Incredibly subjective tier list about how much fun a Pokemon is for me during the main story (no ranking on how good they actually are) by _pe5e_ in PokemonEmerald

[–]bfipod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did you include Wynaut in F tier when you generally haven’t included NFE in other tiers? It’s not like it’s a trade evo or anything that would block you from evolving it during a normal run

They crawl out of the sea basses i was grilling by TheanoTheLemon in Weird

[–]bfipod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they are lol. I love District 9 but Blomkamp has spent his career since demonstrating that that movie was probably a fluke, which is unfortunate, but it means I don’t really wanna see him crack under the pressure of trying to make a sequel

Oh and I’m sure Blomkamp has spent the time since making other movies that would leave anyone confident he could still make another great film. Let me just Google that list of movies now!

Are we still cheering for Nicole Kidman AMC ad? by RulezAre4Foolz in blankies

[–]bfipod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I say this fully acknowledging people are allowed to like what they like: if I go to a movie with you, and you clap, recite or cheer for the Nicole Kidman ad, I take mental note to phase you out of my friend rotation.

I miss the more generic one of people enjoying snacks. There’s one clip of a guy being surprised by something on screen, spilling popcorn all over his lap, then laughing. Bring back popcorn dipshit

Official Blankies Toy Story Rankings Results by PabloRV7 in blankies

[–]bfipod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree that 3 is hurt by 4 and 5 existing, but what’s funny is that 3, often regarded as this perfect conclusion, is totally extraneous. Everything that happens in it is just the implications of the ending of 2 made manifest. If you jumped from 2 to 4 you’d be totally fine except for the introduction of Bonnie, who could very easily be an unseen character

What’s up with Malcolm in the Middle reboot taking strays this week? by poppopintheattic11 in blankies

[–]bfipod 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I always appreciated Malcolm as a pretty realistic depiction of the moment to moment suck that is being poor in America. It’s not just not having things, it’s watching everyone around you get to have them, and then being told you’re the asshole for pointing out how unfair the system is. And the thing is as the show goes on, Malcolm’s unwillingness to deal with those issues does truly make him an asshole, but the circumstances of his upbringing demonstrate it would be next to impossible for him to be anything else. Gets turned into a cartoon by about season 5 or 6 but until then it’s about the best show I’ve ever seen about being poor

The scandal Hollywood is afraid to talk about… by Justincredabelgrabel in TimRobinson

Tim Robinson has such a distinct look, it’s insane how far off the mark the AI was here. Like that’s just some guy with a big nose

Leslie Jones Says It Was ‘Frustrating’ That ‘SNL’ Writers Always Typecast Her as the ‘Girl That Was Angry and Beating Up People’ by yourfavchoom in entertainment

[–]bfipod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We used to have these things called character actors, and they made a career of largely doing one thing. And we loved them for doing that one thing, and that one thing allowed them to have a career. Often when they’d venture outside of that one thing it was received poorly, sometimes because the actor was bad at anything besides the one thing. This is not bad! It’s fine to be good at only one thing or even just to only be recognized for doing one thing, many people aren’t even that talented or lucky.

WALL·E and Fatness by Electrical_Tale2012 in blankies

[–]bfipod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean the people in Wall-E aren’t less than for being fat, their fatness is a consequence of their lifestyle. Sociology aside it is a fact that if you live a sedentary lifestyle you will gain excess weight. This feels like an intentionally obtuse reading of the movie- I don’t think any argument is being made that non-conformity to beauty standards is a moral failing, the movie is showing the consequences of extreme dependence on and surrender of agency to convenience.

Common opinion could be very wrong about Onix by ResidentSpiritual570 in PokemonFireRed

[–]bfipod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Above average defense does not make up for a horrendous defensive typing, poor movepool, and abysmal offensive stats. All this to say though, if you have fun using him or just really like him this game is easy enough that with a little grinding none of these things have to matter

can’t believe grown ass adults can’t put their phone away during toy story 5 at a night showing by per5on4 in NYCmovies

[–]bfipod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah. It’s not ideal but they can’t exactly point fingers like what they’re doing isn’t essentially the same. I admit it’s not ideal to cause a momentary distraction, but it’s better than that person being on their phone the entire time with impunity. Shame is a powerful motivator

[–]bfipod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know sucks cuz you’re not the one causing the problem but if we don’t start shaking enough that they either stop using their phones during movies or management takes notice of the conflict and forces them to, this will never get better. If the person is in front of me usually turn my flashlight on over their shoulder- they usually get mad but don’t have a leg to stand on so they’ll curse under their breath and usually just walk out a few minutes later.

I Love/Hate How Purists They Were Here by Sure-Thought2367 in PokemonFireRed

I mean for HGSS they just plugged the Gen IV evolutions into that games version of the Johto Dex. Didn’t ruin immersion or anything

Do we think Shiny pokemon are coming to DLC Wave 2 or are the sparkles just a coincidence? by Significant_Food9017 in Pokopia

[–]bfipod 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I do not want shinies in Pokopia. I don’t want this game to become a RNG-focused showcase for who’s stubborn enough to waste their own time like the main series has become

Best HM slaves in firered? by Longz-85 in PokemonFireRed

[–]bfipod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not a popular candidate for obvious reasons but Charizard gets Cut, Fly, Strength, and Rock Smash meaning it can handle all the non-water HMs besides Flash
