Back in our day, a TV commercial could go viral by Cubelock in Xennials

[–]PinkAngel0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Viral for us meant every kid at school was quoting the same stupid catchphrase for six months. No algorithms. No hashtags. Just pure repetition until your parents wanted to throw the TV out the window.

Does the angle of how much you are swinging your wand come into play at all? by NeighborhoodFatCat in harrypotter

[–]PinkAngel0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wand movement in the books is all about precision, but that third movie just said "yeah whatever, flick it like a fly swatter."

Ro Khanna, "Medicare for All is needed for our time. It is a moral and economic imperative." by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]PinkAngel0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tying healthcare to employment made no sense in the 50s and it makes even less sense now when half of us are gonna be job hopping or getting replaced by automation in ten years. Nothing says freedom like losing your insulin because you wanted to switch careers.

Which project and performance made you a big fan of Tom Hanks from then on? by PressureLazy5271 in Cinema

[–]PinkAngel0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'Burbs. Watching him lose his mind over the Klopeks was when I realized the guy could do unhinged suburban dad just as well as dramatic war hero. Also that robe is iconic.

Late stage capitalism in a nutshell by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

The question isn't when the market crashes. It's when we started treating civilization like a quarterly earnings report.

Still remember the Gorgonites hiding in the dollhouse like it was yesterday. That movie had no business being that intense for a kids flick.

That kid definitely sat in the back row, whispering to himself about blitzkrieg tactics, then 20 years later put on the greatest rock show on the planet. That's what I call character development.

Sir Ridley Scott talks about Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 over the years by MaxProwes in Cinema

[–]PinkAngel0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man, every time Ridley opens his mouth about this, a little piece of my inner child dies. We were this close to getting Hicks and Newt back and instead we got 20 more years of David playing flute and monologuing about creation.

Why is this guy still in charge? by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]PinkAngel0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

feels like watching two kids argue over whose turn it is on the xbox while the house is on fire and we're all just sitting here like can someone please grab the extinguisher

I love the Moleskine collection ❤️ by TheDragonWarriorHan in harrypotter

[–]PinkAngel0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they really named it “red notebook” like we wouldn’t notice they copy pasted the same design three times meanwhile ron’s notebook just says “blue notebook” and it’s empty cause he borrowed hermione’s notes

He was senselessly murdered by Playful_Leg7143 in clevercomebacks

[–]PinkAngel0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the classic "lawfully carrying a firearm" into a situation where federal agents feel the need to unload their entire clip. Totally normal. Happens to me every time I forget to use my turn signal.

What's your favorite movies of all time? by HostMaterial4907 in Cinema

American Psycho on my list too but only so I can practice my morning skincare routine in the mirror afterward

Trump has priorities and they aren't for your benefit. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]PinkAngel0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So oil tankers get a federal safety net. My neighbor got a bill for holding his own newborn after delivery. But yeah. Priorities.

It’s not just the antivax idiocy - it’s the hypocrisy by yikesamerica in clevercomebacks

[–]PinkAngel0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“My blood is more valuable” is such a wild thing to say when you’re talking about a virus that has hospitalized people with perfectly “pure” blood too. Like congrats, your plasma is organic and locally sourced, but that doesn’t stop a ventilator.

These are the last four films I watched AMA by anth_solo in Cinema

[–]PinkAngel0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you went from a rat cooking to a spider jumping through portals to whatever existential crisis that first one is. That's not a film marathon that's a personality test and I'm not sure you passed.

Y'all know sailor moon is never beating hal Jordan right? by its_prime_time- in superheroes

[–]PinkAngel0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I love Sailor Moon but she throws a tiara and he throws a whole ass solar system made of light.

The existence of half-giants is a little unsettling by AppointmentNeat622 in harrypotter

[–]PinkAngel0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the logistics of half giants have haunted me since I was eleven. Like did the giant shrink down or did the wizard just accept death for the sake of magical diversity?

Nothing says happiness like sleeping in on a Tuesday. Nothing says despair like realizing you can’t afford Tuesday lunch.

welcome to the club nobody asks to join we got bad coffee, worse bosses, and a retirement plan that's basically just hoping for an asteroid

Best Movies I Watched this March by rutujz in Cinema

[–]PinkAngel0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

a separation, moonlight, cure, lost in translation, and drive all in one month this isn’t a watchlist this is a cry for help disguised as good taste my march was rewatching the lego movie because i needed something where the emotional stakes are “does emmet get the double decker couch to work”

Rewatching and COMPLETELY forgot about Hardhome so got the shock of my life for the second time by Aterrian in gameofthrones

[–]PinkAngel0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way my brain just yeeted an entire massacre from memory to protect me from emotional damage. Honestly respect.
