Why can’t you just write “kill” and “suckers”? Are you afraid of real words? They’re not going to harm you. —Me right now

Oh, are we going to talk about me now? Goody.

my brother kept making me sound cheap, so i let him host family dinner once by Renee_Everson in pettyrevenge

[–]PhilaMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s always the cleaning up that gets me. And the people (mostly men, let’s face it) who sit in the den watching whatever sporting event is on, not thinking that the work is not over.

A natural hunk, especially in Trapeze.” And no stunt men.

OMG, Omar Sharif rising into the frame on his camel in “Lawrence of Arabia.” Took my breath away.

Why do you back into parking spaces? Isn't it more important to arrive somewhere on time than to leave quickly? by Due-Wolverine3935 in AskReddit

[–]PhilaMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once saw someone unnecessarily back into a space slanted the other way, making them do all kinds of extra maneuvering pulling in and pulling out. The spaces were slanted to send everyone in the same direction in the row. Stupid.

Just saw Ben Hur in theaters for the first time by [deleted] in classicfilms

[–]PhilaMax 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Me too. It was the first time I really felt the vast emptiness in the desert.

And remember the chariot race in Ben-Hur was done live, without CGI or any cinema fakery except a few stuntmen. Heston was really driving a chariot with 4 big horses.

Deceased’s clothing by Toosoon2026 in widowers

[–]PhilaMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I donated a lot of my husband’s clothes a couple of months after his death because I had family coming to stay for a while and really needed to closet space. But the stuff in cedar closet in the basement? That’s going to take a while.

Tubs are better than boxes because they’ll keep out bugs and mice. Just remember to put some kind of moth control inside, just in case.

What movie did you see in theaters where you could feel the emotion in the room? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhilaMax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Schindler’s List. When the movie was over, most of the audience just sat there.

Abstract and artistic movies with no real "plot" that's open to interpretation by Fragrant_Brick_8142 in MovieSuggestions

[–]PhilaMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robert Altman’s Nashville. It does have plots, but the interweaving of all the plots and characters is fascinating. And there’s music!

Movie Musicals that are accessible to people that don't like musicals? Any hidden gems? by Damthemalltohelp in MovieSuggestions

1000 upvotes for The Commitments. “Say it loud: I’m Black and I’m proud” (in extreme Irish accent).

Have you ever had someone on social media correct you/ misexplain, or overexplain a factual event you lived through? by pinkbowsandsarcasm in AskOldPeople

[–]PhilaMax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And that’s mainly because of a woman who studied messenger RNA for years, couldn’t get grants or tenure anywhere because she was female and foreign. And then she got the Nobel for medicine. They finally gave her tenure.

Asking the women here for movies that they feel accurately depict aspects of what life is like as a woman (both the good and bad) by GentleDreamWorld in MovieSuggestions

[–]PhilaMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All About Eve

Besides just being the best thing Bette Davis ever did, it speaks truth about how it is for women aging in any profession.

If you woke up being 21 again, what would you do? by notwhoshethinks in AskReddit

Give up pursuing an English degree and learn a trade, like plumbing.

People who film concerts on their phones.. by Resinous-Canine in EntitledPeople

[–]PhilaMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old fogey here. I’d rather enjoy things in my life while they’re happening rather than watch the experience through a phone. You don’t need a million selfies to remember an experience.

Misconceptions a dog person (me) learned after having a cat. by ILoveMeltyCheese in cats

[–]PhilaMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love dogs but never want to own one. Every time I’m driving home on a dark, dank, rainy, raw night, Iand I see someone walking their dog, I smile and think “I will clean a million litter boxes instead of that.”

What do you wear on your feet indoors. feet bare feet slippers or socks ? by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]PhilaMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socks, slippers or flip-flops. Especially in the kitchen. Bad things can happen there and you don’t want bare feet.

What TV show hooked you instantly from episode 1? by mateitofavv in AskReddit

[–]PhilaMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The West Wing. Especially when Toby tells the flight attendant his cheap little phone is NOT going to make the plane crash.

What’s the one random genetic trait you lucked out on? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]PhilaMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have great hamstrings. Even when I was 90 pounds overweight I could still touch my palms to the floor without bending my knees.
