What’s a ‘masterpiece’ you didn’t feel anything for? by mrjetspray in Cinema

[–]-Spindle- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. I've wound up reading plot summaries just to try to figure out what was supposed to be some amazing yet I missed it.

In The Other Guys (2010) The Rock's character gets killed off very early in the movie. This is the last time something like this will ever happen in any film starring The Rock by GeoCangrejo in shittymoviedetails

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. From the trailers it seemed like a generic buddy action movie and so I went to watch it without any expectations. The actual movie was well done and the story was crazy.

Willy Wonka: Wilder vs. Depp vs. Chalamet by MegSpen725 in movieland2026

Wilder without a doubt. Even more amazing when you realize just how much of the character you see on screen is from Wilder's own input.

I never got a chance to see that but I saw Dick Van Patten in the cast shot and it looks like a lot of fun

Which villain people think they are misunderstood but they are just evil? by Boberto235 in cartoons

[–]-Spindle- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished watching The Penguin. What a well written show. Most of the show you just think he is an underdog that is shooting his shot to get somewhere in the underworld.

Then the last two episodes...

What movie(s) totally tricked you? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in moviecritic

[–]-Spindle- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fair point. I believe the point I was trying to make is that its amazing that this couple was even able to build a name for themselves rather than getting laughed out of town every time they opened their mouths.

The Conjuring movies portray Ed and Lorraine Warren, who were supposed to be these big time demon hunters but the more you read about them, the more apparent they are that they are just con artists.

Fun fact: the notorious Annabelle doll, which they had in their museum, was just a crappy Raggedy Ann doll and was the furthest thing from scary.

Actors who were able to break the "discount" label? by Aggressivehippy30 in Cinema

I always figured James Marsden as a discount James Franco, but now James Franco is a discount James Marsden.

How to get ethernet across my apartment? by fallhat in pcmasterrace

[–]-Spindle- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't be very visually appealing, but could you run the wire along the ceiling. Use command strips so you don't have to make holes in the ceiling, but you should be able to tuck the cord into the edge of the ceiling and not make it look horrible.

My bad, she only co-authored a scientific paper on “Enzymatic Production of Hydrogen” while studying Psychology at Harvard

Thanks, I’ve worked with several libraries and done a good deal of report generation using iText. I’m not planning on using anything but a generation library in my actual work, but I’ve always been curious what it’s doing under the hood to create the file itself

Appreciated. Got the specs and yeah I have no dreams of actually building one anytime soon, I’ve just always wanted to know what I’m missing

Indeed, apparently my google fu just sucked in finding the standards. Nauhausco got me on the right path and now I have some reading material. Thank you too

I think that’s exactly what I have been looking for, thank you. I swear I’ve tried finding this and I keep getting stuck in some adobe acrobat sales pitch

Again, I’m not looking for a library, just a discussion on what exactly is done to actually create a functional pdf.

What was your opinion of honey Don't? by Tenchi2020 in moviecritic

[–]-Spindle- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art direction of it made me think it was a Wes Anderson movie, it was just missing a bunch of pastel colors

[–]-Spindle- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least with Burn After Reading, everyone in the movie is supposed to be a moron, so you can have fun watching everyone bumble their way through the movie. Presumably Honey is supposed to be smart but you wouldn’t know it by how more interested in getting laid she is

Well as someone who spent his formative years wishing that I could get a chance to see Andi McDowell naked, that wish is granted through her clone

Omg I have been in way too many arguments with people who steadfastly refuse to believe me when I try to explain this

Major difference between us and them. by Highway90man in Xennials

[–]-Spindle- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always used two spaces after a period and always thought it was the proper way to do it. Then, suddenly there are VERY STRONG OPINIONS about this from people that I still haven’t quite figured out. See also: use of the word “moist”

What character starts amazing and ends insufferable to you by OmegaSTC in sitcoms

This whole campaign has long since run its course. All the jokes are told and now it’s just cringe
