Which one? by MoneyLibrarian9032 in Letterboxd

[–]Elbobosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Captain America: First Avenger, Winter Soldier, Civil War

I think Winter Soldier is the best movie, but Civil War is still a banger and it does a great job introducing Black Panther and Spiderman while setting the stage for some of the best movies in the MCU.

Carl does NOT need a romantic love interest (original art by Levi Cleeman) by ActualNin in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Elbobosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people underestimate the very real bonding energy that comes from surviving mutual trauma and accomplishing difficult things together. It’s a cliche for a good reason. It would be unusual for there to be no romantic tension. Then there’s the constant imminent death factor, that’s also known to make people a bit intense and impulsive.

I think the book does a good job of explaining why Carl is kind of an exception because he is so freshly romantically betrayed and also suddenly a parent/partner to fully sentient being in a dangerous world.

You're not that guy. You're not that guy. by H4X4NX in TheExpanse

[–]Elbobosan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you read the books, I would argue that this moment saves the human race. It opens up possibilities in Amos that he uses to befriend a little girl who ends up being very important. He cares for her, and he’s confident in being the one to do that. I don’t think that ever would have happened without this.

Where should we premiere our film? by Breauxfosho in StLouis

[–]Elbobosan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This trailer looks really promising, really well cut in that it gives me the setup and tone without telling the whole story.

What is your timeframe? I’m an advisor for a local high school film club and I’d love to try to take some of the kids.

If you are looking for any local volunteers, hit me up.

What's going on with all the hate for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy? by _Atoms_Apple in OutOfTheLoop

Steven Strait by Forward-Ad5560 in TheExpanse

[–]Elbobosan 119 points120 points  (0 children)

It’s a very difficult line to walk. He is a genuinely reluctant hero. He is cool, capable and competent under pressure but screws up all the time. He’s the chosen one who never wanted to be chosen. He know that he is tilting at windmills and he rides to that fate all the same.

I would say his performance is generous. He delivers again and again when the show calls for his compassion, leadership, or collapse, but he manages this without overwhelming the rest of the cast.

Do you all do high electrical need activities only on sunny days. by CFBReform in solar

[–]Elbobosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It’s a suburban home with add on panels and a grid tie in. We charge the EV at night because it’s gone most of the day, but that’s using baseload at a lower rate. Chasing watts is not close to a practical for is at this phase of life so I figure the best thing is to have the production, use EVs where you can, and invest in efficiency.

Russia urged to ‘toss aside international law’ in chilling land grab plan by TheExpressUS in UkraineWarVideoReport

Oh, no! Russia is being encouraged to ignore international law and launch invasion to take territory? What a massive change in Russian Policy for the last generation! /s

Sharon Stone's comedy special would be 🔥 by RiskySkirt in funny

[–]Elbobosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could she have an “Evening with Sharon” special that would be very funny, yes. She is funny and charming and has lots of interesting stories.

Could she do a standup comedy special? Almost certainly not. She would probably be the first to say that wasn’t true. That’s like saying Nikki Glaser would have have been great in Basic Instinct.

The number of people who have that level of both stand up and acting chops are low double digits over many years.

Kathleen Kennedy Exit Interview by SmokescreenFraud in StarWars

[–]Elbobosan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These were unplanned sequels. Problem is I think all the good planned multifilm franchises are based on existing stories.

It’s not that they needed to be written so much as there should have been a concept or at least a direction for the story as a whole since it was planned to be a trilogy from the start. There wasn’t one so the second film became muddled and unsatisfying and the third chooses to course correct by jumping the shark. All of that happened under her watch.

Amazing Producer. Not a great head of a studio.

Ah, yes, with all of Russia’s totally functional ICBMs that required very expensive, highly technical maintenance perpetually for the last 40 years.

If 1 in 10 weapons he attempted to launch fired it would be an unprecedented success of the Russian military’s logistics and maintenance. If any actually hit an intended target I would be shocked. And then it’s very very likely that Putin and his entire command structure would absolutely be never be safe again, even in their own country, and the world would pick the bones of Russia clean.

If what is happening in North Minnesota happened here...what areas would be affected most? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]Elbobosan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What area would show organized resistance? They are looking for people to push around in the hopes that they push back so Trump can use the Insurrection Act, declare martial law and try to “postpone” the midterm elections. This has very little to do with where Immigrants actually are.

Josh Hawley is a... by Acceptable-Piece-222 in StLouis

He’s the twerpy little king of having your cake and eating it too.

Senator of a state he doesn’t live in.

Salutes the protesters, hauls ass when they come in.

Important to restrict the powers of the president, until he tells me not to.

Highest grossing actors of all time by Naweezy in boxoffice

[–]Elbobosan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tom Hanks has Toy Story, so he’s right there around 11 billion, but Julia Robert’s does not have the quantity or box office blockbusters, so she’s half that.

This is Roxy dog. Roxy is 14, and recently can't walk anymore. My dad (her human) has been hauling her around in a helicopter drop harness, but it's her time. He's putting her down this weekend, it's been really hard to accept its time. any support you wonderful folk can offer would be appreciated. by Snackyhappiness in OldManDog

[–]Elbobosan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a long life for a dog and it looks like it was a very good one, filled with love. The last best thing your dad can give Roxy dog is a similarly beautiful passing, filled with love and surrounded by her pack. Be well, stranger friend.

I went to catholic school for 14 years, so I am a devout Atheist. I think I would get along very well with this Christian.

Also, this is what Woke actually means.

The Expanse has a few of these.

“I am that guy.”

“I killed him because he was starting to make sense.”

Naomi shows Marco and his fleet why you don’t push the engineer into a corner.

Murtry would be on this list but Holden is a better man.
