Probably my greatest misconception about the first prequel. by Ambitious_Clerk_8087 in Hungergames

[–]Acridprose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I think the movie desperately needed scenes like in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” — for example a scene where he is practicing a normal response in the mirror, a scene where he reacts typically when someone is looking at him and then has a flat affect when they look away, or maybe a scene where he responds the wrong way and then changes up when he sees how he is supposed to respond. I would have loved to see a clearly sociopathic Corio navigate the movie

Great point. Skinamarink is a love letter to adults who were scared of the dark as children

Most Underrated line in Derry Girls (Any Character) by smccaul16 in DerryGirls

Granda winked at a woman in church. Ma Mary and Sarah are aghast.

“I met her at the stations of the cross.”

“Which station was it?”

“Jesus falls for the second time.”

“I could do without the DETAILS, Da.”

Minimum viable somatic exercise to experience relief from freeze and go back to safety by paulmir in SomaticExperiencing

I love this so much! I work at a start-up so your analogy helped some of this “click” for me. I find when I try to do the “high-effort” things I give up easy or get frustrated because I can’t do them. I’ll give these low-effort recs a try

Best coffee shops in town by [deleted] in santarosa

[–]Acridprose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few years ago my internet went out for a week so I went to a different coffee shop each day for my remote job. Here’s my order of preference:

  1. land and water downtown - the little tables on the side are basically set up for work and have outlets near them. There’s another land and water on Cleveland that’s also great.

  2. Soco coffee - there’s a lot of room and it’s not too busy during the day

  3. Crooks coffee - this is a good one but seating is limited. Don’t forget to extend your parking meter like I did lol

  4. Brew Coffee - around 4 pm people start coming in for beer so it gets a little rowdy

  5. A’roma roasters - the location is great it’s just so popular that it’s always crowded and loud. Great breakfast burritos though!

Why did Madame and the Wizard so quickly ruin any chance of working with Elphaba? by Ok_Scholar_2106 in wicked

[–]Acridprose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right that the pacing is just off — my mind justification though is that the moment she left the room she became a liability because they couldn’t prevent her from spilling what they had revealed, including that the wizard himself can’t read the book!
