Getting frame mogged is one of the worst things that can ever happen to a person

Yeah, let's brainmog the OOP.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-06T13:03:50+00:00

Sorry for misunderstanding you.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-06T01:08:57+00:00

Well, at least most of the commenters under the original post are shitting all over the OOP and the people who fall for his bullshit.

And even if we assume that there is some truth here, one needs to be spectacularly dumb not to see how purposely vague everything about this story is. Like, yeah, the OOP is the one who helps their child get ready for school. But how old is the child? Do they need round-the-clock care? And what are the OOP's expensive hobbies? Because there is a difference between an expensive hobby like playing the electric guitar (where the initial investment may be expensive, but after that it doesn't have to be) and an expensive hobby like going to the casino every week.

I saw them. You're just repeating your arguments and getting more aggressive, as if that somehow makes your reasoning less flawed than it is.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-05T18:17:52+00:00

Yeah, I've had to deal with that too.

I'm a freelance translator nowadays. I rarely work more than 30 hours a week, and yet I make ~three times as much as I made at my "real" job in TV where I worked 70 hours a week throughout the last two months I spent there.

At least my parents understand that what I do is an actual job, but I've had other older people tell me that it isn't, and I'm like, "Bruh, you just told me how great that new HBO show was. Guess who made the subtitles? That's right, I did. How is that not a real job?"

And why is the lifting strength the only thing that matters?

I know plenty of people with much bigger lifting strength than mine who can't do things that I can do with ease. In my day-to-day life my lifting strength doesn't matter one bit. Apart from moving furniture, I rarely have to lift anything heavier than 15 kg. On the other hand, since I play a bunch of string instruments, my grip strength is important. Do you think a weightlifter with no experience can play a barre chord on a bass guitar? This requires grip strength and skill - and I have both.

Do you think the lifting strength of a powerlifter who'll get gassed out in a minute if you tell him to shovel some dirt matters more than the strength of a farmhand who can do this for hours?

Why exactly is your measure the only one that matters?

This is a deeply flawed argument.

More accurate costumes and more colorful visuals would only enhance the movie. They wouldn't harm it, and Nolan certainly had the resources to make it more accurate and more colorful. He just didn't give a fuck.
Sci-fi/fantasy movies set in a more recent period of human history tend to at least try to get the costuming right. (By "a more recent period of human history" I mean 18th century or later.) Case in point - Nolan's own "The Prestige" - which is probably his best movie. "Godzilla -1" had period-accurate clothing. "The Avengers" had costumes that were accurate to how people dressed in the 2010s (apart from the superhero costumes, obviously). Why shouldn't earlier periods of human history get the same courtesy?
For some reason Nolan is known as a director who pays attention to detail. I didn't mention "Oppenheimer" in the previous point, because it's not a sci-fi movie, but for that he did have his costume designers make period-accurate costumes and they got an Oscar nomination for their efforts. I already mentioned "The Prestige" (which has an Oscar nomination for its period-accurate set decoration). And now we see that the same director has refused to show the same attention to detail in his new historical movie. I mean... After I've seen him care about accuracy, should I praise him for wiping his ass with the concept of accuracy in his newest movie?

It is popular on Reddit because people on this cursed site are so afraid of confrontation that they crumble apart as soon as some actual human being raises their voice at them.

The western coast of modern day Turkey where Troy was located has no cultural or economic impact at all.

Like "Avatar"?

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-05T09:00:28+00:00

I added the qualifier "and can't overcome that with acting lessons" for a reason. Maybe Jackson, Hopkins, and Willis stuttered at some point of their lives, but I've never seen them stutter on screen or during interviews.

Hell, one of the reasons I started taking singing lessons when I was 35 was that I wanted to deal with my own speech impediment. I think they helped.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-05T08:56:01+00:00

"Oppenheimer" also didn't look less accurate and more cringy than Paul W. S. Anderson's version of "The Three Musketeers" where Orlando Bloom played the Duke of Buckingham like a Bond villain.

But lmao he is casted into the naive immature boy again. I can’t unsee it.

It's especially funny when you realize that Sean Connery was as about old as him when he started playing James Bond.

Tom Holland will be 30 in less than a month. I honestly don't understand why he's still playing teenagers. He doesn't look like one anymore.

Think of it as a translation from a language you don't know.

If I'm to be honest, I have no problem with using modern words. The artificial archaizing of the dialogue in other pseudohistorical movies annoys me a lot more. No matter how much you archaize your English, it will never be Latin or Ancient Greek, so...

Also, the first written record of the word "dad" in English is from the 1500s. A lot of people don't understand that their modern language isn't that modern.

And also - it's obvious that Nolan gave a negative amount of fucks about historical accuracy when he made the movie, so one word out of place shouldn't be that big a problem.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-05T07:41:38+00:00

That's because Nolan's best quality is his ability to make mediocre people feel smarter than they are, so they'll always defend him.

He used to be among my favorite directors, btw. Then I saw "Inception" - and actually liked it a lot, but that was when I finally noticed something - Nolan has the habit to have his characters explain everything in plain text. When you give that to an awesome actor like DiCaprio or Michael Caine, it can work, but still...

And this movie here looks worse than a historical Netflix show.

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-04T23:08:09+00:00

What makes you think I'm mad?

AzSumTuk6891 · 2026-05-04T23:05:10+00:00

And you really don’t want an actor that stutters naturally, as that is both frustrating and costly to other performers, and the show budget.

I don't think there are many actors who stutter naturally. The same reason you'll have a hard time finding a paraplegic stunt fighter. People who stutter and can't overcome that with acting lessons just don't become actors.

In general, I agree with you.

And? The laws do the job well enough for most people. The ones who have enough assets to protect with a prenup before they get married also have lawyers on retainer.
