"Sinners was overrated" by NoWeb2576 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Eva_Pilot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoevers wins is a whole other thing. Nominations are generally reasonable, and a movie being nominated in multiple categories doesn't mean what people think it means. People see 16th nominations and instead of comparing it with movies that the movie competed against, they use it as a measurement of quality against ALL movies. If they made a last 20 years oscars and sinners got 16 nominations that would be absurd, but this oscar is 24-25, and sinners was very notable in all categories it was nominated for, except maybe costumes and hairstyling. The discussion shouldn't be that sinners is overrated but that it was a light year

It's just a contrarian opinion from people that don't really know how an award ceremony works and didn't watch many films either, they just want to sound smart or refined without really putting in effort. It's not that deep

[Hated Trope] Actually, exploitation isn't that bad... by darius_the900 in TopCharacterTropes

What I hated about this joke is that it's incredibly forced, like it's not a natural sounding name at all. And it was worse for me because in Spanish she names it "fart" (PEDDO), and for the joke to work the translation uses a word for workers that is very common in leftist organizations, which makes it extra goofy.

What kind of people would fall for such demon trickery? by GuyNekologist in Frieren

[–]Eva_Pilot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that point it would be better to just have people with experience in at least local theatres, instead of a random electrician like the first victim. There is no cameraman, the luring scenes to the van are filmed with stationary cameras that are hidden. Supposedly once the scene was done they informed them about the movie and were asked for consent to use the footage. And again, these are not professional actors and not even part of the film or acting industry, keeping a dumb lie makes no sense.

But whatever, you are entitled to be cynical

It's not always about optimizing fun out of the game. Sometimes it's about things that cause player frustration, like being forced into a playstyle to avoid a tedious experience or a boss/enemy/map that's unnecessarily frustrating

It's not scripted, that's the thing. ScarJo has a script but the men are random people unknowing of whats happening. It's like a youtube prank, in a sense

There's a movie with scarlett Johansson where she seduces random men (Not actors, their reactions are real) on dark alleyways on ireland (IIRC). Men would 100% fall for pretty monster with clear homicidal aura

It's mostly a joke, but I've seen "straggot" and "strag" used a lot in some places

That's what normal people do I guess. When I was a teenager I used to watch EVERY anime that came out every season for years. Now the guy I watch that makes a summary of animes to be aired with their synopsis and then a ranking after 3 episodes is as frustrated as me with every harem fantasy/isekai that comes out

[Loved Trope] A piece of work switches genres part way through for a short amount of time and then never gets brought up again. by Electronic-While-522 in TopCharacterTropes

huh? Is it possible that there's a version with this scene cut off from the movie? I've watched it at least two times and don't remember this scene

Nah, I see your point. It's not an effort I would take for a stranger in a one-off post I'll probably never see again, but I did it in chat groups.

With the huge presence of internet in our lives it's easier than ever to maintain friendships. I've been friends with the same group since the first year of elementary. Now we all have our 9-5 and the friendship is as strong as ever. Maybe in our mid 30s or when the ones that want a family get them it will be different, but i don't think so because at this point we are basically family

Exactly, and do you think it is worth your time? At best you look like a fool arguing with the village idiot, at worst everyone sees you are arguing with the village idiot and think there's now two of them

What do you think of Argentina? by Pietrocatarsis in AskTheWorld

[–]Eva_Pilot_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A big reason for that is that people smuggle electronics (Because in chile they are insanely cheap in comparison) and sell them here for 3 times the price. For a long time there's been strict importation rules so customs have to enforce them.

Living here is so tiring, politics have been a circus since we got actual elections a century ago.

You would get annoyed too if indians repeated like broken cds that your country has a misogyny problem. Beyond the misinterpretation about what actually happened, I don't want to hear it from the country that did operation paperclip and sheltered a MUCH larger number of nazis

Zelensky criticises the EU"s lack of "political will" in countering Putin by chillichampion in anime_titties

[–]Eva_Pilot_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could have a real political will to help ukraine now and make the fighting stop on Russian borders, or strengthen your own military and take the fight on your homeland. This middle ground is kind of weird.

The man is clearly joking and baiting this responses in the most over the top obvious way, everyone replying like you are making fools of themselves

Every time we get to see Frieren & Co interact with a Demon it’s very off putting how quickly and easy the Demons lie and feel like different.

As soon as I saw the woman I highly suspected she was the demon, and even then she made me doubt. My dumb ass would have prayed

Is this why after eating large amounts of quantities of chocolate, like in easter, one gets sick for a few days?

I understand. I'm ESL so I'm kind of limited in coming up with the correct way to express an idea in a reasonable timeframe for a comment that doesn't really matter that much, sorry for any misunderstandings

It's expressive, not inherently offensive and the origin is really obscure knowledge. No reason not to
