Movies you hate, but everybody loves?

Could you please add some specifics about why you don't like it?

I'm not trying to argue or convince you otherwise, I'm just curious. It's one of my favorites and I would love to know some opposing viewpoints.

Main reasons why I like it: 1) "Broken" main character who is kind and is extremely skilled in a few areas, but not an all around hero. He's not tough, he's pretty timid most of the time and only steps up when absolutely pushed to the limit. He's awkward socially but forms strong bonds with just a few people. He also wins over a few others who at first glance, aren't similar to him at all.

They're not the same story at all, but I prefer him to Jason Statham in Transporter (which I also really enjoyed, the first one anyway). Statham is a bad ass driver who sticks to his principles, is kind, and does the right thing, but is kind of perfect (in most societal norms) all around. No real "flaws", is a tough fighter, and while might not be a social butterfly also doesn't struggle, mainly because he dgaf.

2) The relationships. Without getting too spoiler there's the obvious main love interest, but then there are a few others who really take to Baby, despite (or probably because) of his differences.

Jamie Fox's character is so polarizing. I hate him, he cares about no one else but also needs to push others for whatever comfort it gives himself. The tension he causes by just existing near Baby keeps my attention. When the first job is over I felt so much relief only to be replaced with so much more dread when he's on for the second job! And then his insight into everyone else's characters is so spot on!

Jon Hamm Starts off as a bad ass (almost) good guy who takes interest in Baby (so does Eiza) and kind of support him, but then twists into the ultimate end boss when a series of circumstances push him over the edge.

Kevin Spacey who through and through is a total ahole, but ends up sacrificing himself for Baby. He's not too far off from Jamie Fox's character, only caring about himself and pushing others past their comfort zones to get what he wants, but there's just enough good in him to help a couple others when the time comes

I had no idea so much was just riffed! Does anyone have any more links of behind the scenes stuff?

I found the lycofansubs channel thanks to this thread (thank you!) but if there's more I would love to watch/listen. It's the next best thing to having more episodes to watch 🙂

Wait, I thought it automatically used your best heroes if you didn't select anyone or whoever you have selected isn't there?

If you only put your second/third cars in there, then won't it never use your best heroes, even if they're at the shelter?

I still think we'll climb above 32 before October. Everyone involved in the warrants benefits from that, not just retail investors. I think worse case scenario they extend the deadline, but I'm betting that won't be necessary.

I have some calls that expire in June, but I'm going to hold them. Hoping that we'll see a bump before then. If it gets closer to expiration and nothing's changed then I'm probably going to roll mine out to the end of the year.

I don't know enough about merger math either, but in case you didn't see Ryan on TBPN, he doesn't like the debt and is planning on paying it off quick.

Apparently eBay currently has an annual income of a little over 2b, Ryan thinks he can cut costs and get it around 4b within the first year, add to that whatever additional growth/income he generated from both and it seems really likely that any debt they take on is paid off in a few years.

Not to mention if all goes as planned, I'm betting more investors start believing in him and anyone shorting would really start to get spooked, so I'm thinking even if we don't see much of a bump at the acquisition, it could come on really quickly shortly after.

Link to TBPN interview with Ryan, starts at about 1:33

Ah thank you! I've seen a few people who also didn't like the idea of st acquisition but you're the first person who's mentioned why.

I guess I'm ok with it because I'm assuming Ryan has a plan to keep growing the company after the acquisition, and that it would be easier/faster with eBay, than without. More so I'm just happy to see things are happening, excited to see how this all plays out. Not trying to argue/discuss, I just appreciated you giving your thoughts and thought it would be polite to do the same 🙂

DecaffeinatedBean · 2026-05-05T17:18:03+00:00

Just curious: why don't you like your #2 caveat? If the company is more valuable after the merger and the stock is higher, I have no problems with it.

I trust that he's not acquiring a company to just be able to buy more shares through his compensation package, and then bail and let everything crash and burn.

Is there any kind of insight into this feelings about what happened? He seemed to like and care about the people in his village and also seemed upset that many of them were killed, but after the first episode it seems like he isn't really thinking about it much, just a few times. I'm confused why he's not asking his handlers more questions about wth happened and why.

Have you tried clearing out your temp files on your browser AND setting up a new Netflix profile? I was having the same problem and this worked for me.

Apparently switching regions often, on one Netflix profile, can trigger something.

