some obvious audio and FX glitches were they repaired the original film, but they weren’t too intrusive, and apparently the Blu Ray improved them further.

Yeah they are still dispensed with, but there is far more (I think at least half an hours worth) on the prison inmates and the guards who become much more interesting characters. And all the lovely panning shots that give it the feel of the first two movies.

Before you get too excited there are

no way!

Yeah but you’re going to like it coming out of an…. even more!

It’s so much better it will amaze you. Completely different story in several sections. The alien does not come out of a dog for example.

The repaired version restores Paul McGann’s major storyline amongst other things. And has some great atmospheric shots of the planet and life in the prison.

I can see someone watching a couple of episodes maybe then breaking out the box set for the real stuff.

it was a lot better than Alien 3 at least (although the repaired Alien 3 edit that later sloped out quietly on DVD is a revelation)

Who cares about this show? The people who grew up with HP still have the original, definitive films, and the younger audience has no incentive to invest in an old story, not with Rowling’s behaviour. Who is going to sit down and watch this?

after the worst of it passed Covid definately left me feeling stoned for a few days, low energy and the blurry eyesight

haven’t bothered with banknotes since they turned plastic and became much harder to fold and handle, really annoying when I have to use them now, don’t spend a lot of time looking at who is on them, odds are any old badger was less of a cnut than Churchill

I remember fondly the cafe in Krakow that played really extreme classical music, there was a piece like a string quartet falling over a cliff, and another cafe nearby played strange ambient cut and paste layers of baby noises and piano. I hate the whole low culture anxious fistle in UK public spaces

yes it’s not even a moral stand, it just sounds odd and unpleasant

ouch Pret is playing obviously AI music - “someone” called LJWarren, the terrible lyrics, oddly effortless voice, and weird rambling directionless piano playing all warning signs it’s not real, LJ himself seems to have a patchy internet profile with no real pics or backstory, viscerally horrible

I’ve had the potato thing a few times, but it was sort of good natured and it stopped when I asked for it stop. I know sometimes people want to feel they can relax and joke around, but if someone doesn’t find it funny, then it needs to stop.

This exact thing happened to me regularly when working in hospitality when I first moved to Leeds. That was about eight years ago, and I thought that then it would have been a thing of the past.

I wouldn’t normally amplify this garbage but there are plenty of “progressives” on here who have repeatedly denied to me this bollocks still goes on.

Sorry to see Irish people still having to put up with this sort of nonsense

Hmm I might wait for another lift

also, what punctuation *is* missing from that sentence?

For years we had a perfect system: spray the shower at your feet until you get the right temperature.

This worked for most people, in most hotels.

But then the evil Shower Lords fought back! One wrong move and you trigger the freezing Trap Shower secretly & inexplicably installed in the ceiling.

Temu?

The only possible response to this is for Dublin Zoo to open a permanent Drag House where gender non-conforming dancers cavort and fling their shit at the glass partition.

wow, are rules about tyres like a socialism?

mine do the same
