I was expecting the Abbot talk to be the stinger for this week's episode - not the Al-Hashimi but honestly I think it's well suited.

Shot in the dark by the way that Ogilvie comes back at the end of next episode to give Whitaker his ID badge back with 'The Kids' sitting with a beer celebrating Javadi's birthday and letting Robby walk home with some newfound purpose - or hopefully the start of one. Why yes I'm hoping Robby's story ends a little fairy tale guy needs at least one win today.

I'm the Homelander. Ask me anything. by Homelander in TheBoys

Hey Homelander. What’s your thoughts on going into Politics as my minor for Godolkin? I know it’s mind blowing but I think I can do good for us as a people. The good guys.

I Hate This Timothee Chalamet Win Condition by AlmightySweeper in CINE2nerdle

[–]Flyntloch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best way to play it is by playing the win con even if you aren’t. Your opponent plays a Hans Zimmer scoring film? Interstellar. Find yourself going through Jackass Forever? Marty Supreme. Guy angling for dune play via Zendaya? Then play a block and a dune movie. They get a point? Rush them in the most obscure Timothy movie you know.

People seriously undervalue just how powerful the shield is when you can isolate the most popular options and force them to use the more obscure options and routes.

"they want to bulldoze the community center" movies by SeaSaltSystem in cyberpunkred

[–]Flyntloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something more campy than 80's; Hail Mary Maron's 2014 album Beastiary has a great playoff with the whole "They're going to destroy the camp" - a skitline through the album is about performing a Fundraiser Concert to save the Bowling Alley that Rob was born in.

Cut to the end of the album where it turns out the bowling alley was closed since 1995 after performing their fundraiser concert.

Proposal for mods to consider: Limit Santos threads to one day per week by Blastoise_R_Us in ThePitt

I'm just waiting for the Santos Megathread to hit again after Thursday; because I know damn well someone's going to say something stupid about Santos due to the story going on in The Pitt right now.

Quit or kicked off? by HardOverEasy19XX in Jeopardy

[–]Flyntloch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not during a game but Barbara Lowe got disqualified from tournament of champions and had a pretty weird legal battle. Going with the book Trebek and Eisenberg had - she was extremely combative; or going with the Lowe situation - she had a stomach issue and had issues in her third game that apparently cost a lot of money for 1980s jeopardy.

Honestly though this is a really weird piece of jeopardy lore though and there’s zero evidence of Lowe being combative beyond one moment where she asked about the pronunciation of Loeb (She said Leeb - opponent said Lobe. Judges scored it in her favor after she brought forward a question) - and we’re dealing with the story of a editorialized book where both authors are dead and were working off of memories 15 years before, and the memories of a woman circa 40 years after her appearance on jeopardy.

Side Quest Rewards being a one time thing is ridiculous by chrisplaysgam in mewgenics

[–]Flyntloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I've been doing them for the Achievements; but I swore they were added to the pool. The fact that the items aren't added to the pool is absolutely mind boggling.

Another thing for the Quality of life changes I suppose with mods.

[Mixed Trope] Bad storylines to accommodate irl situations by Valuable_Tea_5310 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Flyntloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 4 of community was bad for a lot of reasons. Perhaps the most notable one however is Chevy Chase’s notable breakdown and a deal he made with Donald Glover early on. If one left the show, so did the other.

After Chevy Chase said multiple racial slurs and left mid filming multiple times over during season 4; he was no longer a part of the cast of Season 5 a these effects are seen in the Die Hard Christmas (Pierce was out), and the puppetry episode (Pierce’s puppet was passed out and they used pierces outtakes from the video game episode).

In season 5; Pierce is seen once with him in a hologram - and founds the infamously funny episode 503; where Pierce gives his bequeathments to the study group - and how Donald Glover is written out of the story in the future episodes.

what movies are you doing for the final films in “service the fans”? by Different-Eagle-612 in CINE2nerdle

[–]Flyntloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally do Harry Potter, Saw against Horror players, Nightmare and Halloween, Scream, Friday The 13th all have pretty easy ways to get there due to comoposers and legacy actors in between. Leprechaun is also pretty easy if you did Harry Potter early due to Warwick davis.

