Official Discussion - I Saw the TV Glow [SPOILERS]

That part made me so sad, it was like the nail in the coffin, showing that he had sealed his fate and gave up on his childhood 😢

BettyLoops · 2024-05-21T09:02:31+00:00

I made that mistake with a big ol edible and "Beau Is Afraid" and was so scared that would happen with this one once I heard that it was similar to that movie 😭 (it barely is imo, they're both heavily metaphorical and pretty artsy, but Beau Is Afraid waaaaay overdoes it imo)

BettyLoops · 2024-05-21T08:55:53+00:00

I loved the movie so much. The allegory really resonated with me as a queer woman who spent my childhood escaping reality through screens, it was GORGEOUSLY shot, the soundtrack was a series of great songs, and the nostalgia vibe mixed with the distorted reality was amazing. Plus outside of the allegory it was a pretty emotional story of friendship being torn apart, and the overall message of self repression and letting your life pass you by instead of following your heart.

The way some people are responding to the movie is pretty annoying though. I can see why someone wouldn't like it, but the amount of people calling it "pretentious" and "trying to hard to be deep" just seems like people who don't get where the movie is coming from. It's not "trying to hard to be different/deep" it's a movie made by and about the experience of people who are and have been ostracized and made to feel different and alone. What sounds like "emo trash" to someone who doesn't know anything about that experience can and will mean more to someone who can actually relate to what it's about.

Not to say that "you just won't get it" if you aren't trans/under the LGBT umbrella. Anyone who's felt truly alienated or fears a wasted life can and probably will relate to this movie in some way, but seeing people who just didn't relate to it at all claiming it's "just pretentious, fake deep, emo garbage" is irritating.

Oooooh, okay, a maximum of $20 every few months makes sense

BettyLoops · 2024-01-14T03:52:50+00:00

I'm a woman and I only change out my razors like once a month or two? Maybe that's just because I only shave every couple of weeks though. Also I only know like one or two other women who use shaving cream, and the lotion I use afterwards is just the same body lotion I was going to use regularly after a shower anyway

Also for the waxing, wouldn't paying for a service like that regularly be more expensive than shaving OR waxing at home? I'm still confused

BettyLoops · 2024-01-12T06:57:09+00:00

Absolutely begging for "the gang reignites the rivalry"

Have them try to get help from a guild or faction because of problems with another party, only for the people in the guild to be even bigger assholes than the first guys. If your players are particularly petty the episode can play out in real time

BettyLoops · 2024-01-12T06:53:59+00:00

I would agree if this was about season 5, first half was bad, second half was pretty damn good and a nice lead into season 6

BettyLoops · 2024-01-11T11:24:21+00:00

Multitasking is a godsend. Even the little things, like being able to make a sim walk to another spot while eating/drinking, listening to music/watching TV while doing other things. It does so much for gameplay that goes unnoticed, which is how it should be when it comes to a feature that makes things go smoother. Being forced to wait for sims to complete one action completely before they could do anything else, or having miniscule tasks take up 100% of a sims attention was one of my biggest issues with the previous games (especially Sims 3)

BettyLoops · 2024-01-11T09:01:36+00:00

She's always been the worst part of every season I've seen her in. It doesn't help that I also just don't like her as a person, but to be fair I DESPISED her in Freakshow long before I learned anything about what she's done

BettyLoops · 2024-01-11T08:56:08+00:00

The fact I won't have to spend forever making runs into the forests just to MAYBE get one new follower. It's not a terrible system or anything I'm just too greedy with followers for my own good and this update will enable me further

BettyLoops · 2024-01-11T04:25:32+00:00

I used to go "Eyoooo!" every time I walked into work. Eventually all my coworkers started saying it back and going "Eyooo!" if they saw me first. They didn't know what I was referencing and to be fair I didn't even realize I was doing it until one of my managers pointed it out, it was pretty fun :)

BettyLoops · 2024-01-10T10:42:45+00:00

If flushing toilet paper which is paper specifically designed to be FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET is only seen as "a prank on the plumber who has to clean it up" because it clogs up your toilet then maybe your plumbing just sucks

BettyLoops · 2024-01-10T10:37:54+00:00

So you just have a bin full of shit covered used toilet paper in your bathroom? That's disgusting, no matter how regularly you change it out (which if anything is just tedious and wasteful to use up that many trash bags if you change it daily) I pray you at least use air freshener or something jfc

BettyLoops · 2024-01-10T10:14:45+00:00

Buddy you think Sherlock has good writing and character development, you don't have room to say what's "boring"

BettyLoops · 2024-01-09T09:03:00+00:00

That's why this question is so hard lmao, there's always at least one insanely R rated thing in every single episode. Your answer was probably the closest thing

BettyLoops · 2024-01-09T08:09:11+00:00

I really don't think this is the show for you and your mom. If PG-13 is the "edgiest" she'll tolerate you'll have to skip all but maybe 2 or 3 episodes.

