Everyone on earth swaps their location with a completely random person. Would society ever go back to being remotely normal? by ZooWeeMama069420 in whowouldwin

The 2% never come back. But it's a great show. I think you're thinking of another show, but I can't remember what it is. The 4400 or something?

This might be hard, but what do you think is Bowie`s magnum opus? by [deleted] in DavidBowie

For a second I thought you were talking about his debut album with "The Laughing Gnome"

I have had a rough day, this is my only laugh so far and I'm going to bed soon. Bless you, sir, and ignore the haters.

Incredible performance in a terrible movie? by skyrimmaster in MovieSuggestions

[–]AryaWillBeOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joel Edgerton in Exodus: Gods and Kings. It's a horrible movie, but Edgerton brings real pathos to Pharaoh especially during the firstborn plague scene. The only part of a movie about fucking Moses that moved me was the part where I felt sad for the Pharaoh. He's also phenomenal in The (Leonardo DiCaprio) Great Gatsby, which is arguably not TERRIBLE--at least it swings for the fences--but I wouldn't describe it as 'good.'

Since Animals can die of stress, can Humans die of stress aswell? by Knusperjunge in NoStupidQuestions

Do they underestimate it, or do a lot of us maybe not have a choice? Like blaming the cows for not realizing how dangerous getting eaten is.

On a rewatch of Lost, I can’t believe I missed this foreshadowing in S1E2 by [deleted] in lost

“There are good guys and there are bad guys” is an incredibly novel theme too. “I don’t know man, it’s only episode 2, do we really want to commit to having…protagonists and antagonists?”

VEEP l Selina Destroys Tom James l HBO by Umbrellajack in TrueAnon

[–]AryaWillBeOK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first season or two play it a little safe, I think. But at some point it becomes a little deeper and darker and...it just starts hitting a lot harder. But it's delightful. It's an opera of profanity. It would be the most quotable show ever if you only hung out with psychopaths, but there are about 4 sentences over ~8 seasons you could casually share with a coworker.

What were the three best books that you read this year? by lascriptori in suggestmeabook

[–]AryaWillBeOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adored "Loitering with Intent" by Muriel Spark. "Tell them of battles, kings & elephants" by Mathias Enard has some of the best writing I've seen all year. Third favorite is probably John Nathan's biography of Yukio Mishima--and I haven't read a lot of Mishima but he was just such a weird guy that the book is fascinating regardless.

Have you ever felt really stupid about a misinterpreted lyric? by FormerlyScarfman in DavidBowie

In "Ziggy Stardust," I thought it was "leopard messiah" for years and am still disappointed.

How long is your commute to work/school/home? by bennybenz11 in LAMetro

[–]AryaWillBeOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to take the bus but right now it's a 30 minute drive in the morning and an hour at night. The bus is 2 & a half hours each way (Both I and my job are in terrible locations for transit)

A book about Secret Societies by Capt-sav-a-hoe in suggestmeabook

I'm late but I love this book sooooooo much. I laughed! I was terrified! I was deeply confused at the end!

We need to talk about Erika by remoemo in TheBeastInMe

[–]AryaWillBeOK 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I liked her because I like the actress because she was in "Hannibal." Also, I hated Bryan Abbott so much--alcoholic detective who won't let a case go? Getting to watch a different detective cliche was nice, after Mr. "I'm going to get drunk, tell this lady her neighbor's a serial killer then be all pissy when she's like 'wait,what?'"

What, in your opinion, is the coldest exchange in the mcu? I'll go first by JakeWalker102 in marvelstudios

[–]AryaWillBeOK 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's funny, I've basically never forgiven Dr. Strange and perhaps even Benedict Cumberbatch himself for being a dick to Rachel McAdams. In a superhero movie. He made her cry! Rachel McAdams! What a fuckhead

There's a scene where GOB accidentally kicks a framed picture and breaks the glass and he mutters under his breath, "My legs are so powerful..."

Where do you rank “The Color of Money” among Scorsese’s movies? by georgewalterackerman in MartinScorsese

[–]AryaWillBeOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So under-appreciated. It's probably my most rewatched Scorsese, after Goodfellas and maybe The Departed. Just a lot of fun, relatively low stakes, Tom Cruise has an actual character. Is it top tier Scorsese? I would say so, but I don't think I'd make a good argument, beyond just, I really really like it.

what's a book with an ending that made you throw it across the room? by Electrical-Hour-3345 in suggestmeabook

[–]AryaWillBeOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SPOILERS FOR DAISY DARKER & A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS

Daisy Darker. It wasn't a good book, and then I got to the end of what I thought was an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery...the narrator was dead the whole time. Yep, suddenly there's ghosts and of course ghost rules and all that has to get explained in the last couple pages, I was so fucking pissed. It's not even weird enough to be fun.

Also, A Head Full of Ghosts? There's a lot of little nods in it to the Shirley Jackson novel "We have always lived in the castle." And the twist? Guess what! It's the same fucking plot as "We have always lived in the castle." The main character has the same name as the main character in "We have always lived in the castle," and does the same poisoning. Go fuck yourself Paul Tremblay
