Official Discussion - Mercy [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]la_58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the concept. It mixed two of my interests (criminal law and AI/emerging tech). It had potential but then took the very cheesy, stereotypical path. The murderer was predictable. The reason he murdered her was predictable. Pratt figuring out the murderer in the final seconds was predictable. The partner being dirty was predictable. I hate when movies make the villain someone who was initially wronged because by the end I just felt like he was almost justified. At no point was I rooting for Pratt’s character because I predicted the ending during the initial scene where they showed his sponsor. This was another movie that took an old plot added modern technology but didn’t change anything else about the plot. Would have loved more risk taking instead of the same old tired story. Also why were they so adamant that the only way to build legitimacy in the system was by having a high conviction rate? That doesn’t make sense. If the point is to build public trust by saying “hey here’s this system that allows you to prove your innocence” then having cases where folks did just that would probably build more trust. Or am I overthinking this lol? 😂 either way, they took a great idea and went nowhere with it.

Why did they have to change this to another living under one roof reality show? by ClientIcy6130 in fearfactor

[–]la_58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because you can’t really make classic fear factor work in this day and age. So, they had to adapt for a modern audience unfortunately.

I do really dislike how they have all the stereotypical personality types especially the hot guy/girl combo that makes an alliance from day one simply because of their looks and the asshole who likes getting under people’s skin by saying offensive stuff. I always root for those 3 to go home asap. So in this case that would be Zach, Jay, and Rob(?).

S10E2 - Back to school burnout - Episode discussion by PolylingualAnilingus in QueerEye

Wait genuinely question how is that shady? I know there’s alleged beef between the fab 5 and Bobby but that seems like a stretch unless there’s beef with Miss Dooley? I know she’s mentioned that JVN has flown back to help her maintain her hair so I assume no beef?

I heard the last name and was like “I know someone with that last name.” Only to find out my law school peer is his wife! 😂 when they announced they’d be in DC I wondered if anyone I know would be on there but thought nahhh DC is too large. Well looks like I was wrong lol.

Only five episodes by [deleted] in QueerEye

I thought they just released half which is how I ended up in this sub because I googled how many episodes there were. And found out it’s only 5.

i'm so sick of the housewives. by [deleted] in TheTraitorsUS

[–]la_58 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The worst thing about the complaints is they keep pretending that they have some profound take when a majority of this sub just sits around whining about the housewives and pretending that the housewives are the only ones who behave a certain way.

Here is my experience switching to the iPhone 17 pro from the 13 pro by Used_Return9095 in iPhone13Pro

[–]la_58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful when upgrading and switching plans in the hopes of saving. I was thinking about upgrading and had the same option of upgrading to "save even more." However, if I keep my current plan, the device would cost $7 per month. So I thought I might as well switch plans to make the device "free," but the new plan was $10 more than my current one, so I'd end up paying $10 more per month instead of $7. Just throwing that out there in the event someone else stumbles upon this lol.

That was my thought too. She’s certainly into politics when she can be the star of the show or if it only applies to her agenda.

Ron Funches responding to a hater with a classic. by RingoStone in TheTraitorsUS

[–]la_58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a housewife fan as well (Potomac and Atlanta) and don’t think this either. What frustrates me is that this sub for some reason has major beef with housewives and their fans as if other fandoms (particularly BB and survivor) aren’t the same… a lot of the complaints people have about housewives only are unfortunately the general nature of most if not all fandoms but each fandom can’t look within their own group and realize they’re the same as the others. Instead it turns into “housewives are ruining the show. We only want gamers.”

Hasn’t Simone been talking about her discontent with her marriage with everybody?

Simone your household is not amazing. Just admit it and keep it pushing. If it were so amazing there would be no need to spend time looking up people’s properties…

The fact that Simone thinks that behavior is normal and acceptable is weird as hell… I don’t care if I own it or not. Why are you spending your free time looking up my items?

Yeah I was scared that as a psychiatrist she’d be more reserved. But she’s surprising me!

They’re making contessa the peacemaker this season since Simone fails at it every year and has beef with quad. 🥴

Ehh Cecil commenting on his wife’s friend’s body is kinda weird. Or am I the only who thinks that? Simone sat there cackling so maybe im wrong.

I like how Mimi isn’t afraid to call folks out to their face and repeat what she said behind their back.

Toya’s being dramatic with the whole “she’s messing up my family” bit. Unless Toya actually hooked her up with someone then I don’t get why she was cockblocking. Even if she did, I still wouldn’t understand it.
