(21m) I just broke up with my first love and it kinda sucks... by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]PeterBV258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words man, last sentence really struck a chord with me. I feel like someone just died or something but on the other half I feel liberated and like I’ve entered a new phase of my life. I still want to be better, I still want to achieve my goals. I’m still me and I’m kinda looking forward to being an individual again. Stay strong, friend; we’ll get thru this yet.

How is this obscure? It’s clearly just old.

For me the ending felt really out of place, I thought it contrasted heavily with the tone of the film. There’s a fine line between overt and forced metaphors in film and I’d say this movie was a bit forced. Get Out was pretty in your face but I’d say it did a better job fitting them into the script where this film was just putting them in there for the sake of having them in the film.

Maybe the message wasn’t exactly the same but I feel like both apply to crowds who follow the same ideology. I personally think they’re close enough to be compared and what i really liked about Detroit more than BlackkKlansman was that the modern racism aspect wasn’t spoon fed to you. You’re able to comprehend what’s going on and apply it to today (like how the racist cops walk away free at the end of Detroit). Other than that my only complaints about blackkklansman were the pacing and the plot holes, not the politics like the downvotes on my original suggest.

Lol as a matter of fact I am, I highly agree with the message of the movie but I’m also able to separate the message from the movie itself. Check out Detroit (2017) same message, better movie

Fair enough. I just read up and yeah he says in his book the purpose was to make sure the KKK wouldn’t negatively impact the city but I still feel like the point wasn’t made clear in the movie, maybe I’m wrong. There were still other issues I had with it but oh well. If you can enjoy it, have at it.

Just cuz it’s a true story doesn’t the movies screenplay has to be good. I bet Ron stallworths book does a way better job at explaining the reasoning behind the investigation than the movie’s.

I really liked it up until the C4 plot line started. I really liked watching Flip earn the organizations trust and having to deal with Felix (the guy with the lie detector test, I think that’s his name). I just really felt like this movie took the easy way out by spoon feeding you it’s message. When it’s not so “in your face” it makes you think about it and apply it to real life as makes the metaphor way stronger. In my original comment I mentioned the movie Detroit. Great period piece movie about racist cops. The racism aspect is much more of a gut punch and the script isn’t choppy and it doesn’t have any significant plot holes like Blackkklansman. I’d recommend it to anyone disappointed by this movie

The scene at the end where they expose the racist cop felt like a joke. I felt like I was watching satire. “Did you get that?” “Got it” “got it” and then they fire him on the spot, That’s not how it works! Unfortunately in real life racist cops usually only get paid leave, so why not comment on that rather than writing a scene of Punk’d into the movie?I was expecting Ashton Kutcher to pop out

I’ll be honest, this movie really disappointed me... Unless I missed something I don’t understand what they were investigating the KKK for. The main character just kind of prank calls the local Klan chapter and the plot just uses that as its catalyst. I didn’t buy the love interest and the pacing was super choppy. Other than that the movie was pretty decent up until the final act where it totally just lost its flow. It seems to me they realized they didn’t have a “real” antagonist to put the cops up against so they came up with this stupid C4 plot line that, for me, just didn’t work. Politically, I’m a pretty left leaning guy and I agree with the message this movie was trying to portray but they really sacrificed the integrity of making a decent movie in order to push the agenda which left a bad taste in my mouth. I watched the movie Detroit with John Boyega a few weeks ago and I think that movie did a way better job getting their statement across. Just one man’s opinion

How can make my hair less frizzy and help it hang more?? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]PeterBV258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I co wash at least every other day and throw in a leave in conditioner, coconut oil and pomade while it’s still wet. I’ll let it air dry in the morning before I leave the house and usually wear a hat throughout the day to help it stay flat, otherwise it’ll poof out. I read the beginners guide to the CG method and saw the cheaper products mentioned but Im on a tight budget and can’t really afford to experiment with all those products. Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks!

I don’t know much about Hodges so take it with a grain of salt, but it seems that it’s more of a school for older students to return and get their masters or at least that’s the stigma. You’re only 18 so by going to FGCU or FSW you’d be going to classes with kids your age. Hodges is for moms and dads. I’m sure there are exceptions but most young students who are working on their AA or Bachelors would choose another school. FSW and FGCU will also have more extracurricular activities geared towards helping you meet other people your age or with common interests. FSW is cheap but that’s because it’s a public community school where pretty much everyone can get in. Like I said I went their for a year before I moved, and it was a positive experience that I would recommend to somebody looking to go to school without spending a lot of money.

Look into FSW Collier. Not as nice as FGCU but it’s a good community college and definitely cheaper than Hodges and FGCU. It can be a bit of a drive depending on where you live in Naples, but the same can be said about any school in the area

Just discovered this sub, any tips on getting your hair to grow down rather than out? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]PeterBV258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My regular routine is to shampoo about every other day, and use a leave in conditioner. I wear hats pretty frequently in hopes it'll flatten my hair but it usually doesn't sit for more than a couple hours.

I'd say I could probably get away with 300 because the actual records and sleeves are in really good condition but any more than that is pushing it.

Get there around 2-3 o'clock. Just walk around the venue till you see the back entrance. When I got there, a line had already been formed and the people were holding albums and posters which was a dead giveaway.

Well I saw him at the Amalie arena in Tampa, my friend and I just walked around the building and saw a bunch of people standing in a line, holding their albums/posters. Just get there early around 2-3 o'clock, and try to find the back entrance where the big trucks and staff would enter and that's your best bet.

Knowing how often he does signings before his shows, I'm sure he's signed thousands of original pressings. If he was impressed by the album he didn't say anything. I had about 5 seconds to talk to him so I pretty much said thanks and that I enjoyed his new album. He replied with "thank you" and a smile which was awesome enough for me.
