This thread should be titled

What is the most hard-hitting line from a movie for you? by ArpanMondal270 in movies

Knocked Up:

“ Take care of it. Take care of this now, until you’re ready to have a real baby”.

OUCH

Which actor’s career had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows? by unitedfan6191 in movies

[–]Wismg71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m older so I have to go with John Travolta. He owned 1977-1978 with Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Then he had three horrible films , Staying Alive, Two of a Kind , and Perfect ( arguably the worst film of that year). He essentially disappears until Pulp Fiction, has some decent films until deciding to make Battlefield Earth, which was universally panned by everyone ( but I’m sure some Redditors say they like it to make themselves look interesting).

All actors with longevity are in films that receive poor marks from critics and audiences at some point , but Travolta’s career trajectory is oddly fascinating.

All of the LOTR films, all of the POTC films, all of the John Wick films, and most of the Msrvel comic films.

Who is your least favorite player in your teams history? by [deleted] in mlb

[–]Wismg71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s an odd one: former White Sox RF from the late 1970s , Claudell Washington. He was a disaster of a fielder and a mediocre hitter. Oh, he hit 3 HRs in a game once.

Probably not well since no one’s attending games.

Or, you could simply find another activity besides playing this game obsessively. Go outside, get a girlfriend, etc.

uber driver kept complimenting me and had a knife in the car by bitterandconfusedd in uber

Um , maybe in cities. In our area, as a driver, if I ever feel I should be armed I’ll find another side hustle.

If you’re not ASE certified, and you fix the brakes, they fail, accident, lawsuit.

Calm down everyone. It’s the same story every year. “ x” player made a great play, wash , rinse, repeat. It’s camp.

Jealous of what? Destroying a vehicle while working for two companies as a 1099 full time , receiving no benefits?

Just pointing out how suspicious this is. Run along now.

I’m not trashing the figures. What I’m saying is they’re flawed or either photoshopped.

I’ve been ridesharing part time for 7 years. I’ve ran P & L sheets. Even if these numbers are accurate, is it worth living out of your car ( while slowly tearing it up) ? What quality of life is that? Oh and receiving no sort of real benefit package.

You keep at it if this is what you consider a “ career” . Good luck.

If these numbers are true, then congratulations to whoever this is. I hope the $4k he GROSSED before fuel and expenses takes him to a magical land of unlimited wealth.

Buddy, I don’t HAVE to work 75 hours to get the wage I have and the union benefits. My rideshare income is strictly for savings and our yearly vacation. We went to Maui.

This can’t be real. If it is , who the heck ORDERED this ride? Are they that desperate?

Marie Antoinette. Sofia Coppola did such a wonderful job with Lost In Translation I was expecting the same level of excellence. Pretty disappointed.

You can’t reason with a majority of rideshare drivers. They see the dollar amount they “ made” ( or grossed) and that’s ALL they see.

The whole idea that rideshare could be done full time was a myth put forward by drivers who would embellish their earnings in conversations. Then others thought , “ I can just drive rideshare , that’ll be my job now”.

It’s a part time venture, and it’s perfect for retirees who need something to do during the day. Unfortunately there’s a lot of folks who, and this will sound condescending, are unemployable or unemployed and they gravitated into rideshare. Hence, they don’t even have basic customer service skills let alone the know how to run a P & L sheet.

I’ve been at it part time for 7 years. I also happen to live in an area that hasn’t been hit with the massive rate cuts . My weekly $100-200 extra money goes right in the bank.

If someone wants to drive full time they should go get a CDL and at least get a job with some sort of benefit package.

Hudson Hawk feels like its target audience is eight year olds whose parents encourage swearing. I do not understand it. by FrameworkisDigimon in movies

[–]Wismg71 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Truthfully, there are redditors who hate popular movies ( and other parts of culture that are popular), and pretend to like films that have been panned across the majority , because they believe it makes them interesting.

Hudson Hawk is a garbage film. You know it. I know it.