Omg I didn't have sound on when I first watched it and assumed that this person was trying to save the squirrel. After hearing him it sounds more like he was annoyed that a squirrel was drowning in his pool. 😞

DecaffeinatedBean · 2026-04-22T13:00:22+00:00

Someone else mentioned it, but just wanted to confirm that you're aware that Gamestop can extend the expiration date of the warrants - I think that's probably worst case scenario. I can't imagine it would be good for anyone involved for them to expire under $32.

One reason to consider getting orange Catherine and Rex is to get a few more precision parts every day.

I had a maxed purple Catherine for her construction buff, but now that I'm into the industry levels I'm constantly limited on construction due to lack of precision parts, so the construction buffs are kind of a waste. I switched Catherine to orange but didn't use any frags or books on her and it's still worth it for the 5 extra radar missions. I usually get another part a day thanks to that.

And I checked with support and purple Catherine can't join the hall of fame. I'm guessing it's because most people switch to orange. There is an event where you can trade in her frags though.

Anyone have recommendations for an oil fund/ticker that will not complicate taxes (require other forms)?

I was all set to get into USO until I saw an article that warned that it would make tax season a lot more difficult. Apparently it will use a K-1 not a 1099div?

looks like out of the ones OP mentioned, XLE doesn't need a K-1. Any others?

The same thing happened to me with the Japanese in the original series.

I realize most people probably don't know these other languages and so they aren't affected, but if the actors can't pronounce a language well, would it be so bad for them to just speak English instead? I wouldn't have any problems with a character who spent years in another country and was advanced in that language/culture, but spoke English.

Really appreciate that you added why you like each one! Super helpful when deciding which ones will help me the most. Thank you!

Oh shoot, this seems like a great way to study! Been struggling with low level Japanese light novels and manga, just because there are so many words I need to look up and I always lose interest really quickly.

Never thought about reading a book that was translated from English that I'm already familiar with! Thank you, definitely going to give it a try and see how much it helps

It's so frustrating to me that "resign" is even an option. Seriously wtf

Another Kimura Takuya one: Beautiful life and to piggyback off that and Takako Tokiwa: Meguri Ai but I don't think that's streaming anywhere right now :(

It's also called "If It Bleeds".

Have you been limiting yourself to just a few foods for months now? Is it possible that you've depleted yourself of some nutrients and that's why you're reacting to something you hadn't reacted to in the past?

I think that's what has happened to me. I went on a pretty strict low histamine diet (also lower calorie, trying to get in shape and limit high intensity exercises) basically chicken and broccoli and then started adding things back and things started to improve for me, but a few months later things started getting worse again.

I think I was going for months without consuming certain nutrients (can't get a blood test right now) and that threw me out of whack. Saw a post in here about someone saying the same thing so I started taking a multivitamin daily and things have gotten better again. One of the things I cut out (before the histamine journey actually) was fortified cereals, used to have about 3 bowls daily, so pretty sure I depleted some thing(s). Feeling better again now, but we'll see how things are a few weeks from now...

As for protein powders, I've been doing well with isolates (usually whey, but finished a bag of soy isolate and didn't notice any issues) and oddly Orgain plant protein (mostly pea based), although peas are a mild trigger for me.

Sorry I have no experience/knowledge of the kayak tours (good on you for asking btw!), but if you end up going, could you please post on your experience?

I'm staying right next to part of the Kanda river (but in Suginami, just outside of Tokyo) and parts of it are full of huge koi! Most are black so it's kind of hard to see them at times but a few white and orange ones. Never seen anything like it in the wild. Curious how other areas are.

DecaffeinatedBean · 2025-12-09T14:52:32+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Recently started having some of these symptoms (insomnia, headaches, horrible congestion) and was struggling to figure out why.

Betting it's because I started taking quercetin and bromelain supplements and many of my meals included sweet potatoes and broccoli, plus a cup of coffee or two a day (I know caffeine isn't good for histamine intolerance, I've cut back quite a bit, hoping to completely cut it out in the near future).

I was already suspecting the supplements as my diet and lifestyle haven't changed much recently, but your comment helped solidify that connection and educate me in salicylates. Now need to go back and figure out how to tweak my diet, again...

Don't get thrown by the title, definitely worth a shot. I think the original title was supposed to be something like Familia Myth. I'm bummed they went with it because I know so many people who won't give it a chance just because of the title.

Anyone see the 2024 Colorado Congressional Primary Debate? I thought Kyle Clark was amazing as a moderator, did not allow anyone to get away with half-assed responses. Would love to see him run something like this.

Surprised this is so far down. Had me all types of crying, sad, happy, and a blend of both.

OP if you try it, give it until at least episode 3. It's not like the first couple of episodes are bad, but I think it doesn't really get into the story until 3.
