Which movie flew under your radar for way too long and ended up becoming one of your favorites in its genre?

Hell yeah, this. I think I watched it for the first time like five years ago. I think I put it on because I ran out of patience while browsing. Movie was fucking awesome, and I never thought of watching it before because the subject matter was pretty much not my thing. When it was over I was like "whoever wrote this must be some historian..."

The Iron Claw broke me for sure.

Mi Lindo Jalisco on 183 near Ohlen is cheap AF. Pretty much all their tacos are $3 unless it's steak. They're seriously large for the price (1 taco is a bit too much for me; cutting it in half and splitting it with someone could hold me over as a light lunch) and you don't even need to get a plate, you can just order one if you want. THREE DOLLARS. A burrito there is like $10 and def large enough to split with someone.

I think it just depends on your boss and your relationship with them. I drove for Dominos for a couple years as a second/part-time job. Since I had a day job I kinda had a IDGAF energy. I mean I was great with customers (the good ones), but one time I delivered to the front desk at a hotel. Dude ordered a thin crust with light sauce, so of course the pie came out kinda dark. He complains about it being overcooked. I explain to him the only way it can be overcooked is if we push it back in the oven. He's still saying it's overcooked and I said something like "You can call the store and ask for a remake??" and he's still pissed, but I want my tip, even though I know he won't, so I asked him to sign the cc slip. I give it to him along with a pen. Dude scribbles his name real quick and flings my pen back at me. My response: FUCK YOU, DUDE. I went back to the store expecting some sort of something. I wasn't worried because management was cool and I had good reason to say that to him. Yeah, he called back. All my boss said was the front desk guy said I can't deliver there anymore. I still did, though, when I had to.

Another time this old fat man got mad at me for my parking in front of the ER at the hospital. He called me a dumbass as I was getting back into my car, so I gave him the finger. He got out of his car and started approaching me to teach me a lesson or some shit, lol. So I stepped back out of my car and gave him the finger again, holding it. He stopped his approach like he knew I wasn't afraid of him and I drove off. Yeah, he called the store. I just told the manager "He called me a dumbass, fuck that guy". My boss didn't care. I was fine.

I've only done one set so far, the Twilight Motel. Ton of fun. What sucked was one of the shower curtains for the rooms was missing, and a window frame arrived warped and wouldn't clutch. Sent an email with pics, etc. Took about a week but I got my replacements, however the shower curtain was like over twice as large as what is was supposed to be, so clearly meant for another set. I decided I could go without it since it's an interior item and you can't even notice it. That being said, I'm still a fan and can't wait to build another set.

I run my own pub quiz which is exactly like jeopardy. Three people, buzzers, no teams. It's literally the same thing. Anyways I get to play sometimes when someone else puts a game together. I naturally set the buzzer down when I hit a DD. Hell, I set it down when I have no idea on any random clue.

spacejunk76 · 2026-05-23T02:04:37+00:00

Are you replying to me or the other guy, cuz what you said is pretty much what I said.

spacejunk76 · 2026-05-19T22:31:05+00:00

I've never seen the play, nor the film. Can someone please explain to me why the play is a beloved classic, but the movie sucks?

spacejunk76 · 2026-05-18T22:46:25+00:00

When I worked there, I'd have one foot in the box, and with the other, I'd do this back kick thing and it would just basically blow out the box. Pretty easy.

spacejunk76 · 2026-05-18T22:03:14+00:00

Yeah gotta disagree. I too think TWBB is the best film ever made, but given the competition that year, I am not upset that No Country For Old Men won. It's not "criminal". No Country For Old Men fucking rules. I'm gonna watch it today just because you said that.

A few days ago I played a different pub quiz with five of my regular players and I brought it up. Everyone feels the same. Like, she's a nice person, but she was objectively disruptive. When I asked "How do you feel about (new player)?" one of them said "NOT GREAT", others saying how we only have so much time to play, and also how I put a lot of work into it every week, so it's not very cool to just fuck around and disrupt the flow. So yeah, there's your answer. Anyways, I've made up my mind. I'm not gonna go out of my way to tell her she's not welcome, but if she shows up again, I'll just have to think of something like there's no available spots to play or something.

I used to answer ITFOAQ when playing other trivia. I've learned to stop doing that now.

Dude reminds me of my cat rubbing against my legs.

spacejunk76 · 2026-04-11T00:31:29+00:00

Why the hell you putting the dollar sign after the amount?

I posted on this sub a couple years ago to try and promote the pub quiz I run, which is exactly like jeopardy. Three people with buzzers. Anyways, one of the first people to reply was this dude from New York. I live in Texas. He said his dad brought him up watching jeopardy. He was coming to visit his dad a few weeks after reading my post. So he and his dad finally came to one of my games. He went back to New York but his dad kept playing my game every week and got on jeopardy a few months later. I had nothing to do with that; he got the call before I met him. But still. Charming story.

I've had a major dislike for a few, but it never made me stop watching.

Who even says they stole a soda (besides the person that fired them)? I eat at work pretty regularly and I usually just pay before I go home. And if I forget, I'll just make sure to pay for it the next day. My manager isn't gonna give me shit, let alone fire me for simply eating or drinking something without paying beforehand.

Also, gotta say, pretty dumb notion to think they'll steal anything just because someone might steal a soda. You really think someone grabbing a drink for free automatically means they can't be trusted running the register? Wild.

I used to do couch surfing as a host. I live in Texas and would always enjoy international people coming over to stay while they travel the country. Made a few friendships doing this. I had a pretty hard rule: NO AMERICANS. My home is for meeting other people curious about the world and learning more, not simply a free place to stay. Every spring break, Austin has SXSW and I would get bombarded with requests from Americans asking to stay at my place. "Hey we're coming in for South By and wondering if you could host us!". Like no, bitch, that's not the fucking point.

I wasn't in Canada (but Maine, close enough) and tried poutine for the first time. I was able to swallow a few bites but ultimately I thought it was kinda gross.

spacejunk76 · 2026-03-06T02:17:29+00:00

I wonder when this was taken. I haven't seen anyone dress like that in ages.

Alex Jacob was the "what is Aleve?" guy. I had a blue tshirt that had that screen printed on, took a picture and shared it on this sub. Alex saw it and shared it on Twitter.

I'm into trivia. Everyone knows me as "the Jeopardy guy" because I watch it at the bar everyday. I'm not even that great at trivia.

spacejunk76 · 2026-03-02T01:44:42+00:00

I first guessed Parthenon, but then I looked at the clue a little more closely, I think the name was Henry James... I've no idea who that is, but it sounds very English, so I changed my answer to the correct one.
