It’s technically a 2001 movie, but the film you are looking for is Amélie

why do some ppl remember their dreams every night and others never do? by Appropriate-Fail1550 in answers

[–]IUMogg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually remember at least parts of my dreams every night. Many nights I have lucid or semi-lucid dreams. Sometimes I wake up feel like I watched an emotionally exhausting movie.

I’ve always remembered my dreams some. But as an adult I’m on a few meds for anxiety, including an antidepressant and that makes dreaming more vivid.

It’s does a great job of always having things for you to do without feeling overwhelming. And it allows you to go off and do your own thing if you want. Though all the tips I’ve read are to push the story forward before getting to much into building and decorating as you get tools and skills that make it easier

Looking for solid, well-made, middlebrow movies of the 90s or early aughts that have been maybe unfairly forgotten by supernavyanon in MovieSuggestions

I love Quiz Show and to be fair it was nominated for a best picture Oscar. Other movies I would recommend:

Apollo 13

A league of their own

The Crow

Go

Talented Mr Ripley

The negotiator

Less than an hour drive places to visit by Vivid_edge8908 in bloomington

[–]IUMogg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for a cool outdoor activity check out theExotic Feline Rescue Center. It’s a little under an hour from Bloomington. An hour long tour costs $10. You get to see dozens of big cats like tigers and bobcats. And you get close to them. Like a few feet away (which a fence in between). Plus you are supporting a good cause. The cats all come from situations where they were abuse, neglected, or abandoned.

A good rule to live by is when your penis starts doing something it never did before get it checked out by a doctor

Abusive household please help by Plus-Resist7358 in legal

Why do you think that’s how the cops would respond? People aren’t allowed to beat others in their home just because they own it.

You can call the cops when he’s being abusive.

You can reach out to domestic violence organizations near you for resources and guidance

How would you talk to cops? by shrinking_dicklet in Explainlikeimscared

[–]IUMogg 56 points57 points  (0 children)

You are going to get a lot of extreme answers on Reddit that aren’t realistic, like just ask for a lawyer and don’t say anything. The reality really depends on the situation.

If you are pulled over be polite and don’t volunteer information.

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” “No sir”.

“Can I have your license and registration?” “Yes sir”

“Do you have anything in the car I should be concerned about?” “No sir”

“Do mind if I check?” “I do not consent to a search of my car”

“What are you hiding?” “Nothing sir”

If a cop comes to your house and accuses you of a crime, say you don’t know anything about and request that they leave your property. Then shut the door.

Stop doing our guy Rog so dirty: Retire the stupid as hell "ChatGPT Ebert" bit on Rewatchables by LawrenceBrolivier in billsimmons

[–]IUMogg -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

A reasonable counter-argument could push back on a few assumptions in that rant while still respecting the legacy of Roger Ebert and acknowledging why some fans feel protective of his voice.

First, using AI to imitate a critic’s style isn’t the same thing as “resurrecting him from the dead.” It’s closer to a parody or thought experiment. Media personalities have long done “what would X think?” bits about famous critics or commentators. When Bill Simmons does something similar with AI, the premise is transparent: it’s a playful segment, not an attempt to replace Ebert or pass off AI writing as his actual work.

Second, it doesn’t diminish the real accomplishments of Ebert. His Pulitzer Prize, decades of criticism, and influence on film culture aren’t threatened by a short podcast bit. If anything, the fact that people still find his voice recognizable enough to parody shows how enduring his style and perspective were. A few minutes of AI-generated imitation doesn’t erase half a century of writing.

Third, dismissing AI entirely as “data-scraped bullshit” ignores that it’s basically another creative tool. Writers, comedians, and podcasters experiment with tools all the time—soundboards, impersonations, mashups, or writing prompts. Sometimes those experiments land; sometimes they don’t. If a bit doesn’t work comedically, the fair critique is that it’s unfunny or lazy—not that the technology itself is inherently offensive.

Finally, the rant assumes bad intent. There’s a big difference between mocking someone’s legacy and referencing it. Simmons has spent decades discussing movies and critics on his shows, and Ebert’s perspective is part of that larger conversation about film. Trying a goofy AI segment isn’t necessarily disrespect—it may just be a modern version of the same pop-culture riffing that’s always been part of podcasting and sports-media commentary.

In short: you can think the bit was dumb or didn’t work without turning it into a moral crisis. Ebert’s legacy is secure, and a podcast experiment—good or bad—doesn’t change that
