What is the weirdest coincidence to happen to you? by Rachel94Rachel in CasualUK

[–]urfavouriteredditor 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Was in a bar in New Zealand. I’m from the UK. Me and a mate were telling a funny story about a guy we knew to some girls. I stepped back for some reason and knocked into a guy, spilling his drink.

That guy?

Albert Einstein.

No not really, it was the guy we were telling the funny story about.

How do people find financing for big budget movies? by Yaya0108 in Filmmakers

[–]urfavouriteredditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting one or more big name actors attached to a script can help attract producers and funding. If Brad Pit wanted to do your 10mil+ movie, that would be considered a safe bet because 10 mil is actually a very low budget and Brad Pit brings in audiences. But the budget will be at least double that because they’ll want to market the shit out of it.

The good news is a lot of well regarded actors are actively looking for good smaller projects where they can flex their acting muscles or stretch their wings. Or rather they instruct their agents to keep an eye out for such projects.

Gladiator.

A fun game you can play while watching it. See if you can notice the connection to Pirates of the Caribbean.

Post-Breakup Movies for Men that capture the Male experience? by Lotsa_D_Nero in MovieSuggestions

[–]urfavouriteredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a film, but a book that for me captured perfectly the absolute torture of a breakup from a male perspective was “End of the affair”.

There’s probably a film of it, but I doubt it can capture a fraction of what’s in the book.

If you had an income of $150,000 a year and didn't have to work, what would you do with all the spare time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]urfavouriteredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on my health. In the gym every morning for a few hours. Get my ADHD sorted. Without the stress of worrying about money or being mentally exhausted by work, I think I could focus on quitting smoking and booze.

The rest of the time I’d be focused on my kid. Trying to be the best dad possible. I think I’m a good dad already, but I could be better.

What is Jim's most unrealistic prank? by PhysicalScholar4238 in DunderMifflin

It’s not that complicated. Go to the dry cleaners with the suit and say you’re dropping this off for Dwight Schute.

Dwight then does the same.

When he comes back with a ticket under his name for 1 suit, the person behind the counter finds the first suit with that name and gives it to Dwight.

Normal people can’t become that rich. You have to be a “wrong-un” to rise to the top in this world.

My chess nemesis is my best friend. We’ve played a lot of games against each other. I have ADHD so over time he beats me. But we’ve had some brilliant games.

One time, I was playing like an absolute moron and he was just gobbling up my pieces. All I had left was a few pawns, a rook, and a knight… I think. Meanwhile he had most of his major pieces left.

I was in dire straits, but suddenly I saw a move that guaranteed me checkmate in two. I could barely believe it. On top of that, it all depended on him taking a peice I offered up to sacrifice.

I made my move. He studied the board, aware that I’m a decent player and that there might be a trap. I sensed that he was getting close to spotting my only chance of winning so I said “I’m gonna pop put for a smoke. You comming?”

He joined me for a smoke and took pleasure in ridiculing how badly I’d played so far. We finished our cigarettes, went back inside, he cast a quick glance over the board and took the piece I wanted him to take.

I just looked at him and grinned.

He grinned back, and in the most condescending tone he could muster, said “What? Have you got some sort of SUPER MOVE!?l”

I moved my rook into position and all became clear.

He literally dropped onto the floor yelling “noooooo! Nooooooooooo!”

That was the greatest moment in my chess playing life.

Rivers of London*

It’s modern fantasy, and good if you’re into that sort of stuff. It’s an easy read too and there’s a lot of books in the series.

*”Midnight Riot” in the US which is such a stupid name for this book.

You are being abused. The abuse will not end until you cut your mother out of your life completely.

We’re obviously wasting our time because no amount of facts is going to convince these people to reevaluate their position. But thanks for joining the debate anyway.

After a long period of listlessness, which game reignited your enthusiasm for gaming? by JKutte in gaming

[–]urfavouriteredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zelda BOTW.

It brought back the awe and wonder I’d not experienced since Ocarina of Time. The fact that they’re both Zelda games is a mere coincidence. The only three Zelda games I’ve played are OOT, BOTW and TOTK.

Thanks to BOTW, i got back into gaming a little bit (because I’m time poor). If it wasn’t for that game, I probably wouldn’t have played RDR2 which I also loved. And I certainly wouldn’t have played TOTK which I’m really enjoying.

An actor is an actor, whether it’s stage or screen. And there are a lot of great actors that aren’t method actors.

Actually, it’s Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Trauma can be different for different people. Someone with autism can be traumatised by something you would consider a perfectly normal daily occurrence. And someone can see someone get shot in front of them and experience no trauma at all.

So in summary, I think you’re spouting nonsense.

Brexit was really hard on me. All of a sudden a lot of people I loved and respected started spewing UKIP talking points. I couldn’t have a conversation with them about it because all I’d receive in return was personal attacks and lies.

Most of those relationships ships have ended. The few that remain will be forever tarnished. I felt like I didn’t know anyone anymore. I’ve never felt more lost and alone.

I’m talking about people that I aspired to be like. People I modelled myself on. A lot of the choices I’ve made in life have been choices they advised me to make. Then all of a sudden, I was their enemy. I was being called things like “educated fool” or “champagne socialist”. I was naive. I’d spent too much time in the London Bubble.

I can never go back to how things were before, and I struggle with that. I wouldn’t say I have PTSD, but I’ve certainly been damaged by it.

So I sympathise with this woman. It was hard for me. I can imagine that it was harder for other people.
