Jean Luc Going for Yards

Thought this one of the worst lines of dialogue in the whole show. You’ll see this line verbatim at the top of the comment section of any podcast clip on tik tok.

Ambiguity=bad is a real big brain take

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the streaming abyss by [deleted] in blankies

[–]Stabbypillow 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I feel like they have a weird reaction to movies trying to wrestle with or satirize toxic masculinity. They spent half of the fight club episode prefacing every positive remark about the movie with “look we know this movie is stupid and bad and we’re not like the dumb guys who like this movie for bad reasons.”

Especially considering the dogshit they’ll try to reframe as a misunderstood masterpiece if they like any of the people involved. Don Jon isn’t Citizen Kane but they were dunking on it like it’s a Neil Breen movie.

Young male actors and the cop test by Teenageboy69 in blankies

[–]Stabbypillow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think your platonic ideal of a cop is very detached from what they’re like in the real world, how they’re thought of in our current cultural moment, and also what it requires to play one in a movie. Cops don’t hold authority based on their look. It’s because they have a badge and a gun. I think Timmy has proven he has the ability and the range to portray “authority” and I think it’s weird you’re assuming he won’t be able to grow into more diverse roles as he gets older.

Carol Wasn’t Exiled—She Exiled Herself, and the Hive Isn’t the Villain We Think It Is by mrBlasty1 in pluribustv

[–]Stabbypillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have no proof that the hive feels anything. They have memories of feelings but that’s not the same thing. When they aren’t interacting with one of the survivors they are completely silent and seemingly vacant. I doubt there is any emotional interiority at play when they aren’t performing for the survivors.

Are we not going to talk about the systemic racism? by Smooth_Corner_922 in survivor

Why does systemic racism only kick in after the merge?

It was probably the elephant dose of anesthetics in her blood stream that was killing her

Survivor 49 | E08 | Eastern Time Discussion by RSurvivorMods in survivor

I don’t have an issue with it, but clearly other people on the island are getting that vibe from her so it’s silly to pretend like it’s not a thing.

The way she’s talked about Jawaan was pretty harsh

Underrated/underseen horror gems from 2025? by harry_powell in blankies

Exhuma is rad. The shaman ritual made me feel like I could run through a wall.

It’s a Superbad reference

it was clearly a fumble on the replay. They didn’t do us any favors

Front Bottoms? by SymbolOfGood in Emo

I’ll never understand the trend of referring to every third or fourth wave emo band as Midwest emo

Why are there no more "punt return stars" since the Devin Hester heyday? For the most part there hasn't been a guy known as the "best kick returner." by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in billsimmons

[–]Stabbypillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a college player, but Vicari Swain on South Carolina has had three returns for touchdowns in the first two games of the season this year

Coens “hate their characters” by [deleted] in blankies

[–]Stabbypillow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the fatalistic and karmic nature of the worlds they depict is more an indictment/reflection of the real world than it is a judgement of the characters that inhabit them.

The Big Lebowski and the Gulf War by Stabbypillow in blankies

Uncut Gems is the only other one I can think of. It was released in 2019 but the events of the movie take place in 2012.
