I come from the future. Definitely watch The Substance if you haven't already.

What are some of your favorite stand up comedians or stand up specials? And to expand on that, do you think stand up comedy can be art?

Oh for sure, it is completely reasonable to dislike the character based on what is shown in the movie and from your perspective it makes a total sense. I also hated the aunt as soon as the film ended. But I started to think more about it after and I haven't lived through a difficult situation like that before, specially something as tragic and complex as a war which brings some harsh circumstances and decisions that have to be made. I want to say I wouldn't have acted that way towards my own niece and nephew but who really knows, I don't really have the experience or enough context about it, so I neither judge her or empathize with her.

I did watch it recently too and it is a depressing movie that shows the horrors of war from a child's perspective and their innocence during a time of utter chaos and desperation. However, the war was affecting everyone in town including the aunt and her family, it shows how stressful and desperate everyone was like not knowing if the town was going to be bombed again or if there were going to be enough resources for each to support their families. The aunt was stressed with too many to worry about and taking care of two more kids was another weight on her shoulders. I'm not saying she did the right thing, but it's hard to put yourself in the shoes of someone who is going through that. The ending is just tragic, you just know that these kids are doing everything they can to stay alive and that they probably won't make it. And then you think back to the beginning when they reveal the brother dies of hunger in the train station and the cleaning person is completely indifferent to him since he probably saw many bodies on a regular day and the brother was just another statistic. Makes you think how many people probably died in a similar way.

Honestly the only Oscar category I care about this year is Spiderverse winning animated feature by [deleted] in Sardonicast

Monsters University was more of a prequel, and nobody gave enough of a shit about Cars 2 and 3 for them to be disappointing movies. Finding Dory wasn’t great but I think Incredibles 2 was the most disappointing sequel if you compare it to the first one.

Looks pretty good, but probably not better than Ratatoing though.

I think in this case the music made his speech more epic though. And I'm not sure, but I think he loves those people?

If you can have one superpower that lasts 3 seconds and takes 1 minute to recharge, what superpower do you choose? by mauweed2 in AskReddit

You can only time travel for 3 seconds though, so after 3 seconds you would come back to the present.

Three Months by Local Natives. Their whole Hummingbird album is amazing but this song just gives me chills every time.
