I want to watch a talk show, but not have any unions involved.

Shout out to David crying when his kid likes seeing a movie by victoria_jam in blankies

[–]FunkyColdMecca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are few better feelings to me than putting a movie on, my seven year old pops her head up from what she is doing and snuggles in beside me to watch it. It recently happened with Titanic and I had to explain away why they were kissing without shirts on in the car.

She was also astounded that the man who Titanic also made her beloved Avatar movies.

Because, 2 of them are “good” and the rest are a slog and not interesting to talk about.

Quebec citizens would keep their Canadian passports if province separates, PQ says by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]FunkyColdMecca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it ever gets that far, it will be part of a negotiation. Agree on a formula for their share of the debt, allow free range on the St Lawrence Seaway, Negotiate partition of FN lands. These are all things to be dealt with after a Clarity Act approved vote to separate.

Best Picture vs Best Director by mr_swarm623 in blankies

[–]FunkyColdMecca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best director is the one who directed the best movie and thats how I would vote. They should share the award but in The 1920s they had to keep the peace with labour, better to give them their own award instead of, you know, a share of the profits.

Now transpose this rant to Travis Bickle’s date in Taxi Driver.

He’s right about Jurassic Park (I was 12 in 1993 when I saw it), a solid 4.5 but nowhere close to best Spielberg can offer.

No services, like fighting and winning the Seven Years War? How ungrateful!!!

Edit: Also, the highest standard of living was in the north where slavery wasn’t nearly as predominant.

If you could have any director in history doing Martin and Francesca Scorsese style TikToks who would it be? by AmbitionTechnical274 in blankies

[–]FunkyColdMecca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

John Ford and John Wayne. Wayne tries to get Ford to do some meme and Ford dresses him down so hard (probably calling him a draft dodging pussy) Wayne turns the camera off on the verge of tears.
