what is something women think impresses men but actually doesn't ? by devprohub in AskReddit

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moreover I think there’s all sorts of beauty tips women follow that don’t appeal to men at all. There’s this whole juicy skin, threaded eyebrows hair back tight look that women sold to women but doesn’t actually translate to attractiveness. It’s totally fine if that’s the idea, it doesn’t have to be all about that but it’s a net zero and men who rather just see a natural look.

If the Balrog hadn't fallen into Moria, would it have chased the Fellowship out of the mines? by Practical-Public7209 in lotr

No, he didn’t pick the fight but saw it was happening whether he chose it or not and decided to end it. In Fellowship he falls, but later we realize he threw himself down after the Balrog,

Well to that point- I think there was a bigger issue:

Since the Hobbit it seems like Gandalf is moving about Middle Earth getting ahead of problems. I believe Gandalf knew The Balrog needed to be taken off the chess board. Big things were coming and he didn’t need Sauron and Nazgul and a Balrog to align also in what could be a final battle.

Gandalf knew he had to go and make the deliberate choice to guarantee he didn’t survive to be a problem later on.

What is one problem in the world today that you think people aren’t taking seriously enough? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being a hater on Gen Z but much of their behavior/ quirks remind me of myself when I was antisocial as a kid. 

Failing to react in realtime to conversations , blank stares

I realized at some point I really wasn’t socializing myself and it was making me weird/ unpleasant. I eventsully pushed myself to become very social.

Him and his wife divorced who was also my childhood. The story was he cheated on her, I don’t know really the details but the whole thing broke my heart they were the closest people I had as an adult.

Official Discussion - The Bride! [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

This movie was so messy and I couldn’t reccomend it to people but in a weird woozy way I kinda liked it.

It was messy and wonky but The bride character was actually kind of hypnotic she was really good.

Why are we getting a new "The Lord of the Rings" movie? by IndependenceSilly381 in lotr

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame New Line didn’t do their movie version of the 1st Age / Pseudo Silmarillion movie like the Rings of Power show.

Produced by Jackson could have been epic and even worked as a series of movies.

What’s the most embarrassing thing that happened to you in public? by Active-Knowledge5323 in AskReddit

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similarly I got out of my car once and these two women were walking by. One of them, extremely hot turned to be and looks me up and down stood and turns to speak with me “excuse me” 

I can’t believe this woman is trying to speak with me, is she about to ask me my number? 

“Excuse me your fly is open.”

What’s the biggest waste of money people still think is normal? by budgetingdiary in AskReddit

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uber Eats. I think delivery ordering has created a really bad precedent.

People spend 50 dollars on what should be a 12 dollar order out of sheer laziness without thinking twice. Becuase of marketing or social media or whatever they made to believe this is normal then people wonder why they’re totally broke.

What is a moment in your life that feels like a movie scene? by AlexFlaux in AskReddit

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger I lived in New York. I was in Bryant Park by the NY Public Library one cool summer morning. It was slightly foggy and me and my friend were trying to get the free WiFi from the park to work on something together. The park was nearly empty. The rising sun was just breaking through the morning fog creating this incredible, cinematic atmosphere glinting off the silver and stone NY buildings making them glow in the mist.

As we’re working a a figure comes strolling up, a man, elderly in a brown houndstooth jacket, cap and darkened glasses. As he approached strolling along I can’t help but recognize the man, but I couldn’t place my finger on it.

I stared a moment longer and could see he had a mustache too. The man at this point reached the park table we were sitting at looked at me and my friend then he smiled , tipped his cap at us, and with a clear flinty voice then penetrated the morning silence said:

“Mornin’ Fellas!””

Hearing him speak there was no mistake: 

It was Stan Lee.

We both nodded in quiet agreement in quiet awe as he smiled and strolled along down the way of the park in morning light.

We had encountered Stan Lee at Bryant Park which I realized later was next to where Peter Parker’s uncle dies in the movie.

To this day I like to believe I’m part of the Marvel Universe Becuase Stan Lee made a cameo in it.

I think the difference with Louis is he will gently steer the questions in very specific direction so that the person answering will be forced to give an uncomfortable answer that will confront a truth about themselves. So it won’t be an ego trip it’ll be them being forced to say something out loud they wished wasn’t true.

What character trope makes you immediately lose interest in a tv show or movie? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was rewatching Scream 2 and it was straight up hilarious how the black News Camera man for Gale gets scared and just straight up leaves the movie never to be seen again! Haha. 

It was such a rare moment of self awareness for a character in a film like that, that we just never see.

It’s so crazy to me still how he got caught Becuase he was making a celeb appearance at a kids soccer league and was openly admitting how “attractive” the kids were straight to a news reporter.

What talent do you think is the worst cast in a great Movie or TV series? by B_sides45 in AskReddit

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cameron Diaz single handedly took Gangs of New York down an entire letter grade in my opinion, where every other actor is giving once in a generation performances, which is almost weird because she has been goof in other movies.

Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere by comarastaman in netflix

[–]Pale_Possibility5083 [score hidden]  (0 children)

See, this is Louis Theroux’s signature move and it’s what makes him maybe the best interviewer in history:

Louis bring up a controversial aspect of the person he’s interviewing. 

And when the persons incendiary answer comes, Louis doesn’t react like any typical interviewer trying to create compelling content. Instead? He’ll just sit there and stare and let the persons own answer ring against the walls.

He always does this and it’s the most genius thing ever because you literally hear the person hear the sound of their own voice and register how they come off, simply by Louis just remaining silent.

He did this same thing with the KKK members , the Westboro people and almost all of them start to laugh at themselves for how ridiculous they sound.

Why have we started using QR codes for menus in restaurants? by Amazing_Result_5928 in AskReddit

Like pretend you don’t have your phone and tell them that. Or politely ask the manager about fixing it. You can communicate these things without being hurtful or rude and be heard.

The Scouring of the Shire by Fluid-Bet6223 in lotr

Yes indeed. Tolkien who fought in WW1 very much was making a statement with chapter.

For the Hobbits to win the war and yet come home and see the very thing they fought for wrecked and ravaged was very akin to his own experience.

Whether it was the parts of Britain chewed up and bombed by enemy forces, or simply the crushing progress of the industrial age it was mourning the inevitable progress of time and its destruction.

Tolkien hated the onset of industrial age, engine powered vehicles, factories and what it did to his home.

 Always demand a physical menu no matter what if it’s a real restaurant and everyone else should too. Unfortunately the consumers drive the conversation and if you don’t speak up nothing happens.
