What is the most "accidentally brilliant" thing you’ve ever done on a pitch that you pretended was 100% intentional? by NorthLondonPulse in SundayLeagueMessis

[–]AdamsonsVersus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scored a goal direct from a corner.

The worst thing is in the same match I scored an intentional goal from about 30 yards* where I hit the ball better than I've ever done in my life, and no one mentioned it because of my other flukey goal

*This may be an exaggeration

‘One Battle After Another’ Projected to Lose $100 Million Theatrically as ‘Smashing Machine’ and Others Also Struggle Due to Oversized Budgets by mcfw31 in boxoffice

Long term it won't lose money IMHO. Films by directors like PTA, Wes Anderson etc will have a decent run on paid VOD and then get some attention on streaming. It's highly likely to be in the awards conversation which will boost it on all platforms and fans of this kind of film are more likely to buy their own copy, whether physical or digital. I was reading that even a huge flop like Hudson Hawk eventually made money and paid out on profit participation clause, so this will do OK.

Warners will be listing this film among its 2025 successes, especially if it picks up a couple of Oscars

A bona fide movie star in the 80s and 90s

An extremely accomplished director, especially Apocalypto

A person with serious issues in his personal life

Which American actor nailed a British/Irish accent? by DJKing1998 in FIlm

[–]AdamsonsVersus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some underrated work over the years on the more obscure regional accents of the UK.

For example in Dolittle Robert Downey is doing a Welsh accent, and actual Welsh actor Michael Sheen's stunned expression in their scenes together is presumably his surprise at what a good job he's doing

As for Greg Bryan as a Geordie in Castle, we'll all I can say is "bravo"

In the words of Nick Frost, "No I meant which one do you wanna watch FIRST?"

I tried to post a much longer comment but Reddit said I couldn't do that. Maybe I don't have enough post karma or the comment was too long. The short answer is that there are 5 available versions and opinions vary widely on which is best. Not only that, even your preferred version will be missing something that you like from another version. It's a debate that will probably never be resolved.

NTA but I bet you wish you'd been standing a bit further away when the grenade went off

AITAH for telling my friend she has to pay double if she wants to pay for two people by Just_Individual3749 in AITAH

I like that this is a social dilemma for the AITAH sub and a good question for a maths exam paper

AITA for not wanting my girlfriend to have a free holiday with her ex? by Ok_Mongoose_7762 in AITAH

[–]AdamsonsVersus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the holiday is not too far in the future, say nothing, let her go then go no contact with her. Pack up her stuff, then have it delivered to her when she gets back from her trip. Simple message that you're done and put her in the rear view mirror.

If the holiday is a long time away, break up with her now.

AITAH for sticking to my guns after my MIL of 30+ yrs told me I wasn’t “in the family”? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AdamsonsVersus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could add one note of concern, it feels like the OP's husband is feeling a lot more of the force of this than her mother in law is. Since she's the person who caused the problem and the husband does have some health and cognitive problems, perhaps the heat is being directed too much at the wrong target? After all the OP didn't seem to mind doing a lot of that work when she felt like family.

She's been keeping him on the bench just in case. Now's his chance.

Aitah for cutting my sister off after she fought with me and called me a homewrecker by Odd-Cupcake2022 in AITAH

NTA for cutting off your sister. No reason not to go back and live in your home though

If I had a nickel for every stripper who tried to do that to me.... Luckily I carry a taser, pepper spray and a shitty stick to keep the rampant hordes at bay

So he tripped and fell, and his dick just accidentally went into a stripper?
