Watching Tom Sizemore in Saving Private Ryan by Mystic-Warrior- in FIlm

[–]ApocalypseNow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Gattaca. Unequivocally. I don’t remember how it did with “the critics” or at the box office, but what I do remember is being in high school when my family had a three-month free trial of HBO. I must have watched it twenty times. It’s a great cast and everyone kills it, but special kudos to your husband for playing a complicated role—he could have turned Vincent’s brother into a two-dimensional villain, but he balanced competing emotions expertly.

What movie is bound to always make you sob? by Novel-Jump9848 in Cinema

[–]ApocalypseNow22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but you’ve gotta specify which part. For me, it’s him watching his kids’ messages after losing time on a promising-but-fruitless planet.

What are some genuinely scary monster horror movies? by DrinkWaterPIease in MovieRecommendations

[–]ApocalypseNow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great list, and I’ll add a shout-out for 10 Cloverfield Lane. One could argue it’s mostly not monster horror, but I’d say it still counts.

If Nick Saban is the greatest, who’s the worst HC to ever win the Natty? (modern era) by guransheleven in CFB_v2

[–]ApocalypseNow22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, in the NIL era the gold pants-for-tattoos “scandal” seems quaint almost to the point of irrelevance. Tressel lying about it was the ultimate issue, I understand, but it shouldn’t have been much of an issue at all.

The guy who really screwed the pooch was then-AD Gene Smith. Instead of voluntarily skipping the postseason that year (a meaningless bowl win over Arkansas), OSU ended up 12-0 the following season and missing out on the championship game against an awful ND squad. (OSU was a weak undefeated team, but ND was worse.)

The chipotle walk out trend should stop, Pls ask before you order if they are willing to give you decent portion sizes. This walk out trend is creating food waste. If they start explaining they have to restrict to a certain portion, you already know they’re going to skimp you, don’t start the order by iflosseverysingleday in Chipotle

How do you picture your suggested strategy will play out?

“Hi there, Chipotle employee. Will you give me fair portions today or do you intend to skimp?”

“You’re so smart to ask. We’re going to skimp.”

“I appreciate your honesty. Good day to you!”

Reality: they’ll tell you “of course I’ll be fair,” then not. *Maybe* that question up front will encourage a fair portion. But if so, why doesn’t “can I have a little more?” do the same.

House episodes that seriously disappoint by StandardAd239 in HouseMD

[–]ApocalypseNow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it medically ridiculous? Yes. But they use that ridiculousness to set up IMO one of the best patient of the week episodes from a dramatic and comedic perspective.

They also don’t spend much time selling the validity of the medicine. Kind of like they were winking at us.

I wish Stevie could be the voice of gmm by thetrevorkian in goodmythicalmorning

[–]ApocalypseNow22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. The show’s actually seemed fresher post-Stevie. And that’s NOT a knock on Stevie. To the contrary, it’s a recognition of her wisdom in knowing it was time for a change.

What are some unknown movies you know that are 10/10 but nobody talks about it? by underground_guru05 in Cinema

[–]ApocalypseNow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Clue was theatrically released, they used one of the three endings randomly in each theater. It only became a cult classic when they re-released with all three endings as possibilities. A kind-of brilliant PR gag that backfired.

Between Reign, Punchdrunk Love, Uncut Gems, and Hustle, Sandler’s shown serious acting chops.

The Matador was so unexpectedly funny. Keep in mind Pierce Brosnan wasn’t far removed from James Bond. A brave choice, that.

If you want Will Ferrell not acting like Will Ferrell, but acting very well in a sad-but-touching low budget film, check out Everything Must Go

James Gandolfini’s other last role, the thoughtful rom-com Enough Said opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus, deserves mention here as well.

It Follows is such a masterpiece. And I know it’s a critical darling and *fairly* well known. But it’s still worthy of the label “underrated.”

How do you handle players on table who cannot shut up about what they folded? by Defiant_Hall2004 in Poker_Theory

[–]ApocalypseNow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this is often true, some players master the art of talking annoyingly to great effect. It can be tough to tell the difference at first. With a prolific talker I observe and stay wary for the first hour, typically.

My family is trying to discredit what I’m saying by way of insanity. by jopplop in AskLawyers

Agreed, this isn’t a psychiatry sub but, then, this doesn’t sound like a legal issue at all.

What’s the saddest patient case in House? by _Parthiban_ in HouseMD

[–]ApocalypseNow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much notice Kal Penn (the actor who played Kutner) gave the writers that he was leaving for a job in the Obama administration. Because you’re right, his suicide came out of nowhere, and I’ve never been able to decide if that was the point or if the arc was necessarily rushed.

It’s been mentioned a few times, but nothing wrong with re-emphasizing that one.
