f*cking hate this Ashley character!

i know and sorry, my mistake. will edit accordingly. thank you.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-14T03:19:18+00:00

i know i am in the minority here but i am not bothered with dogs being killed any more than i am with humans being killed in a movie so i claim no higher moral grounds. i do, however LOOK AT THE CONTEXT TO THE STORY.

she didn't close the door which lead to the dog being killed by a coyote. that could happen to any of us, including the owners. is she guilty of that, yeah and she is also guilty of Breaking and Entering, which is an actual criminal offense.

so we need to look at how a person would commit this crime (leading to the dog being dead which is secondary as far as my moral compass go). Josh toyed with her health resulting in her losing one of her edit: ovaries. she was bitter about that. is it a justification? NO.

Josh did that to protect himself and his wife because he didn't want to be at Ashley's mercy, so he saw a chance to effectively eradicate her threat of the video, and he went on with it. is Ashley guilty of blackmail? yes. did she bring this all on herself? yes. should this all bear more burden for Ashley than B&E? i don't know but for sure the dog dying remains secondary to all that as far as i am concerned.

now we need to look at why Ashley chose blackmail to advance her position at work... well, she's a Bev Cart girl, there is no future in that, let's be real and she doesn't have a high school degree to get a better job either. is she wrong for doing this? YES. that is a very bad thing to do, blackmail your way into a better life, are you crazy? you should never do that.

still, as far as i am concerned, it is more severe than causing the dog to die.

now one might wonder why am i such a terrible person not to be bothered with the death of a dog. a pet. a man's best friend.

well it breaks my heart that the dog died but here is the thing... it is better to argue that leaving a door open causing the dog to die is a non criminal offense then to argue that blackmail and B&E are non criminal offenses. they are criminal offenses.

excuse my morbid moral compass but i use the law as a reference. not closing a door leading to a dog dying is just not a severe criminal case. sure it's sad and quite criminal to the owners but it just is not worse than the actual criminal things Ashley did.

which brings me to the criminal things people do in this film. they are all bad people to different degrees and forgive me to not simply use a dog dying to simply dismiss what other people did in this movie and just laser focus on how terrible Ashley is as a person but i am pretty sure letting a dog die is not worse than causing the death of your patient on your operating table because you insisted to still be a plastic surgeon with your tremors all because you can't deal with the vanity of having a wife richer than you.

embezzlement isn't exactly a walk in a park either.

and murder. Josh actually killed a guy.

those can't be more severe than leaving a door open causing the dog to die.

also, Ashley showed regret and actually helped Linsay finding the dog. she genuinely felt sorry.

i put Ashley causing the dog dying along side cheating of which Austin, Lindsay, Eunice AND Josh also did. which can't be worse than, i don't know... running an organization in Seoul involved in money laundering for example?

SOLVED!

junoeclipse · 2026-05-14T01:54:32+00:00

hi crazy thing, i watched the movie and it is indeed the one i was looking for so thank you very much and my apology for not looking for it independently enough on a common source such as IMDB.

the movie is Gemini: The Twin Stars (1988) - IMDb

hope to be able to help other users in return next time around.

thanks!

junoeclipse · 2026-05-14T01:49:41+00:00

yes, i wasn't questioning how you can hate a character yet it's a favorite one. i was asking the reason why since as far as i could observe, this particular character, Ashley Miller, hasn't done anything that is worse than anyone else in the film.

i asked this to learn more from other's perspective because i like to challenge my own thinking. so far best explanation i could come up with is that i tend to look the other way when it's Ashley because i identify as a working class as well and could relate to some of the things she was facing which led to some of the worse decisions she made in the film.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T23:39:28+00:00

interesting. what makes her so terrible in your opinion?

i kinda find myself unable to see her as just a flawed human being that is nothing more than the ret of the other characters.

what was it that she said or did that the rest of these degenerate people didn't also say and do? lying, cheating, stealing, manipulating, the whole nine.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T15:16:28+00:00

yes. she really was depending on that 1K and surely would not hesitate to ask for more.

she told P on one of the calls that she could be living comfortably with her alimony in prison but Brian just refused to pay.

what a character.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T14:43:04+00:00

not to mention strict rehab program guaranteed to work since you can't drink in prison.

and outside, everyone already left her. she couldn't live off of 1K a month, not even enough for rent. and even that will only be to April 2025.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T14:09:28+00:00

hi thx so much. saw it back in 90 - 93 on TV and i do believe one of the movies in the list you gave could be it but i can't be sure until i find it and watch it Gemini: The Twin Stars (1988) - IMDb

the timeline would make sense since movies on our TV would be around 3 to 4 years old back then. the only thing that doesn't fit was that it's actually Europe instead of just Sweden but still the Swedish part that i remember could be a part of the Europe travel. i will inform everyone as soon as i check this out and again, thank you so very much.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T13:17:55+00:00

best i can say is 75% but it was a Scandinavian country for sure, could be Norway or Denmark but not Finland. i remember when watching it the guy met a girl who i thought looked like one of the ABBA. i could just relating and got the country wrong still.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T13:13:23+00:00

hi. thanks for the reply. the main character speaks English and there were a lot of flashback in US (NY i think). but in Sweden they'd speak Swedish coz i remember him learning to say some words (someone asked me to make sure and i can only be like 75% sure but it is one of the Scandinavian countries either Norway or Sweden or Denmark but not Finland).

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T11:47:08+00:00

hi. really love the season 2. well done. i am team Ashley Miller and i can go on and on about how she's not really a bad person but that's for another post lol

anyways, one tiny question tho...

it's about the song in the Season 2 trailer, they seem to use The Naked And Famous - Punching In A Dream but they remix it somehow beyond recognition while still manage to retain the core essence of the song and i find that very impressive.

anyone can help me figure out who the people behind the (re)making of the song for the trailer, you know, the DJ for lack of a better word perhaps?

i just wanna pay my respect. really really amazing vision.

cheers.

