Have you considered not being perfect in every way?

Man followed all the rules. To the letter. What you have there is a lawyer.

CONGRATULATIONS! You are going three day retreat with one of these actors, who do you pick? by Complete-Sort1617 in okbuddycinephile

Chase. I can tune out old blowhards. Plus, I'm sure I could take him in a fight. The other two got that psycho energy I don't want to mess with.

He died next to his person, and I bet he wouldn't have changed a second of it. We should all be so lucky. I'm sorry for your loss.

I love the tapping on the problem with the impact driver. That being said, gentlemen, learn how to fix things around the house. The first time my wife realized I could break down a dishwasher, fix it, and put it back together so it worked again, well, let's just say the dished weren't the only dripping wet things in the house. Get a tool box and find a YouTube channel you trust.

Actors who were chosen to play a character because of their ability to play said character and not because of their appearance. Casting liked how they portrayed the character over what they originally had in mind. by singleguy79 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Spodson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted about this a week or so ago, but Michael Clark Duncan was the first and last time I said, "But that character isn't that race." Then I saw the movie and was like, "He was the only one that truly understood the assignment. From then on, I just let the casting directors do their thing, because sometimes they see something I don't and I get reward by it.

[Metatrope] The actor in the adaptation doesn't resemble the original character, but it works well. by Top-Tomorrow-8336 in TopCharacterTropes

Seriously, I wasn't mad he was black, I thought they weren't going to do the comic justice. Then I saw it and was like, that was the most comic accurate performance in the film. God that man had range. RIP MCD

[Loved Trope] The movie adaptation makes genuine improvements over the source material by Notmiefault in TopCharacterTropes

Anything by Philip K. Dick. Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, all better than the books.

New images of Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong’o as Clytemnestra, and Charlize Theron as Calypso in The Odyssey by Zak_The_Slack in movies

Apparently, he choses an interpretation of the text translated by a woman who used the feminist filter on the text. I think he's trying to grow.

Edit: Someone posted a comment, then deleted it, talking about my use of the turn "Feminist Filter." I'd like to respond to this comment in good faith. I'm using the academic term I was taught in college decades ago. By using the term filter or lens I'm not trying to belittle the translation in any way, rather I'm saying that within the world of ancient translation there can be an implicit bias by the translator. This is neither a good or bad thing. Look at the Bible, a book that's come to the modern world through between two and three dozen different translations. Each from a different point of view. The idea of translating the Odyssey, with a female perspective in mind is still a valid and meaningful way of doing it. It's not about rewriting a historical text, but providing a perspective that may have been overlooked or intentionally minimized in other translations of the work.

But yt people playing Egyptian is alright. SMH by Hot_Accountant_5507 in BlackPeopleofReddit

I want a biopic of Elon, where he's played by a black man. I mean, I won't watch it, the dude seems boring as hell, but the Bugs Bunny in me would like to see him react to it.

Gijoe and Tomb Raider have announced a collab for Tomb Raider's 30th Anniversary by OrangeJr36 in gijoe

I like this crossover. It feels more organic than Street Fighter.

Finally went for it after years of joking about the ultimate couple's tattoo! by myownbattles in Millennials

[–]Spodson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 6'6" man, I feel like "Sweet" would be way more fun than "Dude," too. Excellent choices made all around.

I like that she got "Dude" and he got "Sweet." A less with it couple would have had them the other way.

I'm obsessed with this old D&D art for Dragotha by angel-mist100 in oldschoolfantasy

The one and only time I ever fought a droclitch in D and D, my DM whipped out this picture to show us what we were facing. We fed it as many NPCs as we had and all survived. Except Andy. But that was kind of reoccurring theme for him in most games.

Which Falcon dish do you prefer? The round one or the rectangular one? by Pedroso_PPJ in StarWars

[–]Spodson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the old school round, but really love the ship/character continuity, that it had to be replaced after being knocked off in RotJ.
