You could just....not?

I realised the other day I couldn't be arsed watching it this weekend, and then seeing various spoilers (from Netflix) within about 24 hours just stank of desperate marketing, and made me care even less.

Think it might need a rewatch here, actually.
November 28, 2025 at 10:28 PM
You "stayed" post-credits too, yeah?
November 28, 2025 at 10:20 PM
It wasn't me, though. It was the video that did it.

Was one aired 15-ish years ago produced and airing on the channel I worked for, really looking forward to it...

DEAR GOD IT WAS FUCKING SHIT.

I'm not explaining how my brain works after that....
November 28, 2025 at 9:55 PM
Love that I just had to look it up cos, based on the name, I genuinely thought it WAS one of those piss-take ones.
November 28, 2025 at 9:54 PM
LMFAO, I was thinking the same myself that it did look a bit....

cocky.
November 28, 2025 at 9:52 PM
is just fucking showing off, and the same psychology of not paying attention to the gig, but just going cos you're there to get pissed or take something.
November 28, 2025 at 9:48 PM
Is it the phones or the lighting of same that gets to you?

COs I fucking hate the light-show (and don't get me started on the cunts doing it at cinemas, not lighting, but the screen doing same) but I have to be honest and saying I do like taking my pics/vids as memories (not of me. The "of me/us"
November 28, 2025 at 9:48 PM
Be nice to us peeps, okay!!!!!! (January, but in that "close enough as masked no difference" kinda way.)
November 28, 2025 at 9:44 PM
Yeah, but give it another 4 weeks and there's be a grand auld stretch...
November 28, 2025 at 9:42 PM
I used to like being up close regardless, seeing the instruments being played and such.

I like the idea behind it, but...I also fucking hate people using gigs as an excuse to get pissed (or worse) and NOT paying attention to the music/gig.

I'm looking at you, geebags on yer phones at the Manics.

And THAT is why I pretty much stay as far back as possible at any and all concerts. Ever. (Or seated. Cos I'm old.)

*filthy look....*

Got two tickets, specifically for 36, but the now-husband couldn't get up to Dublin for the day.

Someone stage-dived, fairly close to the end, knocked my glasses off...which then got stood on and busted for my uni finals.

Now, if you say you stage-dived at that gig.............

Fists/Visions/Valentine...TBMC in 06/07? (I know Fists/Visions were there, but don't remember Valentine...there's a loaded question to said conert.)

That sounds FAR too much like a vagina to me, and even if they were a trans man, would ruin the appeal and the moment. Like, the word alone....
November 28, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Would make sense for some sort of ad/sponsorship spend in there to make sure it got a mention.

Virgin do the same with their reviewers on the Six O'Clock Show, but with them, don't think I've ever seen any of their reviewers do any homework and just smile cos they're on TV and got a freebie.
November 28, 2025 at 9:11 PM
We went to see the stage-show in London and...it was an interesting production, but...

Like the show itself, it needed to be a LOT tighter.
