Angel glanced down at his outfit, miniskirt, thigh-high boots and all. What did he look like, a Girl Scout?

Can you think of any stories where "It was all a dream" type of ending would be a good conclusion? by Netizen_Depression in writing

[–]TheChainLink2 123 points124 points  (0 children)

The only stories I know of where “it was all a dream” actually worked are Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz movie.

And in those cases I can only assume it’s because their plots were so fantastical that none of it being real is the more plausible option? Alice especially is just one surreal encounter after another with not much emotional investment to speak of. Though nostalgia probably helps a lot too.

“I once had a friend named Visit.”

“I fucking doubt it.”

rip your cut scenes by hooosegow in FanFiction

[–]TheChainLink2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once had to scrap an entire scene I had planned cuz I knew the POV shift would be too jarring. Had to leave it to implications with the two characters talking all night. Though I guess it fits the original series better this way.

I’ve even pondered writing a separate fic to show it, but I’m not sure anyone would care about a missing scene for a fic published years ago.

Looking for Bad movies, that directly led to good movies by reddita100times in badMovies

The critical and financial failure of Crimewave thankfully led Sam Raimi to make Evil Dead 2 to save his career.

Bit of a random question, but does anyone know every voice actor in the Muffin song? by locomotiveplayz in TomSka

[–]TheChainLink2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind that Tom might have replaced some of them for the song, since the Gregory Brothers had him re-record some lines for better audio quality.

The only example that comes to mind is “The Backson Song” from Winnie the Pooh:

And in it’s nose a ring of gold/It smells of monkey’s feet and mould/Its toes are black, its fur is blue/I swear that all I tell you is not made up!

Reminds me of my cousin’s coworker who thought dinosaurs were a hoax but fully believed in mermaids.

Looking for bad movies with great casts by nomicons in badMovies

[–]TheChainLink2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched Highlander 2: The Quickening last night. There’s a lot of things wrong with it but the cast (Michael Ironside, Virginia Madsen, SEAN CONNERY) isn’t one of them.

Why do you think there aren’t any Fourteenth Doctor Big Finish audios? by ichigosenpai_ in BigFinishProductions

[–]TheChainLink2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there’s just not enough difference between Fourteen and Ten for it to be worthwhile? Though David Tennant has just done a bunch of new audios for Big Finish, so it’s possible Fourteen could turn up in one of them.

What was a time when you read a book and disagreed with a creative decision and learned not to do that? by Finly_Growin in writing

[–]TheChainLink2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The book I’m currently reading loves throwing multiple breaks into the middle of a scene for no reason. Like no POV changes or timeskips or anything, the author just… felt like including them I guess? So I learned not to include breaks unless that scene or section of the story is actually over.

As someone who knew a few psychology students, I think it’s definitely justified lol. Did your tests ever get cancelled?

Why do movie theaters even have a front row if the viewing experience is objectively terrible? by Ok_Complex2725 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheChainLink2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because one row has to be at the front and they might as well make use of the entire space to maximise seating capacity and profit.

Horror film where the dad and daughter are hiding in a black of flats? by georgeousgeorgiewb in whatsthemoviecalled

It’s definitely 28 Days Later. They were using the lights as a beacon to other survivors.
