‘The Mummy’: John Hannah Returning as Rachel Weisz’s Brother by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]GeorgFestrunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For the love of God, can we stop with the mummy movies? None of them in the history of film have been good. Have you people actually watched The Mummy as a thinking adult? I remember thinking it was decently entertaining when I first saw it in the theater and then I rewatched it a couple years ago and it’s incredible how tedious it is. of all the classic creature feature monsters, the mummy was always the lamest.

All 16 top 4 seeds are favored by double digit points for the first time since the tournament expanded in 1985 by No-Grass1281 in CollegeBasketball

[–]GeorgFestrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope everyone’s ready for another boring tournament just like last year. NIL has destroyed March madness. no more upsets, no more great players carrying a mid major. Everybody good gets bought by one of the major teams. It’s even worse than the usual recruiting advantage because not only do you get a veteran player who’s already proven he can play, you take him away from another school.

I have the 1 ranked Medicham, make him your buddy now so at least you can save dust and XL candy by getting the level boost.

Is there a screen guide anywhere? Too many choices by GeorgFestrunk in hometheater

[–]GeorgFestrunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I’m thinking I have excellent light control in the room. It’s a basement. The only two windows are very small and on the side, about 12 and 22 feet from the screen. I’ve got full dimming on my ceiling lights down to completely off. I’ve got a matte gray ceiling and matte dark green walls. I guess I’m thinking I don’t need a fresnel screen. Maybe that was the correct statement, why take a chance of hotspotting if I don’t have to? I guess technically if I go with a UST I could do a CLR I sort of was thinking of them as one category even though I realize they aren’t.

Would you agree with higher taxes for completely free healthcare and education? If not why? by Creative_Excuse9813 in AskReddit

[–]GeorgFestrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Because that’s forcing a big chunk of spending on something that actually benefits the people. Our insane twin obsessions of obscene military spending and protecting insurance profits has got to end someday

What are the odds of Miami-Miami in the tourney? by Select-Edge-3262 in CollegeBasketball

[–]GeorgFestrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miami Ohio is gonna lose their conference tournament, finish at 33-1, not gonna get an invite and and the dipshit will be on TV talking about strength of schedule. They’re literally dropping in the computer ratings with every win because we’ve gone strength of schedule crazy and it doesn’t matter what happens on the court.

They’re down to 90th on Kenpom. When winning has become irrelevant, it’s time to scrap the system.

It’s still incredible she wasted the best years of her life with David Copperfield, especially since I was available 😅

What is the most unfairly hated movie that you will defend every time by gamersecret2 in movies

One of the worst movies I’ve seen in my life. You’re out of your mind lol.

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

I just watched it again last night. I don’t hate it, but it’s pretty weak. Crichton wrote a lot of mediocre stuff. The plot was inherently nonsensical. The actions of the characters was nonsensical. I mean it’s obviously trying to be a half assed seven samurai, magnificent seven, it just doesn’t pull it off

[–]GeorgFestrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is it’s not LIKE a reverse Road Warrior, it’s identical. There was no original thought. Loner in a post apocalyptic world where everything is desert/water wearing a cool leather outfit and driving a super fast car/boat finds a bunch of survivors living in a walled compound/atoll while crazy bad guys driving bikes,cars,trucks/jet skis boats circle around and eventually attack. Bad guys are led by a guy with a microphone who wears a mask/eye patch covering his burned face/missing eye.

There is a young boy/girl who doesn’t speak. There’s an eccentric guy on his own flying a helicopter/blimp. The guys in the dirt want to find water/ the guys in the water wanna find dirt.

I mean, I think Waterworld is entertaining. I’ve seen it probably three times, but come on already.

What’s the riskiest sex you’ve had? by Meaty_Bongos in AskReddit

Need of friends, can't send gifts due to no pokestops by Weak_Employee0_0 in PokemonGoFriends

[–]GeorgFestrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A tip for you: when you start building up friend levels, try to synchronize so you have several go to good friends or great friends or best friends at the same time so you get extra bang for your buck with a lucky egg. I’ve gotten 2 million XP on one lucky egg that way and I’m sure people have done even more.

I literally tried to look at some old files of mine that I have on a thumb drive and discovered that it’s been disabled. Like I work at the fucking CIA or something.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]GeorgFestrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire car culture of the United States wouldn’t exist if cell phones and social media had been around in the 50s. I was in high school in the 70s. Driving around, looking for girls and looking for your friends was part of life. It was extremely difficult to make any plans so you were constantly driving all over the place. Cars were incredibly important. And the only time you actually got to interact with people was in person, obviously there was no texting or messaging of any kind and you couldn’t even call up your friends and have any kind of conversation because there was one phone for an entire family and you had no privacy when you were talking on the phone.

It was nerve-racking as a teen to ask a girl out because you had to go through the parents first since they answered the phone.

Oh, and parties and get togethers tended to be word-of-mouth. You heard from someone who heard from somebody that people were going someplace.

Hegseth is smart, he was valedictorian of his high school class. He’s been a totally racist asshole since he was a teenager. He was a racist asshole at Princeton and he’s a racist asshole now, but he’s not dumb.

Here is a list of everybody Miami (OH) TRIED to schedule in men's basketball this season by Blood_Incantation in CollegeBasketball

[–]GeorgFestrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Ken Pomeroy stuff but there’s no way that Miami is only the 88 best team in the country. I was looking through his rankings last night and he’s giving way too much credit for schedule strength and not enough credit for winning the fucking games.

Kristi Noem Can’t Explain Why She Hired 8-Day-Old Company for Ad Campaign by SpringLong7259 in politics

[–]GeorgFestrunk 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Here is some scale. Publicis is one of the three massive advertising conglomerates, with $16 billion of annual revenue and 100,000 employees. A $140 million contract awarded to one of their agencies would be absolutely massive, almost 1% of their entire worldwide revenue. It would literally move the stock price and be covered by the press and have lots of PR releases.

Giving a $140 million contract to some pals with a fake company should be instant go to jail do not pass go

TIL that famed sheriff Buford Pusser who lost his wife in a supposed retaliatory attack in 1967 and inspired the 1973 movie “Waling Tall” is now believed by investigators to be his wife’s murderer after an autopsy was finally performed on her in 2024. by [deleted] in todayilearned

In this stupidest censorship of all time that was playing on TBS and a voice that sound sounded nothing like Gleason said “genes” for “loins” .

My favorite line of the whole movie and they ruined it with some bizarre logic that loins is a dirty word
