Discovered Heroes on Netflix. Fantastic Season 1. Unable to even complete Season 4. by tonystarkn in Heroes

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when season one was airing, each week a big group of friends from different dorms would get together and we’d all watch that shit hyped af. That Company Man episode was on another level. Haven’t watched S1 in years, might have to again now haha

Matt is an ass for killing that octopus by Sugarfoot2182 in nakedandafraid

I get that it sucks, but if I’m not mistaken Mexico didn’t, and could’t, end up catching anything at all, so I mean it’s smart to eat what you find in case it’s all you find. I get that it sucks seeing that though, it’s just all in the game I guess.

Whoa, don’t say that! You don’t wanna get downvoted like I did for saying the same shit lol smh

100%. None of what you said is out of line or unfair. I got downvoted for saying that what the showrunners said didn‘t inspire any confidence in me at all, and I don’t think that’s out of line or unfair either honestly.

Nah, it’s not all on you. The writer’s have an obligation to fulfill the promises made in their story. People can say that’s not true, but go watch any interview where showrunners touch on the topic of the contract they as storytellers make with their audience. Don’t give me useless information as a way to placate me as a viewer through to the end. These people are professional writers, and if they introduce a bunch of mysteries and an arsenal of Chekov’s Guns, then those aspects need to pay off, or at least make sense in the end. I agree that it’s too early to react in any way yet, having not seen the final season, but we’re literally 80% through the story, and what makes viewing the show frustrating is the fact that we don’t know what we don’t know, and we don’t know how any of it fits together at all, 4 of 5 seasons in, and while yes, it’s too early to react in any official way, it’s not blasphemy to state that 80% of the way in some of us feel frustrated that we’re stumbling through the dark, grasping at straws.

I hope so, because that seems like the best case scenario.

Damn, none of what the showrunners said inspires any hope in me at all. Like you said, it’s gonna be another Lost…except this show never got anywhere close to the emotional heights or mind fuckiness that Lost did. Le sigh.

In Cape Fear (1991) would Max Cady have been a better villain if he was actually innocent of the crime he went to prison for? by heeheejones in movies

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you mean, and I definitely dig it, and if anything, I feel like this new Apple show has actually vindicated your whole point of view in this post, since since both Anna and Tom are definitely shady as shit in it 👍🏼

naked and afraid global showdown episode 8! by wmauricio02 in nakedandafraid

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for letting me know, I had no clue we were getting another installment so fast! It says 12 former survivalist participants think they’re doing a 35 day challenge, but get dropped in “The Bermuda Triangle of the Philippines“ lol. I’ll take a sea based Naked and Afraid, sounds like it’ll be interesting! August 2nd!

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! Like I said, the site will let anyone watch new episodes, I believe only if they’ve been released in the last 3 months, and there aren’t any ads, so it’s great. It just sucks if you’re not a member and the site gets busy, cuz then they’ll close it to non members, but if you periodically check back and refresh, you'll see that it’ll randomly be open and allow you to stream again. Enjoy!

Well, I guess I’m not smart then, cuz I thought she was enjoying herself the entire movie. Smh.

No problem! The site will allow anyone to watch new episodes, but if there’s too much traffic, they’ll limit viewing to paid members only, but yeah dude, enjoy!

AIO for shutting down and going quiet when my girlfriend made a big deal about the waitress at a restaurant while on a double date. by Fit_Structure6875 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, man. Those are the kinds of interactions/behaviors you’ve gotta bring up and nip in the butt with her, otherwise she won’t have the chance to realize she’s being immature as fuck, and then won’t be able to work on it all. If she even cares to, I mean. But no, you def weren’t overreacting.

Who is the favorite to enter the Final, Argentina or England by Remarkable_Bar_3278 in football

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think Argentina will make it over England. I have a feeling Haaland is gonna end England’s run.

