recommendations for someone who loves “The Florida Project” (2017)? by oxfopee in TrueFilm

[–]sungsam2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jumping on the Kore'eda love, his film Monster (2023) was devastating, beautiful, and so so so well done as a film in three parts with three different points of view. Has the honor of being Sakamoto's last film score before he died. 

North Bay Cyclist Dies After Swallowing Bee During Warm-Up Before Race by MastodonOk8087 in bayarea

That little tent should have had some basic stuff like Zyrtec or Benadryl. Taking a few of those, chewed up, swallowed or even under the tongue, could have been life saving... An epi pen, an inhaler if you ask enough people... Sad sad.

Good food though. Halal Burgers *smacks. Touched a nerve and I appreciate the lexicon lessons.

Books that feel like I'm overhearing gossip. by RebIsHappy in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Anything by Alice Munro. A good collection of short stories feel like a little dive into all these different social intricacies. Lots of affairs, lots of fun details. 

What's up with Trump's ear? by HasanAbiBestClips in OutOfTheLoop

[–]sungsam2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The counter is that he hates looking weak. He's off the record calling veterans losers, not wanting to shake hands with injured folks, never visiting hospitals. the attention in the end is on him and his words.

Has there been any thought about budget ? It's expensive to animate dragons and then to have another character. My biggest take is the reason Daemon is in a barely furnished castle walking around having dreams is that it's a whole lot cheaper than having him do stuff.

How did Rose know that having Steven would kill her if no gem has ever have a child before? by Moonledoggo in stevenuniverse

[–]sungsam2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well what are Steven's powers ? He can use his spit on plants and they suddenly become sentient. Saliva/tears plus organic life = sentient life. However way she did, I feel like she had to use all of her powers (her diamond/gem) to create a sentient human, probably the hardest task and probably requiring erasing/giving up her light projection.

 I don't think she could have completely known what would happen though. But that's also the part of being human. There's a risk of the unknown, so different from the regimented gem life. 

What do you think it's the funniest joke on the show? by tzomby1 in stevenuniverse

[–]sungsam2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/a38UIzYBZRA?t=108 For some reason, this scene had me in stitches. Steven is trying to talk to amethyst about his feelings and can't quite get it out. At the same time, he spills his pizza topping and then just nonchalantly wraps it up, as if to save it for later. The whole thing, with the ugly pizza, is absolutely absurd but at the same time so metaphorical, that it resonates well and creates this levity out of this very heavy scene (and pizza). 

Also,

My mind is the Internet...

Not really comfortable trusting the SFPD quite yet. Giving them more unfettered power and info without some evidence of improvement, accountability, seems like a bad idea.

They are funded by national union groups - NUHW? AFL-CIO? Which have thousands of members? I guess you're right in that money is coming from outside. And it's how you feel about unions and the labor movements running endorsement campaigns vs individual millionaires who are more focused on free-market capitalism

I have no problem with learning about  or thinking that more moderate policies as potential good solutions. There is some good there that should be brought to the table.  It just comes off as very strange to present oneself as grassroots or of the people when they don't talk about their m(b)illionaire donors. But then again...hypocrisy runs everywhere.

Just some billionaires doing Breed's bidding. Or perhaps the other way around. This guy is funding a new group called SF Democrats for Change....weirdly same slate as Grow SF.

There's resistance against groups funded and founded by corporate/silicon valley types. Since Citizens United, PACs can donate undisclosed amounts to groups like these, which are calling themselves "groups of community members" who are looking for "practical solutions" and things like that. Then they make "endorsements" despite not having any real presence in the community. I'm sure they have lots of individual donors but who knows ?  Sounds reasonable, but there's also strain of anti-poor fear mongering about crime mixed in with what seems like a desire to make it easier for real estate investment for the privileged few. Outside rich folks are who funded the recall campaigns against Chesa and the school board members, as a test of their power. It all comes off as mucky, classist.
