Useless Thread MDCCXCIV: Zack Snyder Appreciation Thread

[Siamese Dream]

Was The Italian Job as much of a classic in Merican cinema as it is in British

It literally popularly coined the term "cliffhanger"

Hey fatty! I've got a movie for ya; A Fridge Too Far!



This movie was so sick. All filmed on location with real people and equipment. No special effects. No Star Wars Episode: Fury shit with overzealous use of tracer bullets.

Classic Ensemble cast with Michael Caine, Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery

Most Mericans never got Welsh 90s music band Feeder either

Dammit....why couldn't everyone have just behaved in the Harry/Meghan thread?

And we were singing hymns and arias,
'Land of my Fathers', 'Ar hyd y nos'.

There really isn't a sports stadium anywhere in the world comparable to The Millennium (Principality) Stadium in Cardiff, Wales

78,000+ capacity, fully retractable roof. Absolutely beautiful architecture on the riverside.

I mean look at it

@John Price posts that video from 2013 like it's a meme but it's genuinely one of the most iconic anthem renditions before a match ever.

Wales needed to beat England by 7 to win the Championship. I was a student at the University of Reading watching it in the bar on St. Paddy's Day with my England supporting friends who were utterly seething throughout the match. It was one of Wales' all time best performances against England ever.

The captain of the Uruguay team who pulled off a huge upset against Fiji at the 2019 world cup legit said he watches that video to pump himself up for a game, and he doesn't even have any connection to Wales. It's just that iconic for a rugby fan.

It was a top 3 Wales victory of the professional era.

The other 2 being when my cousin twice removed Gavin Henson (who married Charlotte Church and later went on to feature on the UK The Bachelor) had the game of his life and kicked the long range winning penalty back in 2005.




And then when Wales beat England at their home world cup in 2015 to eliminate them in the group stage

Thought you couldn't sell medication on British TV

Thought you couldn't sell medication on British TV

It probably doesn't fall under the definition of "medication"

Even then I don't think that's true because you definitely get ads for standard cold/flu medicine and tablets for things like heartburn.

Ads for medication aren't banned they're just much more strictly regulated
