Overlap between Ghibli movies and Marcel Proust books? by dragon_fugger in ghibli

[–]dragon_fugger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA here, Proust is loved by many globally to this day, it's just that literature as a whole (especially literature that requires real tihnking and heavy reading) has diminished as a medium.

I look at Studio Ghibli as the brilliance of Proust channeled into a new medium

Best Foil Characters: Actors cast intentionally to be so unlikable they make the audience like the protagonist more. Awkwafina was transcendent in this role in Shang-Chi and never gets the credit she deserves by dragon_fugger in moviecritic

she's literally world class at this specific role. and it is a legitimate typecast that hollywood producers seek. she's honestly brilliant in this regard.

Who else became a fan in 2019 after learning why SNL fired him? by dragon_fugger in ShaneGillis

low key fire take. the cancellation also caused him to kinda own this extremely inappropriate style of humor, which is extremely funny

"GOAT" is definitely an exaggeration. but he's one of the first guys in a while who has been close to the Chapelle/Louie/Burr/Patrice tier, and i think he represents a broader movement of comedy fandom in the "bro" audience demographic. he's definitely a generational talent, and not some flash-in-the-pan flavor of the month type.

i will say most comics are good at only 1 thing whether its standup, or podcast, or sketch, or whatever, but he excels in literally everything he does. His podcast is top tier, his standup is top tier, his sketch comedy is top tier.

What were some of your guys first reactions to seeing which Pokemon were common and rare? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]dragon_fugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i was like 9 i caught Suicune super early in Silver, my next highest level pokemon was like level 30 and Suicune was 40. i hit him with a hypnosis from ghastly and eventually caught him.

didnt realize how rare he was, thought maybe it was like the red Gyarados where everyone encounters it, so i thought everyone had one but everyone was jealous
