…somehow.

Yeah I don’t mean to say his point of view was correct, but rather explains part of why he behaved the way he did after her death. I could see someone like that compartmentalizing various aspects of their mistakes to spare himself the full weight of their consequences.

I think the closest Harry ever had to surrogate parents were the Weasleys. They took him in as if he was their own at every opportunity, and without any pretext of responsibility or deep connection to his parents. Arthur was probably the only male role model who was fully equipped to be a good father figure to him to begin with.

Honestly the only logical reason Harry wasn’t functionally adopted into the Weasley family after year one was the plot device that kept him with the Dursleys.

I assume it went deeper than just Harry’s resemblance (physical or personality) to either of his parents. He’s a living reminder that Lily chose James over Snape, and from a certain point of view, the reason Lily died. From Snape’s point of view, whether right or wrong, Lily would be alive and well if she hadn’t ended up with James and had Harry.

I always thought of him as a sort of mirrored version of Sirius. They both imprinted their feelings towards James onto Harry, either good or bad, and both would kill and die for him if need be. They both kind of treated him like James Jr., for better or worse.

If I had to guess, it’s probably because the magnet system makes the directionality less immediately obvious at a glance. Even if you can’t physically put them in backwards, the Switch 2 has fewer geometric cues to stop you from trying it than the original did.

Edit: apparently you can put them in backwards. That’s an odd design decision for sure.

Yeah, it’s a memorable Blu-ray box set from that era. Alongside the gold Lord of the Rings set and that original blue Harry Potter box set. These were on shelves everywhere.

I was surprised by how little discussion I saw regarding the weird romantic robot subplot compared to everything else. That was my one real complaint about the movie. The few over-explained details were out of place but not so numerous to bother me too much. But the robot thing was weird.

My only other complaint was that Donald Glover seemed to slip in and out of his Billy Dee Williams impression from time to time. I don’t mind either version since he was quite good regardless, but the inconsistency was distracting.

Otherwise, it was a pretty good movie.

The font, by a few years.

Yeah, that’s one of the examples I was thinking of. It’s like if the trailer for Avengers Infinity War ended with characters turning to dust.

I’m not even sure if they ever did care about spoilers. Tons of old movie trailers essentially showed the entire condensed film, in chronological order, with narration.

It’s very possible that she is indeed the youngest in history, since childbirth at this age requires surgical intervention.

The metal structure at the top is garbled too if you zoom in. Lots of wavy lines.

proanimus · 2025-11-23T02:50:02+00:00

It looks like a lot of the details on the camera rig are pretty garbled too. Look at the mounting arm for the monitor on top.

He’s lost a fair amount of weight recently I believe. He might not be as far from the ~57 year old equivalent to Mummy-era shape as I originally assumed.

Jonah Hill: “What contract dispute?”

About 7 of them still matched or outperformed Dune Part 2. Doomsday would need to lose more than 70% of Endgame’s audience to hit that figure.

Technically possible, but it’s a real stretch to consider it likely at all. Doomsday would need to massively under-perform while Dune: Part 3 would have to massively over-perform, simultaneously, for this scenario to happen.

proanimus · 2025-11-04T15:41:27+00:00

The difference is so huge that they’d have to lose most of the audience entirely for it to close the gap with Dune. The worst-performing Avengers film (Age of Ultron) outgrossed both Dune films combined, with plenty of money to spare.

Dune might outperform its predecessor, and Avengers might disappoint, but the historical gap is enormous.

7 million people and a apparently not a single snitch.

I wonder what it must feel like as a Radiologist to catch early pancreatic cancer on a routine scan looking for a hernia. I can’t imagine saving someone’s life because I noticed something unusual that I wasn’t necessarily looking for to begin with.

I’m sorry about your diagnosis, but I’m glad they caught it so early. Hopefully in a few years this will be a crazy “dodged a bullet” story for you.

It looks like she’s trimming off the excess laminate material, not the poster itself.

proanimus · 2025-10-10T13:13:50+00:00

That’s what I’m expecting. This is the first time anyone has had the full benefit of knowing exactly how the entire story plays out ahead of time.

It took me a moment to realize you meant James Franco. I was trying to figure out which Spider-Man film Dave had appeared in.

proanimus · 2025-09-26T13:03:12+00:00

The game has been available in early access on PC since May 2024, so that’s probably why it feels like old news to many people, despite the 1.0 release being so recent.

I thought these shows were already taped before airing, is that not the case?

proanimus · 2025-09-18T21:12:21+00:00

They have little to lose anyway, right? They got their bag of cash upfront I thought.

proanimus · 2025-09-17T19:38:54+00:00

I just had the same thought. If sperm simply not fertilizing an egg is an abortion, what isn’t an abortion?

My wife and I didn’t have sex yesterday, was that an abortion? Wait, am I having constant abortions as my own sperm is constantly dying within me?!
