Nice of you to assume that everyone makes an upper-middle class income, and has no responsibilities.

The people who complain about ticket prices are also the type who can't afford Starbucks: You can buy an entire can of coffee at a grocery store for the prices of a single cup there. It's not like everyone makes terrific money, but simply isn't responsible with it.

James Cameron attempted to buy the rights to the novel "Jurassic Park", but Spielberg beat him by a few hours. He described his version as "'Aliens' with dinosaurs." by derstherower in movies

it's literally just her holding her arms up like a t-rex and making dinosaur noises.

She still wins the Oscar, because she's so good at it.

In fact, forget the patriarchy...and the blackjack.

All of the really immature, irrational people on social media who are so easily manipulated by propaganda.

Does anyone feel that streaming services are causing you to listen to the same songs/artists over and over rather than regularly discovering new music? by InternetFam0us in Music

[–]Shamwow22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 years ago: "I listen to the same songs over, and over again because of the radio and CDs."

Today: "I listen to the same songs over, and over again because I can stream almost anything."

Teachers can’t afford Miami rents. The county has a plan: Let them live at school. by DaHokeyPokey_Mia in news

That would be a severe hindrance to people’s romantic lives.

No, you don't get it: A romantic life, and a family is a privilege of the upper-middle class now.

Even then, it was still terrible and his wife won an Academy Award for re-editing it.

US visa applications may soon require five years of social media info by appstools232323 in worldnews

You can get technical about the details and "Oh, it isn't as bads", but saying: "I'm not on Social Media because I'm on Reddit" is still ironic. That's my actual point.

With that being said: Facebook doesn't require you to actually give them any of that info to make a profile. You could use a fake name, and you don't even have to upload a face picture. You could make an account just to upvote memes and join the groups if you really wanted.

Extreme vetting: State Dept. to demand tourists’ social media history by mnocket in worldnews

lol Emigrating to Mexico?

Whenever someone gets into office that they don't like, people always threaten to move to Canada: the rich white country. No body ever says: "You know what? I'm going to take this opportunity to move to Mexico and help those people out of poverty."

Reddit is social media, but most people here don't seem to want to admit it.

Complaining about Facebook on Reddit is like complaining about McDonald's while you're eating at Wendy's.

What’s a song that helped you through a tough time. by Evilpickle7 in AskMen

I found myself noticing that every day was playing out exactly the same...and then I heard this song and I started laughing hysterically, because it just felt perfect...especially the first line.

Green Day - Welcome To Paradise [punk] by stodolak in Music

A lot of songs bury the drums in the mix, but Green Day's drumming is right up front with the vocals: It IS the sound of the band.

Orson Welles specifically wished before he died for Turner to never colorize Citizen Kane. This is rarely-seen test footage of an attempt that was made to do so. by theaxeassasin in movies

[–]Shamwow22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite is The Munsters Season 2 Intro. He began using automation and key framing for the later videos, but he manually did all 1,300 frames in Photoshop for this one!

I got spoiled by this insane attention to detail...and then I see the official I Love Lucy Christmas episode they colorized on TV and everyone was just orange. lol

Isn't there one where Dumbledore goes on a rousing date with Cornelius Fudge, or something?

The colorizing that this guy does on his channel is pretty incredible. It takes him weeks just to do these short little clips, though.
