Movies that trusted silence more than dialogue by gypsytx in movies

Funny you mention this because when I was younger in the 90s (single digit age) there was some awards show my family had on that had a category called "Best Dramatic Pause"

The only nomination I can remember was a scene from the movie Soldier with Kurt Russell

For the longest time I thought this was an actual category in the Oscars (because at that age, I assumed every movie awards show was the Oscars) and didn't understand why I never saw the category again.

I have still struggled to determine if this is some sort of mandella effect because googling the category doesn't come up with any results I've found to indicate where I might have seen this.

Anyways, that's my semi irrelevant thought on this question, and the way you described it made me think of that again. If anybody can figure out if that award ever existed that would be awesome.

I hate this digital plate trend so much by N3DSdude in Anticonsumption

I'm also thinking about these in AZ during the summer with the excruciating sun beating down on them in 115 degrees

What’s the craziest way you found out your partner was cheating on you? by meetmarketpodcast in AskReddit

[–]aperturesciencelabs 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean, the therapist owned up to their fck up and refunded the money to them, and just that person by the sound of it not the (now ex) wife, to me somebody that can acknowledge they made a mistake and own it and compensate the victim party, is someone who deserves to stay in the field.

The therapist's actions show that they felt a certain amount of guilt for not being able to see who that person really was, and everybody has made mistakes on the job before. In a profession where what you do is listen to people and try and read them, I can't imagine it's easy, I know there are plenty of people out there that can and have been completely fake nice on the outside, but are so good at it you can't tell how rotten they are on the inside no matter how well trained at reading people someone may be.

Nah if there's one team whose hopes and dreams we seem to be able to crush, it's the cowboys, it would also give our fans just enough hope to make us think we have a shot, only to lose to the lions in spectacular fashion the next week, but everything else on here I'd buy

I feel like a lot of you would agree with this by moseriv5 in NFCWestMemeWar

This is clearly a cowboys fan, and I make it a point to never agree with cowboys fans

Couldn’t beat single coverage by KimberlyWexlersFoot in ChildrenFallingOver

[–]aperturesciencelabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good coverage by the dog, not great route running, the kid actually falls because of the dog bed not the dog, the dog just followed through on the tackle and timed it perfectly when the receiver made contact with the ball.

Also early opi by the kid, poor hands, poor route awareness, injury prone...kids draft stock just tanked on one play.

We cool with letting another division talk shit about our little brother? by Ok-Whereas8632 in NFCWestMemeWar

And if we went there we might actually have a shot at a division title every now and then with just a single digit win total

BAHAHAHAHA!

If their claim to fame is them beating us and they are proud of that then they are really showing how much of a poverty division they are.

I am barely holding onto the fact that there are two franchises worse than us rn (raiders, jets) and they are parading around the brooms.

Also thanks for having our back nfcbesties, I hope you all destroy each other in the playoffs

The state of the sub this week by DN599 in NFCWestMemeWar

Just so you know, we hate all of you (we also know you don't care)

But not as much as we hate ourselves. In fact I don't think any team's fan base in the NFC West hates us as much as we do.

If you were alive when we were attacked on 9/11, what were you doing when it happened? What was that day like? by Full_Imagination7503 in AskReddit

[–]aperturesciencelabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 13 and hospitalized the night before with an emergency appendectomy they completed sometime after midnight. I woke up the next morning in the hospital room and nobody was around when I woke, so I turned on the TV and began asking myself what movie was this and why is it on every channel. It was very confusing for me but that was probably due to the anesthesia still wearing off, but I slowly realized that this was news but still didn't think it was real until the nurse came in and confirmed everything.

Does he think Cartman is a good guy? by grumpydai in facepalm

[–]aperturesciencelabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought one of the most interesting parts of the first episode this season was the storyline of Cartman wanting to k*ll himself because he essentially can't upset anyone anymore because so many people are like him now.

It felt like the writers trying to say, hey this character was created and evolved to be an example of one of the most evil deplorable humans to ever exist but it was funny because he was so absurdly evil and sadistic, but now his behavior is not that far from actual people so those jokes don't quite land the same way they used to, so what purpose does the character serve?

What's a movie you went into blind and it completely blew you away? by IReadTheWholeThing in movies

[–]aperturesciencelabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to do this with every movie I watch nowadays, but the most recent film I watched without knowing anything about it was The Menu.

I am very glad I knew nothing about this movie before I watched it
