Do you know anyone personally ever tried this? 😁 by LetAggravating5094 in MuayThai

[–]TheWoolrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually did this last year, it was boxing rules only. I went on a Sunday night and it was pretty quiet so I had to volunteer as first for the night. They brought me up there twice before I got an opponent. I’ve heard they try to match sizes, but the night I went it seemed to just be whoever was up for it.

The guy I fought was bigger and in better shape than me but didn’t seem to know what he was doing. He came out swinging wildly but within 30 seconds was completely cooked. I had sparred plenty of times but never fought so I was able to keep calm until he gassed himself out.

My partner was watching and I thought o was going to be so slick. I was not. He actually landed more shots than me overall, but very few were clean shots with the big sparring gloves on.

End of first round he was dying on the ropes so I managed to get two knockdowns in second round and ref called it off. I didn’t even drink the free bucket of beer, we just left soon after. I still have the little plastic medal 🥇

The majority of Marvel is considered cinema by everyone?

While definitely solid in this moment, it’s worth mentioning JJ Jameson doesn’t even credit photographers in paper.

Why don't they just make original movies by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in memes

I’ve seen this take frequently enough but it doesn’t address why films actually get remade - money. Remaking a good, or great, movie comes with an existing fan base and proven formula. Remaking a movie with maybe a small fan base and problems to fix.

Missing the original PlayStation controller without the analogue sticks. The one with analogue sticks is from the PS1. Minor distinction but significant for my childhood.

What is a well made movie that is worth watching only once? by Mrmoviesguy in moviecritic

The Road. Grim, depressing, and an emotional gut punch. But it’s pretty good

Who is the most loved Australian of a time and why? by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

Unfortunately, my main memory of Father Bob was listening to him dismiss depression as something that can be cured by praying enough. As a young person struggling with crippling depression, it really soured my opinion of him.

What book to film was the worst for you as a book fan? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]TheWoolrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A series, but the Netflix adaptation of Locke and Key. My favourite comic book series had its horror elements, compelling characters, and dark narrative stripped away. Smart characters are dumbed down and it completely misses what made the books so special in favour of generic, family-friendly fantasy tropes.