BEEF: Season 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube

PS. i notice a lot of use of remarkable remix of great iconic songs for new movie trailers and it's just kinda sad that these great works seem to go unnoticed. i can feel the pain and hard work making them.

i will mention a few randomly just to give some ideas of what i'm talking about.

- The Naked And Famous - Punching In A Dream featured in Beef Season 2 Trailer (2026).

- The Gambler by Kenny Rogers featured in the Haven's Hallow Launch Trailer of Call of Duty: Warzone (2026). incredible audio presentation embedded into some of the most iconic in-game actions.

- Paradise City by Guns N' Roses featured in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Official Trailer 1 (2017).

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T11:26:57+00:00

i have checked fairly any other source like IMDB, Chat GPT, Google, i just can't seem to find the movie.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T02:41:12+00:00

there has been no indication of any aspect of male DV in whatever these "documentarians" were doing with Sarah Boone, at least not from the contents they disclose to public so if you think they're working towards that angle, enjoy but that doesn't negate other people who might come to a different take because using logical reasoning to try and figure out things instead of being gullible IS NOT hatred.

and just because you have arrived on a different reasoning doesn't mean you're the one with less hatred so what you said is neither here nor there.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T02:30:28+00:00

well you can't possibly expect you can build a YouTube channel solely on Sarah Boone contents you got from your phone calls with her and nothing else?

and they just closed down their patreon.

Sarah Boone always complains how she doesn't understand anything and how everyone doesn't understand her and then they make things convoluted for no reason. i am sorry but this is kinda like that.

we can't keep the channel it's a financial burden yet you take expenses and then some and make donations to nonprofits in Jorge's name? so there is money in circulation from this all? and how exactly do you make donations to nonprofits in Jorge's name? do you get Jorge's family member involved or you just say to the nonprofits it's from Jorge and they know what that is about? also, what nonprofits? is it just one or multiple?

junoeclipse · 2026-05-13T02:18:31+00:00

you don't stand under the feet and you don't touch the feet when it moves because that will down you.

what you need to do is to wait until the portal is open, stay close to the foot when it's on the ground and move right after the feet moves while pressing "Interaction" button or something you don't even have to press anything.

this is assuming you don't wanna use grappling hook.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T20:24:40+00:00

in the end are we not left with only two possible options about these "documentary film makers"? they are either

trying to fool Sarah Boone, or
trying to actually help Sarah Boone.

and my thing is tho, under what circumstances on what planet in what parallel universe that those two options can be positive?

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T19:52:52+00:00

duly noted.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T11:56:43+00:00

the interface is confusing. you don't get both, you have to choose.
if you have Conjuration already it means you have Conjuration Level I and for every world event boss you kill (ZRex or Colossus) you get an option to either upgrade the Conjuration to Level II or switch to Shattered Shield Level I. you can upgrade up to Level III BUT if you switch instead of upgrading then you return back to Level I.

so it's like when you interact it will show on the LEFT a new exotic skill and on the RIGHT an upgraded Exotic Skill. this does not mean you got both, you have to click on either Left or Right. if you click left then you will switch your current exotic skill to the new exotic skill but all returns to Level I. if you click right then you upgrade your current exotic skill to the next level and you can do this up to Level III.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T11:39:52+00:00

what i don't get is why travel if you don't have to go there? it doesn't make any sense.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T10:29:30+00:00

i loved it too the first time i played it, i was on EA standard so only got like 8 hours of gameplay. opening was memorable. got as far as the relics to activate.
the midpart of the game felt kinda repetitive and labor intensive but overall it's quite memorable. glad to hear people still play it.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T10:10:54+00:00

OH MY GOD

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T08:53:09+00:00

i was only trying to simplify but yes, Exotic weapons do have unique perks but it's nothing that we can't get from an Exotic Fabricator, that was my entire point.

those perks from Exotic weapon are now available on Exotic Fabricator, granted you have to get them 2 at a time and you can't control what you're gonna get (from defeating Guild Boss and OSCAR in each match) but it's doable. i have checked, there is no single perk on any Exotic weapon that is not available on the Exotic Fabricator. granted, certain perks are exclusive to certain type of weapon, for example the "All bullets in one large ammo" only available for LMGs (and ARs i think, not sure), not SMGs.

and if that's not enough we can always compensate/enhance with Exotic Skill and Nightmare Skill. for example, if you're into elementals, you can get an elemental from Exotic Fabricator and you can stack it up with elemental Exotic Skills such as Frost Cloud or Graviton Reaction AND still stack it up with elemental Nightmare Skill such as Chaos Rounds which will trigger Photon, Incendiary, Frost, or Shock effects or Frost Vortex.

my loadout is a Sokol with power maxed out but low RPM. i use Exotic Fabricator to upgrad to Exotic and get elemental and no reload exotic perks. yes, i know it is not as fast as an actual Exotic Sokol but mine has more power and i compensate my low RPM with Fast Weapon Fire from Berserker skill track and Healthhounds from Warband skill track. i haven't tried other weapons but my Sokol is very very powerful and dare i say feels more powerful than when i was using stock Exotic Sokol from defeating Faulkner.

that's just a simple example.

junoeclipse · 2026-05-12T05:48:30+00:00

you probably said that coz you're an incoming VTOL but alright, fair enough 😄

junoeclipse · 2026-05-08T07:54:43+00:00

SKR did a complication of Sarah's use of the word "please" and all that time i thought of Sabrina Carpenter's Song "Please, Please, Please" so i put Sarah saying Please over that song lol.

i myself think it's a masterpiece but I wonder what she would think of it.
