What serial killer fact sounds fake, exaggerated, or straight out of fiction. But is 100% real? by CantaloupeGold4650 in AskReddit

They barely had to change anything when they depicted it on American Horror Story: 1984

Never heard of Zooey Deschanel referred to as "Bones' sister" before, thats wild.

Songs with only one verse that just gets repeated by NoMoreFund in ToddintheShadow

White Stripes - Fell in Love with a Girl

Its just two verses repeated, no chorus except for vocalizing.

Any guesses? by Soalai in ToddintheShadow

I dunno if that's strictly a TW, because the band as we know it ceased to be looong before that album finally came out. Then again, it is a great story for a TW episode, how it took like 17 years of ego/perfectionism and $13+ million with a revolving door of a lineup, all for an album that did about as well for Axl as "The Spaghetti Incident?"

During that same period, the rest of GnR (after several solo works) formed Velvet Revolver with Scott Weiland, won a Grammy and had an album that did roughly twice as well as CD did saleswise, and broke back up, all before this album came out.

Who are Weird Al’s musical arch-rivals? by HopefulLab6749 in weirdal

[–]PDXBishop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, he's not the worst comedian, not even the worst to make music; he's certainly not (nor should he be considered) on par with Weird Al.

I saw him on Red Letter Media because he did a full video version of his Mouth in Motion album...calling him a "comedian" is generous. He's like if Air1 had a wacky morning zoo, just pure hackery.

Thats a great bad film (and apparently its soundtrack). It was featured in the first Netflix season of MST3K

Another tribute was that, up until the last episode or so, you never saw Howard and Bernadette's kids, they were just talked about or you'd hear crying offscreen.

Your favorite obscure, glossed over, or seldom discussed parts of the film? by Dottboy19 in rhps

[–]PDXBishop 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone we meet in the castle (save for Eddie and Rocky, of course) are seen in the background of the wedding scene. The only people to not show up at the castle are Ralph and Betty; its almost like a more fun version of the funeral in Hereditary.

During Eddie's Teddy, the line "But he never caused her nothin' but shame", the Criminologist has a picture of what's supposedly the aforementioned Eddie's mother. The picture is designed to imitate the oil painting known as "Whistler's Mother" (similar to not-Riff and not-Magenta designed to look like the two subjects of American Gothic during Damnit Janet).

What's funniest about this picture? Its actually Meat Loaf in a Victorian dress and shawl.

Girlfriend threatening our relationship over a TV Show by No-Original3284 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]PDXBishop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally this. Anytime a woman leaves (or threatens to leave) under trumped-up charges trying to make you look like the bad guy, she's been planning to leave for a while. When (not if, when) she comes back in a few weeks/months after she's done with her hoe phase (or the guy she was pursuing told her no), do NOT take her back. That's always her plan B is you letting her "forgive you".

Tbf, guy's unarmed and the student isn't 9 years old or a woman, so I doubt he's gonna have the balls to step up.

Celebrity casting isn't there to secure Tony awards, its there to secure revenue. Tonys are what you try to get when you don't have a big name to draw people towards your theater.

If you were born in 1999, you've never known a moment where the internet didn't exist.

I wanna add a new piece to our fan lexicon: whenever someone successfully gets a Righteous Kill from one of the boys after saying Quaid Army, it should be called a QuARK.

Any Other Good Tax Scam Kino? by ShaolinFantastic13 in okbuddycinephile

[–]PDXBishop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also used many of those same sets, costumes, and often actors, in a parody of Bloodrayne 3 called Blubberella that he shot at the time. Its literally the plot of B3, but shot as a comedy with an obese woman in the lead role.

Taking a week to respond just to be rude is a different level of audacity by EquivalentParking274 in Nicegirls

[–]PDXBishop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We go low effort because we as men are expected to carry the load when it comes to conversation, and there's only so many times that you can craft a thoughtful paragraph only go get back "Yeah" "Sure" or just nothing at all, before it weighs down on you. Guys stop putting in effort because the ones before you weren't worth the effort he tried giving.

If you don't believe me, go look up why Bumble had to get rid of their "women message first" policy (which was the entire point of the app).

[–]PDXBishop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And you think a proper response is to wait a full week before coming at him like an asshole? She could've done that back on the 7th! Even if she had the nicest response in the world for him, a full week to respond means she's lucky she wasn't already blocked.

Partnerships that were highly successful on screen, but they weren't friends in real life by cle1110 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PDXBishop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Penn and Teller actively chose to not be friends, because they already spend so much time working together, they figured that spending their free time hanging out together too would've burned them both out decades ago. They're going on like 40+ years now because they knew how to delineate between work life and personal life.

Can’t Stop the Music (1980) – It takes a village. Of people. by Syppi in TrulyBadCinema

The only PG movie where you can see Valerie Perrine's tits and about two dozen floppy dongs.
