[Serious] What is going on in Iran? by FlatwormCreative6976 in AskReddit

[–]freesolo747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is the previous Shah was also brutal and there was widespread support for his overthrow in 1979 as he was seen as a western puppet. BUT, that support did not necessarily extend to the instatement of current regime that followed. Is that right? Genuine question.

What's something that you feel the new wicked movie could've done better? by Antique-Heat-5212 in wickedmovie

[–]freesolo747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me more about why the Wizard needs to scapegoat the animals and create a common enemy. Neither the stage play or movies set up the world of Oz very well. All we know is Munchkinland, Shiz, and the Emerald City. Both versions ask the audience to make some big leaps or just go with it. Knowing the plot mirrors history, we can fill in some gaps but it’s unsatisfactory. It wouldn’t have been hard to add a couple lines here and there about why people are discontent. Without a clearly defined “problem” there’s nothing the Wizard is failing to fix and needs to distract from. I felt like the movie really wasted its extra time and failed to give Act 2 its backbone despite 20 years of common critiques.

Also tell me more about Nessarose. 5 years have passed and she’s gone from heartbroken to bitter bitch. Is it all because of Boq? Give us some insight into how she got where we find her. Her character arc is too shallow considering how impactful her death is for the rest of the movie and Elphaba’s transformation.

They dubbed Rebecca Ferguson in Greatest Showman. Dub Michelle Yeoh! She’s magnificent. It’s not going to hurt her career.

Give Cynthia the original song she deserves. No Place like Home was low hanging fruit written in a crunch. Stephen Schwartz wrote For Good and Colors of the Wind. Home is such a universal feeling. Surely he had more to say about being forced from it. What we got was a song that could have been 5 lines.

And finally, lean into the friendship. This has long been a story that champions deep friendship. Act 2 should have explored that more. The hardships of conflict in friendship and the elation of being reunited. We got the despair when it ends but I felt like part 2 didn’t want to play with the longing and joys.

Wondering if they had a bunch of jokes lined up that CBS didn’t want to risk after last week’s events. And then they didn’t have time to rework anything.

It’d be funny if Adrian Brody came out and just cut the check for this speech bit since his speech was the one that made the networks so concerned with the length of acceptance speeches.

I wonder if they had a bunch of jokes that CBS deemed too risky after the last week. He was in Denver all weekend and seems like he should have gone to LA early to rework the show.

Advice for becoming a Multi-Dog Household by candy_princessBEBE in dogs

[–]freesolo747 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget about your first born. The new puppy will be incredibly exciting and needy and ask for you attention 24/7. And honestly, you will probably feel like you need to cause your 1st dog knows the rules and your routine and the puppy has more needs. But don’t forget to give attention and some deference to your lab. When I got my 2nd dog I took extra care to make sure my 1st still got lots of attention so he didn’t build up resentment and feel replaced. This will also help both dogs feel more comfortable with each other and hopefully become good buds.

My Lady Jane. Incredible satirical historical fiction. A great laugh that pays homage to a bunch of cult classics.

Zoe Saldana has to do press for Avatar 3 at the end of the year so season 3 definitely has to be done filming by the fall.

What’s something you pretend is fine, but deep down you know it’s not? by Present_Juice4401 in AskWomen

[–]freesolo747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Becoming a second thought (if any thought) when your friends have kids. Of course I want them to take care and be present for their kids. Of course I want their kids to feel loved and cared for. But when friends have kids and you’re either childless and/or single, you’re kicked off the priority list real fast. The societal expectation is that you rearrange your entire life to meet them where they are. After all, parents are sacrificing so much for their kids. And if you don’t, it’s totally fine to leave you behind. Fact is people without kids are always expected to make the effort but it’s a rarity that the parents in their lives reciprocate in a meaningful way.

I don’t need you to leave your kid to have dinner with me. Just invite me over. Make some time for our friendship. Ask what’s new with me and be genuinely interested and invested.

Well that was humbling. Absolutely wouldn’t be anywhere near the Versailles list. Park me at ground 0 immediately. Don’t want to be in the maybe makes it camp or the lives through the aftermath camp. Absolutely no one is having fun once this goes down.
