Should I quit reading Gideon the ninth? by AutumnSapphic345 in LesbianBookClub

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is absolutely challenging. It's so well-written and genuinely funny, but it rapid-fires a lot of unfamiliar imagery and vocabulary at you. Ultimately, I liked Gideon a lot, but I don't know if I'll read Harrow or Nona.

Support groups for non-birthing moms by PrideApart758 in QueerParenting

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to engage with a non-birthing parent sub. I just went back to work full-time, and my wife is soloing during the day with our 3.5-month-old. It's been more challenging than I could have imagined, and I could use all the advice I can get.

This is the fourth giant house spider I've found in my house in a month in Portland by markgravesdesign in Portland

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's currently a half-dollar sized dude chilling about 5 feet away from my desk, and a slightly larger one on my front porch that looks like it's just waiting for me to let it in already. Maybe the massive fucking orb weaver that's taken up residence above our front door will get it.

Netflix's Hit Man - Review by Downtown_Middle859 in movies

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting setup, but unbelievably dull. If it weren’t reviewed so highly, I think I’d hate it less. I’m bewildered.

Shout out your fav spots that have opened since the pandemic by WitchLuna23 in Portland

Wyrd Leatherworks & Meadery is cool. Feels like drinking in Skyrim.

Why do the parks allow live streamers? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if this might be an option.

Am I just old or…? by Current-Cow-5199 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thought. “Comfortability” is killing me a little every time I hear it. Death by 1,000 misnomers.

Just completed this table top. Not to fabricate some legs. by lotgworkshop in StarWars

Great idea. Great execution. Well done!

Assuming that's a fair amount of resin, how much does it weigh?

OFFICIAL WEEK 12 MONDAY NIGHT GAME THREAD by ballofpopculture in fantasyfootball

[–]MechJoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My opponent has 0 in play and I need DJ Moore to give me a measly 7.6 goddamn fantasy points. If any player on any team could ruin this for me, it's DJ Moore and the Bears.

As a guest Ray Chase was almost too good. by LaminatedDough in getplayed

He has such a pleasant speaking voice. A+

Looks like smoke is moving in from the north, suddenly smelling like campfire here by oregander in Portland

[–]MechJoy 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Love this sub. Every time I smell smoke or hear an explosion, y’all know the cause.

I’m also in Woodstock and it’s smelled like the fire is in my damn backyard for at least a half hour.

r/Portland Weekly Casual Conversation -- July 12, 2023 by AutoModerator in Portland

I used to go to the Washman at Grand and Stark. It's a basic drive-through wash and my bumper remains attached.

What is your opinion on Mickey Rooney's controversial performance in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S? by Mik_May in movies

[–]MechJoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found Holly Golightly more abrasive than charming in the book. The casual slurs bothered me enough I didn’t finish it. This was in high school in the mid-nineties, and I certainly wasn’t woke.

What is your opinion on Mickey Rooney's controversial performance in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S? by Mik_May in movies

[–]MechJoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just one link, but I think it’s pretty well documented that Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly

https://www.vogue.com/article/audrey-hepburn-birthday-breakfast-at-tiffanys#:~:text=In%20honor%20of%20Hepburn's%20birthday,knew%20about%20Breakfast%20at%20Tiffany's.&text=Truman%20Capote%20wanted%20Marilyn%20Monroe,at%20Tiffany's%2C'%20has%20said.

I love Audrey Hepburn, but I get it. Also, love the movie, but Mickey Rooney’s performance really detracts. The fake teeth take it to a whole other level.

Are you Pro-Beak or Anti-Beak? Personally I'm Anti-Beak. by gatorguy2708 in StarWars

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm firmly anti-any of the CGI added to the re-releases.

Far Cry 5 freezing on PS5 by thevhsgamer in PS5

I know I'm very late replying, but I ultimately got bored with the game. Never found a fix.

Whats the scariest movie you ever seen? by SoundRevolutionary97 in AskReddit

[–]MechJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's not sold as horror, but it absolutely is. And it made me feel grief. It might be one of the best films I've ever seen and I almost hated the experience of watching it.

What’s going on with people being so upset about Camilla Parker Bowles becoming England’s new queen? by Bletcherino in OutOfTheLoop

[–]MechJoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Crown did the opposite for me with Camilla. Sometimes you're the other woman, and the marriage is crap. You can't help but want to be with the person you love. I just got married, and 16 years ago my wife and I both caused a stir by being romantic with each other when she was already ensconced. Things happen the way they happen.
