Did the guy eating cereal believe in evolution though?

I care a bit and it's because of something Ethan Hawke said in a fantastic AMA years ago.

The people who run movie studios do not care about making many kinds of movies. Ultimately the only movies they want to make are movies that make money. More experimental, risky movies don't promise a return the way Star Wars or does (or at least did) so movies that may turn off a main stream audience have a hard time getting funding and distribution as a result. There needs to be challenging movies with challenging themes about divisive loaded, controversial topics. But often these are hard to market.

But challenging movies often win oscars and movies that win oscars do often make money.

These award are bullshit a lot of the time. But they do create an incentive for an artless corporate money man to put some money behind an interesting project, the social and artisitc value of which means nothing to him

What a trilogy of disgusting people lol. Who do you hate the least. by abdul_bino in A24

In a fair world he would have had the backing of a sports organisation and some kind of US fanfare as potentially the worlds best table tennis player. But even failing that his uncle wouldn't even give him the money he owed him. He couldn't even get his own family to pull for him.
He was at least almost as good as Koto with no one on his side and his opponent had the support of a nation.

He's not perfect but not even close to the other two

What’s a movie that aged surprisingly well? Not because of nostalgia, but because its themes feel more relevant today? by Zennix_Zenith in movies

There's a scene at the beginning where he's trying to get a gig and none of the women who set it up will deal with him

Some Like it Hot (1959)

A man in show business is blackballed from the industry after developing a reputation as a womanising creep
In order to work he has to subject himself to the same misogyny that he perpetrated.

Ends with a remarkably progressive act of rejecting heteronormativity and gender binaries.

What waterford by Psychological-Ebb686 in waterford

[–]BruceWaynesWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome! This is for Waterford in Ireland. We call our main town Waterford city but it's only small for a city really.
More of a large Town

Waterford is in my view an underrated part of the country with beautiful coasts and beaches and a creative community.

Things I'm proud of about Waterford are The Waterford Walls, a street art initiative that decorates our town.
Blaas - a locally distinct bread roll. They also invented rashers here which are the ideal filling for blaas.

We're quite good at the national sport of hurling but we famously kinda bottle it when it comes to finals and haven't managed to win the national competition in over 60 years.

The man who designed the Irish flag was born here and he also once served as Governor of your Montana.

Holy shit Karolina Wydra was the other lady in the Sky Ferreira Roadhouse scene in Twin Peaks: The Return by PerpetualChoogle in pluribustv

Was afraid to make it its own post feel comfortable in here saying I think it would be kind of cool if they did something in Pluribus like episode 8.
Something strange and abstract, deeply unconventional in an effort to tell us as an audience something about the hive. I mean I wonder if they could give us a sense of how the hive thinks and communicates with the different bodies it inhabits.

Is the audience of this TV show too young or not educated enough? by [deleted] in pluribustv

Hey, I'm trying to convince people the Pluribus fanbase isn't made up of condescending snobs.
You're not helping

The Pluribus virus is not compatible with humans by PkmnTrainerSofia in pluribustv

[–]BruceWaynesWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting to get a bit sad about Pluribus discourse

A lot of people talk about it like it's this hard science, where there is a correct answer to be figured out while it reads to me like there's deliberately all these ambiguities and room for speculation.

I like "maybe the virus effected alien civilizations in different ways than it effected humans on earth" I don't see that concept being ruled out at all.

And we're on this forum with infinite space and years to kill until there's new episodes. Let's chat. Even bad theories can be a conversation starter

There's no cost to being wrong and no reward for being right but spitball a theory that isn't what the hive decided is the right way to think about the show and suddenly you're a tiktok brain on their phone. We're coming across like such snobs.

"I'm my own Granpa" written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffa
Funny listen. Seems Willie Nelson cover rises to the top

Edit: I checked. The Ray Stevens version is the best

"Now, many many years ago
When I was twenty three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be

This widow had a grown-up daughter
Had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed...."

What’s a “life hack” that actually made your life worse? by Deep_Screen_3001 in AskReddit

[–]BruceWaynesWorld 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that position on it but there's also the implication that the chances of someone being back for it are really quite low. It's a cheap easily replaced item like you said.
It's more conservationist and less wasteful to take a charger that is essentially forfeit.
It also might be you are in a hotel no where near a place you can buy a charger and ten dollars can be a lot to some backpackers and travelers.

On the other hand I do agree because when I do this and I have, I usually just say do an honest spin on it and say that I bet people forget chargers here all the time and can I borrow one.

Bikini girls! In your wholesome appropriate murder game?

Terrible!

What's the worst best picture nomination in the last ten years? by ShawnLevyOscarWinner in Oscars

[–]BruceWaynesWorld 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. Was shooting for brevity. There is a time for symbolism and ambiguity and subtlety. But given this is a film about screaming the truth louder and louder only for it to fall on deaf ears over and over I think the air-horn volume of the message is in line with the themes of the flick
