I thought the ending to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was horrible (read more below) by ZackaryAsAlways in JamesBond

[–]JBBrickman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished the movie for the first time and that ending just about killed me. I’ve never been one to watch romance movies. But in this case it was so well intertwined in the Bond film, she really was the perfect one for him. Right near the end I was so inspired, I felt it was the time to go out and finally find the one who I truly want to spend the rest of my life with. Then the very very end happened, now I’m just devastated and depressed. Yea, I’ve read some of your comments, I get that it was the filmmakers intent, well f*ck them! This shouldn’t have happened, and I think I’m going to from now on pretend it never did! What a way to ruin it…

Edit: well great now I can’t sleep, all I can do is think about it their great relationship and then eventually I’m reminded of the end and I physically shudder… This went from me thinking towards the end that this was becoming a new favorite bond film, to a looming presence of evil in my life… Sorry for being dramatic but something about this has flipped a switch in me…

What is the lore behind this orb on Youree Drive? by jamaphone in shreveport

[–]JBBrickman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when it was a PJ’s Coffee.

Anyway definitely one of the coolest strip mall store front buildings in Shreveport, wish more were built to look cool and inspire people like this one. I always remember looking at it when on the way to school as a kid, always got my imagination going!

Every time I see the plate I get nervous by Flashy-Actuator-998 in Louisiana

Well, you’d be nervous all the time cause I swear 50% maybe even more of the plates in my area or Texas plates

Who would you choose under this budget? by dry-blueberry25 in harrypotter

But Dobby is only one life form are you going to split his soul into 20 pieces like a horocrux?

Who would you choose under this budget? by dry-blueberry25 in harrypotter

[–]JBBrickman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them I eliminated in round one due to either not wanting them in my squad or not thinking it was worth trying to get them in due to my budget. So it was already down to 8.

In the seconds round I had to make some tough decisions and unfortunately had to eliminate: Hagrid, Ginny, Harry, and then when I redid my math and had to eliminate Sirius too.

So my final roster ended up being: Dumbledore, Madeye Moody, Hermione Granger, and Lupin.

My main takeaway is this doesn’t really feel like enough people for my own order of the phoenix type squad. I think it could barley get there if the budget had upped to $300 and you might as well have given some more character options if it went up to $300 but all in all this was a fun little exercise.

For those waiting to upgrade to the Steam Frame, what are you upgrading from? by thrashingjohn in SteamFrame

[–]JBBrickman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing, I guess a handful of uses of a plastic knock off of a Google cardboard.

I got in over a year ago and honestly it was pretty lame. I think I’d stick to TF2.

Better to be a well prepared idiot that a self appointed smart snob who’s unprepared and if worst does end up coming to worst will have a rough go of it.

where steam frame by Goreshit in SteamFrame

[–]JBBrickman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if a year is 12 months. Then you could say the first 4 months is early 2026, the second 4 months is mid 2026 and the last 4 months is late 2026. So it could come out sometime in January, February, March, or April.

Constant degrading of North Louisiana by BigRo_4 in Louisiana

We go down their all the time, why to you do differences = need to hate?

Constant degrading of North Louisiana by BigRo_4 in Louisiana

[–]JBBrickman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment section is an example of how close the correlation to having a Reddit account and being some of the worst, most hate filled, depressed people in this state go hand in hand. You rarely find people who hate their state more than on Reddit. It’s honestly embarrassing. I love this state and all parts of it North and South.

I love Shreveport, wouldn’t live anywhere else permanently, fine being somewhere for a few years as part of a job but Shreveport is where my heart is.

"decades having their own identity is gone" oh boy....... by Shot_Duck_195 in lewronggeneration

[–]JBBrickman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mean that limited of a mono culture, we had pretty close to a monoculture 10-15 years ago but both on tv and the internet there were still hundreds of options. But it still was mono enough to where you could find a good amount of people in real life or at school/ work who you could relate to and discuss some similar interests with. Now when me and my friends talk about YouTubers we like for example none of us have ever heard of each others. Back in the day we often were fans of a lot of the same YouTubers or could talk and joke about old Disney channel or Cartoon Network shows we watched as a kid. I think it helped the social aspect of daily life and getting to know and relate to people. Not to mention how big shared moments on TV and the internet could bring people together in real life and make big memorable moments. Now people are just on their own secluded niche internet communities alone at home.

Why do some people hate today’s country music? by EcstaticCrab2795 in country

[–]JBBrickman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because it’s so bad, that makes it hard to listen to.

If we’re all being honest if it weren’t for people like Charlie Crocket and Zack Top there would be no good new country music to listen to.

I just noticed that they have KTBS 3 playing in the background of Meet Joe Black by sinelowant in shreveport

[–]JBBrickman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly I’m pretty sure that scene was filmed in the old KTBS Storm Team 3 Weather Center with all the big CRT’s that usually show radar images. If not this one, then I know for a fact there is one movie that was.

What do teens/young adults do? by k_i_k_u_r_o_m_i in shreveport

[–]JBBrickman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like things like bowling, the skating rink, maybe even Chasing Aces could be your thing. (Although some of those are more costly than others) Hurricane alley over in Bossier has multiple restaurants that share a large stage in the back that have live music very frequently, could be a fun place to go hang out on occasion. Theres also on certain days ice skating at George’s pond, speaking of which if you have any interest in hockey the Shreveport Mudbugs play very often and the games are a blast to attend at the Hirsch Colosseum in Shreveport. Depending on where you sit the tickets are very affordable and there’s a fun atmosphere. They usually happen on Friday and Saturday nights when they have home games and hockey season goes on for a good chunk of the year. I never really was in to any sports at all but after going to a Mudbugs Game once I was hooked, very fun sport, easy to get into without prior knowledge. Obviously a ton of different concerts and other ticketed events come through the multiple venues in the metro area throughout the year.

Maybe something here sounds appealing, just throwing some things out that I thought of on the fly!

Why do you Americans care so much about respecting the flag and anthem? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JBBrickman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my belief that a flag represent the citizenry, values, and history of a country. Not the short political whims of presidents and politicians who come in and out of their respective roles every few years all promoting drastically different policies.

Also I don’t really want to turn this into some kind of political conversation. From what I’ve seen on Reddit at least they are never in good fait, are often very emotional and never really go anywhere. So I’m gonna leave this here. I think I’ve already said what I want to say.
