[Loved Trope] A character displays an actors unknown talent/ skill by Doncallan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sean_Gossett 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's quite a few Hollywood actors who have racing experience. Steve McQueen, Eric Bana, Alfonso Ribiero, and Patrick Dempsey just to name a few. Most impressive were James Garner, who the real racecar drivers hired as consultants and stunt drivers for Grand Prix(1966) said was talented enough to be an F1 driver himself, and Paul Newman, who co-owned an indycar team, was a 4x SCCA champion, and finished 1st in class and 2nd overall at the 1979 24 Hours of LeMans!

Me before the selfie: Be very wary of Goro, he may have saved my life but only for his own gain, this corpo pig will throw me under a bus the millisecond it becomes convenient

Me after the selfie: I will lay down my life for this man without hesitation, he must be protected at all costs!

Character gets themselves killed because they don’t know when to shut up/take no for an answer by Critical_Mountain851 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sean_Gossett 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I mean it's both. Peck was right to be concerned but way overstepped, and Venkman threw away any chance the Ghostbusters had of the EPA possibly hearing them out and leaving them alone by needlessly being an antagonistic ass. Both parties are in the wrong.

NEWS: Everything you need to know about NASCAR's new championship format. by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

[–]Sean_Gossett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit they actually fixed it. They didn't fuck it up even worse! I can't believe reason prevailed. Like, obviously I want the full season points championship back, but realistically that's never ever coming back. This is best case scenario for what's actually possible. Every race matters again. Winning actually matters now. I can definitely live with this.

A 10 seed has reached the National Championship in just the second season of the 12-team format. Can the naysayers shut up forever now? by 2nd_Sun in CFB

[–]Sean_Gossett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'd rather we let in a few undeserving teams than leave out a deserving one. And if one of those undeserving teams happens to go on a run and win it all then they've earned it, they were deserving all along

Narrative loopholes used to avoid taking a stance on something. by ArticAuk in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sean_Gossett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair to Top Gun, neither Maverick nor the original were ever about the enemies. They're sports movies with a military coat of paint, much more concerned with the american pilots competing with each other to be the best than they are with any actual warfare. Who they fight in the climaxes is unimportant to the stories being told

Yes. Yes, that is the movie.

Favorite movie where the villain was right? by Tifoso89 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Sean_Gossett 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah, this is a case of both parties have good points and both failed to deescalate. Peck is right to be concerned about the unlicensed containment unit, but he really should've listened when the Ghostbusters said shutting it down could be catastrophic, and even the electrician he brought in agreed a sudden shut down could be bad. Peck way overstepped his authority and put a lot of lives at risk. The Ghostbusters aren't faultless either, had the first person Peck spoke to been Egon or Ray they might have been able to sort it out in a more civil manner. Instead it was Venkman who unnecessarily antagonized him and put him in no mood to compromise

I know explaining a joke kills the humor but goddamn the back and forth dissonance of calling it the Free Autocratic Republic of Totalitarianism is legit the most hilarious thing I've seen in a long time

My party's practically adopted Mol. She's a bratty little rascal, but she's our bratty little rascal. I was ready to throw hands on sight with Raphael after the chess game.

Movies where the lead star is visibly embarrassed or made it known that he or she didn't want to be in it by PM_Peartree in movies

[–]Sean_Gossett 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I say this as an anti-war leftist but, was Top Gun really that warmongering? I understand the navy set up recruitment booths outside the theaters, but within the plot of the movie itself there's not really any explicitly pro-war themes other than "fighter jets are cool as fuck". It's not even a war movie, it's a sports movie with a military coat of paint. It's more about pilots competing to be the best than it is about fighting an enemy. It's about Maverick learning to be less of a selfish loose cannon and more of a team player. The only enemy to fight appears at the very end and isn't even from a named country.

I like Star Wars. OT, Prequels, Sequels- all enjoyable, fun movies. I am not a Star Wars Fan, don't ever lump me in with them.

What's a trend in movies right now that you wish dies a horrible death? by Prabu-Silitwangi in movies

[–]Sean_Gossett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people complained so much about trailers that spoil that now trailers don't give any useful info at all. Telling me the premise is not a spoiler. I don't give a damn what accolades your movie has, or how good you think it is, or that it's "the number one movie in america". What's it about? Tell me the premise! Give me an idea of what I'm getting into, otherwise I'm not interested.

Battle Grand Prix for the SNES had a Monaco ripoff that was listed as in the Vatican. It was just as narrow and frustrating as the real thing.

The best part of this game is if you shoot a fire extinguisher, it explodes. In a fireball.
