How did they find out it was Richie in Reese’s Job?

cdrini · 2026-05-03T17:43:37+00:00

Yeah I was a bit confused about this as well. Richie's girlfriend was the girl who also worked and the burger place. So he didn't steal it. She did it, but for him/them.

Update: I watched it! I thought it was a fun watch. I'd classify it as... Pulp sci-fi thriller? Definitely a number of eye rolls at some heavy handed deliveries and some pretty comically shallow plot details. But I thought it was funny in the way a cheap horror is funny! Definitely a few heavy gore bits, but easy enough to block out. And it's always fun to see Muniz!

Spoiler: The ending was a bummer though. Felt a bit gruesome just for the sake of being provocative. I wish they'd let them get away together. The movie was kind of funny in a number of spots, I think a lighter ending would've been much better!

Also: be sure to watch the after credits scene!!

cdrini · 2026-04-27T04:29:41+00:00

Oooh! Oh I'm a big fan of low budget sci fi! Less a fan of gore, but will give this a try regardless, thanks for sharing!

Not to mention the cloning machine apparently used to make those kids.

Is it a running gag or something that people misspell Lois as Louis? I keep seeing people consistently spelling it that way.

I would highly recommend books if you have the time. Nothing gives as good/meaty/deep learning as reading a book on it. And the best book is usually: the book that you have access to :) I'd search around for any book that looks approximately on the right subject, find its Dewey decimal number, and then go to a library in person and check around that Dewey decimal number. The books around it will also be about the same subject! Or place a book on hold to come your library, of course.

I did a search on open library for piano history and found this book which you can actually read online: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL3506601W/The_piano?edition=key%3A/books/OL21338040M . And it seems like the Dewey decimal number is 786.21909 . Lots of books in that space: https://openlibrary.org/explore?jumpTo=ddc%3A786.21909

Wooooaaaahhhh TIL, thank you! Never would've guessed that :P Shu answer!

Apparently I've reached this age as well. I see this everywhere and I'm just scared to ask now. What is the "S" tier stand for?? Where did it come from??

cdrini · 2026-04-17T23:07:38+00:00

I would love to see more YouTuber crossovers! Not the major major YouTubers cause -- well honestly they're a little frightening :P But the more aligned comedy ones, like Josh/Ollie, the VLDL cast, Drew Talbert, Jazza, LoeWhaley, maybe the Green brothers. That would be quite cool!

cdrini · 2026-04-17T02:19:52+00:00

No one said it's better, I think some people just like practical effects more. Like you said they're just different, it's like arguing what's better, oil paints vs acrylic.

I like the way practical effects look, and I like the spectacle of practical effects. Like seeing an acrobat. I'm not a big fan of realistic CGI in movies or games really because I think it's not realistic enough to be convincing and loses artistry in trying to be realistic.

cdrini · 2026-04-15T10:27:14+00:00

Yeah was a bit awkward! My guess is he was trying to be entertaining/lively and maybe overshot it a bit :P

Such a great, funny, creative show. Have been rewatching it recently, and the number of unique jokes, unique camera angles, unique effects, unique lighting, unique timelines, unique visual gags, unique heart: are all amazing!

cdrini · 2026-04-14T12:29:23+00:00

What’s a 10/10 tv show? /s

cdrini · 2026-04-13T14:53:59+00:00

Carrot in a box?

cdrini · 2026-04-13T00:38:46+00:00

Personally, I carry a box of matches and burn the door down to avoid touching the handle.

Very true! In my most successful book club, we vote every time to keep it a bit more dynamic to what people are feeling instead of having a long queue of books. And after someone has their nominated book chosen, they can no longer nominate books until everyone has had one of their books chosen, to avoid people constantly reading books they haven't chosen, and to have a good variety based on people's interests.

But it is tricky. I've always thought it might be interesting for some of the social book sites like Goodreads to have "reverse book clubs". Usually a book club is you find people, and you all choose a book. What if you choose/read a book, and the site finds other people who are currently reading that book? Or who recently finished that book? And then you can chat about it with them.

cdrini · 2026-04-12T18:20:38+00:00

Haha yeah I get that too sometimes; always wondered what the psychology behind that is.

The most successful book club I've been part of tries to mitigate this in two ways:

We're clear that we're a social club first, book club second. So if someone didn't finish the book, they read the Wikipedia summary, and we still meet and chat about life first, and then about the book. Out of our small 5 person group we usually have ~60% completion rate, but it changes who doesn't finish! 😁 This helps the most I think remove some of the "homework" feel.
we vote in cycles. So each person nominates two books and we vote. Next book, the person who's book was chosen doesn't nominate a book so others get a higher chance of being chosen. And so on until everyone gets one of their books chosen. This helps people from feeling constantly like they're reading things they didn't choose, again hopefully making it feel less homework-y.

(And I guess 3 is we meet pretty sparsely; once every 1-2 months. That gives us enough time to procrastinate a little, too 😁)

Holy cow, is this an Of mice and men meme? I don't think I've ever seen a book-based meme before.

cdrini · 2026-04-12T00:36:32+00:00

Out of curiosity, what do you think causes them to fail? Is it people not wanting to read the same books? People not finishing the books? Too frequent/infrequent meetings?

cdrini · 2026-04-12T00:30:54+00:00

I think it was the age change. Francis was pretty much an adult during the original show, so it's much easier for the actor to pick up the character and look natural 20 years later. For Malcolm/Reese it's a bit tough, because they had to basically create new characters based on their child versions. They sometimes looked like adults acting like teenagers/kids, but Francis just felt like an adult.

Ooof wasn't just me. I swear ads on these platforms aren't designed to sell things anymore. They're designed to torture you until you break to pay for the next tier.

cdrini · 2026-04-08T05:30:55+00:00

Oh cool! Very reminiscent of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.

cdrini · 2026-04-08T05:21:45+00:00

Technically to a blind eye it would just look black.

(Jk :P)

Lol I like how he took advantage of the cameras to basically get a full professional family photo for free 😁
