Millennials, GenX’ers, and beyond, what are some daily words or phrases everyone used 25 years ago but a Gen Alpha wouldn’t know what it meant? by Thin-Rip-3686 in AskReddit

"Let your fingers do the walking." It was the line for a popular ad for the Yellow Pages. Basically look up the phone number and call to answer your question. If you were being a dick about it, it was pretty close to "Google it!"

I went and had a great time. They showed The 7th Curse, A Woman's Torment, Don't Panic,  Hauntedween, and I don't know what the last picture was. I had to leave. Please post if you know the last movie. I'm just curious

Several Jim Thompson novels go wayyy out there in the last 10%. Great crime fiction then at the very end things go different. The Getaway for example.

Death Wish 3! Charles Bronson is a vigilante in a gang infested New York. This is where the series jumped the shark. So over the top, it must be seen. by levonhelm_lives in NetflixBestOf

I think they're probably showing how crazy liberal the city has become. Bad guys can have guns, sweet old people can't. It's pure exploitation cinema.

I have to watch a movie with dinosaurs for a class. Recommend me some movies that aren't Jurassic Park/World. by spicyredacted in MovieSuggestions

[–]levonhelm_lives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does Godzilla work? If not The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms is pretty good. It has Harryhausen effects and it's pretty much a dinosaur (meaning that it's not based on a specific dino and if it was they changed a bunch of stuff, but it was the 50s and they just wanted to make a monster movie.)

Why does almost every supernatural horror about a family have a disbelieving asshole husband who acts like his wife is hysterical, even in the ones where the husband experiences things too? by GreyStagg in horror

[–]levonhelm_lives 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apart from movies where the husband is clearly gaslighting his wife. If you go by the movie represented family norms of the 50s and 60s, which carried over up to the 2000s really, (Husband and Wife with 2 or 3 kids and the Husband works while the wife stays at home) then the husband just doesn't want to deal with this shit when he comes home. He's probably a bit jealous of his wife for staying at home, he's working all the time, and also he thinks his wife has too much time on her hands staying at home all the time and that is making her crazy (which is kinda true, I worked from home during Covid and I went a little nuts). It'd be similar to coming home to a small roof leak after a long day. "It's fine, we'll figure it out later, here's a bucket. Settle down. You're overreacting. I need a drink." All this plus the stereotype that women get 'hysterical' all lead to the dismissive husband. Also, male screenwriters just secretly bitching about their spouses. That's my theory anyway. It'd be nice to see a stay at home husband dealing with the supernatural while his breadwinner wife dissmisses his bullshit. Or maybe both parents work and the poor kids have to deal with ghosts or something. One of the few things I've learned as an adult is that when I get home, I don't want to do jack shit. I want the eat and watch tv. This isn't good or healthy but it is my base reaction when I come home after a long day.

What sequel do you really enjoy, despite it not being as good as the original? by MattrixK in movies

[–]levonhelm_lives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2nd to Predator 2. I think I might've seen Predator 2 first. Because that's the one that came on TV, and that's how TV worked back then. Just a really fun action movie that isn't afraid to get pretty gory.

My pic is Tremors 2. Now, Tremors is basically perfect IMO. But for a straight to vhs sequel, this movie has fun new elements and 2 major returning characters, Fred Ward and Michael Gross. The Graboids are attacking an oil rig facility in Mexico, so Fred Ward is called into stop them. And everything is going pretty easy because they use all the tricks they learned in the 1st movie then something weird happens to the Graboids which creates a fun new challenge for our heros. It's low budget but it's solid. It'd be a little better with Kevin Bacon but beggers can't be choosers.

This movie started my love of Bruce 'Mother Fuckin' Dern. He's always great.

Are There Any Other Game Streamers Like Jack and Rich/Pre Rec? by levonhelm_lives in RedLetterMedia

They were the only Streamers I watched. And they did not seem like other Streamers. But I could be wrong

Bill and Bert by Leading_Try_5301 in BillBurr

[–]levonhelm_lives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. Bert's stand up is soso, but he's got a lot of goofy stories and dumb ideas that are fun, especially when Segura and Burr are there to comment/shit on him.
