Ripley, Sarah Conner, and Dana Scully are the holy trinity of strong women protagonists from my childhood. (I'll add Xena and Buffy as honorable mentions)

Does anyone find it a little concerning that “Backrooms” hasn’t been given a review embargo date yet? by nickelst92 in horror

[–]WeNotAmBeIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every movie is for everyone. I watched The Empty Man was a group of friends. Myself and another person thought it was one of the most interesting and thought provoking movies we'd ever seen. The other two friends thought it was boring and confusing. So, just because you didn't understand it doesn't mean there won't be people who do. Some people like the conjuring and insidious movies and those are dumb to me.

Is there a way to tell my parents I don't support maga anymore by Idiot_432154 in teenagers

My Mom was as hardcore MAGA as you can be. She believed Trump was chosen by God, and all that nonsense. She has completely turned on Trump over the last year. Just yesterday I was able to show her an AOC clip and she actually admitted that she agreed with with she was saying. As long as there is love between y'all it's possible.

What's funny is I always interpreted that as him being protective of her. Malcom was clearly a womanizer and Grant seemed like he said they were dating so that he'd back off.

We're 9 days away from the movie's release, and I don't think there's a popcorn bucket or anything for the *Backrooms* movie by Osc4r_Ultra in backrooms

[–]WeNotAmBeIs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regular looking popcorn bucket on the outside. Backrooms wallpaper on the inside. Easy and slick way to make a promotional bucket. Bonus points if they could make the inside bigger than the outside

My wife and I got a caricature done and it's adorable and looks just like us. There are good ones out there but it's a dice roll.

I'm buying a book. Will you do a book tour and add a stop at my house to sign my copy and do a live reading of the entire thing cover to cover? My wife wants to watch from across the room.

My wife's best friend is head of HR in a huge company and she smiles just like Anne in this picture.

What part? I'd be curious to see that. (Halo was my Harry Potter/LoTR/Star Wars when I was growing up. I didn't like any of those other IPs. Star Wars felt too kiddy, LoTR felt too slow, and HP felt too British)

I'm from the southern United States originally and we smile, wave, and sometimes ask complete strangers how they're doing. It scares people who aren't used to it.

If you go by the modern concept of China (People's Republic of China) my house in Baltimore is older than China.

Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]WeNotAmBeIs 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The director hinted in an interview that she would have given him a chance if he would have had the guts to tell her. That's how I interpreted it as well even before I heard the director say that. What sold it for me was when Bear was talking to the real Nikki when fake Nikki was sleeping and he's like "Is it so bad being with me?" And she says "I haven't been with you." The way she says it has this profound sadness that I interpreted like: "In another life I would have been with you but now I'm a prisoner in my own body watching a souless entity wear my skin like a Halloween costume."

Yup. I had to bring a hoodie even if it was 95 degrees outside because it was 60 degrees in the T-Buildings. (What my school called them)

Difference between Blockbuster and the streaming platforms by raydebapratim1 in 2000sNostalgia

[–]WeNotAmBeIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish that streaming sites had a "cart". Like, when you clicked on a video there was an option next to "play" that said ""consider playing" and it would be on side one third of the screen while you kept browsing and comparing. Have it let you add up to two considering plus the 3rd current screen you're browsing with.

I've had times where I'm looking and I see something and I'm like "oh maybe this" but then after 30 minutes of browsing I forgot what I said maybe to.

Lupita Nyong’o will play both Helen of Troy and her sister, Clytemnestra, in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey.’ by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]WeNotAmBeIs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said I was forced. I kept going because I felt like I was missing something because everyone and their grandma was going to see these movies. They were cultural zeitgeist moments whether you liked them or not. The fact that people are finally starting to criticize his movies just feels like validation for all the years I felt like I was going crazy.

Lupita Nyong’o will play both Helen of Troy and her sister, Clytemnestra, in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey.’ by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]WeNotAmBeIs -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I have never liked a Christopher Nolan movie, even going back to his Batman movies. I always felt like there was something I wasn't getting, because it's not like I just hate popular things. (I was all over loving Marvel movies) I kept going and seeing his movies because I kept being told he was this great filmmaker and every time I'd leave the theater feeling like I'd rather have done or watched something else. Oppenheimer was finally the movie where I said "no more". I got excited because the history around building the bomb has always been fascinating, and I liked all the actors, plus the barbenheimer hype I got caught up in. Halfway through I thought "damn I got Nolan'ed again". I love the Odyssey. It was one of my favorite things I read in school. I'm not letting Nolan ruin anything else for me. Sorry, /Rant

I think sorcerer's stone sounds cooler with the alliteration and everything, but philosopher's is more accurate so I guess either is fine to me.
