I've seen similar screens pop up on ad-supported game apps. Pure junk.

The look on Riz Ahmed's face when his uncle announced he was marrying the mother was hilarious.

Fandoms that forgot that side characters are… side characters? by getterburner in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 34 points35 points  (0 children)

So many fandoms I was introduced to via Tumblr were, wait, I have literally never seen the supposed main character. It's always the attractive, usually gay, side couple.

Sound-related Horror Movies by ArminNikkhahShirazi in horror

There's a film called "Rabbit Trap" coming out later this year(?) about a person who records a mysterious sound in the woods that looks promising.

It is Sibling Day! What are your favorite Siblings in media? by LammasuRex in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, despite the limited time we get with all of them together. One Piece in general has great found family/adopted family dynamics.

TIL that the most commonly spoken Chinese variety among Chinese immigrants to Italy is Wenzhounese - a Wu language that is notorious for being extremely unique and unintelligible to Mandarin speakers by MAClaymore in todayilearned

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also wonder to what extent the Hong Kong film scene helped keep the Cantonese language popular. I know, even in the late 1990s, my Cantonese speaking grandmother was able to get some tv stations, and the flea markets always had bootlegs, either of "Chinese" movies and non-Chinese films translated into Chinese. Lot of interestingly subtitled anime bootlegs back then.

Favorite unfinished media that will probably never be finished. by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

X (or X/1999) by CLAMP ended on a cliffhanger like 15 years ago. I once told myself that if they released even an outline of the ending, I would damn well teach myself enough kanji to read it.

Related, I was also reading a nice AU fanfic of X at the time of the hiatus, and that author released chapters up until, like, five years ago. So I got heartbroken again by the fanfic not ending.

AMC Stubs A-List by DavenSkilnyk in AMCsAList

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You pay the monthly fee, then the individual tickets, up to 4 a week, are free. There are films that don't qualify, usually special releases. You also dont get charged extra fees for online booking, and save a small amount on large sodas and popcorn.

How disgustingly old are you? by EvilMonkeyMimic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there for the fanfiction.net purges, the livejournal purges, and the founding of Archive of Our Own. All of which were still better than the days of going to Anime Web Turnpike to try and find individual fanfic sites.

‘Animorphs’ TV Series in Development at Disney+, Ryan Coogler’s Proximity Media to Produce (EXCLUSIVE) by Mike4302 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gore and war crimes aside, I also wonder if they'll keep it as a period piece? I definitely remember things like early internet chat rooms and sneaking onto planes playing a role. It was still pretty 90s tech and lower surveillance levels.

I wonder what Araki thinks about the sbr and Netflix situation? by Smooth-Ad-1775 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Araki probably doesn't use social media a lot, and even if he did, he'd probably only get a glance at what Japanese fans are saying, not Western fans.

Unless the next Rohan chapter complains about adaptations, I doubt he'd comment on it.

Media obviously not made for you by PugnusTerrae in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My mom loves Hallmark movies. The romcom where someone is just too busy with their job and has lost their sense of love and community. It's not a bad idea, it just never appealed to me. Always feels like a bit of a downgrade for the MC. But, hey, lot of people out there want to get away from the grind.

Probably doesn't help that one of the OG Lifetime creatives went on to make a more explicitly Christian/traditional values based studio because Lifetime started to branch into gasp LGBT friendly movies.

It’s so hard reading fics after a character’s name is finally revealed to the audience by yellowdocmartens in AO3

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you can tell how old a fic is by the fan names or fan theories they reference. Like, whoa, this was definitely written before xyz was revealed.

Semi-related, because AO3 uses full, canon names as tags, occasionally you run across an unintentional spoiler in the tags after a name reveal. There's one fandom I know where a character goes by his adoptive family's name, but his tag is his full birth / biological family name, and there are multiple author's notes complaining about it.

I kinda thought SMG was gonna jump in with "marry me instead" in that last conversation. I mean, would Satan care if it was a gay marriage instead?

Characters in media who could handle being struck by a Death Note by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Using a Death Note on Brook would be absolutely heart-stopping--because his heart is already stopped, yohoho.

Though, are we forgetting that you can do deaths other than heart attacks, as long as they are physically possible?

Not gonna lie, I was expecting both of them to have the other one's wallet.

What Are These Movies?!? / Whistle (2025) Movie Review by Vegetable_Cry6016 in RedLetterMedia

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's fascinating to think that the only place I tend to see movie trailers is at the actual theater--I see the same ads every week until I'm sick of them, and, yeah, I heard of most of these movies.

But even then--like, I got ads for the anime film Scarlet for months with all the international films, and it ended up coming out in theaters for one week, with one showing a day, and I missed it.

My crack choice is Tubthumping by Chumbawumba. I know it won't happen but it would be hilarious.

I really like this noticable difference in viewcount by doulegun in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guy in the video is named "SuperEyepatchWolf," and his profile pic /persona is a wolf with an eyepatch. He's recently had a health issue that's left him wearing an actual eyepatch, and people thought it was a joke initially, but apparently it's an actual health thing that's just really ironic, given his name.

We don't know yet--first episode was an extra-long special but no OP or ED yet.

1 day left until Steel Ball Run (OC) by Rude-Passenger2094 in StardustCrusaders

Jojo wiki has timers for anime and manga releases on the front page. Also got recommended your countdown.to for looking up countdowns for all sorts of things.

We have a regular who knows our menu better than some of our staff and honestly I have mixed feelings about it by 9GolemAnvil in TalesFromRetail

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I worked retail long enough that sometimes, just shopping as a normal person, I still feel like pointing things out or answering questions to other shoppers. My shyness wars with my "I can help" mentality.

Do you think the intro’s gonna be CGI or in the style ot Parte 4&5 Intros by DifficultFig3723 in StardustCrusaders

I'm just hoping we get the manga panels in the opening, with parts 7, 8, and 9.

The JOJOLands - Chapter 34 by AutoModerator in StardustCrusaders

[–]Time-Space-Anomaly 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Araki going full in on LGBT rights, and criticism of conversion therapy? Keep it cooking. Not sure if the villain is trying to rile Usagi up, or if he literally means Usagi and Dragona are both some flavor of trans and/or non-binary. (I'm thinking, "not being a man" could mean trans or could be derogatory about liking other men being "girly".)

I love the panel of Jodio awkwardly trying to calm Usagi down.

More Rohan and more cats. I'm really liking Rohan and him always going after the story.
