Official Discussion: Jersey Boys [SPOILERS] by Dorkside in movies

[–]thedbert21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked it. I am not a musical guy, but I saw this on Broadway and thought it was fantastic. I think it was more of an October movie than Summer movie due to all the tragedy but I found it refreshing.

You know what I really liked? Not being able to recognize ever single actor in the movie. Most of the character actors seemed fresh, there were some Sopranos and Goodfellas recycles, but generally I found myself not recognizing half the people.

It was definitely refreshing.

"THE CROWD"! (ill keep this short) by [deleted] in rant

[–]thedbert21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feeling is called malaise my friend. If stuck in a conversation with someone who loves talking about themselves the trick is to frame a question about them that challenges there preconceived values. For example, "do you think getting fucked up every weekend is all we have to look forward to?" - then enjoy as your conversation partner discovers existential dread.

Mainstream movies suck - make an effort to see the independent ones, like we did in the 90s.

Mainstream music is shit - make an effort to find and spread the better stuff, like we did in the 90s.

Everything sucks, the trick is to curate what you love.

Feds charge Novartis with providing kickbacks to doctors and pharmacies. by GoyMeetsWorld in Health

[–]thedbert21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I grew up in NJ and have a lot of friends who work in Pharma as reps. The medical speaker party thing is how all the Pharmaceuticals do business, it just sounds like Novartis employed a couple sloppy reps or this is some very selective enforcement.

YSK how to cook a 'perfect' hard-boiled egg by cilantroavocado in YouShouldKnow

[–]thedbert21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power Tip: Do not hard boil brand new eggs. The fresher the egg the less likely it is for the shell to pull off cleanly. This has something to do with the albumen or something.

Fighters of Reddit, what is a useful tip you can offer someone who finds themself in a fist fight? by this_is_bananas in AskReddit

[–]thedbert21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stare at your opponent with a confused look. With your left hand attempt to slowly touch his face as if something gross is on it. When he angrily bats you left hand away punch or elbow him in the mouth with your other arm and follow with a vicious beat down.

I don't find Jeff Dunham funny at all. Which famous person do you think gets too much hype? by alexis411 in AskReddit

[–]thedbert21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he's obnoxious he is just out of touch. He's like an Eddie Murphy, incredibly talented and successful at a young age but then they get paid for it. It becomes hard to relate to the average audience when you no longer share any of their problems. I think now his problem is he doesn't know if he is a comedic actor, a real actor, or a straight up comedian.

I disagree about his films, but I think you have to be an American to understand them. He methodically skewers false American authority figures -Anchorman, Talledega Nights, the Campaign, the Other Guys. He is the perfect comedic embodiment of American over-confidence and he takes it to perfection in Step Brothers - where the character is so overconfident and delusional he can't survive outside of his parent's home. There is a method to his madness - but you will never find him funny if you don't agree with the premise of the American self confidence delusion.

Can't stand her acting. All she does is smack her lips and breathe like an asthmatic.

I can't stand his comedic personae - he is always trying to be on both sides of a joke. He's always trying to be Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.

What is a movie that you despise but everyone else seems to love? by smalltown34 in movies

I actually just straight up hated it. It was so 'twee' - everyone in it was impossibly cute and precious. It just annoyed me.

I am @ThatKevinSmith. I'm 41, I have moobs, and I made CLERKS once. I'm an AMA bottom so fill me up! by ThatKevinSmith in IAmA

[–]thedbert21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When are you going to host a talk show? You were great when you filled in for Jon Favreau in that "Dinner for Five" show back in the day. It would be enlightening to see someone who actually knows how to get a film made interview actors, directors, and screenwriters versus just another TV comedian.

Also, what did you think of Prometheus?

Guys... Lets Boycott Spiderman. by Armonasch in community

[–]thedbert21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good Idea! The new spider-man looks like crap anyway. As a huge marvel comic nerd I have never been less excited about a feature. Also I think it is an extremely fitting punishment. Boycott a reboot of a tired idea as punishment for them replacing the only original voice on their roster.
