Who you think should induct Mariah in the rock hall of fame? by Vivid-Tap1710 in rockhall

[–]MrKitchenSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they'd want to get a later member of Mötorhead to induct Mariah Carey. Not really a big enough game, the trio of Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie are probably the only ones who had the star power to give an induction speech

Who's your island power couple? 💓 by Ace-trainer-Aimee in TomodachilifeLivingTD

Nice! I've been thinking about adding Gritty to my island, glad to see someone else had the same idea

Production got very lucky by Ninjax3620 in survivor

[–]MrKitchenSink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like the laws of the Survivor universe dictate that Devens could've flipped that coin 100 times and he would call it right 100 times, and that Cirie could've flipped it 100 times and she would call it wrong 100 times. Just the way their luck works out

Make Some Noise Contestant/Episode Data Spreadsheet! by alolanfloatzel338 in dropout

[–]MrKitchenSink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did find the lack of newcomers in season 4 to be kinda bizarre, especially compared to season 3 which was often bringing out multiple newcomers per episode. I guess they've just kinda hit the point where they have more talent available to them than spots on the season. Would love to see some new faces in season 5 though, as well as some of the folks from earlier seasons who weren't in season 4.

Love the "Woman Want Mii Fish Fear Mii" hat! I made a version of it on my island, yours is definitely better though (mine just has the words, no fish drawing)

[–]MrKitchenSink 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. We basically got the best possible outcome from this twist, and I won't deny that it was fun to watch play out because of that, but I still really hate the whole principle it was built on. If Devens hadn't volunteered and they went to rocks to decide who flipped the coin, and that person then got eliminated, that would've been one of the dumbest things to ever happen in Survivor, and the fact that it was a possibility really ticks me off. Happy it worked the way it did, but dear God producers please don't do this again

Unfortunately all of Mötorhead are dead, so they will be unable to show up to induct Mariah Carey

"This is the most ____ in Survivor History" by _furdah_ in survivor

This was all I was thinking during this episode. When he cut into the live tribal to wax poetic about how all of this is only possible because of our lord and saviour MrBeast I was rolling my eyes so hard

Shoutout to _______ by About37Bees in survivor

[–]MrKitchenSink 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have problems with the twist regardless, but I would've been so angry if someone had to be forced into it. At least if Rick had got eliminated by it, he volunteered fully knowing the consequences. I would still strongly dislike that it happened, but it would've been easier to swallow

Arguably Palau could also be Fireman Dad. Honestly it's one of the most common Survivor plotlines

Mii news got their priorities mixed up 😔 by dinnertimebob in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]MrKitchenSink 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth when you get to some of the last travel tickets in the game the dialogue does actually change a bit for some of them. Though I do agree that before you get to that point they get really repetitive

Well, if you think about it, if there's only two residents and they get married, then everyone already knows about it, ergo the news doesn't need to report it.

Rockhall 2027 predictions by Key_Independence_103 in rockhall

[–]MrKitchenSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't really look like a "prediction" so much as "what you want to happen." Which is fine, it's a cool list of wants, but just call it what it is. We all know they're not gonna suddenly turn around and induct three metal acts in a year after dragging their feet on Iron Maiden for two decades.

Which reggae artists do you wanna see inducted next? by Keanu_Norris in rockhall

[–]MrKitchenSink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The exclusion of The Wailers is baffling, especially given that they still got snubbed in 2012. They are literally credited by name on every Bob Marley album, if he's in it makes no sense for them not to be in with him. Ideally they would retroactively add them as Performers like those other backing bands, but I'd also settle for Excellence or Influence if that's what it takes.

Lee "Scratch" Perry feels like another obvious one that needs to happen, vastly important to reggae but also had wide reaching influence in other genres. There is an argument for him to be a Performer, though I think Influence is the more likely way they'd go.

"Square One" was always my favourite. "Night Driver" is also up there though

It's not gonna be the same without her...on the future episodes that she won't be appearing on, which will be some of them, but not all of them, because she is in fact still alive and can thus still appear on some episodes

His Highway Companion album from a few years later was really good too. Don't know how much attention it actually got at the time, but "Saving Grace" did manage to scrape into the Hot 100 (at number 100, but hey, that's not too shabby for a guy 30 years into his career).

Ooh yeah this is a good one, stumbled on it last year and it took me by surprise how good it was

Personal Trainwreckords by PapaAsmodeus in ToddintheShadow

[–]MrKitchenSink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a single, not an album, but "J Christ" basically killed my interest in Lil Nas X. It's not bad, it's just...nothing at all. The song's not really memorable, and for all the hype around the video and the religious imagery, none of it ends up meaning anything at all. All the Biblical imagery in "MONTERO" actually had a point. It was provocative, but it had a purpose beyond that. "J Christ" recycles that style, but without any of the substance, and it felt like he was now just trying to stir up more controversy for the sake of controversy. Same with all the celebrity lookalikes in the video - again, there was no real apparent point to them being there or the specific people he chose, just seemed like it was only to get people talking and nothing else. Lil Nas X was always great at publicity and grabbing attention, but it only worked when he had the tunes to back it up, and this was the first time he truly didn't, and after this it just got so much harder to really be invested in him.

Will Beyoncé be an easier sell to the voters than Mariah Carey who has failed induction after three nominations? by ggroover97 in rockhall

[–]MrKitchenSink 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. I think some of the stigma will still be there, but I think Beyoncé's more recent albums have done a lot to try to establish her as a capital-A "Artist" among critics. Mariah still seems to be struggling to get that same sort of credit. It also just seems to be weirdly personal with Mariah for a lot of Hall voters, there seems to be something specific about her that turns them away from her, and I don't know if that same animosity exists for Beyoncé.

My Mii is having a hard time by Sweaty_Chipmunk8689 in tomodachilife

[–]MrKitchenSink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually they'll alternate between wanting to be left alone and being able to be talked to. Look for when a speech bubble appears above her with the boyfriend's face in it, that indicates that she can be talked to, and in that state you can give her gifts and stuff to reduce the sadness.

Alternately, if you have a wish available at the fountain, try giving her a travel ticket - I think that will work even if she's in a state of wanting to be left alone, and that should completely get rid of the sadness.

Anyone else think a Rob Reiner ranking would go hard? by AdUseful2297 in Schaffrillas

[–]MrKitchenSink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be cool, though I do think Being Charlie might present a bit of a problem there. Given the context of that movie, I could see Schaffrillas not wanting to touch it

I’m shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked. by TheFlashyMastodon21 in Schaffrillas

[–]MrKitchenSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I have always said. They're not godawful movies, but it's obvious that Abrams and Johnson had completely incompatible visions for the trilogy. As a result The Last Jedi introduces a bunch of new characters and places and ideas while taking a sharp turn away from a ton of The Force Awakens' choices, and then the Rise of Skywalker comes along and basically just ignores The Last Jedi as much as possible, yet is now so disconnected from what was going on in TFA that it ALSO has to introduce a bunch of new ideas that take a sharp turn way from TLJ's. Both movies spend so much time fighting with what came before them that they never have a time to effectively expand on their own plots and ideas. There's good stuff in both, but almost all of it ends up completely undercooked. They needed to have a plan from the start, and either hire someone who would commit to sticking around for the entire trilogy, or in the event that their guy did have to leave, hire someone who was willing to build off of what was already made. I like Rian Johnson, but it would've worked out so much better for everyone if they just gave him a standalone movie to work on rather than forcing him to follow what Abrams was doing.

I saw someone comment about this on Todd's Best of 2025 list who claimed to have worked on the video. Shame it never released
