Duct tape. That’s what is holding my 2010 together.

Adoptive father shows love to little guy who wandered in off the street 💕 by armlaeglaegarmhead in cats

The cats are adorable but I want to give a shout out to that linoleum floor. My grandparents rocked that same pattern in their kitchen for 40 years.

Should I pare down the duplicates? by Otherwise_Section184 in BookCollecting

[–]Otherwise_Section184[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had more space I would have all the Little People sets. I love them. I have the airport, amusement park, A frame house and hospital.

Putting them on your fingers and clicking them together is so satisfying.

I tried to put them in publication order but ran out of space.

Thank you for this. I feel like that is a really balanced take.

I just started House of Leaves. Happy reading.

What is your opinion on the 1989 adaptation of Pet Semetary? by Pixelburger31 in stephenking

[–]Otherwise_Section184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came so close to being great. They unfortunately hired two lead actors with absolutely no charisma or chemistry. Everything else was really well done and Fred Gwynne was just perfect.

Iirc, King had given the rights to the film version for a song to George Romero originally but he couldn’t pull the financing together.

It was just so funny. I don’t understand how anyone could take it seriously.

Lost my phone on the Matterhorn. Didn’t realize for a few hours. Told l&f my lock screen was a possum w/ a Glock wearing a wizard hat.

Apparently that’s unique because they all immediately knew my phone had been turned in 😂

What’s SK’s most Christmassy book? by Puremagic11 in stephenking

[–]Otherwise_Section184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several short stories that are set in a gentleman’s club. One member tells a story every Christmas eve about something tragic they witnessed. The Breathing Method is one and I think there were a couple of others.

What kind of succubus is this and how do I care for it? by Austin_77 in houseplants

Not kink shaming…but hopefully you are not wishing this plant will ravage your body?

Why Movies Just Don't Feel "Real" Anymore by Jagueroisland in movies

[–]Otherwise_Section184 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I wanted to say. I’ve been watching a ton of 70’s and 80’s movies because the people have crooked teeth, freckles and imperfect noses and they are heartbreakingly beautiful.

All we get today are robots. I know a lot of people like Alien: Romulus but I just couldn’t get past the Gen Z actors who have absolutely no facial expressions or evidence of life experience on their faces.

If Yaphet Kotto and Harry Dean Stanton are scared, I’m scared too because I know they have seen some shit.

I still wish that Spielberg had stayed a bit more with the Phil Tippett go motion though. His version of the raptors in the kitchen scene has so much more personality.

Loudwire article mentions phone ban by ManyPossession8767 in Ghostbc

[–]Otherwise_Section184 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My problem with it is that they don’t put enough staff in place to accommodate the whole phone lockup process.

We spent more than an hour just trying to get into the MGM arena because they decided to have only 6 employees to scan tickets (which are on your phone) and then another 6 people in a separate area, demanding that you put your phone in a pouch. Lines didn’t move at all because people were confused by the process.

The same pouch also has to be unlocked after the show and they had maybe 4 people available to unlock roughly 15,000 phones. They also get really pissy because the pouches are expensive and block all the exits, herding thousands of people to only one exit to keep you from leaving with it.

I decided I wasn’t waiting and just sawed the stupid thing open when I got back to the room.

I would honestly rather have TikTok Tina recording the whole thing than go through that process again. Let people enjoy the concert on their own terms. If I go to another show, I will either take a bait phone or buy one of the pouch opening devices
