Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 3, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 3, 2018 Having an fairly star studded cast and decent backing was probably a big reason for Scream's success, wasn't it? Slash horrors were fairly low budget and indie up until that point, and/or done-to-death series like Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th and Halloween. Then Scream came along and seemed to reinvigorate the genre. It was still shit, mind you. Quote

Unless you are vegetarian, it's the best thing to eat. Meat roasted really well with just salt and pepper is a thing of beauty. Beef with a brown crust, a wibbly bit of fat and blushing pink meat is simply sublime. Chicken roasted to perfection with golden skin and succulent inside is simply great. Etc. Etc. If you've had it made properly, it beats anything. Anything. The enjoyment far outweighs the effort. #GreatBrexit Edited September 3, 2018 by Onyx2 Quote

Some cracking early work, mixed in amongst a lot of misses and some genuine shit. I assume we're counting Wishmaster as one of his masterpieces. Edit: yeah, I know he only produced it. But it is great Edited September 3, 2018 by Chest Rockwell Quote

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 3, 2018 Moderators Posted September 3, 2018 The second one is alright too. Number three is shit and had a different sector playing the genie. I never even bothered with number 4, even though my housemate had the full boxset. Quote

Plus killing one of your biggest stars before the titles is a pretty cool thing to do, Quote
TheTonetta Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Daniel Bryan is a overhyped wrestler. Subway is overpriced shite. Cafe's are shit. the fry up is a greasy mess that is gross to look at, let alone, consume. Quote

Bloody great film, and criminally un-remembered by so many people, it seems. The Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square recently did a couple of showings of it, which I had to miss. Was kicking myself; would've loved to see it on the big screen again. Quote

Richard Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Probably going to catch some flack for this one but, cheese boards. Cheese in general, cheese culture. Just the entirety of it. Overly pretentious nonsense. Thank fuck the board doesn't have a downvote option anymore. Quote

Cheese in general, cheese culture. Just the entirety of it. Overly pretentious nonsense. That's basically the culture of anything that has developed a culture though. Cheese, wine, craft ale. If it can be consumed then generally the people that comprise the "community" of that consumable (as opposed to just being "I like Beavertown beers, me") have a pretty high wanker quotient. Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 19, 2018 Aye. Gin being the biggest one currently. I enjoy a G&T. But the whole Gin bar culture is wank. Quote
