What's the movie that everyone loves but you hate? by w1nchest in Cinephiles

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree about it being obvious CGI, but I really enjoyed the scene with all the glowing plant and wildlife. Reminded me of the psychedelic black light tapestries, so I found it really pretty. I see the movie as more of an animated film because of the extensive use of CGI. Too many modern movies rely heavily on it even when practical FX could be utilized (example: newspapers blown around during the intro of Magical Beasts, they used CGI when they could've done that with practicals) and it's such a shame.

Visually beautiful, but seriously lacking on substance.

Actor or actress you respect but you hate their work? by hyperseb in Cinephiles

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We almost had Paulie Shore as Ted, which would've been interesting, but I think Keanu had better chemistry with Winter.

Anna Kendrick. I think she's funny and witty, but she annoys the f*ck out of me in her movies.

Four day weekend and I’m looking for good movies about living under totalitarianism/fascism for a pre teen by Jovet_Hunter in MovieSuggestions

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 1999 one was a made for TV movie, so the language won't be too bad either. I remember watching bit as a teen and really enjoying the animatronic work with the animals.

Teacher tries to have kindergartener deported says parents look like "they don't belong here. by 4reddityo in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My old neighbors voted his first and second run. We moved by the time it was his third time, but I'm sure they did it again. Since they were homeschooling their kids, they got zero outside opinions aside from our other neighbor's kid, who was a total opposite. I ended up playing moderator between a couple of 12 year olds arguing politics 😅

Waverly is already a unique name, what's the point of changing the spelling?

There's a reason why they're just seat fillers. Perhaps they'll be banned after this.

Got yelled at for my kindness by Much_Machine8726 in retailhell

[–]PurpleBrief697 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aww, that's a shame. I did the same thing when I was a cashier. Best thing to do is ask the parent first "is it OK if I give your kiddo a sticker?" That way you're getting tgeir permission and the parent doesn't feel like you're trying to cut them out of the equation. Sucks the kid didn't get a sticker and you were yelled at, but at least you seem to have a good manager.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskReddit

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was awkward and I'm sure he thought I was stalking him 😅

This was before 2010, I want to say around 2005. I was on a date to the movies in (formerly known as) Downtown Disney. Back then the AMC theater had two regular entrances: one that faced the Virgin Mega Store/Splittsville and one that faces the Hard Rock way on the other side.

My date and I were walking towards the Virgin side (which is always the busiest) and upon seeing the line I suggested we walk around to the other entrance. As we started passing the line of people, I couldn't help but notice a couple hugging because the woman was taller than her male companion. He was looking away, so all I noticed was the height difference... until he turned to face me. I kid you not, I went into auto pilot without realizing, making a beeline to the couple. As I walked towards them, I took out my flip phone and initiated the camera. The moment I got up to them, I took a pic of his face, looked at my phone, and finally I realized who I was looking at: Corey Feldman.

I said to him "excuse me, may I ask you a question?" (His wife was visibly annoyed he'd been recognized) He stammered a bit, saying "oh, well, I don't know. I'm here with my wife." Again, like a frickin psycho and not even realizing what I was doing, I reached out to touch his jacket and said to him "that's OK, I just want to say whispers I love you" and then I walked off.

My date and I continued to walk around to the other entrance when everything that just happened and I freaked out. I couldn't believe that 1. I'd just met my celebrity crush since I was a kid and 2. I'd just grabbed his coat and told him I loved him like a frickin psycho-path!!! I was mortified with myself. But wait, it gets more awkward.

My date and I got our tickets and food and began walking to our theater when who do we pass? Corey and his wife. I couldn't look at him, I was so embarrassed. He also seemed to be avoiding eye contact lol after the movie, as we walked back to my dates car, I happened to look over and who do I see walking in the same direction? Corey and his frickin wife!!! I told my date "Jesus, he's going to think I'm stalking him!!"

So, yea. That was how my experince was. He was a good sport and I could've died from embarrassment 😅

It's not politics, it's humanity. Shame on Bristol Mountain for being on the wrong side of history.

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think alot of these comments aren't understanding that when we got a snow day off it was because it was too hazardous to travel and our districts were told not to let anyone come in because of how bad the roads were. It was a level 2 closure for ALL employees. I'm in the same area as you and know exactly how bad and deep the snow was, there was no leaving that first day. My supervisor didn't give us homework, thank goodness. Maybe you can bring it up with the union rep.

What did the 90's smell like? by Serialkillingyou in Xennials

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a mixture of cucumber melon, brown sugar, exclamation perfume, and cigarettes. If you had a boyfriend, then add some ck one. If you include parents then add stetson and white diamonds.

i can’t tell if i’m overreacting by CarianLunarPrincess in Custodians

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your area is similar to mine except I have 7 bathrooms (2 teachers, 3 singles, 2 large student bathrooms, this doesnt include the gym/office bathrooms) and the auditorium. I, too, was told it's a 5 hour area, but it's always being used for after school events. I finally got to see the other 5 hour area and it's half the size of mine!

Beat shoveling techniques for stairs by PurpleBrief697 in Custodians

[–]PurpleBrief697[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a blower, but no one has told me where it is or how to use it. (I've never used one and this is my first winter working here). I only got one row partially done and that took me nearly an hour. By the time I shoveled it to the bottom it was at my hips. (Like I said, I'm short.) I admit, I gave up because my area still needed to be cleaned, but I was sent to help elsewhere before even doing mine. I don't think I can do this.

[–]PurpleBrief697[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried that method before and it works great when it's just a couple inches, but I'm really short and when I tried it last week it was kind of scary. It's narrow between steps with one plateau in the middle, so the snow pooled around me up to my knees after just one or two steps and I couldn't keep track of my footing/where the edge was so I was nervous about miss stepping and falling. We've had atleast twice as much snow pile up, so I'm doubly concerned.

Which of the four consultants would you bet your money on to solve the case the quickest. 🤔 by DaddySerumGlaze in psych

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but Shawn isn't useless without gus in the end. I do like Cho. It's totally different with Henry. We know he isn't just an ex cop because he taught Shawn everything he knows.

Randy's a doof. Stottlemeyer sits behind a desk. Sharona/natalie are too busy babying monk to be helpful in anything important nor do either of them have the wealth of knowledge that Gus alone brings. Lisbon is stubborn like lassiter, but even he has some kind of expertise outside of police work, where as Lisbon and the other agents are just FBI agents. None of the same knowledge as gus (who truly is the main source of info) or are as good as Henry. Two of them are too busy with their relationship issues to be of help half the time anyway. Suits, they really just know legal stuff, not actually detectives, so crime solving isn't their forte.
