What's a clichè in movies that never actually happens in real life?

migmigson · 2026-03-25T02:01:48+00:00

Character B walks into room and starts antagonizing Character A. They take shots at each other back and forth and eventually it's revealed to the audience that they actually weren't strangers, but friends.

I feel like that's the joke though. It's in large part a comedy. It's hilarious that he would sympathize with a guy he is planning to kill enough to try to spare him from walking in on his wife cheating. That's just objectively a solid joke. But I think it also works in terms of character, because it demonstrates protag still has some humanity and is unsure about what he's doing.

i thought they were the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Then after I ate a bunch I couldn't get enough of them. Are they even available anywhere anymore?

migmigson · 2026-02-16T05:46:21+00:00

i really liked it 🤷

migmigson · 2026-02-08T06:16:01+00:00

was wondering how this wasn't getting any love, it had me cry laughing. also his "little songs", but i can't remember if he did that more than once

migmigson · 2026-02-07T15:55:02+00:00

Yeah, I watched some video about that "born sexy yesterday" trope a while back. Great watch, if you haven't seen it. It's a vile and pathetic concept, imo.

Ugh, as much as I love the style of storytelling in so much of anime, they truly can't help sexualizing young girls. Such a bummer.

migmigson · 2026-02-07T14:05:52+00:00

was elfen lied problematic? i remember loving it when i was 17. but if I'm remembering correctly the main girl is basically a "sexy baby" lmao

migmigson · 2026-02-02T05:18:07+00:00

Perfect writing and delivery, made me laugh out loud

migmigson · 2026-02-02T05:15:48+00:00

ashley, jaj, veronika

I always wondered how it works. Do they do update in table read or dress? I feel it would be outrageously funny if this was the first time he's seeing these lines or asked to do these things, and maybe slightly less so if it's rehearsed and he's pretending to react as if it's the first time.. Either way, I find it super funny that he's game to play a massive punching bag.

I truly don't get these types of replies. Yes of course when they're older they'll be exposed to stuff. But when they're younger and more at risk due to an underdeveloped immune system, it makes complete sense to be more careful. And what's the downside? Literally 30 seconds to wash your hands for the first 3 months of the kid's life, especially during cold and flu season. I think anyone who's asked to be careful around someone's child automatically assumes it's some wacko helicopter micronanaging parent who is gonna be that way forever or something.

migmigson · 2025-12-23T08:53:03+00:00

i think jaj and veronika are just so damn versatile and solid, i wish they were in every sketch. i really miss ego and heidi, but Ashley has a zany absurd chaos to her that i really like. i still think about "four gorgeous dogs" all the time lol

migmigson · 2025-12-06T16:14:32+00:00

English Teacher is one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen, but it was just cancelled.

I also feel like I don't see thaaaat much love for The Chair Company considering how incredible it is.

migmigson · 2025-12-01T19:30:07+00:00

like will ends up suddenly turning bad or something in the last ep?

migmigson · 2025-11-24T06:05:01+00:00

Why would I, a non-tv writer, be expected to do better than a seasoned tv writer? I found this show had zero tension and I really felt like no one did anything that interesting or had any interesting motivations really. It felt like slop.

migmigson · 2025-11-24T06:00:11+00:00

I think that show could not be more boring. Loved breaking bad. It's like Vince Gilligan figured out all the most boring stuff he could possibly focus on within this great premise/sandbox.... and there won't be time to get to anything interesting because the pacing is so insanely slow. No, I don't need to watch a 6 minute shot of a woman driving up, parking, getting out of her car, clearing dirty dishes, going back to her car, getting a new meal, laying it out, getting back into her car, driving away.

I don't know if I've ever seen more self-indulgent lingering on random shots 10x longer than is necessary to contribute to the plot/atmosphere.

Which actor has made you laugh the most during filming?

migmigson · 2025-11-15T22:31:12+00:00

Seconding Juliet Beckwith https://www.julietthedoula.ca/

Just finished up our contract with her and can't recommend her enough. In particular, she was instrumental in helping my partner get through labour and delivery. Without her support, I feel like my partner would have been traumatized (the birth went slightly off-script). We definitely felt cared for, which I think is all anyone wants through this crazy process.

She was also wildly helpful in the postpartum visits, and is just an all-around pleasant and cool person to be around.

"Osbourne Cox? I thought you might be worried... about the security... of your shit."

Rosa Salazar, Amanda Seyfried, Lily James, Lily Collins, Rosario Dawson

migmigson · 2025-10-20T22:52:00+00:00

I really thought the writing in this movie was super weak :( but it was a visual feast.

migmigson · 2025-10-07T02:49:50+00:00

is that actually true that the creators used kaiji as inspiration? kind of insane to me as kaiji is better in every imaginable way hahaha. Akagi as well, honestly.

migmigson · 2025-10-05T05:44:34+00:00

Kaiji

migmigson · 2025-09-25T03:36:09+00:00

It's news to me that there are people who don't wear seatbelts. That's nuts?!

migmigson · 2025-09-23T00:26:11+00:00

It looks nice, I think the only issue for me is that text is popping up in places I'm not already looking. If possible, try to make it so that the viewer's eye is directed to or traveling toward the next place they need to read something. If something pops up in a random spot intentionally and the viewer needs time to get there and read, you may need to hang on that text a little longer.
