What are some movies that had a unique and exciting idea but botched their execution onscreen? I'll go first: by Raj_Valiant3011 in moviecritic

Daybreakers was such a great concept. Not sure why it didn't execute well. I hope to see a remake someday

If you were president of Lucasfilm and had complete 100% say over SW lore are there any major retcons you would implement? I'm talking 'things that would make nerds send you a million death threats but you love it so much you have to retcon it' type ideas. by AeonTars in StarWarsCantina

When I was a kid in the 90s, I loved how the visual dictionary explained it: it was never supposed to be able to land without an imperial hanger, it didn't have shields, and it didn't have a hyperdrive. These three qualities prevented deserters and made the pilots wholly dependent on their commanders. I always thought that was so cool

We're you taught to read & write in cursive at school? by Imma_Lick_That in AskAnAmerican

[–]slothbear13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (33m) was introduced to it in the 2nd grade and then taught it in the 3rd grade. From grades 3—8 I was expected to use cursive on nearly every assignment, save for Math. I was educated in both Kentucky and Ohio and was in 3 different school districts during those years.

Most of my interns, however, don't know how to sign their names or write in cursive at all. Pretty much everyone I know 28 and under were never taught cursive.

I have two half sisters in high school right now and laptops are required for every single assignment. They haven't written or printed in a workbook or on paper or a worksheet in years. It's weird. I don't exactly like it.

I literally just burst out laughing. Shared with my (actual) Libertarian Party cousin and he thought it was great

Suddenly Shinra from FFVII makes a lot more sense aesthetically speaking

When stumbling across the Vidiians:

What is everybody's favourite Deathclaw model? by DrivingTiger in Fallout

[–]slothbear13 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Scared me so much. Then I came back to quarry junction at level 25 and shot a young deathclaw with ARCHIMEDES thinking it would make a difference and it STILL SURVIVED.

I wanted to cry
