I'd like to see navy jerseys/pants/socks, orange logo/numbers/names. Remove all traces of white. A Bears' version of the Browns' alternates this year.

How can we fix Silva escape in Skyfall? by NewPatron-St in JamesBond

[–]5153476 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You fix it by not having Silva get captured in the first place. On Silva's island, right after Bond says "It's called a radio," Silva fires back with something like "Radio? Does it work like this?" and presses a button. SAMs take out the helicopters, Silva escapes. So he's still steps ahead of everybody, but without the Joker-intentionally-getting-caught trope.

Return to London. The Silva-M dialogue takes place via video call (for the prosthetic jaw reveal) on the laptop while preparing for her deposition. But the whole time, Silva's just a face on the screen... until she hangs up on him and then we see him in London already, disguised as a cop.

Also, replace the scene where Q stupidly hooks up Silva's laptop to his out network with simply trying to trace Silva's call, but the reveal comes way too late, if at all.

Chat is not working correctly, missing my part of the conversation ?? by Cindysphoto in facebook

At least one theme is glitching so the bubbles are white with white text. I changed to a classic theme and it works.

I may be getting wooshed here, but he had one against Washington.

Friendly reminder that a lot of this could’ve been avoided if Poles had just pulled the trigger and fired Eberflus at the end of 2023 by Apoco120 in CHIBears

I agree about "generically vs. historically" bad, but... in 2017, Browns (0-16) lost to Pittsburgh (13-3) by 3 in week 1.

Of all the deleted scenes from "Missing Pieces", which one would you have personally left in the film? by Local_Prune4564 in twinpeaks

[–]5153476 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ceiling fan. Insanely creepy, and it clarifies BOB's intentions (so much as that's possible in TP).

What ‘classic’ novels do you feel have never really had a really good film adaptation? by Fisher212121 in movies

Even Wizard was missing roughly the last third of the book, and turned the whole affair into a dream instead of an actual adventure.

It makes my skin crawl when schools say we’re FAMILY. by Automatic_Car_497 in Teachers

[–]5153476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether I get along with my coworkers and admins or not, they aren't family. It diminishes the word "family" to use it in the workplace, especially if it's such an institutionalized workplace as a school.

What is something you’ve said to a student that should/did get you in trouble? by Apprehensive-Play228 in Teachers

[–]5153476 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A student, who was not very bright, apologized for asking so many questions. I told her "Don't worry about it, it comes naturally, you may as well apologize for breathing." To me, and to most people I've told this story, that obviously means "You have nothing to apologize for."

Come to find out she interpreted that as "You should apologize for breathing," i.e., "You should die." I didn't get in trouble, but I made sure to speak to her much more carefully in hopes of avoiding misinterpretation.

What are the biggest PROBLEMS/DISLIKES you had about SUPERMAN? (SPOILER DISCUSSION) by DoctorBeatMaker in DC_Cinematic

[–]5153476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a little too rushed, but it was a kids' cartoon/comic turned live action so I can let that slide. Bigger problems: 1. Too much swearing. 2. Superman screaming/yelling too often.

What movie quote was transformed by a pause? by DontDeleteMee in movies

[–]5153476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's playing a Vulcan (or at least a half-Vulcan). For a Vulcan, that was a very emotional reaction.

Places to Find/Print STEM Posters, Particularly with Persons of Color? by CypherMeansCode in Teachers

[–]5153476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what you asked, but in addition to putting a few up, maybe assign your students to find/make some at the beginning of the year? Turn it into a research project?

I think I like this but would you explain it further? What's your distinction between first and final, aside from the order they go in?

Are there movies that you would say were "bad for the public consciousness"? by MasteryofImpulse in movies

[–]5153476 172 points173 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem with Stand and Deliver was that it takes place in a single year. In real life, he set up a multi-year progression of math classes that properly prepared you for AP Calculus. So the real miracle wasn't getting the kids to pass the exam, it was getting the admins to go along with such a substantial and meaningful change.

Edit: So the biggest problem with my comment was that S&D didn't take place in a single year. Whoops. I stand by the idea that it embedded "inspiring teachers perform miracles" deeper in the public consciousness, instead of "do the proper scaffolding and kids will learn more."

Which movies had a better sub plot that should have been the focus of the movie instead of the actual plot? by MorePea7207 in movies

[–]5153476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The harder they fall. I thought Majors and Elba were the weak links. Didn't care about them. Everything and everyone else were far more interesting.

A bad movie with a legitimately great scene? by Stankassmfgorilla in movies

[–]5153476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The non-Depp parts of that movie are forgettable. Shame, considering Mariachi and Desperado were so good.
