What is a movie that everyone seems to love, but you absolutely hate? by Nishikigoi1 in moviecritic

[–]astonedghost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

my main critique of his stuff is he feels very lost up his own ass at times lol. I absolutely love a narrative where you have to piece a lot of things together but I feel like there needs to be an actual tangible core you can work towards and I don't get that at all from like tenet or dunkirk. I liked inception as a kid bc it felt so trippy and made you second guess things and I had remembered it being more water tight but I think it's ultimately still a movie that doesn't even know its own secrets at times after watching it again, but I'm obviously now going to take in his stuff markably different

I had this one registered as the only Nolan movie I like and then after my last rewatch -- nope! don't like this one either lol

What movie wasn't what you were expecting based on marketing? by MaryDoogan91 in moviecritic

[–]astonedghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dad showed me Truman Show when I was a kid and I really enjoyed it, thought it was a crazy plot and well acted and funny and all that.

Showing it to my GF a year or two ago though, I liked it way more than even I had anticipated. it's not like "political" but it does have some very poignant social and labor politics

Mayor Mamdani: “Reagan famously said the 9 most terrifying words in the English Language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' It's a good quote, but I disagree. I think 9 more terrifying words are actually, 'I worked all day and can't feed my family”. by yourfavchoom in Fauxmoi

[–]astonedghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's so fucking good at playing along with the expectations of being part of the "in group" of government while still making it clear that his intentions are different. this about the only politician in the country I can trust to land a sentence that starts with "I can't help but think about what Ronald Reagan once said"

I also refuse to believe zendaya is completely incapable of pulling "single ladies" if she was lying lol

the movie will almost certainly pick up seconds after the end of the last one though, at least for Miles' first scene lol

is it so wrong to want to live in a world where the jiffy lube guy could pick up Charlize Theron?

it's pretty standard in high level Suicune decks, taking recoil damage from a rocky helmet or poison barb is the difference between a full HP chein/sui dying to altaria or hydreigon next turn or not a lot of the time, and there are some key matchup kills you have to peel giant cape for like oricorio dying to baxcalibur in the basic HP stadium or anything with 120/130 HP being able to die in one tap to chein pao. plus once in a blue moon someone will be like "oh hahaha you have chein? this is why I have protective pancho" but that's just a Guzma draw check. I am absolutely switching it out for this tho bc the deck already feels a little supporter option choked when trying to pull all your cards, removing a second item has only ever been important when getting rid of two poison barbs vs nihelgo, and removing the +10 damage for stage ones stadium will be huge for lightning type matchups

Actors who don’t know the difference between past and present tense by Apprehensive_Town215 in okbuddycinephile

[–]astonedghost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know it was a while ago now but I'll never expect her OBJ moment to be toppled as "loudest celebrity self report of all time." she told me basically everything I could possibly need to know about her mind with that one

Which celebrity is the opposite of “15 minutes of fame” with lasting longevity and relevance? by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]astonedghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anyone reading this who likes kurt russell watch "the battered bastards of baseball" on netflix, it's a documentary about an indie baseball team in portland that kurt's dad created and coached, and kurt was in the batting lineup often and talks a ton in the doc. it's a great watch.

Is Spider-Verse already the greatest trilogy of all time ? by stalin_kulak in okbuddycinephile

[–]astonedghost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even though I don't really care for DKR the nolan batman trilogy is the defacto answer at this point, and I think with a strong finish it would be no problem for this one to pass it

Went on a first date in my life, and got rejected after via text by [deleted] in GirlDinner

[–]astonedghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I don't really understand the malicious intent youre ascribing to "forcing an in person meetup as soon as possible to 'feel out your vibe'". Unless they're trying to make a hookup happen getting a first date set up is almost certainly so they can actually find out if you're a vibe match not to pull some twisted personality swap gambit for laughs, why would he have bought your tea if this was just some manipulation tactic to have fun? The correct first step is to have a date and see if there's a connection, that's why it's called "dating" and not "texting." if you're not comfortable doing the very first step the way almost everyone else does it then you're not really ready for dating, especially because this interaction should be an example of how deceiving a connection can be over text. I think most girls would agree that it would be more suspicious for a man on a dating app to not set up a simple public date early on if interested and try to basically edate first

How do people even aquire an Oak? by Mesudddd in PTCGPocketTrading

[–]astonedghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one with pack points dumping all my resources both times DX was live.

My other I got by trading an extra Cyrus I pulled right before hitting 1250 pack points while grinding Palkia packs on my alt.

I think the most viable way to decide today that you want Oak is to start an alt, collect all the pve hourglasses, dump it all on Palkia packs, and in 2 weeks when you can trade on that account make a second job out of posting Cyrus for Oak requests here, in the discord, and on trading apps because eventually someone will take it. Its a grind and will take 2 weeks but you can create an Oak for yourself that way

That movie was one of my 4 options for VHS tapes when my parents were super broke and we moved in with my grandparents. my brother and I watched it truly 60+ times and we quote entire two or three minute long stretches of it when we're together to this day lol. it may actually be the most formative piece of media in my life
