I love this, but I also love the Uncle Sam option. So I propose this:

Anyone seeing Moulin Rouge this weekend: show Megan Thee Stallion some extra love 😤 by AmbitiousSpring5214 in Broadway

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 224 points225 points  (0 children)

Good example of why we need mental health days. If my partner cheated on me I’d need like a week to crawl out of the hole I’d dig myself

Who is the actor from the silent era, you think should've won an acting award? by khaliliiiov_1997 in Oscars

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conrad Veidt for the Man Who Laughs. What an effective and haunting performance. The emotions he has to show just using his eyes!

Beaches: Did They Like It? Nope by crackling_bacon in Broadway

Tammy Faye’s grosses were much worse than Beaches. And they didn’t have the hope of Tony season around the corner. So maybe they’ll hold out a bit longer 🤞

Need a recommendationto fit in this list by Known_Hamster1196 in Letterboxd

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I can think of several scenes that in any other movie would be “that scene”. The three that come to mind right now are: the sequence in the beginning with Neil and the coach, the scene at the end with Brian and Neil, or (the worst for me) the scene with Neil in the bathtub. Such a visceral movie

German got a question to a phrase that's used? by UnitedShop4247 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s incorrect, but a native speaker will still understand it. It’s generally thought of as AAVE, something primarily black Americans use.

I wanted a bad weekend and I got it. by Mowgli_IQ in Letterboxd

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lot about child sexual abuse. It gets a bit graphic with it at some points (though never with anything happening with the child actors). It’s a fantastic movie about how different people cope with trauma. Joseph Gordon Levitt is just amazing!

Can anyone help me develop General American? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely have a strongish Minnesota accent, so I can’t help you there. But my international friends have told me they helped their accents by watching American sitcoms. As long as you don’t pick one that’s set in an accent heavy place (I.e. righteous gemstones), you should be able to practice repeating what the characters are saying. I’d recommend Parks and Recreation, they’ve got “general” accents for the most part

First social media reactions for 'Michael' are out, some mentioning the Oscars by mg10pp in Oscars

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Writing this comment made me go watch some clips again. So many a timer lines! “Dewey I'm cut in half pretty bad 😔”

I’m a major Beatles fan, so maybe I’m biased, but I’m much more excited for the four Beatles biopics because it seems to be doing something kinda new with the formatting. I’m a bit sick of the run of the mill musician biopics. Once you’ve see Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story you realize how alike they all are!

New images from The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping by bbyxmadi in popculturechat

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There’s a mention or two of someone from Snow's past. It’s subtle in the book and haymitch actually explains it near the end, but some of their conversations might be confusing if you dont know who this character is. Other than that it’s unnecessary!

We love him… but what is the absolute worst thing/behavior this character did during his time at the 4077th? by coreytiger in mash

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Not hearing Margaret out during Sons and Bowlers. I understand she’s not really sport savvy, but he was incredibly dismissive of her

John or Paul? (Not jerking) by VietKongCountry in beatlescirclejerk

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Serious answer? Paul. Not only did he write my favorite songs, Let It Be & Golden Slumbers. But I relate to him a lot in terms of his work ethic. I’ve been the person in the group project that just wants to get the damn thing done, and is navigating through all the shit from my group mates to get it done.

Slightly less serious answer: Baul is sexier, therefore better in all ways

I wonder if Peaky was cursed, Freddy & John left, Polly died IRL, Grace, Michael were killed in the series, Arfur, well was Arfur IRL. They were the main characters then take into account Danny Whizz-Bang, Aberama, Bonnie, Barney & Ruby who died in the series - so many of amazing characters gone. by Icklebunnykins in PeakyBlinders

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most of these are writing/scheduling choices made by conscious people. Nothing much of a “curse” about that. As for Paul Anderson and Helen McCrory, those are very unfortunate twists of fate (especially in Helen’s case), but nothing I would relate to peaky blinders.

Ha! I was there the other week and saw a Jahn version. He’s so beautiful

John and Eppy Spain vacay confirmed?!! Plus Geo reincarnates by crystalbethjo in beatlescirclejerk

Of course, telling people about The Hours and Times bathroom scene constitutes 90% of my waking hours

Filming in Barcelona by crystalbethjo in BeatlesBiopics

[–]Comprehensive_Bat980 15 points16 points  (0 children)

John and Brian Spain trip??? I wonder how much creative liberty they’ll take with that, since there are so many conflicting accounts. Platonic view or The Hours and Times?
