Quote from: Mooncat on Today at 06:34:13 PMI see the US has just revoked Bob Vylan's US visas after their Glastonbury performance. They've also been condemned by the PM, Glastonbury themselves, dropped by their agency, and the local police there have started an investigation. I've never seen anything like this before where so many institutions worldwide have been so openly in support of a genocide and move so fast to take action against people speaking out, it's utterly unbelievable.

Definitely nothing to do with money anyway, it must be a moral thing surely

Blade Runner 2049



You're in for a treat with 2049. It's great

Both need to be absorbed fully I think, so leaving BR 2049 for a time when I can do that. Blade Runner isn't a movie you can just throw on, so I am thinking the same for the sequel.

To be fair I had to watch it twice because I watched it with the kids the first time and I missed too much so yeah definitely wait until you won't be disturbed

Jesus man you wouldn't be picking that one off the list in Domino's. Can't believe you didn't put taco sauce and black pudding on it as well :laugh:

Blade Runner 2049

Got both of these in the post recently. Not sure if the 'director's cut' of Blade Runner is 'the one' or not, looking forward to BR 2049 as I haven't seen it yet.

You're in for a treat with 2049. It's great

Not in the immediate, but you'll hopefully be thankful for the exorcism to come  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Watching a seagull scrapping an oul scald crow here over the bones off me chicken wings and it's a spectacular sight altogether

That plucky little scald crow is a pure legend :laugh:  :laugh:

Think I heard something about that. I vaguely remember the old two part one starring the slow lad from Coach

Quote from: Mithrandir on June 25, 2025, 08:25:07 AMI went to see 28 years later yesterday. Not really sure what to think of it, not what I was expecting at all. Can't tell if I hated it or not  :laugh:

I went to see it tonight and I feel the exact same way but at the same time it was fairly unexpected, the whole thing. And the ending?? Interesting to say the least

Getting all misty eyed here thinking about getting absolutely broke up drinking flagons on a summers evening such as this evening. Just beautiful really.

This is in answer to the post in the non metal thread:

I read The Mist not too long ago as well and the film is every bit as good as the book. Both endings are bleak but in different ways and in a way the film actually offers a bit more hope although that's pushing it a fair bit tbf

Quote from: astfgyl on June 27, 2025, 12:12:16 PMThe cans were always a bit posh for me so strictly flagons and not the fancy linden village or bulmers either. 3 pound 15 for 2 litres and 4 pound 50 for the 3 litre, couldn't go wrong.

Bought a few cans of the new devils bit cider a while back and it tasted like fuckin vinegar. Absolutely awful.

God I miss flagons

Devil's Bit used to be 6% and you'd get 4 cans for a fiver but they changed the alcohol content to 4.5% and now they're 4 for €8.

Anyone remember Inch's cider? Pure rocket fuel in a silver can. 


I remember the Inch's Stonehouse very well! Didn't notice it was gone though as I don't really drink cider at all these days. Stomach can't handle it.

Last cider I bought was up in Belfast and I got 3 flagons of some strong shit called frosty jacks iirc. Was pure delighted bringing them back to Tipp and they blew the fuckin head and the guts out of me
