT reply to, or quote, the spam or spambot - and do NOT click on any link they post.

 
Thank you.
