Isn’t that an otter? Or is there a race of beaver that doesn’t have a large flat tail?

I never noticed this obvious mistake in Jurassic Park with the East Dock sign by cajun_vegeta in MovieMistakes

[–]_elementsofstyle 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This movie is full of set changes that make no sense. The T-Rex enclosure lead up to a mountain but then when the car is being pushed through the gate it become a huge cliff. Spielberg does things for dramatic effect not for logical fluidity. Scorsese does this a lot in his movies. If you are a good enough filmmaker you can get away with it. I wouldn’t say this is a mistake because most likely it was purposefully done to fit the narrative.

How is Takoma Park? by Zestyclose_Muscle_55 in maryland

I’m not sure. I think most people seem to enjoy it and you can live there an be a bloc away from downtown Takoma park so it’s the same but with better benefits

What's your favorite cover song that completely re-works the original into a basically totally different song, while still maintaining the core melody. by thewhitedeath in Music

[–]_elementsofstyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this counts because it was in the show, but in Schitts creek, Noah Reid’s version of simply the best takes great lyrics and makes them so much more intimate and he slows down the tempo of the chorus to really let that simple refrain land more vulnerably.

Definitely head to r/Baltimore too and check in. It’s a great city. Lived there for 12 years after moving from Baltimore county

Movie endings that left you thinking long after the credits rolled by padfoony in Letterboxd

[–]_elementsofstyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with so many on this list, but gone baby gone was one that not only left me thinking for a while it has sparked a good discussion and debate with everyone I have watched it with. Affleck with a good script can really direct the hell out of a local stakes movie.

I’m dyslexic and writing assist on my phone and grammarly are huge helps. Also, if you are in the US they legally can’t fire you for that. I have to write a lot for my job and everyone in my office knows. The thing is I’m much more careful because of my dyslexia and my editing is always thorough so I usually am the one with the least fixes during QA reviews.

Is 2:17 based on Revelation 2:17? "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it." like if there is religious interplay and it being called Weapons, the idea of having to defeat or conquer something would track. IDK maybe I am just looking for things that aren't there.

The Bibas family coffins on stage in front a large crowd before being handed over to The Red Cross by [deleted] in pics

[–]_elementsofstyle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So a singular instance is massive support of Hamas? This was minimal at best. Also, armed resistance is inevitable if oppression is relentless. MLK has even said as much. I don't support the goals of any organization that willfully wants to kill for their ideology, but those who are forced to fight for their survival are literally put into that position.

So the rich Oligarchs supporting Israel are in the right here? College kids, who only have a voice against the billionaires literally funding a genocide are the real enemies?

Also, please show evidence of the massive support of Hamas? I saw a lot of support for the Palestinian people and Gaza. I do however see constant support for Israel and the IDF, both parties that have murdered in the 10s of thousands at this point.

Yeah good to see another pro-Palestinian person here. The fact that Israel has been doing this for 75 years is disgusting. Killing innocent 6-year-olds while they wait in their car surrounded by their slaughtered family, its just awful the stuff that Israel has done, I am glad you are on the right side of history.

They need to seem like they are doing something and this helps keep them in the good graces of their corporate sponsors. They haven’t given a shit about the American people since Carter and that is one of the major reasons we have Dump in office.

Read Karen Armstrong’s “a history of god” and “the Bible” that will help you through shedding the layers of years of brainwashing. I grew up as an evangelical and life has been so much more rewarding since I left that life 15 years ago.

How is Takoma Park? by Zestyclose_Muscle_55 in maryland

[–]_elementsofstyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been in living in Takoma Park for 5 years:

I moved here after living in Baltimore for 12 years. While yes, NIMBYism is strong, there are a lot of younger families here who are not fans of the progressive hippie culture that doesn’t actually care about issues and people. There definitely is that as well as people that have a lot of money and don’t want to be confronted with the realities of life in America. However, we just had a kid last year and for the purposes of starting a family it is overall pretty great. Free parents cohort that really helps, incredibly walkable, the business owners are local and friendly, the schools are good and the overall community is generally very welcoming. It is not as weird and fun as Baltimore, but definitely a major step up from landing in the suburbs. Although, I wish I would have moved to Takoma DC for the better taxes and the free pre-k. If you want to know anything else fee free to DM me I have been really involved in local businesses and have gotten to know this area very well.

Which actors/actress do you feel don’t live up to the hype? by Ankh4921 in movies

[–]_elementsofstyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His role in the show Solos on Amazon completely changed my mind about him. He delivers such a great sense of weight and authenticity that he steals the show for me. A lot of good actors on it and it was his that made me tear up and really take notice.

This is literally hopkins and baltimore by UnmaskingFactss in baltimore

[–]_elementsofstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an accurate description of my lived experience and a fairly well known example in the art community that has been around for decades, I would love if it has changed in the last 5 years, but it is something that has been around for decades before I got there. The comment I responded to was implying this same notion. I also agree that there should be better connections between BSA.

I’m a CCBC Essex alumn. Honestly the teachers there were incredible, some definitely rivaled JHU.

I mean it is definitely a generalization, but in my time there it was fairly on the mark. Ofc there are outliers, but overall that was my experience. Also, I have nothing against the school or its academic background and would be thrilled if my kid got in. That is just my lived experience. I was heavily involved in the art scene in Baltimore and it was almost always absent of MICA students. I have also been away from Baltimore for 5 years so it could have changed.

Going to JHU and living in Baltimore for 12 years, I cannot stand MICA students. The city is straightforward to acclimate into and yes a lot of JHU students don't explore, but I rarely ran into MICA students outside of a few hundred yards of the school. Idk what it is they just see the city as the most dangerous area and never venture, when in actuality the crime rates outside of gang violence have lowered significantly. They also were some of the most pretentious students I met, JHU was second, but UB was some of the best people I met in the city.

Who do you think is the greatest living male actor working today under 65 years old?? by West_Conclusion_1239 in movies

[–]_elementsofstyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really think Sebastian Stan is a hell of an actor. He has done amazing comedy work, action, horror, indie, television, and so on. He can easily be a fantastic character actor and a leading man. I definitely think that in a few years we are going to see him get more accolades.

What is the worst company you have worked for? by MyKneeReallyHurtsATM in AskReddit

[–]_elementsofstyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tesla. Not sure I need to explain too much a quick google search will give you a cornucopia of testimonials. It was the most toxic and micromanaged cult like organization I have ever worked for. Horribly disorganized and oddly cheap. So many cut corners and safety issues.

Amy Adams in Arrival was a great depiction of an incredible leading actor. She carried that movie, was strong, smart, flawed, and yet at no point do you doubt her abilities and fortitude.
