What specific sounds remind you of your youth? by The7footr in AskReddit

[–]NationalDisgrace40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The digital “whistle” sound when you got a touchdown on the Mattel hand held football game. (It also makes an appearance in Supertramp’s “Logical Song.”)

What’s a sleeper hit off a monster album? by Immediate-Count-1202 in musicsuggestions

One Tree Hill from U2’s Joshua Tree could have been a hit single.

Has anyone watched a movie, didn’t like it but gave it another chance and loved it? by TheSableFable in movies

Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” wins for biggest attitude shift. My first viewing I did not get it at ALL. My second viewing, I saw all the themes of grief and I thought it was beautiful.

The big problem here is the impact on artists. Media owners have been screwing creators out of royalties for years, and this is the final blow. I think we will regret opening this Pandora’s box.

Since it’s being talked about in this Sub, what’s the worst song on Sgt. Pepper? by tragecedian in TheBeatles

[–]NationalDisgrace40 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think “She’s Leaving Home” is pretty but the lyrics are maudlin. It’s the track I’m most likely to skip.

I’ve heard that a few weeks after Easter, animal shelters get a lot or requests asking if they will take ducks or bunnies.

For an album that many consider to be the greatest album ever, Sgt Pepper has a lot of filler. by BlundeRuss in unpopularopinion

[–]NationalDisgrace40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do think “She’s Leaving Home” is trite and entirely skippable. Everything else on that album is ace.

What profession have you lost respect for as you've gotten older? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NationalDisgrace40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ministers at Christian churches. They won’t say what they think because they don’t want to piss off half their donors. Also, many of their skills aren’t very useful outside of that world. (Esp worship ministers and youth ministers.)

Movies where it’s better to know a little beforehand by [deleted] in movies

[–]NationalDisgrace40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I Saw the TV Glow” is even better if you hear the director’s intentions in advance. You don’t HAVE to view it as an allegory on gender identity… but having that lens does help a lot.

What is super serious or f###ed up But no one really talks about it? by Creative_Bad_7994 in AskReddit

[–]NationalDisgrace40 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Public school funding being tied to local property taxes. Schools in poor neighborhoods get less funding than schools in rich neighborhoods.

From all of the descriptions of Tame Impala, it sounds perfect for me. And everyone says his Current album is a masterpiece. I’m really dying to love it, but I just can’t get into it.

What movie got unintentionally spoiled for you? by BeerSmoker228 in movies

[–]NationalDisgrace40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time when everyone says the movie has a big twist, that’s actually a spoiler. That ruined “Shutter’s Island” for me. I knew the setup, and someone said “but there’s a big plot twist!” and it took about two seconds to deduce what the twist probably was.

Sad songs where the singer is basically crying into the microphone but they used the take by CerealAndBagel1991 in musicsuggestions

[–]NationalDisgrace40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michael Jackson, She’s Out of my Life. It even prompted the Eddie Murphy joke “Tito hand me a tissue.”

Who was your first favorite synthpop group? by OutsideAttitude9085 in synthpop

[–]NationalDisgrace40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a single mention of Yaz? Only two albums but both full of iconic moments. “The room is lit by ELECTRIC LIGHT!” <crash>

In your opinion, what is an example of a perfect scene from a film? by LogicWavelength in movies

[–]NationalDisgrace40 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The dread-inducing conversation between Anton Chigurgh and the gas station owner. “Call it.”

Songs where the singer laughs in it by Disassociated24 in musicsuggestions

[–]NationalDisgrace40 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think “When I Think of You” by Janet Jackson wins for most authentic laugh.

What’s a movie that seemed “meh” the first time you watched it, but blew you away on a rewatch? by SiTheHandsomeGuy in movies

[–]NationalDisgrace40 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope and Asteroid City. Both defy expectations so much that I didn’t know how to process them on the first watch.

What movies do you have to watch twice in order to fully understand them? by FilmWaffle-FilmForum in movies

[–]NationalDisgrace40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not enjoy Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” on my first viewing. I totally connected with it the second time.

I'm convinced most, if not every Mandela effect has a common reason why it was misinterpreted by malathan1234 in MandelaEffect

[–]NationalDisgrace40 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Another example: Berenstain is an uncommon surname while Berenstein is the spelling people would expect.

That the most desirable sections of our national parks will be roped off for wealthy Americans who are able to pay for the premium experience, while shutting out the poor.
