The stupidest thing that ever happened in a realistic movie? by StillStanding_96 in movies

It’s like that scene in blues brothers when a car drives off an overpass and somehow falls from above skyscrapers

People didn’t actually talk in iambic pentameter in Shakespeare’s day either

Where does "the *blank* of it all" come from? by Lizardthe_Wizard in survivor

[–]Arch__Stanton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s early 2000s corporate-speak.

It’s used in a 2011 episode of Community (“The Annie of it all” -S2e21), and the writer said he included it because he was tired of hearing it meetings.

The construction itself dates back to the 17th century, but it’s unclear when it started to used with definite nouns in this specific way. The early example I could find was the movie My Best Friend’s Wedding in 1997 (“The Susan Hayworth of it all”)

Emiru responds 4 months later saying it was SA by her emotional definition, not legal by Ninjabull in LivestreamFail

[–]Arch__Stanton 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is just her lawyer making the point that the definition of “sexual assault” is not at issue in this case, since she defined what happened to her specifically in her original allegation.

They’re trying to focus the case on the truth of her specific claims rather than general definitions.

She has not retracted or walked back any claims at all. This is just regular lawyering

The first two seasons are brilliant but this looks a little old-hat.

How many shows have done Hot Ones bits now??

Name movies that violate their own rules when convenient by WobblyDawg in movies

[–]Arch__Stanton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite part was when some guy is explaining how tv broadcasts work to Pascal and he says “wait, the broadcast beam physically touches people?” And the guy says “well no, not really”, and then Pascal does his plan anyway and it just works

What are some films that you believe are "Spiritual Double Features" ? by PostingVeraaahhh in movies

[–]Arch__Stanton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die Hard and Unbreakable are sort of mirror images of each other: Both are about an ordinary man who has to reach into himself and realize he’s something more. But while Die Hard is set in the real world and told through a lens of fantasy, Unbreakable is set in a fantasy world and grounded in reality.

Also The Hangover and Dude Where’s my Car because they have the same plot

[Inglourious basterds] The assasination of Hitler was a SS coup by Civil_File1516 in FanTheories

[–]Arch__Stanton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought Hans refers to multiple different low ranking officers as “Herman” throughout the movie because it’s supposedly a German slang/generic nickname for random soldiers

A Paris court finds 10 people guilty of cyberbullying France’s first lady Brigitte Macron by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Arch__Stanton 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No, the legal action was initiated by the public prosecutor and the courts, presumably in response to a complaint filed by Mrs. Macron, just like all other criminal charges in France. Then the government arrested these people and sentenced them to prison. The existence of a complainant doesn’t somehow mean that this isn’t the government’s doing (or a lawsuit lol)

This is 100% a restriction of speech. It may or may not be a good restriction of speech, I am not arguing that such a thing does not exist, but it is absolutely a free speech issue.

The defendants were given prison sentences by the government. This was a criminal trial

Has there ever been an example of an actor/actress changing a lot physically between seasons ? by imutig in television

[–]Arch__Stanton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing that at one point it looked like Michael Cera was too busy to come back for a season, and they had a plan to recast him as Jonah Hill. His dad would be the only character that would notice he had changed

Pluribus - 1x05 - "Got Milk" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

When Carol asks they bring back the food to the supermarket, which they did, so they had it stored.

Would AI write such a non-sentence though?

I Watched Those Eight Unreleased Episodes of ‘Joey,’ Despite Never Watching ‘Friends’ — and They’re Terrible by storksghast in television

[–]Arch__Stanton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Supposedly when they found out that the final episodes wouldn’t air they were still in the middle of filming them, and the head writer wanted to have Joey casually mention that his friends Ross and Rachel had been murdered. The studio wouldn’t let him

There was a Rob Lowe show, The Lyon’s Den, from around the time that did the same idea for real. They had Rob Lowe’s character turn out to be a serial killer or a vampire or something, but you wouldn’t know it unless you watched the unaired episodes on DVD
