Naïve Old Fart 9,638 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I meant that, living where I do, one has to get used to being - to quote Ming The Merciless - "satisfied with less". Personally, I don't mind it. There are no cinemas, no Starbucks, no Maccy D's or Burger King, no "fuck off" ASDA supermarkets, no nightclubs, no M&S, and no shopping malls. There are restaurants, but only two dedicated public houses. There is a traveling cinema, which reaches where I live once every four months. What there is, is peace and quiet, virtually empty roads, and beaches that are classified as among the very best in the world. It's a much more different life than what I was used to, but I wouldn't want to change it, for anything. Sweeping Strings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,638 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Right, on both counts. The fish is the best that I have ever tasted. The pubs have quizzes, and ceilidhs, and all manner of other events. My pub of choice is a twenty minute car ride away, so I don't get as much as I would want to, but it's still nice to have a pint (of Coke, as I am teatotal), and sit, and to talk with like- minded people.

Bellosh 3,447 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Has anyone seen the trailer for The Exorcist: Believer that's playing exclusively before Oppenheimer showings (so dumb this is a thing) ? I managed to see a leak of it and apparently it references the banned original Exorcist trailer. Also, Ellen Burstyn is back in it, as it's the official sequel to the original. It seems like they go to her to ask questions but she was so incredibly helpless in the original that I can't help to think this is just another ploy to bring back original characters for no other reason than marketing. The original is one of my favorite movies of all time. I hope this is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallguy 3,424 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We saw that trailer with Oppenheimer. There was a noticeable reaction when the audience heard Tubular Bells. the when the title "The Exorcist" came up a lot of the audience laughed. Probably not the reaction the film makers were going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellosh 3,447 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I remember people laughed during the Hereditary trailer simply because of that clicking noise the girl made. No laughing during the viewing though. Horror trailers are genuinely trash this is no exception. But it looks like it could be a lot worse. I have such low expectations for these that it doesn't take much for me see a bright side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nuts It's the Fast And Furious of horror franchises, lol. Haven't seen any after the first one of these or the F & F series, now that I come to think of it (IMO the first Saw was a perfectly good standalone horror-thriller that didn't need follow-ups, and I found the first F & F movie to be pretty mediocre so that put me off seeing any more of those).
