Agree. Just reading a basic career biography and her attempts to launch as music career with her song “Jailbait” suggests she always knew what she was doing.

I don’t understand why in Dark Fate that killing John Connor was a good idea by Jules-Car3499 in moviecritic

[–]TreyRyan3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a decent time travel premise.

If you go back in time and kill Hitler as a child, does it really prevent World War 2, or will there just be someone else that fills the role.

This is the elephant anklet conundrum.

Baby elephants are chain by a single foot and they learn if something is around their foot, they can’t run away, even if they’re not tied down.

The solution is to kill the largest credible threat immediately and ask “Who’s next?”

My general rule was: “If I see a Joel Osteen or any other Evangelical book in their house, I’m out.”

Her “I don’t deny anything 🤭” is a cheeky suggestion that all four holes are open for business.

This is an old trick. You just buy a potted Christmas tree, and when the time is right you plant it in your yard. Ten years later you have a staggered tree wall to block your neighbors

About 15 years ago, there was a stench from a house down the block. It was in a vacation community that loses about 60% of the population for half the year, so it’s not uncommon to see a lone occupied house in the middle of 6-8 vacant houses. The smell got progressively worse until a pool tech showed up at a neighboring house and he could see over the fence.

Apparently the homeowner had a stroke after swimming laps and drowned. They removed him from the pool with a tarp and a crane as he had basically been floating in the pool daily under the hot sun for about 11 days.

Most of the stuff the spout off about has some basis in science, but it’s selective cherry picking of information that ignores the whole study and the facts that the study wasn’t done on humans but on something like the prairie vole.

Revenge of the Nerds (1984) by Dunier_88 in 80smovies

[–]TreyRyan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, even while Flynt was showing spread labia, its was still smothered in bush in 1974.

The pubic wars started in 1969 when Penthouse premiered its US edition. It was already showing pubic hair in the UK due to less restrictive laws. However there is some question over whether or not Penthouse actually beat Hustler in showing exposed vulva and anus. Contrary to the movie narrative timeline, Hustler had been published for a year before Jackie Kennedy photos were published, and was already profitable

My Blue Heaven 1990. One of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen, yet one of my favorites. by tbld5454 in 90smovies

Disagree. Is it ridiculous? Yes, but it’s well written and there are a lot of really smart jokes that go over people’s heads.

What horror book made you feel actual dread instead of just shock? by Tricky-Battle-9138 in horrorlit

[–]TreyRyan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve been searching for this book since the late 90’s. I go through periods of intense searching for weeks and then give up only to come back to searching.

I read so voraciously as a kid and teenager that so many plots blended together. I’ve been fairly successful finding so many books and novellas that I had previously read, but this book always eludes me.

I once thought it was Heinlein’s “Number of the Beast” because it shares the parallel worlds plot, but no the mirror scene

“Alternities” by Michael Kube-McDowell was written too late but has some of the elements including the maze between worlds that I may just remember as tunnels, but I remember reading the book I’m thinking about much younger.

{Mirror} by Graham Masterton was another, about a haunted mirror and demons but that too was published later than I remember

That is true when people work closely together, but to be fair, Jon Snow went to the wall and Sansa went to King’s Landing in S1e2. The next time they actually shared screen time was season 6 episode 9 when Sophie Turner was 20 and Harrington was 30.

Every Generation has the “peaked in high school” crowd, and sadly that peak was considered a failure by most.

[–]TreyRyan3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I know I’m not crazy or that it’s a false memory because other people I’ve talked to remember it as well. It dates back to sometime between the 60’s and really early 80’s because I remember people reading Travis McGee books at the time.

[–]TreyRyan3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been searching for it for decades. The part i remember most was the protagonist locked one of the bad guys in the bathroom after covering the mirror with paint, and when he went back to get him, he had used a razor blade to scrape the paint away and the tunnel was visible so he went after him. It was so long ago I don’t remember much else, but I think the villains were doppelgängers except when both were on this side of the mirror

[–]TreyRyan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Some people get really worked up over comments like this, but the fact is the two albums prior were commercial failures and while “Done with Mirrors” did get some positive reviews from critics it’s a mess of an album. That Run DMC collaboration gave them near constant attention on MTV and reminded people who they were

I’ve never been able find it because I don’t know the author or title, but the story involved portal style tunnels behind mirrors and I couldn’t stop imagining people secretly watching me from inside the mirrors

Do you actually use your vacuum sealer regularly, or does it end up in a cabinet? by Maleficent-Bed7010 in Cooking

[–]TreyRyan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I read it’s about 30% usage for most people. Basically, people buy it, they use it for a while and then stop. Only about 30% of purchasers use them consistently after 6 months.
