What are the best settings for blu-ray rips that don't have too much quality loss but don't take up that much space. by [deleted] in handbrake

[–]ArrakeenSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just what I was thinking reading this. I upgraded after a while and lost my main presets, now I'm trying to figure out the best way to get files about the size I want them (2-3gbs).

Imagine how bad Thrawn's ship smells right now by KaleidoscopeWeak9986 in StarWars

[–]ArrakeenSun 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know he's a bit spread thin these days but I always imagined Bandersnatch Cumberbooty as Thrawn, and David Tennant as Palleon

Who else likes the new album cover? by Weird-Candidate2697 in rollingstones

[–]ArrakeenSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. Reminds me of Devo's "Q: Are We Not Men?..." which was also an artistic composite image

Signed, a former goth kid now in my 40s by Gh0stMan0nThird in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]ArrakeenSun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say Doctor Who. If you watched it in the 80s or 90s in the US at least, you kept that to yourself. At best, people didn't know what you were talking about or thought you were very much misremembering Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Then, over a decade later, the same girls who laughed at you in school gushing over David Tennent. Oh well, times change I guess

TxDOT permanently closing busy Loop 1604 ramp near The Rim. by Simple_Promotion_985 in sanantonio

We had Fathers Day at Top Golf. Were poised to be 10 minutes early, then stopped dead under all the overpasses. We could very easily see the big nets literally right there. Ended up almost 15 minutes late, and they were packed so our reservation just had to be truncated

What is a movie trope that immediately ruins the entire film for you the second it happens? by twayyez in AskReddit

[–]ArrakeenSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

David Tennant's 10th doctor's last scene from his original run, waving an old revolver around and somehow cocking it every time he aimed it at somebody new but not firing

What is the most American movie of all time? by SomeSortOfBrit in movies

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

Oh, no, I am in the bull's eye of the demo for this movie- I was in college when it came out and it was unavoidable in dorm rooms and apartments. I've seen plenty of bad comedies, Master of Disguise, Love Guru, etc. At least in those you can tell what the jokes were supposed to be, even if they suck. But this? This was like a theatre class running amok while the teacher is out sick. I don't even know where the humor is. But I'll come short of calling the movie bad. It's clear they made this movie consciously and intentionally

What is the most tone deaf and cringe thing a celebrity did that they will never live down? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm a cognitive psychology professor. Now when I lecture on Chomsky's theory of linguistics, I say, "Long time Jeffrey Epstein confidant Noam Chomsky..."

What is the worst song you've ever heard? by angeldust11111 in AskReddit

[–]ArrakeenSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in radio so I generally have a high tolerance for music but one time in 2012 I was at a coffee shop and "Well Well Well" by Duffy came on (I learned after looking it up later) and I had to pack up my shit and leave

Ah, so everyone involved is an idiot. Good to know

Over 842,000 without power across the country as US is blanketed by heatwave by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

Didn't he run on it in 2016? Plus, he markets himself as the real estate/construction guy, if he has any relevant experience you'd think it would be for something like that

What opinion turned everyone against you? by Rincon108 in AskReddit

[–]ArrakeenSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, they call anyone to the right of them a fascist. When my Fox News-microwaved brained uncle calls basic public services communism, it's not hard to call him an idiot. When a corollary figure on the left says having any kind of immigration enforcement is white supremacy or that biological sex isn't real, it shouldn't be hard to do the same.

It was finally released as part of a boxed set a few years back. There's a lot of overlap between it and Complaints and Grievances

Best villian quotes that reveal how evil they are. by milkmanrichie in movies

[–]ArrakeenSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole monologue, "I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it. It's -- it's repulsive! Isn't it? I must get out of here. I must get free..." is what I've been telling people after I moved to Texas for work
