  • What movie do you think is really underrated?

    Jump

  • That's fair enough. Everyone likes different things I guess. All I can say is that when I came out of the cinema having seen TLJ, I was utterly disappointed. When I came out of seeing TRoS, I was bouncing like a kid on Christmas, it made me happy.

    For some reason I just really enjoy it, whereas I hated TLJ and all the prequels. Others disagree, that's cool too :-)

    What is something society treats as normal that you secretly think is completely insane?

    Jump

  • Monarchy. Although I don't secretly think that.

  • Poor Calvin - such big feelings :-(

  • Who is your favorite muppet?

    Jump

  • Definitely Grover. I had a brilliant Grover book as a kid, called The Monster at the End of This Book, and I've always loved that blue rascal ever since 😁

  • The Rise of Skywalker - it's a big dumb action movie, with some silly plot holes, but I've never understood the degree to which people hate it (or profess to).

    I thought it was great fun, and such a return to form after Last Jedi. Yes, some of the lines make your eyes roll ("somehow Palpatine returned," in particular) but for me it recaptured the high energy, almost innocent, tone of the OT and TFA. No horribly out of place modern cynicism, no lightsaber tossing, no "can you hear me now" jokes.

    And I thought the scene with Kylo Ren and Han was genuinely excellent, a really satisfying emotional payoff.

  • How to react if a person calls you "degenerate"

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've never heard of it being used to target people with disabilities (although looking it up, I see it can be used that way, TIL) - I've only ever thought of it as a judgement on character/behaviour. Like I'd have no issue with anyone describing Trump as a degenerate, because he's a sick, twisted, vindictive, corrupt prick.

  • Laundromat. El Salvador.

  • Plus, if you were kneeling down, doing your laundry, a mat would be quite handy 👍

  • I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?

    Jump

  • I really must try and see more animé. Other than Akira, I think I've only seen Ghost in the Shell (once), a bit of Neon Genesis Evangelion (which I wasn't in the right head space to stick with for long), and a few Ghibli movies (Spirited Away, Totoro, and one other that I can't recall).

    Jump

  • Far too many to name, so here's the first 10 that come to mind:

    • Ghostbusters
    • Star Wars
    • Goodfellas
    • Aliens
    • Clue
    • Back to the Future
    • Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
    • Akira
    • His Girl Friday
    • Escape to Victory

  • Arrgh, what a cliffhanger! Damn you, Watterson!!

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • Ha - well, I think so, anyway. Personal taste of course. I might have loved the show you didn't, impossible to tell 😁

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • Oh wow - I'm kind of jealous, even if it was a bad show. I'd love to have seen them in their early days!

  • Ideally doused in salt and vinegar and consumed while walking along a seafront promenade.

  • How come planets move around in a circle for left to right or whatever? Why not a up and down circle like a target logo? I can explain further. thanks ahead of time.
