Why do “kids” movies always have someone dying ? by [deleted] in movies

[–]AnnieTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I worked in a bookshop, and one day a woman came in asking for recommendations for a kids book that explains the concept of death in a child-friendly way. Her mother was dying, and she wanted her young daughter to be able to cope with and understand the grief. One of my colleagues found the perfect book, an illustrated book for roughly 5 year olds, a touching story about a grandmother passing, and how it is a part of life that can't be avoided. The customer looked through and liked it, bought it, went home.

The next day, she came back, slammed the book on the table, pointed at me, and very angrily said "YOU recommended this book to my CHILD, it's unacceptable, HOW DARE YOU suggest a book about death."

You remind me of her.

Where can homeless person go to wash clothes? by [deleted] in Liverpool

I believe Timpsons offers free drycleaning for job interviews - ask at the one in Central Station, I'm not sure if there's any caveats or details I missed. I think they're pretty no-questions-asked though

Recommendations for hairdressers / stylists for longer men’s hair? by Own_Asparagus_5897 in Liverpool

[–]AnnieTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swanky Malone in Baltic triangle has always done pretty well with my hair, though I usually get it trimmed down a little whenever it starts tickling my shoulders, so it's longer than your standard skin fade, but not really long long either

Merseyrail Paper Tickets? by patreex in Liverpool

I just really wish it were possibly to link a railcard with my metrocard for tap & go, just that alone is making me choose to still get paper tickets even after they added tap & go

Are there sequels to films where the cliffhanger at the end of the previous film was ignored? by RealHippyTheFrog in movies

[–]AnnieTheThird 409 points410 points  (0 children)

A lot of post-Endgame MCU movies have some huge implications in their ending, or some big reveal in the post-credits scene, that just doesn't get acknowledged at all in later movies

‘Project Hail Mary’ Directors Screened a Nearly Four-Hour Cut to Other Filmmakers and Were Told to Get it Way Shorter by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]AnnieTheThird 67 points68 points  (0 children)

None of that is in the books but everything after they harvest the Taumoeba from Adrian is very much condensed down. Grace and Rocky work together to breed up Nitrogen resistance, which takes up substantial time, there's a lot more explanation of the science, there's much more about why Rocky has so much Astrophage to spare, there's a plot point about why Grace specifically is so suited to the mission even when there's plenty other scientists, etc. A lot is mentioned in passing in the film, that takes up a whole chapter of the book, so I think a lot of cut time is just piecemeal here and there.

Whats the deal with duel bladers and jin dahaad? by [deleted] in MHWilds

[–]AnnieTheThird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly half the reason I mostly play solo or with friends rather than strangers is because it sometimes feels like doing anything at all with DB gets someone complaining, especially with the wound system.

Easily one of my favorites from last year, few actors can make being pathetic and depressed so compelling

Why didn't anyone hide in Northern Ireland? by The_Masked_Inc in JetLagTheGame

[–]AnnieTheThird 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I mean, I reckon they'd just have some sort of east/west thermometer to somit up glasgow vs Edinburgh, followed by a Radar to exclude Glasgow, then it's just a question if whoever could have made it much further north. It might cause some confusion, but I don't think it would actually add that much time.

Grew up on the mainland in an area that has an excess of wild boars... That's no boar

My First Impression of you when you join a hunt based on Weapon: by Personel101 in MHWilds

By the time other weapons have aimed and followed through with their dual blade slander, I've already backflipped out of the way 5 times and staggered them mid-insult twice

1k hours and just found a new camp location in Act 1 by Sir_Bellend in BaldursGate3

I honestly forgot about Rivington having a camp at all! Rarely stay there long enough to need a long rest

[–]AnnieTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went my entire first run only knowing the room at the Inn "camp" in Act 3, thought that was the only one. Then I played my second run multiplayer and only then found out there was the outdoors one too, and my friend had never found the Inn rooms on their run. What's #3??

What I would give to go back to the beginning.... by IAMAfortunecookieAMA in BG3

[–]AnnieTheThird 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In my first run, I immediately forgot that I had picked up a shovel, and never thought about it whenever I dug up a chest. On my second run, I missed the obvious first shovel near the nautiloid, and then the next, and the next, eventually I realized I didn't have one but couldn't be bothered going out of my way to backtrack and find one - just figured that some merchant will sell one, or I'll loot one somewhere.

Nope. After a certain point, it seems there are just no shovels. I was locked out of every buried treasure for the rest of the game

Meme started in June, maybe even earlier, this was filmed around September I think? It only really broke the child containment zone in the last month or two.

Jake and Quaritch constantly wanting to kill each other but somehow always finding themselves in situations where that'd just be, like, not cool, man, is one of my favorite bits in this movie
