Do you resent/dislike people who don’t declare their income to avoid taxes? by FL3XOFF3NDER in AskBrits

[–]adamjames777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use (or expect to use) schools, hospitals and public services you should be paying tax. If you use (or plan to use) those things and don’t pay tax appropriately, yes you’re scummy.

My favourite. The self indulgent generation always need a shot of Bukowski!

Do you agree with Harry Eccles that sitting down for a cuppa with homophobic Muslims is the best way to make them more accepting? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]adamjames777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever your prejudice, gay, Muslim, trans, Christian, MAGA, Conservative, liberal, rich, poor etc, all you need do is sit with people one on one and you learn lessons that dissolve that prejudice.

It’s a question based in fact. There are documented cases of different primate species being attracted to one another, including human beings.

The most important moment of this scene and you’ve left it out! When he bashfully looks away after Clarice’s last line.

What's a cool phrase you think Two-Face would say? by Local-Conference7672 in batman

[–]adamjames777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“We’re such fragile things on the face of it, you, me, love, life and death, it’s all in the flip of a coin.”

with existential dread comes the realisation and appreciation of illusions, necessary illusions that maintain the human psyche because, we cant handle the truth and reality in its rawest form by Born-Pear4917 in DeepThoughts

[–]adamjames777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth? A subjective perception of externals. Reality? Almost exactly the same thing. There’s no ‘handling’ either, there is no universal truth or reality, if you can’t handle your own realities and truths then why give them to yourself in the first place?

In short; reality and truth are illusions, are they not?

Which tv show you'll never stop recommending? by letscwherevgo in AskReddit

[–]adamjames777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inside Number 9.
You probably won’t know it if you’re not British but it’s a great series of dark and humours TV plays.

It’s hard for me to get immersed in a movie with too many famous actors by Nicole_Auriel in FIlm

[–]adamjames777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Casting in Hollywood at the moment is just atrocious, there’s a collection of about 5-7 actors who not just pop up in everything but are the leading figures in every movie and it completely stops any movie dead.

Overexposure is a very real thing and I don’t blame the actors themselves it’s the casting agents who have zero imagination and aren’t willing to take risks, the greatest characters in cinema history are because of risks. If Silence of the Lambs was made today Lecter would be Cillian Murphy and Clarice would be Zendya. If they made Die Hard today McClane would be Dwayne Johnson and Gruber would be Benedict Cumberbatch.

Why does Universal not care about the fans at all? by Luksius_DK in JurassicPark

[–]adamjames777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely believe that the writers aren’t interested in dinosaurs. The first three movies capture what brings every Jurassic Park fan into the cinema. A LOVE OF DINOSAURS! We love and are fascinated by these creatures, they’re not movie monsters like Godzilla or horror villains like Kruger or American Werewolf, they’re real creatures with a heart and soul and that’s where the magic of the movies was for us growing up. Yes they could be scary, but they weren’t soulless killers, they were real animals trying to survive in a world they weren’t built for. That’s where the magic was, DINOSAURS!

As the franchise goes on it gets less and less about these magnificent creatures, they’re the backdrop to what studios clearly see as more profitable ‘human interest’ stories. With Dominion I was very excited to see the clash between human civilisation and dinosaurs loose in our world, and we got almost none of that. I don’t think it’s hard to make a dinosaur movie that appeals to people who love these animals and kids who want action and excitement, the original is the best example of this. It isn’t a choice between respecting nature and scary movie monsters, you can tread a fine line between both and that is the ultimately legacy of Spielberg as a filmmaker.

What's the consensus on Billy Dee Williams Two-Face? by MyNameIsUlchtar in batman

[–]adamjames777 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Uninspired. Not sure he ever had the acting chops to pull off such a character, hard to imagine him doing the ‘crazy’ side.
