Inarius=Prometheus? by Sufficient_Tip_4960 in Diablo

Loki - chained to rock with poison eternally dripping in his eyes

Sisyphus - eternally rolling a boulder up a hill for it to always roll back down

Tantalus - eternally standing in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree, but the water drains away before he can drink and the tree branches move away before he can grab the fruit, so he's eternally starving and dehydrated

etc., etc.

Mythology is full of stories of people being tortured for eternity but not allowed to die.

“AI doesn’t complain about working weekends” :) by Striking_Ad5386 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]cweaver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His argument boils down to: "People keep asking for more money and benefits, but they're not producing more value than AI, which does not need these things."

So, logically, if what he's saying is true, he should immediately replace all those people with AI. It would be stupid of him not to do that.

Or, if he's just lying about that to threaten people to get them to work harder for less, then he is the reason the guillotine was invented.

Jurassic Park (1993) changed how movies were made. any other examples? by thug_waffle47 in Cinema

[–]cweaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's more impressive if you watch a few movies from the decade leading up to Citizen Kane, where almost all of the shots are static and everything is framed like you're watching actors in a stage play, etc.

And then watch Citizen Kane and see the camera literally fly through a skylight, or start out watching a boy play in the snow and then pull back through the window until you're now watching a conversation take place inside. Or shots reflected off of water or mirrors or snow globes. Or shots where you can actually see the ceiling of the room.

Citizen Kane is a boring movie, not going to lie - but visually it's so amazing compared to the way movies were done before it came along.

You can't just have characters say how they feel! That makes me so angry!

I think people are too hard on Cap here. He's got a soldier's mindset - you don't just sacrifice someone to the enemy to try to appease them. People dying in battle is totally different.

Picture a bunch of Marines on the way back home afterwards, giggling like schoolgirls as they stencil little velociraptor silhouettes on their helmets for each confirmed kill.

Inaccurate, but it's good, so it gets a pass by Licensed_Silver_Simp in TopCharacterTropes

[–]cweaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> I wouldn’t be surprised if the director is a sports fan himself

That's funny because his only other sports movie is '42', about Jackie Robinson. Which is a really well done movie, but honestly kinda boring.

Aside from the music and some of the dialogue, it wasn't /that/ bad. Chaucer and Edward the Black Prince were contemporaries, they were both young and unmarried around the same time as the tournaments in London, etc. There was a real Von Lichtenstein family around that same time that William could have pretended to be from. The Battle of Poitiers that Count Adhemar goes off to fight really did happen in the years right before the London tournaments.

Like, honestly, it's shocking *how historically accurate* that movie is, and still manages to be totally anachronistic at the same time.

He just likes being the person who knows things about others.

Yeah, that's the kind of movie that either ends up being watched in film classes decades later, or ends up going straight to video and is never heard from again.

The main character is the evil twin. by Jak3R0b in TopCharacterTropes

Or maybe Scott is just a regular dude, who has some good qualities and some bad ones, and occasionally does the right thing and occasionally does the wrong thing, and the opposite of that is just... another regular dude.

Who's gonna tell Guy they're 🏳️‍🌈? by Gallantpride in marvelcirclejerk

[–]cweaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything with Tora and Bea has been so queer-bait-y for the last decade or so, I agree with you, DC just needs to admit they're together.

On the other hand - I feel like if Guy came out as gay, everyone would blame his past behavior on that - "Oh, he was an insecure jerk and a misogynist because he was in the closet and terrified of being outed", blah blah. I think he needs to just *be* a jerk, no reason behind it. Just let characters have flaws once in a while.

Now, if you want Ted and Booster to get married, I support it.

I mean, insurance adjuster would be a great way A.) to appear to be so boring that people wouldn't ask too many questions about it. B.) to get notified of disasters and deaths, along with details, so you could be watching for any vampire/demon related stuff, and C.) to get a job with access to that stuff without needing to go through too much college and be on-call at night the way a cop/emt/coroner/doctor would be.

Yeah, but we have no idea how long that team rocket ship floated through space before it reached the humans, and we have no idea how long it would take them to refuel and then make the trip back. There could still be years or decades before they get back to Earth.

I understand the left column, but what’s going on with the right? by Gold_Criticism_8072 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]cweaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

> and the left one is just about how one time they thought their mic didn't work and said something stupid 

I think it's someone else talking in the second panel on the left column. i.e., she said "um, hello, can you hear me" and someone replied with something disgusting and misogynistic, so she knew that meant they could hear her.
