  • Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

    One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

    Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

    And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have

















  • I think it very much depends on where you live.

    I’m in the UK have never felt the need to have a car. I can get anywhere I want on public transport. If I want to go into the city, there’s bus or metro, if I want to travel the full length of the country there’s trains every few hours. My nearest shops are walkable distance (1/2 mile), my nearest 24 hour supermarket also walkable, about a mile

    Going into the city or town by car? Got to sit in traffic, find a car park, it’s just a hassle

    But, if I lived in the US where the nearest store was 5 miles away, and my job was 20 miles away, and there was 1 bus a day passes through my town, sure. Different situation

    All subdomains on apache proxies… its a bit of a mess though. Whenever it comes to update something I can never remember how I installed it. Theres a heady mix of script installs, deb installs, source installs. I’ve got Gitea ready to update but I have no idea what method I used to install it :')
