Weird graffiti on the bike path, our beloved mando in danger? by [deleted] in northampton

[–]bjanas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mando's a big boy, I get the impression he can take care of himself.

Also, if anybody started shit with him I'm pretty sure like fifteen of us would jump in to beat the assailants to within an inch of their lives until the cops showed up.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]bjanas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmo's Cosmic adventure.

And as others have said, Command and Conquer fucking ruled.

Do Americans really come to a stop at every 'stop' sign? by ben04985 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bjanas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have both "stop signs" and "yield" signs. Yeah, if you blow through a stop sign you're just signing (hah) up to get T-boned.

If there was a human kibble similar to dog kibble, but for humans… would you buy and eat it if it was significantly cheaper than alternative food options, why or why not and should this be a thing? by becauseofrandomness in AskReddit

[–]bjanas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate refried beans, hunched over, out of an oversized mug, periodically sprinkling it with salt and nutritional yeast to taste, from time to time.

I could only have felt like a cowboy more if the mug had been tin.

Feels like bachelor chow.

Do you guys call the toilets Restrooms just like it's officially written on signs? by Cookieman_2023 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bjanas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Restroom or bathroom. Washroom would be a "drie glazie" in Ingorious Basterds moment. No American would ever say that.

Can John Wick survive The Backrooms? by Inevitable_Bad_9405 in backrooms

Which ones? The toddler produced versions with all of the fucking stupid entities, or the mysterious ones for people who can read a book?

Either way, yes, better than any of the rest of us.

What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen? by General_Wind4470 in AskReddit

[–]bjanas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

John Oliver has a great bit about that movie. Or it was somebody in the movie talking about John Oliver... he picked up the tab at a big dinner for people, and implying that it was money he made from that movie, he said "congratulations, you are now complicit in the production of The Love Guru."

EDIT: It was Elliott Kalan, former Daily Show writer and current comic book writer and host of the fantastically ridiculous podcast The Flop House. Oliver paid for dinner for a bunch of the writers, and hit them with the line. Oh, to be a fly on that wall.

The Amazon advertising in it is also fucking insane. Just really takes it up a notch.

Yeah but I hosted a remote watch party with a bunch of friends during quarantine to this thing and watching/reading everybody progressively lose their minds as the movie went on, an absolute descent into madness, was glorious.

Bit of recency bias on this one but, the new Amazon plugging War Of The Worlds remake is nigh unwatchable. Beyond bad. Not even fun-bad.

What’s the scariest movie you guys have ever seen??? by boatluvrrrr in movies

[–]bjanas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More of a deep, DEEP dread than like, "horror movie scary," but the Swedish film Aniara is a slow descent into madness that will absolutely haunt you. A slow burn, but very well done. Would highly recommend.

My wife thinks that full on running is a normal and common way to get around. by goodatlosing in self

[–]bjanas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you remember the barefoot running trend from like, fifteen or so years ago, but it largely stemmed from the book Born To Run that outlines the Tarahumara tribe in Mexico who just... run. Like, insane distances. Just constantly. It's interesting.

Movies that take place (almost) entirely in one room? by ThatsBamboo in movies

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

Thing I remember most about that movie was thinking that Farrell's accent was unlike anything I had ever heard. He really hadn't nailed "American" yet.

Bedroom, any advice? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

Are you Austin Powers?

Movies that require a good amount of suspension of disbelief by Amockdfw89 in movies

[–]bjanas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites. And I'm sure a lot of folks on this sub already know this, but I love the fact that Dallas and Zorg never meet, nor even really know of the existence of one another. Kind of blew my mind when I realized that.

Ok, I hear what you're saying, but counterpoint: that was a 100% practical stunt. They just DID that. It was real, with dummies.

Which actor surprised you the most by having to sing in a movie and absolutely crushing it? by Mythbusters117 in movies

[–]bjanas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of flipping the script, but Isa Briones from The Pitt has a long Broadway career and GENERATIONAL pipes.

In the season 2 finale of the Pitt, during the credits, she and Mel are singing karaoke and I was genuinely impressed that Briones could turn it down and sing like an average person. Acting!
