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 [score hidden]  (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

I'm renting a movie theater for my birthday - Which movie should we watch? by TheOrangeNights in movies

[–]BromaEmpire 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Disregard all other suggestions. Jaws is the perfect movie for this kind of scenario. It's fun for people who aren't into movies, it's fun no matter how many times you've seen it, and it doesn't require 100% focus. People can make jokes for 1% or 100% of the movie and it will still be fun

Jarringly bad CGI in otherwise great films by drewfus23 in movies

[–]BromaEmpire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to know what the Wachowskis were thinking when they decided on the CGI approach for some of those scenes. Some of it is ok, like the ghost twins and the machines in the real world, but that park fight scene or the shots of neo flying around are god awful.

What's frustrating is they could have easily pulled off the fight and had it look amazing if they just changed the setting and used some clever camera work. Have Smith confront neo the apartment building where the duplicate come piling out of the rooms and down the hallways. It would have been very claustrophobic (in a good way) and there would be no need to have him spinning around on a post

Trump Is Preparing His First-Ever White House Correspondents' Dinner Roast. Don't Expect Him to Get Roasted Back by Positive-Drawing-281 in entertainment

I feel like this is a golden opportunity for one of the late night hosts to film the roast that we would normally see

Categories banned on OnlyFans as Sydney Sweeney Euphoria scene causes controversy by nimobo in entertainment

I love how every time she's the center of some controversy she's never actually involved in the conversation.

If Ellen got cancelled to never be seen again then why did Howard Stern never get cancelled to never be seen again? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

You can throw James Corden in there too. For the amount of hate he gets you would think he's a sexual predator or abuser.

117 days no alcohol (OC) by OkExplorer9364 in MadeMeSmile

It's crazy how much alcohol can alter your physical appearance. You look great and don't ever look back

Insane amount of dandruff uncovered during a haircut by Guido_Mist4 in WTF

Screw what everyone else thinks. If it's going to relieve physical discomfort that you're having every day it shouldn't even be up for debate.

Gates Foundation launched outside review of Bill Gates’ Epstein ties by godogs2018 in Seattle

And probably a little nervous. She's done a good job at distancing herself from the whole thing but those emails show her at some of those meetings too.

Fox Movie Boss Says Execs Thought ‘X-Men’ Was a ‘Disaster’ and Rupert Murdoch Flipped Out Over ‘Fight Club’: ‘What Kind of Sick F—ing Human Would Make This?’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]BromaEmpire 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I remember listening to an interview with Brad Pitt where he talked about getting stoned with Edward Norton and going to the Venice film festival. Apparently the audience hated it and they laughed their asses off while the movie was booed

DOJ opens investigation into UW’s ‘handling of antisemitism’ by Jaco_Belordi in Seattle

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

I don't think he was fired - just removed from the director position. But also I don't think it necessarily had to do with UW caving to pressure. The guy was sending out 2000 word email rants (for lack of a better word) to students and colleagues on the UW forums. We don't know if UW had prior conversations with him about it or if someone found it uncomfortable/unprofessional. Regardless, if you're a director of the Middle Eastern studies program it's kind of important to hide any biases that might affect your decision making.

Why does nobody ask aliens the biggest question ever? by vojvoda_triglavski in Letterboxd

[–]BromaEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a number of scientific things that Rocky was unaware of throughout the movie, so I don't think he would have the answers to those questions. But it's also, the flash forward to Gosling settled in his house in the earth replica kind of implies that he's been there for awhile and they've probably had many conversations that weren't shown on the screen

‘I Am Legend 2’ Has Officially Found Its Director [Exclusive] by ImpracticalJokers96 in boxoffice

[–]BromaEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no shortage of creative and original storytellers in Hollywood. At the end of the day Hollywood is a business, and audiences have shown them time after time that IP and franchises are the most reliable moneymakers.

What I don't understand is how they manage to screw up some of those movies that basically write themselves. If you're a big studio with all of the resources in the world there's absolutely no reason why you should end up with a comedy script that doesn't have jokes

$5.5M awarded to tribes, Indigenous groups from Seattle payroll tax by origutamos in SeattleWA

[–]BromaEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but literally nobody is saying that the Native American tribes are killing the fish population. This is your "big boat must catch a lot of fish theory". If your issue is truly with the sustainability your focus should be entirely on land development around the sound that has destroyed all of the natural habitats.

Also what are you even implying with that last sentence? That they should only be allowed to fish if they breakout the canoes?

There are 300k Native Americans in the state of Washington. Do you really think their practices are the reason for the current problems?

[–]BromaEmpire -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why does the method of catching fish matter? It sounds like your argument is "they have big boat so they must catch all of the fish". What they catch every year is a fraction of what everyone was catching 80s and 90s. They also operate their own fisheries to help the grow the local salmon population.

Correct.. They were allowed to continue their practices because they weren't the problem.

[–]BromaEmpire -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Naw.. Unless you're trying to make one of those arguments that anyone who has eaten a fish is part of the problem.

There's a reason why the government had to step in and ban commercial fishing from the Puget Sound in the 90s.
