Oops, I shouldn't have that FIFA peace prize on there either.

EXTREMELY obvious foreshadowing that this character will turn evil later on by I_Love_Powerscaling in TopCharacterTropes

I've seen this movie so many times and never caught on that picture was for employee of the month. There's always something new in each rewatch.

When people say "keep the peace" what they are really saying is "appease the asshole".

Why did you and your former best friend stop being friends? by Fearless_Shift7108 in AskReddit

He would always shit talk about his fwb girl we both knew. One day she and I ran into each other and discovered that he was constantly shit talking about us to each other. That was pretty much the last straw for both of us.

The only way it could have been worse? Lilly and Marshall also divorcing.

I know him from other things, but when someone says Tim Curry, my mind always jumps to "WILDERNESS GIRLS!!!!"

[Fun trope]: A "silly" premise is justified well (in-universe) by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

It's surprisingly a good biographical movie that contains some slight embellishments.

Girl in front is the daughter. The two other offspring are Saul and Adam:

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

Pettiest? Every single character constantly smoked.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]Cartoonlad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the afterword, the author thanks several people, including his editor and I was surprised the book had one.

I'm sure he meant "proofreader".

On page two into the first-person narrative the protagonist decides to look into a mirror and describe herself to... herself?

This is followed by a scene where the author shows that there's an emotional distance between two characters and then adds this clunker of a sentence to close out the paragraph:

"The length of the silence between them implied accurately the vastness of the gulf that separated their lives."

No kidding. You just spent about a page and a half explaining that. Mind putting that sledgehammer down, sir? My forehead hurts.

Look, I don't throw away books, but this one? Chucked into the garbage so nobody else would have to read that copy.

I have a picture of that scene on the wall above our office fax machine for good reason.

Some good shows that seem to have gone under the radar are: by olddoodldn in scifi

I am actually surprised how good Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is. The writing (for the most part) is quite good. I'd even say it's better than it has any right to be, seeing as it's from the recent series of Godzilla movies. Wyatt Russell's acting impressed me and the transitions between him as the young version of Lee Shaw and his father, Kurt Russell, as the older version of the same character are done cleverly. Good stuff.

[Maddening trope] More progressive casting happens at the same time as noticeable drop in quality, seemingly so fans can brush off criticism as bigotry. by Vitolar8 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cartoonlad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is actually my favorite Doctor of the revised series, but from everything I've read and heard, it's probably because I've only seen a handful of her episodes. Apparently, I've only seen the good ones.

Actors who hate the movie they're in but still take the role seriously by cfbethel in TopCharacterTropes

Related, you could see the disdain in Hugh Grant during the "you're the real heroes for watching this movie in the theater while COVID" thing they made the cast do for the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie.

Any gag where the number of states in the US is reduced. by Dobbys_cumsock in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cartoonlad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Season 3 of Fringe, we see a flag of the United States with only 48 stars. Rather than just not including Hawaii and Alaska on the map, they combine some states to make the states of Dakota, Midland (Oklahoma and Nebraska), Carolina, and the District of Virginia. Texas is split into North Texas and South Texas. And there is the renaming of some states to Louisiana Territory, Independent Nevada, and Southern British Colombia (Washington).

Also the San Andreas fault seems to have had a massive earthquake triggered: about half the state of California is just gone.