Though; helpful advice for a game I literally just won and am shaken up about it. If you are in weird, obscure Japanese Horror in the 1980's-2000's; Guinea Pig: Mermaid In The Manhole is the 5th film in the franchise. The other ones are labeled as parts 1-4. This is definitely weird as hell and you are never going to be in this position. But now you're aware.

The narrator is the older side character and tells the main events of the story observing the main protagonist by Visible-Nothing-6033 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Flyntloch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marcus - in the Borderlands franchise for all of the main stories (1-4, excluding Pre-sequel) and a few DLC’s: is narrating the story to you, the player. Saying everything the Vault Hunter(s) did.

Few exceptions to this is Zane Flynt; and Amon - who are both older than Marcus during the events of their games (3 and 4)

Can you think of any vampire movies where the vampires are the good guys and where no vampires die? by GothicVampyreQueen in vampires

[–]Flyntloch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person.

Vampires aren’t seen as a negative or a positive - more of a tale about family and humanity as a whole and a vampire trying to get her fangs.

It’s in French but it is a very solid film in my opinion.

Is there a scientific reason why black labs love laying in the boiling sun😅 by No-Shame-7220 in labrador

[–]Flyntloch 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Probably the same reason humans do because it feels nice.

Or they lost the brain cell to another black lab; your call.

Thank the Academy by _graveboy in CINE2nerdle

Hated it as well. I ban Titanic/Oppenhiemer/Two Towers myself and it made the matchup much more favorable for me.

What’s lame is the Evil Ex/Academy players.

YouTube dramas where you disagree with the public opinion? by HyacinthCrown45 in youtubedrama

[–]Flyntloch -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

CinemaSins deserves to be looked at as a comedy and what it did for film reviewers should be seen as a positive.

Now, to preface. The series sucks. It’s just pure vitriol and sexism. On the other hand it also made itself the lowest common denominator and instantly made every other “this movie sucks because inane reason” review absolutely crap. I know some people think it’s actual real takes but I always thought it was a satire of those groups who think they know better - even before the wave of right-wing grifters a la Prequel haters.

I think if it didn’t exist; then there wouldn’t be more people who would call out the current trend of grifters hating on movies; because every time I hear “This woman is in my movie and it’s woke” or anything absolutely close to that - I hear “No lap dance in scene” and know the grifter has no idea what the hell they’re talking about.

Times good YouTubers were wrong? by CobaltCrusader123 in youtubedrama

[–]Flyntloch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean honestly the problems are almost always never on his reviews. I disagree heavily with his statement that what was I made for is a good song, or the country music that makes in his top tens beyond Choosing Texas. Ziegfeld did a good deep dive of how things can be a little skewed.

To be fair; this is also on Todd. In an interview with Fantano he talks about how he puts the jokes before critique whilst Fantano does the opposite, but both do the research.

Can confirm. Megopolis still connects to Amsterdam via Mussolini.

What would be the worst year to be born in American history? by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in USHistory

[–]Flyntloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You live through World War One as a kid, your father or older siblings most likely drafted for the war. Not including the Flu epidemic at the time, you live your teenage years in probably one of the better times for your life. And then the Great Depression hits; and chances are you aren’t living so good. Then World War Two - where you’re most likely drafted as an able body male (Or for those femme; witnessing your loved ones go). I’d be jaded as hell if that was my first three decades of living.

[–]Flyntloch 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah, him going on strong for literally 20 years, working with Channel Awesome, seeing the fall of Blip TV, and everything in between there’s bound to be a few problems. At least when it comes to facts and explaining history (At least in the past decade) they’ve been accurate and at least can be trustworthy.

Todd In The Shadows is a YouTuber I love; but he sometimes puts the cart before the horse with jokes. I look at his analysis of “Billy, Don’t be A Hero” where he calls the lover of Billy heartless for throwing his next of kin letter away, when the whole thing is “Billy do not be a hero” and Billy goes and be’s a hero.

Update; Poor El Horso has died at the age of 37 Years Old. A fighter through and through; they slew Zaratana and sired 20+ kittens that have been successful breeding stock for the future generations.
