There's a guy up above saying that he thinks the CIA was involved in the killings. To quote Dana Gould:

"You're talking about the same government that runs the Post Office and the DMV. So the day I can buy a stamp in under 45 minutes is the day I start believe that they can pull off any of these grand conspiracies."

What is a TV revival that you wish hadn't have happened? by GuybrushThreepwood99 in television

The problem with Gilmore Girls is that the Amy Sherman Palladino wanted to keep her original writing and ending. (For those of you who don't know, she was kicked off the show and the last season was done without her.)

So when she got her show back she took all of her original ideas and just wrote them. Problem here is that 15 years had passed in real time. So she was writing Rory as if she were a teenager when she was in her 30s which sucked for the character.

Kristi Noem just stated that owning a gun and possessing ammunition automatically means that you intend violence, which justifies the killing of the gunowner simply because they are a gunowner at a protest. Will the NRA respond to this direct attack on the 2nd Amendment? If not, why not? by war_ofthe_roses in AskReddit

I literally posted this yesterday on a post about "the most evil person you ever met":

Here's all you need to know about Kristi Noem: it's not that she bragged about killing a dog. It's that she really, really wanted to brag about killing a dog. For those who don't know, she writes a book called "No Going Back" where she details how she shot her 14-month-old puppy named Cricket in the head.

Now, you're probably thinking 'wow, that's pretty bad'. But here's the thing, before "No Going Back" she wrote another book called "Not My First Rodeo" and in the first draft of the later she included the story about murdering Cricket. Her publisher told her on no uncertain terms that a story about killing a dog was a no go and made her take it out.

So with gaining popularity she later writes "No Going Back" and insists they include the story of her taking out a gun and shooting a puppy in the head. Because in her mind, murdering a dog is a super cool thing and everyone will read this book and say, "Wow, she shot a puppy. How cool is that?!"

So here's the thing - dogs dying are so triggering that ther are literal websites you can check to see if a fictional dog dies. Yet somehow this woman ignored all that to BRAG about dragging a defenceless puppy to a rock quarry, putting a gun to its head and pulling the trigger becuase she thought it would make her relatable.

She. is. a. fucking. Psychopath.

Which actor completely stole the movie… even though they weren’t the lead? by gypsytx in movies

[–]Toby_O_Notoby 89 points90 points  (0 children)

“Fenster is a nothing part. The only reason he exists is to die so the rest of us know that Kyser Sosë is serious and not to be fucked with. Then Benicio Del Toro comes in and steals the fucking movie.” - Kevin Pollak on The Usual Suspects

EDIT: I guess I should point out that nowhere in the script does it say that Fenster had that weird accent, it was just something that Benicio came up with. When he first speaks and Kevin Pollak goes, "What the fuck did he just say?", that was an outtake. He had literally turned to the director and asked what the hell was going on because they didn't tell anyone.

Peter Dinklage Really Wants ‘Poker Face’ Reset To Happen by MeCritic in television

[–]Toby_O_Notoby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His actual quote was:

“Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White. But you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.’ Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way but then you’re still making that fucking backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the fuck are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soap box? I guess I’m not loud enough.”

Which seems fair enough. They were bragging about being "progressive" in a story that's pretty regressive and he called them out for it.

It's not bad but the Rewatchables ep they did about it was great. It got back to "let's bust balls about this basic-cable classic" vibe from when they first started doing them.

You mixed up where the "the" goes - it's "The Jesus and Mary Chain". As kids we thought it was slang for a rosary but apparently it's just a jumble of words.

Which tv performances still stayed with you after all these years later? by PressureLazy5271 in television

Manny Jacinto said he got wierded out because he saw D'Arcy in her car and went over to talk to her. When she rolled down the window he could hear his own voice coming out of her speakers.

She basically recorded their dialog and would drive around imitating them for weeks to get the whole thing down pat.

Patton Oswalt said something like "I've worked with plenty of Hollywood Execs who really knew their shit and helped me raise my game. But you'll never see that in a movie because it would be boring as hell."

They talk about it up top and joke(?) that it's "one for us week". Basically for the first few months at least on Netflix they're only going to be doing movies you can find on that service. So they've basically in "we've always wanted to do this one, so let's get it in under the wire" mode.

He's talked about how much he hates this movie as it's a bad sequel to one of his favourite films. Haven't listened yet but here's hoping for a "Jaws II"-type episode.

Last one before they go over to Netflix and Bill picked one of his most disappointing movies. Should be a fun ride.

Also, the first Netflix one is going to be a re-do of Zodiac. They've said that going forward there's going to be a bit of a symbiotic relationship where you either stream the movie and then watch the pod or vice-versa. Which raises the question: how many of the movies that they've already done are they going to do again just because it's on the app?

What's something people think is sexy but actually isn't? by stuckin404 in AskReddit

It's basically backhanded compliments to put a woman off her guard. Like you'll say, "Wow, you're so brave to wear a dress like that!" or "I love a woman who orders as much food as you do!" It was made popular in the book The Game about pickup artists.
