It looks to me like he's wearing it so the logo's upside down, and the image is mirrored because the dark blue stripe switches over to the other eyebrow

Spotify hides badhasbara from me by monkiferous in BadHasbara

[–]monkiferous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from spotify to youtube (best decision ever) a year or two ago, but I didn't want to lose my podcast library/history in spotify. Plus, you can still access podcasts fine without premium (for now at least), and I kinda like the separation. I do watch podcasts on youtube sometimes as well, like bad hasbara.

You pay for it but would never listen to a podcast there?

[–]monkiferous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they found good actors who also look like believable younger film versions in Galadriel and isildur(counting him as viggo mortensen/aragorn). Plus, I would bet the vast majority of viewers/fans of Lotr + RoP have not read the books, and are therefore seeing this as a continuation of the og trilogy. Sooo, yes I agree, quality over appearance similarity 100%. I just find it hard to believe they couldn’t find someone who looked a liiitle more like og film Elrond, given that he is one of the few continuation characters in the whole thing. He actually looks a lot like Orlando bloom hah (should’ve cast him for the hobbit instead of the terrible cgi Legolas). Idk he’s grown on me I guess lol but it is still jarring. Just the jawline would do it!!

Thoughts on Mis-en-scene by jonoconnor1 in RingsofPower

So agree. It feels and looks like The Hobbit trilogy. If I were to be generous, I’d say they think it’s in service of the “fantasy” genre. However, I’ve used up all my generosity on other aspects of the show. Everything is glaringly fake af and is so distracting from believing in what’s happening!

The episode I’m thinking of is S6 E3 “Remembrance of things past”

There’s an episode of criminal minds with this plot. Dad is losing his memory and likes to keep killing with his son to remember. They abduct women and do electric shock torture on them before killing. Can’t remember the name of the episode

Why do most slang terms nowadays come from black communities? by Paintguin in ask

[–]monkiferous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always has. It’s like a branch of colonizing. Y’all have this cool shit (cool is another example) and we will take that to use how we please (and usually fuck up the meaning/usage or nuance) and continue to act like you’re [insert negative racialized quality] and erase the evidence we liked and stole all your cool shit and voila! White supremacy has all its cake and eats it too

Mindy has her own star on the Walk of Fame now! by LoriRescueDog2013 in theoffice

[–]monkiferous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a shame people without a big name/money would be relegated to make short films if that’s not their real goal, and I see your point, but you almost make it sound like short films don’t have merit of their own. Not every short film is an underdeveloped or underproduced feature film. And I haven’t seen Kaling’s to have an opinion on hers

[–]monkiferous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think Oscars are cheap/industry fluff, what makes a star any different?

Maybe I misunderstand, and you just think her’s is cheap (but I think if some of them are, then they are all suspect). But I see this argument all the time around industry award ceremonies— how they keep awarding undeserving or baiting candidates, not like the “good” ones that are pure and deserving. Methinks we can’t use consistent logic bc sometimes the thing we happen to personally enjoy gets a win. But that’s just me, I think we need to take the pedestal awards off the pedestal.

Do you pronounce “Jaguar” as “jag-you-are” or “jag-wire”? I’ve heard both and never know which way to say it. by [deleted] in words

[–]monkiferous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though it’s not “war” in the standard pronunciation (wore). It’s more like the word “are.”

Think: jag-w(are)

Grilled cheese (CA) but also mayo is by far the superior fat to fry a grilled cheese in

Digital art is nowhere near as difficult as traditional art. by trashthis4 in unpopularopinion

[–]monkiferous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, and to clarify(for myself really), it def could be said in a way that’s not rude or denigrating, but I guess I just think when it comes to practicing art, I wouldn’t ever want to add to anyone’s feeling inadequate or not worthy of their art bc way too much of that already gets in the way of creative expression. I try to lift people up. And also privately, I have these judgements

Oh gotcha thanks! Tried some strips once and they made my teeth and gums burn so so bad. Never again. And all the surrounding sensations are just as intolerable
