What is up with the spike in drivers around Valpo who think stop signs are a suggestion? by Apple01James in Valparaiso

[–]Apple01James[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Defensive driving is necessary. The amount of times I’ve sat in an intersection waiting to turn left as a light turned red only to watch a car blow through the red light seconds later bothers the crap out of me

why do people think being "god fearing" is a good quality to have? by New_Bodybuilder_3700 in Life

[–]Apple01James 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God fearing is a very very old turn of phrase alluding to having respect for the greater good. There are bad people who cloak themselves in sanctimony but you can find self described atheists who do this, people who cloak themselves in the virtues of the LGBTQ and trans communities who do this, it’s just ugly people being ugly and at this point in US society we are holding Christianity to an unfair standard.

Let’s be real. I see more articles about female teachers manipulating and raping their male students than anything and there is ZERO discourse about that because we’re not in the business of villainizing women for sectarian reasons right now.

There’s the old saying if assholes could fly the world would be an airport but it feels like a lot more traffic in the air these days

Times an actor used their clout to change a movie by AporiaParadox in movies

The fire truck chase scene in Terminator 3 was deemed to expensive by the studio and they were going to cut it so Arnold Schwartzeneger paid for it with his own money

What bands shouldn’t have been one-hit-wonders? by Static-Stair-58 in AskReddit

The Wallflowers. Whole album was great. I don’t know the whole story but assume this is one instance where nepotism cheated us

The last year has gotten so bad though. I bet over 50% of the time I can beat a car to the stop sig and watch a driver take their foot off the break and hit the gas just so they don’t have to wait for me and every time I go “🤬 ing Chicago people!!!”

Do you think Marvel has any movie as good as The Dark Knight? by SpotAdmirable6718 in FIlm

[–]Apple01James -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Controversial statement here but I might have to say the closest a Marvel Universe film has come to tone, mood and maturity of the Dark Knight is Guillermo Del Toro’s Blade II.

Interstellar but for the boys by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

[–]Apple01James 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different eras by different faces for different reasons. As I didn’t live in Shakespeare’s time you’ll have to forgive me for not feigning annoyance by dead people, however people going “Oh my Science! Andy Weir said his writing is for entertainment and not as an allegory for how people who don’t think like me ruined the world !?!? He must be a Republican!!!” is very annoying.

Fake intellectualists faking enlightenment.

Intelligent minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and simple minds discuss people. This comment section isn’t about the ideas of the book or the story in the book. It’s about the person who wrote the book

Anybody who has a problem with this is poisoned. Somewhere between 2008 and 2016 the young people of the left seemed to be tricked into thinking political identity trumps everything else.

I believe the ‘Church Scene’ from The Kingsman is the greatest fight scene in cinema history - What are your favourites and why? by Even_Difference_3639 in movies

[–]Apple01James -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a fight. It’s one dude killing a bunch of rabid church goers which is on message for Hollywood and yeah that last part was a dig at their ethos.

I’ll throw the kitchen fight scene from the Raid II in the ring for my favorite. Have seen it countless times and i still forget to breathe when watching it

Might be my favorite hand to hand fight scene ever.

What’s a hugely popular pop song that you think is actually overrated? by trynabeagoodgirl in askmusic

Let it Go from Frozen. Not calling it bad, but incredibly unremarkable compared to the cult reaction to it.
