mjmooney Posted February 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm outraged by the Peter Rabbit movie. No allergies or epipens in the original Beatrix Potter book. It's Edwardian, STOP TRYING TO 'MODERNISE' IT! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you’re familiar with the CBeebies peter rabbit show and the annoying soft rock that soundtracks any of the action sequences that take place.

Yep. It does have some redeeming features (the artwork is pretty good), so I can just about stand it. Ever seen the version the Americans get? As with Hollywood, all the 'bad' characters keep their original British voices, but Peter and his brave friends are all American. This new thing looks appalling, though.

Yeah the show looks good to be fair and the music aside, it’s ok. I didn’t know that about the US version but can’t say i’m too surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to god they never see a Wile E. Coyote cartoon or heads will roll. Did you just assume the gender of the afflicted? How dare you. I am offended.

I had to switch it off it was dreadful I don't doubt people love him ..he's just not for me That Glastonbury set was a huge let down. When he came on, as Noel Gallagher rightly said, the first 30mins were as good as it gets. Then he went 'deep cut', tried to be too clever by wheeling out Bon Iver and then unleashed that God awful Queen cover. It was a massive missed opportunity. On record though he's untouchable. I don't care what people say, he's a genuine, modern day, musical genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) I guess it's to be expected at my age, but I just cannot 'get' rap/hip-hop. At all. Any of it. In true old person style, I do think 'it all sounds the same'. People keep saying, no you're missing the good stuff, here, cop a load of this... and I listen, and I hate it. Objectively, I'll accept that it has its own validity and musical merit. But inside, I'm still thinking that I pity anybody who thinks that this shit is music. Sorry, can't help it. FWIW, my parents said exactly the same thing about the 60s bands I grew up with. Edited February 12, 2018 by mjmooney 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah rap / hip hop doesn’t do it for me either , though I can still pretty much recite the words for “white lines “ verbatim all these later ... Mike is about my parents age so I’m lucky in that sense in I can say I get the music my parents grew up with in their teens... more so than the music my own teens are listening to ( though tonyh jnr is getting into the Who in a big way ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Was just in the gym and saw this guy getting ready to have a shower then he brings out his tooth brush, toothpaste and mouthwash. I thought ok he would shower first then brush his teeth but no he started brushing his teeth then went for the shower. i must be in a small minority here but i always shower first then brush my teeth in the morning. I thought everyone did that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
