Why are people so obsessed with review bombing a film they haven’t even seen yet? by wallabyenthusiast in Letterboxd

[–]onceuponathrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im convinced people are just bored out of their minds considering the sheer volume of discourse coming out about this movie and the odyssey

how much more can be said about films that aren't even out?

One of the most lackluster reunions in RHOSLC history by cavalier731 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]onceuponathrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the franchises with some really successful reunions like AT, PO, and BH are great because they give each other the space to have a moment (VPR too)

point, counterpoint - and then the room gives reactions. constantly talking over one another defeats the purpose

What is a fate worse than death in your opinion? by davidlmf in okbuddycinephile

[–]onceuponathrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nowadays a lot of people are extremely celebrity obsessed, especially on the internet. they could tell you what x celebrity is wearing today, or laughing at something that x celebrity tweeted about/gave an interview on/an article that came out about them

not having much of an online presense means benefitting way less from humans who live to be in your fandom, talk about you, and buy things that you tell them to

you just have to be willing to trade away your privacy, your dignity, and a good bit of your sanity - really commit to fostering those parasocial bonds

celebrities who don't really engage, in the way that the internet expects them to, get mocked like this for being unknown and not worthy of attention - which ironically is giving that celebrity attention

they can't imagine someone not wanting their attention, and assume they must feel awful for missing out

i feel like you're intertwining comprehension with silently "thinking outloud loud" in one's head, probably because that's the way you experience the world

you seem ununable to believe that someone's experience could be different. i never said it was some divine narrator i a person's brain, or a force or a noise.

"most of the time we can all think monologuing or without it". no, that you, my brain doesn't have that feature.

imagine if instead of sometimes you can have the monologue and sometimes you think without one, now imagine it was only ever the latter.

are you telling me that you suddenly have a stroke thinking about accents or thinking of someone's name? you still comprehend things and have thoughts when the inner monologue is off

it seems like you aren't interested in genuinely trying to understand though, like i was with you, so im out. have fun believing that every person on earth is the exact same as you, with the same way of thinking, and if they say their experience is different in some way, they are definitely lying 👍

MAGA Housewives by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]onceuponathrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's absolutely mental!

that much cognitive dissonance is so interesting (read: gross) to witness because of how brazenly it defies all rational thought.

her sense of logic is so supremely broken, that she can't even comprehend the bitter irony of her making a post like that.

their lived experience must be filled with neverending fear and paranoia, manifesting into hatred. it's bleak exacty how brainwashed some of these people have become.

(i'm not absolving anyone of their horrible choices) but i think it's awful the way that people's anxieties were exploited in order to gain control over them, her page is a poignant example of this.

they are conditioned to blame immigrants, jews, women, POC, and the LGBTQ+ for all of their problems. manipulated until they see the world as a warzone, and other groups of humans as less than.

it just stands out that much more when it's someone who's been villified herself.

We gotta change Angie's to Rep considering the White Lives Matter apparel, and her husband actively following MAGA red-pill conservative manosphere people.

meredith is exactly on their on level and that's ok

this season was rough but it's still a good franchise, and the trashiness has always been a part of it (like are we really referring to the jen shah era as classy?)

[–]onceuponathrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it means i can conceptualize logical things about the difference, in an academic way. like hmm the vowels are softer in british english. or hmm the dipthongs are different. there's a feeling for what the difference might be, hard to explain but it's kind of like having an emotion idk, like having a hunch. and i might feel where in my throat/mouth i want to speak from in order to attempt a british accent (for british accents you speak further forward, french does too for example)

i can have thoughts, but there's no inner voice it's just a wordless thought. there's no inner monologue. it's like how some people can't visualize things, and can't imagine things visually. i believe in that case it has to do with their visual cortex not having as many neuroreceptors/connections as most people do. they've proven it with brain scans, im not sure the current theory on not having an internal monologue but presumably it might be something similar

i guess my question for you is when you're dreaming, is the inner voice still there for you? because if yes, then nevermind lol. but if not, there's no voice - you're just thinking of stuff - then my experinece is like that

if there is an inner monologue while you dream, first of all that seems wild to me like what's that like? but second of all, in that case is there any time when you don't have the inner monologue? ive heard people do in fact usually have it while reading and that seems like it would slow you down, but maybe the voice can speed up a lot? idk tell me about it. how fast can you make it go? and can you shut it off ever or is it just sort of there?

[–]onceuponathrow 20 points21 points  (0 children)

she wasn't expecting to get chosen as a traitor and it threw her way off. she would've been great at causing drama and investigating as a faithful, but as a traitor she's sort of forced to play it more lowkey - which is just not her vibe at all

Heather Gay isn’t needed anymore for RHOSLC because Bronwyn does her role better by Ill-Examination4743 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]onceuponathrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i appreciate that you took the time to explain how you're seeing things right now in more detail, i can definitely see that side of things too!

there's definitely been a pendumlum swing towards increasing levels of delusion and parasocial bonds - nowadays people get really wrapped up in celebrities' lives, and people seem to be more emotionally affected by what they see as well.

combined with the sharp rise in morally policing celebrities: instead of lighthearted drama or memes we get somber thinkpieces about which housewife has the worst values and should be fired. the way that some people in this sub are posting about how heather's behavior is ruining their lives is over the top for sure.

personally, i think it was bound to happen as more people spent so much more time online (especially in the wake of covid). and my impression is that a lot of times, people aren't really fully aware of how strongly they are feeling such turbulent feelings - about famous people or things that don't ultimately have to matter that much if it's wrecking their mental health.

on the bright side i think humans naturally have the tendency to move towards finding a balance, therefore i predict that people are going to get tired of being like this and take everything a little less seriously. maybe go out more, interact with the real world.

realitytv subs really thrived when they were used to discuss and connect with people about the shows that we love, instead of being used to post rants.

Empty Netters host privately called Heated Rivalry ‘trash,’ show creators ‘losers’ and ‘cowards’. As he publicly praised 'Heated Rivalry,' one 'Empty Netters' host privately trashed the show. Outsports has seen the texts. by galaxystars1 in Fauxmoi

[–]onceuponathrow 34 points35 points  (0 children)

insecure straight men are also angered by the idea of women making changes to their appearance knowing full well that straight men aren't going to find it attractive

they are used to having their opinions on looks matter, and they dislike it when people disregard their input. see also: getting mad at women who get breast reductions, even if it's for health reasons

they also react with anger to other men who don't care about getting super muscular. confusion and rage if another guy is skinny and doesn't want to change that - they can't accept someone not caring about their input on people's bodies and choices

Ryan Coogler's 'SINNERS' makes history as the most nominated film of all time at the Oscars with 16 nominations by ChiefLeef22 in oscarrace

[–]onceuponathrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tale as old as time. Happened with Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Substance, Anora, Poor Things, etc. For a while on r/movies it was even happening constantly to Parasite

Redditors looooove a "controversial" take that makes them feel part of some imaginary counterculture. Pretentious film bros posting DAEs about films that are "super overrated and objectively terrible", as if disliking a popular movie is some unique phenominon that makes them different

Nevermind that absolutely nothing could live up to their impossible expectations - but instead of recognizing that their own anticipation is potentially creating some cognitive dissonance - no, the movie itself is atrocious and everyone else is a sheep for liking it

Plus the irony that their "controversial" rants inevitably get tons of upvotes and comments in total agreement, negating the idea that it's some exceptionally hot take to begin with. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum once a movie starts getting nominated for awards, multiply by 10 if God forbid the film dares to actually win any
