Sick tunes @Fraggles Better keep that one in mind.

Myself, i have repeatedly been listening to Red Vox’s new album, it just speaks to me on a very personal and melancholic level. Kinda like Gorillaz does for me, it’s cool.

Finished This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay…it was really good. Even though it’s primarily about the UK’s NHS and what it’s like being a doctor within it, It’s an incredibly enjoyable and funny read, so much so that I’d recommend it to anyone irrespective of nationality.

Following that I’ve now decided to re-read Cityboy: Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile by Geraint Anderson. This is also a good book!

Watched Kingsmen 2 The Golden Circle. Went in with low expectations since I’d heard a lot of negativity surrounding it as a sequel, but in reality I enjoyed it just as much as the first (and far preferred the evil menace in this one). Shame about some of the casualties but I can see the series spawning another film.

I don’t know why it took me so long to watch this piece of fine arts, I love everything about it!

No it’s not that 2014 retarded movie, it’s INTERSTELLA5555!!! If you don’t know about, it’s the anime animation animated thing collection representation of the Discovery album of the fantastic duo Daft Punk. There’s no chitchat, just one hour long of good groovy music while the animation shows an interesting story about the abduction of an alien band.

Discovery is one of my favorite music albums and the animation by Leiji Matsumoto and Toei Animation is splendid. I’ve seen it before in the music clips, but watching in it’s full form is amazing, I highly recomend.

Here’s a treat:

P.S.: I’m joking about Interstellar, it’s a fine movie alright? Don’t piss on me.

There’s the one I’m talking about, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (2003) animation/music and the Interstellar (2014) sci-fi/drama. And I was making a joke about the names. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

The full Interstella 5555 is up on daily motion so I may well have to give it at least a cursory glance…I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of Daft Punk? :slight_smile:

Im right now watching doodle doods on game grumps, I never watched it and am now watching it :smiley: there are great images such as

but other than that I watch Dragon Ball Super every sunday :slight_smile: I’ve never looked forward to a series every week like this since I was young. last weeks was UPIC. (no spoilers for it anyone, I look up nothing, I even turn the show off after the credits so I don’t see the spoilers for next week, and nowadays I have to skip the beginning too now because they show the whole episode synopsis at the intro now too.)

@kylehayman361 It’s so good, I’ve watched when it was being published. I’m a particular fan of Chris’ drawings, he brings me the memories of Ren & Stimpy, they all have great talent nonetheless.

One day I might give DBS a chance, the first episodes let me down, but I’ve heard better things from it now.

Chris is always the best, a very funny boy.

yeah man, I’ve been collecting all the drawings I like, xD which is most of chris’s xD I love how he caricatures practically everything :smiley:

and my friend, do not judge a book by its low budget cover, Dragonball super got good episode 32 and I enjoyed everything before it too, the movies were done differently, battle of gods was close to exact but not exactly the same, and resurrection F got a few big changes compared to the movie. for example when freiza destroys the planet, its different in the show to how it is in the movie, more fleshed out. made me weep a little bit. the new arc has made me cry incessantly its so damn good now, the graphics just EXPLODED into greatness last episode. see example A the details are just supurb.

it’s january, so time to re-watch some “past” stuff, until the airing schedule gets back on track/complete in a couple of months

currently i jumped back to Warehouse 13,
-time for me to get all purple goo’ed good again :smile:

unsure what’s next, maybe Being Human one more time, unless i go completely off the deep end and disappear into Stargate SG-1 :joy:
-or something more crazy like Xena/Hercules, or who the heck knows at this point if it goes that far :crazy_face: :dizzy_face: :rofl:

Never finished Warehouse 13. Think I dropped out just after Brent Spiner shows up. Worth finishing?

well, depends :joy:
i love Warhouse 13, so i don’t think s4 is “bad” per se, tho the last episodes and ofc s5(which is only 6 episodes i think) begins to feel sorta rushed and perhaps a bit muddled(due to Syfy being all dicks about the show as i recall) but does manage to wrap up “ok’ish” “nicely”,
even if “some”(ie me) might have wished for different and more wondrous outcome
(tho as with any show on Syfy that’s ofc very unlikely to happen with their bs canceling practices and estimate in “quality sense”, fuckers :angry:)
might be a “taste” issue, but i preferred the “Brent spiner arch” over the final one, but might have been more about the “happenings”, to me, finale related and all that,
even if the Brent Spiner episodes did have some “cheap”/cliché elements, that might have taken better use of the man’s acting instead of remanding him to such small role/that plot
but like, it’s “only” 20’ish episodes s4 +6 in s5 to get ALL of warehouse 13, if you liked the fist 3s, i can’t see why not getting the rest :wink:

I liked the Brent Spiner arc as well. I just started binge watching Eureka to get my Felicia Day fix, and never went back.

“Charlie Bradbury” :sob:

if there is one thing Supernatural teaches me over and over again, it’s: Don’t get attached/like any characters, -'cos the moment you do; bad things will happen to them :cry:

Watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri today, one of my favourite films of the year, I laughed and cried, it’s a very compelling story with a lot of depth given to all the characters. When I watch TV or movies I’m often stitching at the same time but not for this movie, it had my attention from start to finish.

I loved ‘In Bruges’ by the same writer/director but was kinda meh on ‘Seven Psychopaths’ so I wasn’t too sure on this but knew it would be worth the chance and it comes in close second for me behind Bruges which I probably like better just for Colin Farrel and Brendan Gleeson.

I would only say that if swearing bothers you, Martin McDonagh films are not for you, though there is a lot less swearing in this than Bruges and it does tackle some serious themes which I will put behind a cut because a couple of them are a bit spoilerish. But I wholeheartedly recommend this film.

Spoilers

Rape murder and burning the body, though nothing graphic is shown it is talked about throughout the whole film.
Cancer
Suicide
General non political correctness, bit of racism, a character is said to have beat up black people in custody but nothing graphic is shown and black or african american is definitely not the word they use, Peter Dinklage is called a midget by pretty much everyone
Domestic Violence, spoken about once and then a scene where someone is grabbed by the throat and another person holds a knife to someone’s throat
Violence in a couple scenes
