Thanks! I reckon we'll give it a punt.

I got my brother an Opinel Brunch Knife and he sent me a photo spreading Lurpak on a slice of white supermarket bread. Unfortunately not trolling.

Has anyone got a shower head with a filter built in? My partner hates washing her hair at home in London and reckons it's because the water is so hard.

Do they work? Are they worth it? If so, what do we go for? We're renting and not sure how long we'll be in our current place so can't do anything more involved than changing the head.

Haha, no way? I'm the handsome one (drummer). Morrow are unbelievable aren't they?

That's definitely on the list!

Good idea! Here's a rough stab at mine.

Zone Of Interest - best film I've seen in years, I never want to watch it again.

Poor Things - enjoyable and weird. Probably not one to watch with the family over Christmas.

The Holdovers - fun and melancholic in equal measure. Definitely counts as a Christmas film.
The Substance - good, fun body horror

Civil War - a bit on the nose and not Alex Garland's best but still very worth a watch.

I saw The TV Glow - nominally a horror but more melancholic and creepy than outright scary.

Longlegs - Nic Cage in a film that's trying very hard to be Silence Of The Lambs. I enjoyed it but my partner hated it because she's terrified of dolls.

I saw The TV Glow - melancholic and creepy.

What's everyone's favourite films of 2024? I've got a couple of days with no plans between now and new year and want to catch up on good stuff I've not seen.

Whilst I'm here, Gladiator 2 is shit. Some decent performances but absolutely nothing going on with way too many on the nose nods to the original. Quite disappointing!

The main one is Cady (similar vein to Cassus) but also play in another band called Komarov which is similar screamo crap but a bit heavier.

Pageninetynine are a great place to start on screamo! Particularly if you're coming from a hardcore/metal background.

Cassus are great, I've been playing gigs with them for years. First time we played together was in an 18+ venue when they were all still young un's. They had to hang out outside before and after their set which was quite odd!

Thief is very good. Banging Tangerine Dream soundtrack as well.

I quite enjoyed The Keep in a very strange, absolutely incomprehensible way. That's not to say it's good.

Mann has done some bangers. Manhunter, Thief are great. I enjoyed Collateral and Miami Vice as well. Some stinkers in the mix for sure though. Public Enemies is one that comes to mind.

I already have some much more regrettable tattoos.

Shamone!

I'm up for a tattoo. I like the tombstone idea!

Anyone off to Pageninetynine/Thou in April? Pageninetynine were incredible when I saw them in Toronto last year.

The site hasn't even shut down yet and this abomination has gone on my bike. Where will I end up when all aesthetic accountability has gone??

I don't really frequent this thread but Pest Control are pals of mine. I used to live in Leeds and our old bands used to play together a lot. Great to see them doing so well!

Your "context" cannot save you now.

I couldn't even find it on any dodgy sites when I looked a while back.

Thanks!

I will do if we get our shit together enough to know what we want! Thanks.

Damn, I used to love going to Wembley Drum Centre as a teenager!

Drumshack is a good call actually. Fareham is definitely too far, haha.

Anyone fancy any of these? Free to collect from SE20, E20 or anywhere along my commute. Can post if the cost is covered.

I've got some Dickies trousers that have started to come a bit loose at the seam in the arse region. Is that something the dry cleaner round the corner from me can sort out or is it worth venturing further afield?

I'm reading a collection of James Cain books at the moment. I enjoyed The Postman Knocks Twice quite a bit. My first experience of that pulp-y early 20th century crime stuff.
I'm currently on Mildred Pierce which I'm not as in to. I'd rather read Richard Yates, John Updike etc for melancholic, slice of life stuff.
Double Indemnity up next.
