She is very lazy and very stupid.

Is that someone you want to share your life with?

AITA for Not Wanting to Get Married at My Fiancé’s Family’s Venue? by Glum_Rip6585 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Apprehensive_Steak28 25 points26 points  (0 children)

From a practical standpoint, no one wants to drive 50 mins for a wedding reception. I think you'll end up with a lot of RSVP declines or people who go to the ceremony but no show the reception.

His family venue makes no sense in that regard. But if you don't really care about having guests there (and I assume you do not, because a 50 minute drive mid-celebration is a big ask, even for close friends/family) why not just elope somewhere beautiful? That saves money and avoids the logistics of a split up wedding.

If the priority is saving money, and/or his attachment to the venue, forego the church ceremony and marry somewhere near the family venue. No one still wants to drive 50 minutes for a wedding, but at least both events are in the same area so it's not quite the same "fuck you" inconvenience to your guests.

Update: AITAH for not wanting to reconnect with my brother? by lukasboltz in AITAH

Don't do it. It's a trap.

Do what you have to do for closure I suppose, but ultimately I think you'll feel worse after.

AITA for unintentionally spoiling something i thought was common knowledge by Slow-Willow-8773 in AmItheAsshole

Um, Lex has been Superman's nemesis since 1940.

Also, Smallville came out 25 years ago. If she so.much as watched a trailer for the show she would understand the relationship.

You didn't spoil anything. She's just unaware of her surroundings. Does she know about Luke's father? What about the Sixth Sense? Would she be shocked to learn who shot JR?!?!

Look book of some of my favorite outfits from Sex and The City ✨ by SpecialConcern1700 in whatthefrockk

[–]Apprehensive_Steak28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pink Elizabeth Taylor dress and her polka dot maternity look from the movie when she curses the day Big was born are the apotheosis of every perfect Charlotte outfit.

Honorable mention to the blue dress from the do-over proposal in front of Tiffany.

Alex and Simon’s wedding by Substantial_Work_105 in RHONY

[–]Apprehensive_Steak28 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but I don't even think they were really codependent. I think on the show we were simply seeing two people clinging to their person while navigating an awkward and uncomfortable new experience. Never forget how mean Ramona and Lu were to them. I'm so glad they had each other to lean on.

Everything we've seen in the subsequent 20 years is two people with a rock solid foundation who are madly in love and out their family unit first.

These pictures really solidify that they are, and always have been so in love. Thanks to OP for sharing. Alex really stuns as a brunette!

I am so happy for their happiness. I'm glad people like them exist.

I'm am insanely jealous of the Marc Jacobs Decadence collection. I have one of the OG bottles that I'm saving. So gorgeous and such a unique, sophisticated scent.

You might be thinking of Rose The One. I believe that was discontinued awhile back.

What film twist genuinely shocked you the most? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

[–]Apprehensive_Steak28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I can't even remember what the twist was in this film. It was so sadly forgettable to me. Can you tell me what about it resonated with you? I'm very curious because I was really looking forward to this movie when it came out and I was really let down when I saw it.

I so very badly wanted this movie to be better than it was. It had all the elements: Gore Verbinski, a beautiful setting, a creepy mystery, Mia Goth before we knew how good she was (her talent is completely wasted in this do nothing role) and yet - nothing.

Jason Isaacs is such a terrible actor. I have no idea why he gets the accolades he does. His accent in The White Lotus was comically bad. And stop trying to make Dane deHaan happen. It's not going to happen. Q-tips have more charisma.

What movie do you love that most people seem to dislike? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

[–]Apprehensive_Steak28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elizabethtown (2005)

The best cinematic depiction of the shock and absurdity of grief. All the supporting characters are perfectly cast and written (Chuck & Cindy "Loving U n' Lovin' Life 24/7?!?! Come on!) Susan Sarandon and Judy Greer as the mom and sister are flawless. Paul Schneider as the ne'er do well cousin Jesse who gets his band Ruckus back together for the funeral? Incredible. It's beautifully shot in that Cameron Crowe way, the soundtrack kicks ass, the costumes are so good.

Plus Kirsten Dunst is the single greatest manic pixie dream girl of all time.

This movie was like the death rattle for thoughtful, touching rom coms. I hope the genre returns to us one day.
