Paradise Towers was absolutely not a healthy society

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I did means Zimbabwe. I even googled it before I posted it to make sure I had the right country, and then posted the wrong country anyway. On a related note did you know that THC can stay in your system for weeks?

Not to out you as a secret dumb dumb, but do you mean Zimbabwe? I can't seem to find anything about hyperinflation in Tanzania.

Partly Murder mysteries (with the classics I'm very basic in that I prefer Christie, recently did Sad Cypress for the first time) but with most of my more modern comforts I find them by spending a lot of time browsing the LGBTQ+ and (insert genre here) tags on audible

I appear to have the Superman curl

Frankly I am a mean boy who doesn't deserve it

In fairness I saw a lot of that before streaming became big

Mainly with amateur Doctor Who critics

I'll be there with you, single handedly fooled me into thinking it was my favourite of the movies for years by osmosis

I'm the kind of person who thinks Genesis of the Daleks is a 7/10, would rate it below Planet of Evil and WAY below Pirate Planet and Enlightenment with a side of 'thinks the Chase is maybe worse but far more watchable'

But many fans give unique rankings so it doesn't count as unhinged enough to me

I love how the Don Giovanni sequence in Amadeus has Salieri claiming the Commendatore represents Leopold when more than anything the whole scene is symbolising his own damnation.

Voodoo is a 10 and my Aoty for 2000, “Africa” is the best song to listen to lying in bed on a sunny morning holding your partner.

very sad waking up to learn D’Angelo has died, one of the most significant musicians from my years studying music at tertiary. RIP

I rented the DVD once (so we're going back centuries) and all I can summon to memory is Jeff Bridges gets shirtless for a second and David Warner is there.

I'm told there's also a Wendy Carlos score people like.

If we want to be b*tchy about it we could say they're mentioning Who because no one can think of anything else she's been in

Comedy idea:

Two actors, one is insanely jealous of the other's talent and is finally driven to homicidal madness when they both audition for a production of Amadeus and his rival wins the role of Salieri.

I had no idea you'd seen any Doctor Who let alone the movie

96 movie, I have fondness for it but seeing the aesthetics of 90s American tv movies mushed with niche British sci-fi is a trip and not always a good one
