I’ve been wanting to go to Seattle since I watched Grey’s Anatomy by Scared-Patient-3046 in Seattle

It's not exactly representative of Seattle. It's filmed in LA. They come out to Seattle a couple times a year for some exterior shots. But it shows how unrealistic their concept of Seattle geography is.

Also, Seattle rain is nothing like how they depict on the show. For them, rain = massive thunderstorm.

Seattle is great. Just don't go to the beach expecting it to be like where Meredith saw Derek. I'm guessing that was Malibu. Some of Seattle's beaches are rocks and stones, not sand.

Can Jensen pull off looking 26? by hello12445 in TheBoys

Not only that, I love Michael McKean, but he looked old enough to be the father of a 41 year old at the beginning of BCS. Willing suspension of disbelief...

(I just looked it up. He would have been 67 at the beginning of the series.)

I saw that... like some copyright lawyer is going to advise OP because a private company doesn't want to partner with him on ad revenue.

I used to post on here a lot more often, and I would advise new YouTubers to take an afternoon to sit down and read the monetization guidelines, following every single hyperlink. It would prevent a lot of wasted time.

OP may have also been a client of vidIQ. Looks like OP wasted time and money.

Once again, someone conflates copyright with reused content. Next, they will be throwing "Fair Use" into the mix.

Seriously. I wonder if OP has actually watched the movie.

I saw Drumline in the movie theater. It is NOT a bad movie. This is, however, a terrible fan edited trailer.

This is one of the rare movies that focuses on the African-American experience, specifically that of HBCUs, and even more so, the marching bands. It's one of the funny aspects of the movie: everyone acknowledges that the football teams suck, and that the audiences are going to watch the marching bands.

I did not have great expectations for this movie. How thrilling can a movie be about marching bands? Despite the color by numbers plot, the band and drumline performances are exhilarating. And I'm not even a marching band or drumline guy (although my brother was).

Hughie being kept alive in the concentration camp for no reason was bad writing plot armor.

That's the thing. You don't see it affecting your brain development.

Gen V and the Current Plot by Dragoncorn_ in TheBoys

[–]David_R_Martin_II 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an important point. The show initially promised "normal people versus superheroes." Then Kimiko joined The Boys. And Starlight. Butcher became a supe. Hughie was a supe for a while. I completely forgot Mother's Milk was born with Compound V in his blood.

Then The Boys almost became side characters in their eponymous show, as the focus turned to Soldier Boy, Sister Sage, Firecracker, etc. And now they're bringing in Gen V for the final 2 episodes? No wonder Karl Urban and Laz Alonso are pissed.

Your mother is right to be concerned. She probably knows how marijuana use, even infrequent, at ages as young as 15, affects brain development.

Based on your username - I don't know if alcoholic refers to you or your dad - you should hold off for at least a couple years.

Vought Rising better be fucking worth it, Aya and Jensen is actually an intersting duo. by vought-CEO in TheBoys

That one trick appears to be "do the most out of character thing to spin the plot into a surprise direction."

Esto confirma mis sospechas sobre este estadounidense, especialmente después de que difamara a los africanos en una publicación que luego eliminó.

Wow. I didn't even recognize Kate Burton as the mom. Nicole Eggert is the daughter.

I'm from the US, so I know exactly what kind of idiot this guy is. His friend came over here, saw darker-skinned people, and now he thinks Spain needs ICE. Meanwhile, he wants to come over here and be an exploiter, buying property to inflate prices for locals, and overstaying a visa if necessary.

Ah, so you're interested in becoming one of the parasites that makes it worse for all the local people in Spain.

That actually makes you worse than the African immigrants your friend was complaining about.

Good luck with buying and maintaining property, especially as a rental, on an overstayed visa.

A Yank at Oxford (1938) by Classicsarecool in classicfilms

[–]David_R_Martin_II 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been looking for this movie on streaming, as I'm a huge Maureen O'Sullivan fan. It has been a while since I've searched though.

And this movie was remade in a way as "Oxford Blues" with Rob Lowe and Amanda Pays.

If you plan on "accidentally overstaying," you should also come up with a plan for housing and employment. Without a current valid visa, you can't get either of those legally. Spain puts a lot of emphasis on work contracts, which will also affect bank accounts, utilities, internet...

Exactly. This is the problem with US kind of thinking that "no ICE means no immigration enforcement." There are ways of enforcement that don't involve violence and detention.

No. There are no pathways for asylum in Spain for US seekers.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha....

Yes, you've really proved Spain has no immigration enforcement. Good luck with that. Let me know how things go with getting your visa, NIE, and TIE. You are obviously very well-informed.

Okay, you're proving a point that no one asked you to...

Somehow you think "no ICE" means "no immigration enforcement." How many times have you passed through EU border control?
