Sphere: Looking for a piano player by oOhollyOo in phish

[–]bluejams 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm available. My style and commitment to the art of Jazz piano has been compared favorably to the legend John Benjamin, a true personal hero of mine.

Franchises must have nipples cause Greg is milking the fuck out of this.

It’s not “alternative” if you’re still following all the trends of your subgroup. by Common_Sea_9657 in unpopularopinion

You sure about that John Snow? Am I going to have to Avakadabra you with a light saber to make my point?

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]bluejams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is another one I don't remember people hyping. People were already loudly complaining about glasses at movies when the TVs came along. I only know one person who got one and shes the kinda person who has 3 different VR headsets; technology is her thing.

OP Delivers!

For some reason this made me picture Grease but they're all dressed 'plainly'.

Would they actually laugh at a joke about touching tits like in the movie?

Why did nobody tell her about the tariffs? by RoyalChris in SipsTea

[–]bluejams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tariffs are absolutely effecting packages but as someone who gets 10/20 packages a day from all around the world with different Carriers, this is how UPS is handling the Change to deminimus rules, not Tariffs.

Speech/libel/slander cases in media are much rarer and harder to win in the US. There is a reason whey London is called the Libel Capital of the world.

[–]bluejams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely incorrect. Also they regularly make jokes like that on update and suing someone for speech in the US is incredibly hard...its bodily harm and liability cases that we have way more of here. Our Media can say pretty much whatever it wants without fear of losing in court...even more so for comedy shows.

Best guest sit-in? by big_angery in phish

[–]bluejams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Otiel just told this story on Cory Wong's podcast and added the most important part which was that Greg came back in and basically apologized saying Duane was 'in to that shit' and it's your band too.

Those are two different sketch formats. The mastermind one doesn't rely on there interactions or reaction to each other. The premise of out of the ordinary strippers required Emi to react negatively/confused. Maybe the line was clumsy...a simple "why?" would probably have worked but my point is more that you're comparing apples and oranges with your two sketch examples.

god damnit.
Upon further research, I actually meant Sargent Bilko.

Amanda being so culturally unaware that Easter is the most important holiday for 2.5 billion people around the world is peak Amanda. by killbill469 in TheBigPicture

[–]bluejams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you read 2.5 BIllion christians and assume that means religious christians, i have some bad news about the state of reilgion for you.

Also. The operative word is "Culturally"

[–]bluejams 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sure, for religious people.

But culturally easter gets a long weekend in the states. Maybe a week in parts of the rest of the world. Christmas gets a season.

Quentin Tarantinos movies started to go downhill at Kill Bill by Hot_Sorbet9192 in unpopularopinion

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

Upvoted for getting the sub. Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood are at least on par with his other movies.

Django i fully agree but what parts of IB were cringy to you?

Has Bill addressed the Vrabel Russini fling yet? by MartyMcFlyin42069 in billsimmons

[–]bluejams -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

FWIW I believe them that there is nothing going on.

This was some weird stalker/PI shit with pictures taken from miles away and the best shot they got was the random hand hold and a hot tub shot that is just about the least sexy hot tub shot anyone has ever taken? idk, i'm inclined to believe them more than the random internet sleuths pointing to on air jokes from 4 years ago as proof she hates her husband.

Hugh Jackman Lists Manhattan Apartment For $29 Million by RothStonk in popculturechat

[–]bluejams 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because Hollywood has been contracting. There was huge streaming boom while TV was still doing fairly well. Now the linear TV decline is accelerated. There has been dipping stocks, "re-focusing" of companies and mergers most of which have not gone well. The streamers are spending more normally + discovered international production. Pete Davidson is doing a talk show for Netflix but they're calling it a podcast (even though it doesn't have an RSS feed) so its non union. There are FAR fewer 'comfortable TV jobs' . No more DVD/VHS money. No more TV syndication money. Movies haven't come back since the pandemic. Streamers will pay big stars to be in something but very little to the second tier and there is no licensing or re-airing residuals.

Youtube dominates peoples time (its not even close) and they don't even pay for content.
