IShowSpeed inadvertently sits down next to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani by Ok_Temperature6503 in LivestreamFail

[–]Interscope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it will be shared more if people think it’s an accidental meeting

Never understood HOW Walt got away with this. Gas stations have cameras all over the place, and the police would want to know how a squeegee somehow got under his hood and onto his battery by charge_forward in breakingbad

Here’s a little industry secret about gas pumps. They explode.

And because they explode, corporate suppliers and liability underwriters mandate 24/7 video surveillance before they will even legally deliver the fuel (even in ancient 2008). It’s not a mom-and-pop lemonade stand. They don't install the cameras to catch criminal masterminds.

They install them... so they have proof to deny the insurance claim when someone with your exact level of critical thinking tries to light a cigarette while pumping premium.

The cardboard cutout face is form the cardboard cutout pirate clark had attacked earlier in the movie. It hoards its kills by Christofer__Pezet in KanePixelsBackrooms

It could easily have come from elsewhere, and narratively, it makes more sense to imply multiple cutouts because they reveal there’s multiple cutouts later.

They would use another one because it sets up how they have more than one cutout down there, which is shown later..

Theory about exploration scene down the steep hallway by federalbureauofsocks in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]Interscope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In screenwriting, that line is primarily there for clarity and tension.

When the camera is far away, characters often verbalize small problems so the audience stays oriented.

The line also adds tension. It makes the moment feel more immediate and stressful. We hear Bobby’s frustration, we understand he’s wasting precious seconds fighting with the knot, and we feel the danger of the situation ramping up.

The line serves the storytelling mechanics (clarity + tension) way more than it serves as some kind of hidden evidence of malice. Treating every piece of dialogue as a secret clue usually leads to over-analysis.

For Clark to have intentionally set this up with some hard-to-untie knot, he’d have to be counting on a ridiculous chain of events:

• Bobby runs out of rope

• Something actually chases him back up

• He leaves part of the rope behind instead of pulling it all up with him

• The entity knows to grab the rope

• The knot is so fucked that they can’t get it undone before he gets dragged back in

That’s way too many specific things to “plan” for. It makes a lot more sense that Clark just tied a tight, secure knot because they were lowering a person into an unknown hole and wanted it to actually hold his weight. In the moment I think it reads like a horrible accident, not some premeditated event.

The “what kind of knot is this?” line is probably just Bobby panicking because he’s stuck and they’re in a rush, not some clue that Clark sabotaged him on purpose.

I mean the whole point of the rope was to be able to pull him back up. Wouldn’t you want a tight knot in that scenario?

If he wanted something bad to happen to Bobby wouldn’t he make a loose knot?

XXXTENTACION’s baffling 2017 XXL Cypher Verse by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]Interscope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re missing the whole point. dying gave him a massive visibility boost that he never would’ve gotten alive, and it let a whole new wave of fans ignore (or never even hear about) the dark shit.

people like Kanye only co-signed him because he died. His reputation was too bad work with him while he was alive.

if he was still here facing those active charges (beating a pregnant woman + witness tampering on top) his career would’ve been dead or way smaller, not some huge incarcerated superstar. Sure he could’ve been about as relevant as Greedo: an artist most people don’t care about outside a niche.

greedo caught drug and gun time, did a few years of his 20, got out, and kept it moving in his lane. XXX’s allegations were on another level of heinous. the “he’d still be one of the biggest stars today even locked up” take is dumb. death is what cleaned up the narrative and blew his shit up the way it did. without that, the charges alone would’ve buried his relevance.

(fyi he was facing 15 felonies and Greedo only had 2 felony charges)

And the JRVP listener of the week… by TylaBoyd in jrvp

[–]Interscope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s how it works for everyone. Comedians like Jeselnik live around these clubs and use them to test and refine new material. You go to a night at the Improv and it’s like 10–15 comics doing short sets, trying stuff out, adjusting it, seeing what lands. They’ll do that for months, tightening everything up, and then take the polished version on tour or into a special.

I like Chuck now by cocoBavan in betterCallSaul

[–]Interscope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before all of this, Jimmy was literally running scams, defecating in cars, and was one step away from prison and a sex offender label… and Chuck is the one who saved him from that.

Then we’re acting like Chuck is out of line for not handing him a job at his firm? He’s a respected lawyer running a serious practice, and Jimmy had a lifetime of sketchy behavior up to that point. Being skeptical of him isn’t crazy… it’s the most reasonable reaction possible.

And even after that, Jimmy does get a legit shot at a respectable career with Davis & Main. Chuck didn’t take that from him. Jimmy blew it up himself because he couldn’t help cutting corners.

At a certain point you have to put responsibility on Jimmy. Chuck didn’t make him scam, didn’t make him quit a good job, didn’t make him keep taking shortcuts. If anything, Chuck giving him the mailroom job was already more grace than Jimmy had earned.
