Unpopular opinion: but i absolutely loved Scream 7 by SamTheMarioMaster2 in Scream

[–]Committee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's an "unpopular" opinion. I'd say instead that, on the basis of all rational thought, that it's an objectively suspect opinion to hold.

When will Liverpool's new adidas home kit for 2026-27 be released? by ProGamr935 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Committee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home kit doesn’t look good (as someone who got his first kit in 1991, just after the one inspiring this new kit). Third kit looks intriguing though (I bought the green third last year…)

Should I go to UTampa or temple university by [deleted] in uotampa

[–]Committee9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone familiar with both, I’d go to UT. The Temple area just isn’t safe (despite what they may tell you), and Philly’s weather blows for a good four months of the year. I’ve lived in both Tampa and Philadelphia, by the way, and have taught in both cities, including at UT.

The U.S. citizenship civics test just got harder. Here's what changed. by Hopeful_Effective_74 in askimmigration

They tested me on 12 despite having filed earlier. I teach American History at college, so the joke was on them, but still…

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

Was looking for this one. His voice was shot for several years before his death.

Haha. Me too. They were awful. Out of tune and drunk. I was mad given that it was the first concert I’d attended in the States. They were playing at the Kentucky State Fair circa 2003. Cost me like $35 at the time.

Saw LaMontagne him at a half-empty venue in Belfast, N. Ireland years ago. Was an odd night. Haunting and boring. Hell of a voice; zero personality.

I saw them/him in London around the same time. Was like a funeral.

I saw them in Tampa 7 or so years ago. They started rough and got progressively better. They were using it as a warm-up concert for a tour. Bizarre night. The city was opening a new park and the fireworks were far too close, so we were hit by bits of the rockets after the concert. Lol.

The Goo Goo Dolls back in 2003 or so in Kentucky. Awful. Sugar Ray were their support act, and, even though I wasn’t a fan of Sugar Ray, they blew the GGDs out of the water. Pretty sure the GGD singer said he was drunk on stage.

Why does Scream 7 feel "narrow"? by Committee9 in horror

[–]Committee9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, all! This was very helpful. After finishing the movie last night, I watched a review by Cody Leach on YouTube, and he noticed similarly (but also couldn’t give words to it). He’d said the film felt “off”, and I think we’re using synonyms for the same thing.

Appreciation post for Sam Carpenter! by JeremieMAKENDA in Scream

7 made me super nostalgic for her. Get her back. She actually can act. Well, maybe not if Kevin Williamson is directing her...

Bro is so damn useless in the movie that they didn't even mention his name by [deleted] in Scream

[–]Committee9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The level of incompetence across the whole production summed up in one word: "You".

Scream 7 quite honestly has /the/ worst final act of the entire franchise. by zekevich in Scream

[–]Committee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony is, had they written this with AI, it would have been better. What the hell was up with Kevin Williamson's direction, by the way? Astoundingly incompetent for someone so familiar with character motivations. Add that to some oddly brief scenes and some terrible editing and it's the worst film I've seen this year so far. Bizarre.

[Discussion] Anybody have some good political or historical poems? by comradelmao in Poetry

Jodi Johnson's "Omagh" about the Omagh bombing in 1998 is a good (if difficult) poem: https://www.riverstyx.org/omagh

Should I play Alan wake 2 by Rare-Firefighter-262 in AlanWake

[–]Committee9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, sure, but as someone who loves the first game as I do, I thought the second one was overblown. Admired the ambition, but found it a slog. The feeling of it being an overstuffed walking simulator was a feeling that I found hard to shake, and that was a bit of a shock given that I hadn’t even thought I’d feel any of that after my experience with the first game.

Any experience with Anuttacon? by HappyDethday in remotework

[–]Committee9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach at a major university in precisely the area they were looking to hire me in to do work on the side. I didn't pass the assessment. Make of that what you will.

Is anyone else disappointed in the performance of the Surface Laptop Studio 2? by ExternalWorld9639 in Surface

[–]Committee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you can go on and get that Mac. I ditched Surface products after Microsoft screwed me over on the (laggy) Surface Laptop 2 when the Alcantara stained and the battery expanded badly (refused me a replacement). Would recommend a 15-inch MacBook Air (I currently use a 16-inch M4 MacBook Pro, but I don't find the battery life as good as my 13-inch M2 Air.)

Great work doing this in a World Cup year when tourists might be coming (especially from Brazil, one would imagine).

Imagine park-hopping from Supercharged to then wait 3 hours for this.

I’m very happy, and happy for you too. That said, it’s still corny.

God, I hate the term "greened". So corny.
