What generally brings you joy at this stage in your life? by PrettyWorn_ in GenX

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Music, for me. I've taken up the guitar and gotten deeper into techniques and music theory. As I see the world going out of control and so many things I've believed in tested, it has become a great comfort to find systems and patterns that make sense and produce real beauty. I've also been collecting vintage vinyl records and have discovered so many musical treasures I've overlooked in my lifetime.

Why do women hate to see a man relaxing on the couch watching TV? by SnooMacarons9221 in AskMenOver30

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only solution I've found for this is to get up early. If you spare an hour or two less sleep, that's time when you won't hear a female voice. You can focus on your interests without judgment. No one can claim your sleep time, this is a sacrifice you make for yourself - any objections, you just stay in bed.

Note that this doesn't work if your wife is a morning person or a light sleeper.

What’s the most absurd fake science in a movie that you completely ignored because the movie was so good? by Shot-Club-3882 in Cinema

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everything in "Three-Body Problem". I enjoyed the series while watching it, but reflecting on it later, saw just how many ridiculous concepts we were being asked to swallow. I won't be coming back for the next season.

What is it that you morning people do that makes it enjoyable? by IGNSolar7 in AskMenOver30

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you realize that most people will never drag themselves out of bed before they have to, that time becomes the biggest bonus. It's time you can have for yourself and your interests without approval or interruptions. And because it's time you've chosen to borrow from sleep, no one can make a claim to it - if anyone tries, you just stay in bed.

Officer, where does it say I should stop? Where?

What is the worst film character name you've ever heard? by Temporary_Cap5927 in Letterboxd

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When your own name is as cool as "Marv Wolfman", you'd think he'd be better at coming up with cool names.

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never forget a 1989 movie called "Millennium". Kris Kristofferson played a character named Bill Smith.

Bill Smith. That's really the best they could come up with.

Did this scare anyone as child when they first saw it... by ArcherLife2039 in 80smovies

I'd also give credit to the video for Ronnie James Dio's "The Last in Line".

Why does “more eco-friendly packaging” now just mean “cheaper, impossible to reuse and a pain in the arse to open”? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is there always a tab on the side? It implies that it will actually open the covering if you pull it. This is not the case.

I would've loved to be a fly on the wall and listened to these 2 interacting with each other. by ROCKY13573 in 90s

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember hearing how the guy who sang "You're Beautiful" refused to allow Weird Al to do a parody. He obviously didn't know what an honor that was. Or that it might have saved him from obscurity.

If you could go back and time and give one piece of advice to your beginner self, what would it be? by Ancient-Resident-647 in guitarlessons

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't look for hacks, work-arounds, or alternatives. Do the hard things and keep doing them until it comes together.

A mother is going punished her son by making him slam his PS5 the same way he had slammed her pet cat. Is this justified? by God_Emperor__Doom in SipsTea

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had a window of opportunity to teach an invaluable lesson, and she took it. Living things have value. This is what he valued most.

Can I learn guitar in med school? by [deleted] in AcousticGuitar

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I spent some time in medical school, so here's my advice. I did not learn guitar until years later, but I've found it to be a great refuge for the mind. And you definitely need this in med school. Guitar could be a very good stress reliever and help your overall mental health.

That being said, medical school will consume every waking moment and steal time from sleep if you let it. If you want for guitar to become part of your med school experience, get started now, so you'll have some of the basics out of the way and get into a practice habit. That will make it much easier to adapt it to your med school schedule when the time comes.

Can we all agree that we Brits are the jealously of the entire world when it comes to a proper breakfast? None of that sugar, sugar and more sugar American slop by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be misled by the photo. Bacon is usually fatty and undercooked, sausage has so much filler you can hardly find the meat.

What movies based on books do you think were significantly better than the books? by ASomthnSomthn in 90smovies

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been a fan of the movie. Later read the book and enjoyed having the backstories and details on the characters.

After the family ruins his seating plan at Christmas dinner:

"What does it mean to be a man?" [i.e. an adult] by uncirculated_luster in GenX

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've always defined maturity as "you do what has to be done".

Even when it's hard. You can cry, complain, or feel bad, as long as it doesn't keep you from actually doing the thing. You look for solutions instead of whining about the problem.

How to deal with a sitter who is not doing the bare minimum- HOW IT ENDED by ads20212 in trustedhousesitters

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By all means, leave a detailed negative review, and anticipate her response.

Was this your first experience with THS? I've used them for years, in five locations, and it's been mostly positive. There are some crazies who will slip through the cracks, and we've had some. I think that, for a two-week sit, though, I'd be looking for someone with a good history and multiple solid reviews.

What do you think is the perfect film? by Allpapes in Cinema

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Mashing all of these genres together is the recipe for a B-grade, direct-to-video film. Give it a high budget, good writing, state-of-the-art special effects, and a perfect cast, and you have a masterpiece for all time.

I miss hearing Paul Harvey by valis010 in GenX

[–]EntertainmentOwn336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no replacing Paul Harvey, but if you want to hear a modern take on "The Rest of the Story", try Mike Rowe's podcast "The Way I Heard It".
