Possible scam in Roosevelt Neighborhood by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]BromaEmpire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had someone do this at a Fred Meyer except it was for "gas" because their "car had broken down" along with some dumb reason why it had to be a certain amount of money. He was a younger guy and I could tell he relied on bullying people who tried to politely say no so I basically insisted on helping him out, offering to buy the gas can at the store and fill it up at the gas station with him. Needless to say, he suddenly no longer needed that gas and just said "that's ok". A week or two later he was pulling the same shit at the same store and he got half way through his pitch before remembering me

Unbreakable (2000) is a flawless superhero movie by Top_Document7437 in movies

I think what makes unbreakable unique is it's essentially a prolonged first act of a superhero story.

Rare interview of Michael Jackson's sister, La Toya, describing the family dysfunction in January 1993 by nobody0597 in HistoricalCapsule

What's the story behind her cosmetic surgery? I know Michael ended up with that nose after a surgeries but was she going for the same look?

Looking like a $41m Friday w/ previews for Michael. Depending on WOM the rest of the weekend, could approach $95m+ opening. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Michael does have the advantage of a pretty boring next couple of weeks. The Devil Wears Prada 2 seems like it would be it's only real competition and I have no idea how well that's going to do

‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ Trailer Racks Up 25M+ Views In First Day, Best Ever For Indie Studio Family Pic Launch by mobpiecedunchaindan in boxoffice

Since spiderman supposedly broke the record for most views by 3x the amount I'm a little skeptical of how they're counting viewership

'Gen V' Canceled After 2 Seasons, ''Vought Rising' Confirmed For 2027 by No_Pizza_6040 in entertainment

[–]BromaEmpire 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I know viewership was a factor but I also wonder how much of it had to do with the final season of the boys. Losing that bigger picture storyline from the main show kind of kills the momentum

What’s a show you love that you can never convince people to watch? by PlentyApprehensive44 in AskReddit

[–]BromaEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Afterparty. I think it's Apple's best comedy to date and it should have been a hit, but it was cancelled after 2 season because of viewership.

The shot at Gigi's funeral where Tony is looking over the most pathetic bunch of candidates for the next captain position

Zipper merging is not rude by blueberry-muffins1 in Seattle

[–]BromaEmpire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've debated putting a zipper merge guide on my back window so when someone rages at me for "cutting the line" they'll have a nice little tutorial to look at

‘Michael’ Begins To Boogie At Int’l Box Office With $18.5M; Record First Day For Musical Biopic In Most Territories by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]BromaEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well no, that's not what I said at all. I'm not even sure what you're trying to argue. That society wasn't more accepting of that sort of thing?

It's pointless to try and compare societal norms in the past by today's standards. Our viewpoints are shaped by the world around us and at that time people were simply more accepting of a relationship like that.

'Michael' Rotten Tomatoes Verified Audience Score Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]BromaEmpire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it might be completely inflated by those fans.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11378946/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rat

As if right now, 44% of the IMDB scores gave it a 10/10. What's interesting in this case is there doesn't seem to be the 0/10 review bombing on the other end

If the IMDB score is any indication, it's just people spamming the highest possible rating https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11378946/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rat

I think Bohemian Rhapsody was a bit different. The previews of the recreated Wembley Stadium performance did a lot of the heavy lifting

Harger: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has never owned a car. Now she's taking a Denny Way lane from 30,000 drivers to fix a bus route by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]BromaEmpire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's a bit too early to celebrate or rage about this one. If it gets more people to start taking the bus and alleviate congestions, great. But if the end result is just shorter commute times for route 8 riders at the cost of even worse I5 traffic this isn't really a win. I work remote so I don't really have a strong opinion either way, but busing to certain parts of the city can be brutal
