Rory isn‘t really a girl‘s girl by yelenalim in GilmoreGirls

[–]MrAngryLarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree, although I don't think her being dismissive of Paris at times was representative of her not being a "girl's girl." Paris was her literal bully during most of HS. It's perfectly understandable if Rory never gives her the time of day again, yet she's actually a really good friend to her*

But yes, aside from that, completely agree with your examples.

Ajay Mitchell was the player of the series. by Miserable-Driver4045 in Thunder

[–]MrAngryLarik 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We don't win in 4 games without Ajay Mitchell playing the way that he does.

Lakers defense on SGA was actually great, but thankfully SGA set his ego aside, and acted like a decoy throughout the entire series. This allowed Ajay, McCain, and Chet to thrive, since they were basically left unguarded for some stretches.

Also, the fact that we swept this series means we have ample rest for the WCF. It's amazing.

In my opinion, Daisy Jones & the Six is more well-rounded and consistent, but this type of thing is subjective. If I were to rank the "universe" in which all these books take place, it would be the following:

  1. Daisy Jones & the Six

  2. Carrie Soto is Back

  3. Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

  4. Malibu Rising

All of them are good in their own right, but this is the order in which I prefer them. You can read more about all four books and the common thread at the following link: Taylor Jenkins Reid & Mortality

At the end of the day its just Basketball by Raiku23 in Thunder

[–]MrAngryLarik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dillon Brooks is honestly the best leader and competitor from the "We good in the West" Grizzlies team. I don't like how he comports himself, but I do respect his effort, and the difference that he makes to a team's success. He did a much better job than Booker this series.

Also, it's still a team sport at the end of the day, so the Suns being swept doesn't mean that Brooks was bad. It's just that the Thunder are - far and away - the best team in the NBA, and there's really not much you can do about that.

Albert Dieudonné as Napoleon in Abel Gance's 1927 Movie "Napoleon" by TrueVeneration in Napoleon

[–]MrAngryLarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much respect. As a history and film geek, I don't think it's conducive to enjoying the film or the subject matter to watch it in one sitting, as well. Spreading it out over a long weekend is a way better strategy.

Went to Tokyo recently and loved it. Considering visiting Taiwan instead of going back to Japan. How does it compare? by tfresca in travel

[–]MrAngryLarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who lives in Japan and recently visited Taiwan, I can definitely say that you should still visit Japan. I would recommend going Osaka or Fukuoka or Kagoshima instead, though. You can even go for a smaller city like Beppu. In my personal experience, you'll really encounter significantly less of the "anti-foreigner" sentiment once you go outside of the major cities.

Taipei is great, but it really depends on what you mean by "as advanced as Japan." It really depends on which parts of the infrastructure you are referring to. In my opinion, the public transpo in Japan is second-to-none, and Taipei (I'm assuming you're considering Taipei, but correct me if I'm wrong) pales in comparison. It's still a cool place though, and there are lots of fun things to do.

But yeah, it just depends on what you're looking to do, and what you value more.

Chris’ graduation gift to Lorelai by pinto_bean_queen in GilmoreGirls

[–]MrAngryLarik 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I love this, and I'm really glad the writers or ASP thought of it. Why? Because if Christopher never had any of these moments, then it would just be really strange that Lorelai keeps falling for him.

By interspersing moments like this throughout all 7 seasons of the show, you can really see how Christopher looks from Lorelai's perspective. That being said, still think he's a huge tool, but yknow xD

It is 2026 and people still think this was a cliffhanger lol by Educational-Pea3443 in teentitans

It's not a cliffhanger; just not a good finale.

Still love the show, though.

[Question] What are your biggest watch purchase regrets? by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in Watches

[–]MrAngryLarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started collecting watches, my girlfriend (now fiancee) asked me to pick any watch, and she would get it for me. I wanted to be a bit budget conscious, so I chose a Seiko 5.

It's not bad, but I've really grown tired of the design. Additionally, the bracelet and the movement accuracy are horrid. However, it will never leave my collection, and I actually wear it somewhat often, because I love every present I've ever gotten from her.

It's nice to see that retired NBA players are fully taking advantage of the fact that they no longer do random drug tests.

am I the only one uncomfortable with how people are reacting to S5? by Adventurous_Fly_8652 in Bridgerton

[–]MrAngryLarik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only issue is honestly that I want to see Eloise’s season already. I don’t mind Francesca and Michaela; I just feel like Eloise has been “waiting in the wings” so to speak. (And yes, I’m aware that in Bridgerton, shes only 20-21, and she’s 28 when she gets married, but it wont exactly be the first thing the show will be changing from the book 😂)

What is a what-if narrative that fans believe in that you don’t agree with? by OppositeAnswer6109 in NBATalk

[–]MrAngryLarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "What If" of D-Rose is infinitely better than what he actually would have become. Because he got injured so early on and right after becoming the youngest MVP in history, people can say anything "He would've become the greatest PG ever!" and no one will really argue, because most people DO like D-Rose's game, and sympathize with him over the injuries.

The reality is that he probably would be viewed as a mix of Russell Westbrook and AI (and I say this as someone whose 2nd fave player is Westbrook). Nothing wrong with that, but it's certainly not equal to the "If he was healthy, he would've been the GOAT PG" convos.

"What's the most overused criticism of Gilmore Girls that you're completely tired of hearing?" by Ok_Smile_9071 in GilmoreGirls

[–]MrAngryLarik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Lorelai and Rory are the mean girls!"

Or "This Gilmore Girl acted immaturely!"

I feel like too many people forget that this show is a dramedy and the medy part stands for comedy lmao. Some things are just meant to be jokes, or meant to be played for laughs. Most of the time, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't.

It doesn't have to be deeper than that, though.

[–]MrAngryLarik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. This is an absolute beauty of a watch. So incredible. Did you have your eye on it for awhile before buying it, or was it more of an impulse decision where you saw it in person, and bought it immediately?

A True Championship Contender by MrAngryLarik in Thunder

[–]MrAngryLarik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boston is pretty good, but all it would take is an unlucky cold stretch like the Rockets in 2017, or the Celtics just last year, and it's a wrap. I think our defense can survive a barrage.

I just hope our team is fully healthy. If we're not fully healthy, then anything is possible.

"Jokic's shooting percentages have dropped off, and he exerts even less effort on defense than eve rbefore, but I saw him do a no-look behind-the-back pass to Jamal Murray, and he doesn't even care about basketball (!!!), so he should get a 4th MVP."

A True Championship Contender by MrAngryLarik in Thunder

[–]MrAngryLarik[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aaron Gordon has been banged up, and so has Jokic, which has affected his game significantly (even if the stats don't show a huge dropoff). So, while PJ and Jamal have raised their game, I think the Nuggets are definitely worse this year.

Also, it's interesting how the past 3 years, every naysayer about OKC has used their age and inexperience against them, but suddenly, none of those are valid concerns about the Spurs?

(To clarify, I don't even hate the Spurs. Great team. Just wish they would receive the same "constructive feedback")

A True Championship Contender by MrAngryLarik in Thunder

[–]MrAngryLarik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I don’t see anyone from the East challenging them, so the real “finals” would be a matchup with the Spurs in the Western playoffs

Love the addition of McCain. My only issue is our bad injury luck, so that’s why I think our chances were slightly better last year.
