BioEnchanted posted:Someone else, the move happened 18 months after Gordon left because the show caused her business to boom so hard the old building couldn't take it. 12 months till the show aired, 6 months packed to the rafters until bad word of mouth from having to turn away customers, causing a climate of "Why bother going there we'll never get in" Just to clarify, even if you have a restaurant that’s full every night, is loved by a 3 Michelin starred chef and are featured on t.v, hubris can still gently caress you.

Inescapable Duck posted:Eh? I've never seen the movies. I'm talking about the games. (also not the comic book) Are you talking about the movies based on the games or something else? I’m saying the games are of varying quality, and everything with the Hitman brand that isn’t a game is poo poo. The books are poo poo, the movies are poo poo: no one should have any expectation of ‘greatness’ from a t.v series based on the 100% poo poo rate already established by the idiots in charge of this franchise.

I kind of like Joe Rogan for the exact reason above: if you watch a bunch of his recent stuff, you can actually see him learning to think a bit more critically, and he generally shuts up when someone who knows more than him is telling him stuff he doesn’t know. He’s never been funny on stage though.

Absolutely zero scenes of practicing medicine or surgeries. Featuring one scene where the head surgeons stand around looking at x rays for ten minutes and the only dialogue is the word ‘gently caress’.

Cops all smoked in the movies in the 80’s: in the 90’s all movie cops were trying to quit. Also, I worked in a hospice in the late 80’s as a porter, and virtually every person that worked there smoked, in reply to the guy amazed at smoking doctors.

Solice Kirsk posted:Eeesh. Unless they move on to some sort of anthology type thing I can't see how much more story they have to tell. I was fine with it, it fits a very narrow niche of 80s pop culture, the idea that you could run away to the big city and a gang of punks who live in a graffiti covered warehouse full of pinball machines and neon lights could help you realise who you truly were while moody synthwave plays in the background is something I’d have been in love with in 1984 when I was thirteen.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:Glancing at Wikipedia it was a case of them finding traces of cocaine and him voluntarily withdrawing his request for entry into the US (which is different from being denied entry), so I'm guessing it'll be okay. A friend of mine had a band. His manager booked them a bunch of venues in the US, but organised the tour under the wrong kind of visa. This was treated as the band trying to illegally enter the US, they got turned back, tour cancelled etc. My friend still isn’t allowed to enter the US, more than 20 years later. He works for an American guy with a huge amount of money and resources who assured him that making all this ancient history go away would be child’s play for his legal team. Wrong. That’s just a for a visa mix up.

Self checkouts are the greatest blessing to an unhappy world, if you’re me. Watching people loving around trying to pay for their groceries with a jar of pennies, people who’ve never seen food or bags before trying to put food in bags- all a thing of the past. Saves me the most enormous amount of time; though my father in law (retired boomer with plenty of cash and time) will happily wait in a queue for 15 minutes to buy a pack of gum because ‘I don’t see why I should do the store’s job for them’, like scanning the gum and waving a contactless card is somehow work.

Beachcomber posted:Where's the line between censoring the past rifftracks and Spielberg replacing the guns in ET with walkie talkies? The ET thing is almost the stupidest thing I ever heard of: he should have re-edited it to show more guns, rpg’s, landmines, drones, apc’s, full tac gear. The cute struggle as Eliot tries to stay with ET should have the kid being maced and tazed and subdued with baton rounds at a minimum. Just to keep it barely believable. Also editing your lovely past behaviour is the reason Brad Pitt’s character carves swastikas into nazi foreheads in Inglourious Basterds, so maybe don’t. If you need to preface all your material, past present and future with an apology, or explanation and trigger warnings do that, instead of revising everything to make it look like you’re a saint.
