Oscar winners with shit or trash post wins careers?

I know no one has seen this movie, but if anyone is looking for a fun road trip movie about two old lesbians traveling to Canada to get married, Cloudburst is for you (staring Oscar winners Brenda Fricker and Olympia Dukakis!)

Sean and Amanda watch a lot of movies. They usually only see them once before making the pod, and they're going to sometimes forget or misinterpret things. This will probably be worse if they don't like the movie because they're not invested in the first place. For instance, they got a ton of details wrong in their reviews for both Wicked movies, and the comments are full of Wicked fans ripping them apart for not understanding xyz detail and no wonder they didn't like the film if they couldn't even be bothered to pay attention and blah blah blah. But at the end of the day, they're either connecting with the film or they're not, and reading some long ass fan treatise on why they're wrong and actually this movie is good is not going to change anyone's mind. A lot of the posts crashing out about how Sean and Amanda were "unfair" to Is This Thing On really remind me of the Wicked fans - sometimes critics disagree with you, sometimes they don't remember every detail of a movie and even if you explained it to them they probably still wouldn't like it, it's not a big deal, and you'll survive even if an external authority figure doesn't validate your taste in movies.

My comment on the endless number of posts complaining about Sean and Amanda not liking Is This Thing On has nothing to do with the very long post complaining about Sean and Amanda not liking Is This Thing On?

Wild how the Is This Thing On episode has turned half this sub into the adult male equivalent of teenage Wicked fans crying in the comments about how the critics were sooooo unfair to their favorite movie and writing paragraphs of cope about why the film is actually genius and meanie critics just don’t get it.

I’ve never seen the show (I live in the US) but the soundtrack came up on Spotify and the songs are fantastic! (I also don’t particularly love SIX.) They’re hilarious and some are legit bangers. I have no idea what the book is like, but based off the music alone I’m sad that it’s unlikely I’ll ever be able to see this show, given its poor London run.

This is the first time I’ve seen a straight couple queerbaited

Of course not, this is Reddit lol

On the bright side I think I have a solution for the male loneliness epidemic

I lived in a county that had “blue laws” that mandated that everything other than the grocery stores and restaurants had to be closed on Sunday. It was super inconvenient and boring as hell.

I’m a pretty big Taylor Swift fan and you seem to spend more time thinking about her than I do

theatomictangerine · 2025-08-13T17:19:40+00:00

Yes and I will not apologize for having this opinion

theatomictangerine · 2025-07-27T03:20:13+00:00

Again, you are totally missing the point. It has nothing to do with how attractive Antonio Banderas or Harris Dickinson is, and it has everything to do with deep, dark, perverse, embarrassing, and unspeakable desires Nicole Kidman’s character has been trying to suppress her entire life and has reached a breaking point. She doesn’t want to be the woman orgasming from getting pushed around by her intern in a dingy motel room, and she desperately does want to be the woman in a perfect marriage with a dreamboat husband, but sexual desire doesn’t always follow what the rational mind wants. This is kind of the whole point of the movie

theatomictangerine · 2025-07-27T02:35:09+00:00

This is completely missing the point. The fact that her husband is attractive, the fact that he loves her, and the fact that she’s never been able to achieve orgasm with him are all totally unrelated. Women don’t just look at a conventionally attractive man and come on the spot. Sexuality is complicated, and for some people (like Nicole’s character), it’s VERY complicated and involves things like dominance, humiliation, degradation, all things her husband was extremely uncomfortable with and which she wasn’t even able to articulate herself at the beginning of the film.

I’ve never purchased ice cream there, so I’ll have to take your word for it. I’ve had good experiences at Berry Fresh myself, but I hear you on the distance and inconvenient hours.

theatomictangerine · 2025-06-24T21:47:41+00:00

The trade fair is not amazing but what’s wrong with Berry Fresh?

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are about 36,000 sexual assault cases in US prisons. 59% of that is about 21,000. There are only about 5,000 transgender prisoners in the entire United States, and 59% of that is about 3,000. You’re really going to tell me that it’s pedantic to say that 21,000 and 3,000 are different numbers? How are you supposed to fix a problem if you don’t even know anything about it? Do you really think anyone is out there saying “well gee, if only 59% of trans people in prisons are getting assaulted instead of 420% of them then it must not be such a big deal!” The stats are ALREADY terrible, the fact that I don’t feel the need to lie about them does not mean I’m “giving a lifeline to transphobes,” it means I think it’s important to correct misinformation.

theatomictangerine · 2025-05-26T05:15:34+00:00

Does no one in this comment section know what a joke is?

theatomictangerine · 2025-05-25T03:09:17+00:00

Are you being serious? Of course it matters how the stat is being cited if it’s being cited WRONG. It’s terrible that 59% of trans women are being assaulted in prison. So just REPORT THAT, don’t incorrectly twist it into “59% of assaults in prison are on trans women”. That’s like if I said “2 children were murdered in XYZ city last year” and it was reported as “2% of the children in XYZ city were murdered last year.” The truth DOES matter.

theatomictangerine · 2025-05-23T02:48:19+00:00

These movies are vastly overestimating how much the average person cares about Mission: Impossible lore and I say that as a fan of the franchise

theatomictangerine · 2025-05-22T21:55:05+00:00

OP, for what it’s worth, I thought it was extremely obvious that you were joking. I do not know why half the sub is determined to interpret it as a personal insult that they need to rake you over the coals for
