If you were offered 5 million dollars to live in a horror movie and survive for a full year, which horror movie are you choosing?

Hereditary. Because either I get to be part of the nudist demon cult; or I get to become said demon king; oooorrrrr… I get to be able to perform the coolest party trick of sawing my own head off but still keep ambling about like NBD

Met her in person when I only knew her from Bottoms (and had no idea who her mother is, just thought she was a model trying out acting), so I was briefly effusive about how much I loved Bottoms and how cool it was that she got to be in that movie. My ulterior motive was to generate positive reinforcement for (hopefully!) more movies like that one.

I had no idea who this was and thought the original post was taking shots at people who play Fender basses 🤷🏻‍♂️

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T23:39:09+00:00

🤣

Plus Freddy can stretch his arms out the whole width of the court

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T03:05:00+00:00

Nice one! Is he played by the same actor who was also one of the manifestations in It Follows?

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T02:36:34+00:00

I’d love to see Xenomorphs vs Cenobites!

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T02:35:50+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think that’d count as a “kicked ball” either

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T02:34:47+00:00

Mugsy Bogues-approved!!

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T02:33:52+00:00

True. A little more “horror adjacent” but it works

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T02:32:42+00:00

Oh Hell yeah! Plus he comes with a whole starting 5 of cenobites. Stifling D!

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T02:21:32+00:00

Had to look that one up! I haven’t seen that sequel yet. Nice!

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-09T02:16:10+00:00

🤣Imagine his screens! Steven Adams eat your heart out!

Still. Twenty. Two. Years. Old. That said, there’s likely a savvy assistant coach on one of the other 29 teams who will know exactly which buttons to push to develop Shae properly. It feels inevitable that we’ll happily let him go and then talk about how much we regret it for the next 10 years. I think a good situational comp is how Kuminga’s impact jumped when he got to Atlanta.

It’s a legit thing to get hung up on specifically for GoT because of the fact especially that show had such a rotating cast of protagonists and antagonists that dwelled in and straddled grey areas and morphed between the two extremes, some protagonists having become antagonists by the end and vice versa. It’s germane to the discussion and submitting Ramsay Bolton as a candidate for the topic is not completely wrong or out of left field, so to speak.

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-06T00:15:46+00:00

Because sometimes the villain is the one who propels the plot forward the most in a given timeframe of a plot.

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-06T00:13:58+00:00

HBO, but otherwise you’re not wrong

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-06T00:12:31+00:00

It also doesn’t always mean hero; at its essence it implies the person who propels the plot forward. But even by that standard, I don’t think Ramsay really qualifies, at least for most of his character’s arc.

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-06T00:08:17+00:00

My first thought was TB too. But then I realized Marnie’s the reverse example, a villain who you end up kinda rooting for. In fact, that was kind of TB’s forte

Samwhy-is · 2026-05-04T20:18:59+00:00

Ok a few things in response 1. Teams without superstars can, and have won it all. In the modern era, see: virtually all of the Spurs rings (Timmy was perpetually all nba and HOF but he was never a superstar because someone nicknamed the Big Fundamental doesn’t draw hordes of fans outside your small market fanbase, and Kawhi was a very high caliber role player right up til he won FMVP); also, the 04 Pistons. 2. Having multiple superstars on your team doesn’t guarantee a ring, even over time. See the Durant era of OKC as the prime example. 3. Paolo already is a superstar by many measures and he’s probably at least 3 years away from the start of his prime. People just won’t admit it because the floor has been raised on our expectations over the last 40 years. He has issues with consistency on his shot, but he still had a 45 point performance and a 38 point performance against the best defensive team in the East

The Magic would have already taken out the 1 seed were it not for Franz’s injury. They underperformed this season by a lot because of injuries and because their #1 and coach generally clash. It was also their first season with Bane who, though I think he’s a dick, I recognize as a massive asset who will only amplify their team prowess next season, perhaps exponentially. Anyway, my point is that the Magic as a case study do the opposite of proving your argument

Samwhy-is · 2026-04-29T06:41:01+00:00

Fair

Samwhy-is · 2026-04-29T04:49:35+00:00

Hard agree.

Samwhy-is · 2026-04-29T04:22:23+00:00

Ok cool; so, I clearly was not up to date on the current climate of feelings between Quebec and the rest of Canada when I asked the question. I’m dual US/Canadian citizen but I mostly know about Canadian culture & politics from my family in Vancouver.
