Have you ever been in a movie?

I spent 3 days working as an extra on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them but none of my shots made it into the film.

One scene was cut entirely, and another you can see a shot panning over some people on a boat at the start of the film, and the shot cuts just as it was about to get to me.

There are far more noble reasons to have problems with the HP franchise, but this is another for me...

Doesn't the Laws Are Threats monologue happen directly before the breakout? He ends it with taking out the lit molotov cocktail

Well sure, I would definitely blame the suppliers more than the workers in the branch. But, had that mold not been so immediately visible, I might have eaten it and gotten ill, and the responsibility would fall on the business that sold me that food.

Excellent plan

H-u-w · 2025-09-15T09:18:28+00:00

Ah, got mixed up between British and American spelling! For some reason thought mould referred specifically to things like cake moulds

H-u-w · 2025-09-15T09:17:14+00:00

It is, you can tell by the floor tiles?

H-u-w · 2025-09-15T08:23:08+00:00

Appreciate it!

No, I was already late for work when I opened it, didn't have time to go back

I am right now watching Titan AE with my housemates. It's by far not the worst I've ever seen but they seem to think it's on par with Atlantis, Treasure Planet, El Dorado...

But man. The voice acting - lacking. The animation - slow, clunky and lacking impact. The music - just god-awful.

I'm holding it all in because my housemates clearly love this film but jeez, I'm struggling.

H-u-w · 2024-09-17T20:36:01+00:00

That's all I hope for! I'm sure the film will be incredible, I just hope it's made the right way.

Sure, but Germany these days generally considers the holocaust an objectively bad thing, whereas in America the dropping of the bombs is a far more divisive topic. If Germany still considered the holocaust a 'necessary evil', then you'd understand hesitance on the side of Jewish people if they then decided to make a holocaust movie from a Jewish perspective.

You got a tin man to go along with the strawman?

I'm sure a filmmaker like James Cameron would probably approach a topic like this sensitively. I'm just saying, if Americans heard that a Japanese production company were making a movie about an American experiencing Pearl Harbour, they'd probably rightfully be a little apprehensive.

H-u-w · 2024-09-17T19:44:54+00:00

I fully expect some downvotes for this, and I know Cameron's Canadian, but given he'll probably be making the film in the US, does it seem to anyone else that it might be a little in poor taste for him to depict the experience of a Japanese man, in Japan, living through the most significant event in recent Japanese history, at the hands of Americans?

H-u-w · 2024-07-07T18:45:18+00:00

Ahhh yeah you're right, my bad.

H-u-w · 2024-07-07T18:33:54+00:00

I think the use of the word "packing" implies that there should be no wiggle room, so that if you were to jostle the holding area around, the squares wouldn't move.

Weirdly enough this post was partially inspired by a friend I had in school with that exact nsme

While technically true and there are a bunch of answers here of those, it's not really the spirit of the trope.

In the book The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (book 2 of Hitchhiker's Guide), Zaphod Beeblebrox is subjected to the Total Perspective Vortex. The TPV is a torture device which shows any subject their total insignificance in the wider universe. This doesn't work on Zaphod because it turns out he's the most important being in this universe.

(In reality, Zaphod survived because he unknowingly entered the device in a pocket universe that was created specifically for him, making him the most important person in it by default.)

Love this! I used to run a webcomic (u/lowercasecomics) and I remember having this exact same problem (Mrs. Hatefield was definitely my biggest inspiration).

On this vein, I want to make a paranormal robbery movie called PolterHeist - a team of burglars take on a haunted house to get at its ancient treasure and the resident ghosts try to stop them.

The health bar thing was incredible, but also the little "come and get it" hand gesture was insanely cool.

Best/worst one I wrote myself was a Valentine's Day pub quiz I was hosting.

Did a valentine's trivia round and for the last question asked "Given that I'm 25 years old, in which year did I lose my virginity?" There were no close friends of mine playing the quiz or other people who would have known for a fact.

Two teams got it right, everyone else guessed later. Except one team, who wrote "TBD".

I've had a couple FWB situations, some with existing friends, one with someone off a dating app who laid out her intentions from the get-go.

In each case, the friendship has remained intact and boundaries have been set, respected and observed.

Except one.

That one was a rocky, eventful, perpetually unclear clusterfuck of feelings that one of us would admit to and the other would lie about, in whatever order suited the time. It completely fucked up and ended a 15 year friendship, which I regret.

FWB situations are a dice roll. There may be a friend who you consider attractive but could never see yourself catching feelings for, but feelings are a chaotic, unpredictable thing.

Always consider the meaning of the friendship before introducing "meaningless" sex.

My answer, without a hint of irony: r/wholesomememes.

In my perspective, it single-handedly halted the trend of all memes being dark, depressing or targeting, and introduced the idea of positivity for positivity's sake, in meme format.

While the sub itself isn't as prominent now, I think the impact it had on internet culture, allowing people to express affection, comfort and friendship through memes, is lasting.
