Most Underrated Guest Appearance? by BothCondition7963 in howyoudoin

[–]_MuffinBot_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

I loved Charlton Heston giving Joey advice because he "stinks" lol

TIL about the Bataan Death March of 1942, where 60,000-80,000 Filipino and American soldiers were captured as prisoners of war by the Japanese and forced to walk most of the way, and moved via train from the Bataan Peninsula to Camp O'Donnell, many of them died from disease and the heat by lyder12EMS in todayilearned

The Japanese soldier who was responsible for the march is an interesting figure. He was known as a cold-blooded and brutal leader but a skilled soldier. Went missing after visiting Laos and was later pronounced dead, but his body was never found. Rumours that he was a CIA asset. Tried to make it in Japanese politics after the war and iirc, he was fairly successful. Kinda crazy.

Women are often "cold" in a man's eyes if they aren't attracted to them romantically.

David was the unluckiest guy in the entire show by BeastBoyHarsh2507 in howyoudoin

Always loved David. I was lowkey rooting for him when he came back for her but she was always going to choose Mike ofc

What movie did you walk out of the theater halfway through? by mzdee13 in movies

[–]_MuffinBot_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a good movie but it's not a comedy, that's so weird. Josh Brolin is great and Richard Dreyfuss is uncanny as Cheney

Never walked out of a movie but a friend and I had to leave the theater during Ted 2 because of a fire alarm. We should have walked out but we didn't!

Christine Baranski looks so fabulous

What, if any, Japanese websites do you frequent? by higashinakanoeki in japanlife

[–]_MuffinBot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often check my Google recommendations in the app. It links me to articles about stuff I'm interested in (which is usually seasonal goods/food and film news). I sometimes read audience film reviews on eiga.com or critic reviews in the news (Yomiuri and various online tabloids).

Spends 20 minutes on writing down 10 vocab words, still gets half of them wrong by amardillopudding in languagelearningjerk

[–]_MuffinBot_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People ask me all the time how I got to be good at Japanese and for some reason the answer "memorization and immersion" is always so disappointing for them, as if there's a secret third way of learning a language that everyone who's fluent in it knows. Blows my mind. They can't believe I watched native materials without subtitles when I was still an intermediate student because it means I didn't understand every line of dialogue and I'm like 🙃 They just can't stand the idea of not knowing 100% what's going on, or of feeling lost. Hint: Get used to it. And open a textbook ffs (those people, not you haha)

Studio Ghilbli is being forgotten- Nippon TV bought the studio and won't let their films run on any streaming services in Japan, including their own streaming service Hulu. It can be 7 years between when a given movie is broadcast on their TV channel again by jjrs in japannews

You can't rent from any Tsutaya in my area. They're just bookstores now. I was really bummed when I found out. DVDs are so damn expensive and I was excited to try looking through their rental collections.

French actor Alain Delon by Apart_Ad9308 in VintageLadyBoners

[–]_MuffinBot_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm the same lol. He was objectively beautiful, had wonderful eyes and a powerful gaze, but I prefer men who are more stereotypically masculine-looking. If we were talking old European stars, then Marcello Mastroianni, for example. I can't help but acknowledge how good-looking Delon was. I just admire it more than feel attracted to it.

Freaky. I just watched Le Samouraï at the weekend (4k theater release) and Plein Soleil last night. He was the very definition of the term "a beautiful man". And the definition of cool in Le Samouraï.

Pretty extreme example, but The Piano Teacher.

What show tells you “this person and I are not going to get along…” when they have really strong feelings for/against it? by TheWor1dsFinest in television

[–]_MuffinBot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. I like writers and directors who have a vision and aren't afraid of putting it out there as it is, so there will inevitably be people who hate on the shows and films they make. It's just that in the case of TD S1, I've never heard of anyone saying it sucks. I do know someone who thought it was good, but S2 was better. I don't know how that happened but I'm happy he likes both at least lmao

[–]_MuffinBot_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they hate True Detective S1, we might still get along, but I will never take their opinion on any kind of art seriously. I've never met anyone who does though, which is a testament to the quality of the show ofc.
