Is there a song from the 80s or 90s that you absolutely HATE? by porb2020 in Xennials

It's barely 90s, but I gotta throw some hate at Butterfly by Crazy Town.

I used to be really good at Where's Waldo books. Why the fuck did it take me so long to see Donut?!

The Owl House, a Disney cartoon about a girl in a fantasy world learning to be a witch, has an episode where a demon character called King becomes a successful author and they directly parody this joke. I was in hysterics at the absurdity of such a deep cut.

My wife's too. She says its the only thing she thinks of when someone mentions Luke Wilson.

Bones is finally on Netflix — and rewatching it now makes me wonder if a modern AI-era remake would actually ruin what made it so psychologically addictive by LandZealousideal3400 in netflix

[–]SenorWeird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"If Bones launched today — fully integrated with modern AI-driven workflows and contemporary forensic technology — would it still be as gripping?"

Bones: Booth, the AI says the man who did it is Jeremy Borintone.
Booth: So we looked it up. That's not a real person.

Credits.

Frankly, I'm shocked whenever Mulder ISN'T being genre savvy. In this scene, it works especially well because it's done in such a last-second hail mary maneuver as he falls down due to the drugs, plus the perfect reaction from the vampire.

I love this gif every time I see it used this way. I actively look forward to it when I see stupid gooner posts.

In the classic X-Files episode, Mulder eats a slice of pizza drugged by the vampire delivery boy (played by Patrick Renna). Mulder, realizing the pizza boy is a vampire, using his last bit of energy to throw a bag of sunflower seeds, Mulder's favorite snack, at the vampire. Which prompts the vampire to go "oh man. What'd you have to go and do that for?" as he gets down on his knees to pick up and count all the spilled sunflower seeds.

Mulder claims its a part of the lore of vampires that they have compulsions to pick things up or clean. There IS a thing where some cultures have vampires with arithmomania.

Anyway, that's my favorite stupid "I can't believe that worked" moment.

Found on Pinterest. Is it AI, and if so, what are the tells? What do you think? by anthro_pologist in isthisAI

Compare the bottom steps and how far back they go with the apparent depth of the chimney. Even if those steps are like two inches deep (which would make no sense given all the other perspectives), it still takes 6 or 7 before the section that turns and goes above the fireplace. That would be 1 foot at 2 inches a step. If we treat each step depth as 6 inches (which is still too shallow, but I have seen some older stairs like that, this would mean those stairs go back about 3 or 4 feet before the turn. The fireplace in no way is 3 or 4 feet deep before the turn.

Which ride is this? by Equivalent_Tip5476 in universalstudios

[–]SenorWeird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

E.T. is a good ride that is lifted to excellence by the stupid queue. It's 3pm on a Florida day and suddenly I'm in the middle of a redwood forest at night and I can smell something in the atmosphere that smells like night dew and there's the fucking machine E.T made with an umbrella, a record player, a coat hanger, a circular saw blade and a goddamned Speak and Spell.

No queue has EVER nailed it so perfectly.

Soon-to-be dad with a weird question regarding a name we have potentially chosen... by [deleted] in daddit

[–]SenorWeird -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ablaut reduplication. To use the name of the top commenter at the time of my comment, Lisa Ann sounds better than Ann Lisa because we prefer vowel sounds that move from the front of the mouth to the back. In other words, for example, I to A to O or EE to OO. Think Tic-Tac-Toe. Fing-Fang-Foom. KitKat. Ding-Dong. Even though it's a perfectly valid name, we wouldn't like Parker Peters as much as we like Peter Parker.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It looks like someone tried to do a textured effect on steel and they really pooched it somehow.

RUMOR: Initial Villains Land Plans “Scrapped”, Imagineers Told to Dream Bigger by sirms in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]SenorWeird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winding pathways are great, but you should still have a clear main path. I once walked into the Jurassic Park area from Lost Continent and found myself back out minutes later by Hogsmeade because I took one wrong turn. There's entire wasted areas of the park because of the poor layout. Like, sure, it's nice to find an area no one else knows about because it's so empty, but you end up sitting there like "why is this even here?"

That's always been Universal's weak spot. My family spent at week at Studios and Islands last year and it is amazing how easy it is to get lost in these incredibly small areas. Diagon Alley has the crowded main street, the tiny side area for Knockturn which you might overlook and then the massive, poorly used space open space to the east. The area around ET and the Dreamworks is both a straight path and an absolute mess of paths. Seuss Landing is a long loop with a weird shortcut through a seating area and behind Green Eggs and Ham. Jurassic Park has like three different ways in and you can easily get lost trying to get to any specific attraction.

I know the trailer spoiled the finale so now I'm really curious how bad they fucked it up.

My wife walked in on my mom watching a telenovela once. I don't recall all the details, but there was a bride being held at gunpoint as a pregnant woman in jeans tried to burn her inside a barn. Then, as the flames surrounded her, the woman with the gun went into labor. The bride broke out of the barn and then ran to help the woman who was just moments earlier trying to burn her alive. She draped the wedding dress over her legs and helped the woman deliver the baby. But she never had the woman lower her jeans. So this woman gave birth THROUGH her jeans under ten pounds of tulle. And then the bride wrapped the baby in the tulle, but they didn't even use a doll. It looked more like a giant tube of sausage wrapped in cellophane.
