I have a Cineworld unlimited pass and use the app for bookings. They have recently launched a new version of the app and it is utter dogshit. Can no longer search, it crashes during bookings, unlimited members can no longer book tickets on behalf of other members to get tickets next to each other. The website is also knackered and people are seeing other users’ booking histories on their accounts, and in some cases their payment details! Don’t you just love it when the update makes the thing much much much much worse.

Yep Resident Evil is a blast. Tight 90 minutes, spot on pacing, funny, some spectacular set pieces and some brilliantly executed jump scares. Actually got a round of applause at the end which I have never experienced at a cinema screening ever. I didn’t join in because I’m not an American, but it was certainly well received.

Those pesky Power Rangers won’t stand a chance against The Octomber!

@Moo Speech! Speech! Speech! It really is astonishing that this place has endured. I’ve left for periods of months and at times even years but it’s always here when I come back. Very close to 25 years for me as a poster, will be celebrating that milestone in November. Maybe get a new avatar, really puts the boat out. Thanks to our hosting and moderating overlords and for everyone who contributes. Even the turds and the trolls over the years, you have all helped me pass much downtime at work and been an outlet for discussing wrestling on the internet when the wider chatter on the subject is largely unbearable. It’s also really cool to have grown up alongside other enjoyers of this absurd hobby. Some of my friends in real life have dipped in and out of wrestling at various times but they have never gone deep into the subject. It’s comforting and fascinating to hear from others who have a similar experience to my own and grappled with following this endlessly entertaining and frequently utterly appalling shit show over multiple decades. My friends in real life watched the Vince doc but they’ve never been shafted by a BritWres catastrophe or tried to sit through Regal’s podcasts. That’s not even getting into the excellent community of excellent people and some of the finest anecdotes of all time in off topic. Any topic that turns into story time on here has the potential to deliver gold that continues to surprise me long after I thought I’d heard it all. I often struggle with the idea of Britishness/Englishness and cultural identity etc. I am not patriotic, I find flag waving nationalism pretty repellent. However, revelling in the horrors of a disastrous Family Christmas dinner or unpacking the revelation that someone has been pooing wrong their whole life fills me with a deep sense of pride and gratitude , because the British and the Irish are the best in the world at it and this place showcases that in spectacular fashion.