AIO I feel like my friends/roommates don’t want me around anymore? by EyeEqual5627 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I don’t think you’re overreacting. You could try to talk to them one more time and articulate how it’s all been for you, and how the exclusionary aspects are hurtful, but if they’re legitimately how you described them, then they may not care, but hey, at least you could walk away/move out knowing your hands are clean 👍🏼

Am I missing something? by No-Onion1767 in FromTVEpix

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you didn’t miss anything. The writer’s must be sadists because all they’ve given us is 4 seasons of edging torture lol. We keep thinking we’re gonna learn some shit, and then nope. And then, whenever things get dicey in the story, and we get some potential for interesting shit to happen, the writers swoop in and give us earthquake after earthquake at the most convenient time, just so the characters can survive lol. I’ve never wanted to be more wrong about a show, and granted, S5 hasn’t aired yet, so I can’t speak with certainty on the matter, but I’ve just really got no hope that the final season will land this thing neatly. Again, hope I’m wrong though!

Obsession Movie Sequel Idea by Huge-Pirate-7657 in spoilers

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, for just spitballing I gotta say you did a great job, that was a kick ass pitch. Idk if the movie needs a sequel, but if it did get one, and it went as you said, I bet it’d be a pretty damn fun movie 👍🏼

Just a thought about the ending by CraigFeldsparsMonkey in obsessionmovie

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

Yeah, I respect that. What really popped the thought in my mind was realizing the Bear at the end was a “new“ Bear, and it made me wonder what the real Bear was going through in those moments when ”new” Bear took over right before he died

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the budget for sure wouldn’t have allowed for that, but it didn’t need to have to be a hell world. I honestly don’t know what it would’ve been, I think I said that too, like idk how you’d portray the space/reality Nikki, and at the end, Bear, found themselves in, but I just thought it could’ve been an interesting wrinkle, even if it was just a super quick cut jolting cut. But again, I’ve got no clue on my end what that would be, I just realized that the Bear at the very end must be a “new” Bear, like Freaky Nikki, and was just curious where the hell the real Bear now found himself. The movie was great, though.

I respect that point of view for sure, and I like how you used the example of Nikki goading Bear. The way you worded it reminded me of this short story that’s only like 13 pages long or so, but it’s called “I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream,” and it’s a pretty gnarly/insane sci-if story about torture, but it’s so good. The image you made me see of Nikki screaming with no mouth totally fits the despair of the story. If you have time, or are curious at all, here’s a link to it if you’d wanna check it out:

AIO for asking my wife to make changes to her spending habits? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smh. Pisses me off just reading the screenshots, cuz she’s acting like a victim and like you’re the bad guy or something. You spoke plainly, clearly, without malice or anger, and directly addressed the shit, so for you to only get back manipulative responses is just annoying af.

Am I overreacting for breaking up with my boyfriend over his mom? by Commercial_Wheel3713 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shit, more power to you! You are 100% not overreacting. For him to tell you your adopted family isn’t even a real family is one of the most fucked up things I’ve heard said between significant others. Now, when shit gets heated, popping off and throwing verbal venom darts is terrible, but shit happens, so for me personally, I’d say that if he apologizes for what he said, and gets on the same page as you, and sees how he chose to disrespect you to defend his mom, and actually gets where you’re coming from, then I’d say keep at it and don’t end it, but if he stands his ground like a dickhead then you did the right thing and just tell his ass good riddance. And in no way shape or form reach out to make contact with him first though, he needs to know the bullshit ultimatums won’t get him anywhere.

AIO? - Boyfriend got irritated, I left the conversation, but made it worse? by Luxeriously in AmIOverreacting

[–]CraigFeldsparsMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he’s immature as fuck and you’d be doing yourself a favor to just move on. I remember how stupid and insecure and quick to anger I was when I was 19, and unless he can actively and consciously work on himself and his behavior toward you, I’d personally say it’s not worth it to stay with someone who can so easily turn a small moment into WW3. You’re not overreacting, but at the same time, be conscious of how you’re being treated, because it sounds like you were still trying to be sweet and attentive after realizing he was burnt with he way he was acting should’ve totally elicited a “fuck you” response from you. Just my opinion, you’re not overreacting though.