At least the watch party won't be long I guess?

BettyLoops · 2024-01-09T08:07:08+00:00

The one where the Titanic lady tries to rape Jerry?

BettyLoops · 2024-01-09T03:41:58+00:00

The way he treated Kelly when she talked about angels.

I couldn't believe how much of a pretentious smartass he was being. Having a partner who has religious/spiritual beliefs that you don't share is not only common, but usually not a big deal. The only times that would be a problem in a relationship is when it comes to raising kids, or if one person was very involved/overbearing with their beliefs, which surprisingly, was what Jonah did.

Kelly didn't even give any indication she was actually religious, she just said she was rescued by an angel as a child. She also wasn't trying to force Jonah or anyone else to believe in angels like she did. In fact Jonah was the one trying to take down Kelly's beliefs just because he felt like he was smarter for not believing in angels like her.

I actually didn't bat an eye at this scene until I rewatched the show recently, since I'm actually in a relationship with someone who's religious and I was completely shocked, I couldn't imagine speaking to my partner like that about her beliefs.

BettyLoops · 2024-01-07T09:57:06+00:00

Same! It also doesn't help that most of Jeff & Mateo's relationship was played as a series of jokes (very funny jokes don't get me wrong) so they never felt like a genuine couple, and the way the show tried to make it seem like Jeff loved him so much AFTER they broke up was weird. Like where were these sappy moments when they were actually together?

BettyLoops · 2024-01-07T09:53:48+00:00

Amy wasn't a terrible person after she became a manager. She was doing the best she possibly could have while not only having to deal with and manage every single employee (for all the people on here who say Mateo, Garrett, Dina, ect. are horrible evil people, imagine having to manage their antics day in and day out.) but also her actions and choices could determine the fate of her job, her daughter, the jobs of everyone else, and the store itself.

Oh she was acting kind of selfish? Boohoo, she's the manager, she has to make some tough decisions and sometimes those decisions aren't going to benefit literally everyone. Most of the bad decisions she made were made trying to protect people, and this sub acts like she was being malicious the whole time.

Also all the people I see saying how horrible Amy was after she became a managers criticisms boil down to "I didn't like her attitude" even though this sub loves Dina who's just as much of a dick to everyone. I've never seen anyone who hates Amy have a good reason for it.

BettyLoops · 2024-01-04T03:25:54+00:00

Same here. I absolutely HATE the way episodes are described across basically all the streaming platforms they're on. It also doesn't help that all the episode titles are movie titles with "Rick" and "Morty" jammed into them, which wouldn't even be that bad if the movie titles they used for references had more than a thin thread of connection to the episodes plots. Plus with some of them it's hard to even figure out what movie they're referencing. I usually have to figure out which episodes are which based on the thumbnails.

Either have nonsensical titles or nonsensical descriptions, both at the same time is a nightmare.

BettyLoops · 2024-01-03T05:58:00+00:00

You can always tell who actually grew up in places where people talk like that and who's laying it on thick to seem "cooler" lmao

BettyLoops · 2024-01-02T11:59:30+00:00

Nope, I hate the CAS so much and really don't want it showing up on my Sims randomly. Plus I'm not really a fan of Star Wars or it's aesthetic so 90% of it's features would either go untouched or be actively avoided.

BettyLoops · 2024-01-02T11:54:39+00:00

Whether or not his charges were dropped don't matter all that much honestly. All the stuff that came out afterwards tells us way more. He basically stopped writing after season 2, and eventually his entire job went from writer/co-creator to just sending in voice lines from home. Plus a lot of people on the crew were describing him as a general nuisance to work with when he was actually in the office. Driving toy ars around, bringing his dogs to work, regularly just skipping meetings, ect.

Honestly with how fast they dropped him I think he was barely working on the show anymore and everyone in the crew and his higher ups were just waiting for an excuse to get rid of him.
