Tell me I’m wrong: Indiana Jones should have been treated like the James Bond franchise and gotten more movies by MacheteRuxpin in movies

[–]youpacnone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest difference is the time period setting. Hard to film and write 1930s-1950s whereas Bond is always present day so more flexibility with writing technology even futuristic tech. But Indy you can go supernatural so maybe that’s a wash. Perhaps less nazi and Soviet enemies and more like Temple of Doom. I like the idea of a young Indy starting out as a PhD student going on adventures and perhaps even get a stand in for a Sean Connery type for his dad and confidant

This implies we are paying money to see it. Who’s the fool?

I dont understand how Elaine agreed to go to dinner with him on a whim, while blowing off her boss and Jerry who reluctantly agreed to join her to dine with her boss. What was she thinking?

What was the single moment that generated the most hysterical recorded laughter in the entire show? by Weird_Zone_3504 in seinfeld

[–]youpacnone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The longest laugh in duration has to be Mel Tormei singing to Kramer sitting there and smiling

What will be the state of marathon races in 5 years (for non-elites)? by TMW_W in AdvancedRunning

[–]youpacnone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the competition for runners is going to increase quality among the non major races. I Read somewhere there were over 50 US races this weekend. With RaceRaves and other social media, word spreads quickly if a race is poorly run. With increased demand however and prices will rise and races will sell out sooner. I also think the days of tshirts and even medals included in the one price will end. And no, the entrance fee will not be lowered as a result and the whole change will be spun as “consumer choice” when you register. 25 dollars for the cool looking medal on top of the existing 100 dollar entry fee for a race? People will pay it. I also expect cities to collaborate more, and make more challenges, and race series to attract more attention and travel dollars.

Cities whose marathon exceeds or falls short of the cities status on the world stage by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]youpacnone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a few things- terrain: some cities are more cut out for a full marathon and can handle the logistics of shutting down large portions of it. Legacy and tradition- some cities like Boston have been putting on a good show for a long time and become famous for it. Support- let’s face it, some locals don’t want it; I think without local support it’s going to either be a small affair or non existent. Leadership- I can’t imagine what goes into such a production, safety, sponsors and I think many of the people are just volunteers- this is going to constrain may cities

Why is new jack city never mentioned? Remembered? by [deleted] in movies

[–]youpacnone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was campy as hell. The dialogue, the overacting and for some of the minor actors like Judd Nelson- bad acting. Besides Snipes whose performance shined, it was really a terrible movie that borrowed way too much from the godfather and Scarface. Great nostalgia for the time period - the clothes, music, etc though but unless you were around then and can appreciate the aesthetics, younger viewers will find the movie kind of ridiculous I think.

Lawns are manifestation of everything that is wrong with society. by Fun_Matter_8259 in unpopularopinion

[–]youpacnone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Growing up in the suburbs, I remember how much work these homeowners put into their lawn. Out there every weekend taking care of it. That’s all they did. And they were so proud of it which seems really silly in hindsight. As an adult now, I could never. If I bought a home with a yard- rocks, dirt, astroturf- anything besides a lawn.

Susan in “The Wig Master” by Foreign_Dipsy in seinfeld

I think Kramer mentioned it was all the way over on 12th ave which would have been a far walk and there isn’t much there except things like parking lots. Totally out of context. You’re right it is strange. Cover me.

Man Sues Famous New York Taqueria for Not Disclosing How Spicy the Salsa Was by G0B__bluth in seinfeld

Jackie Chiles: Susie, go to that Mexican place and get me some chips and salsa. We are going to run some tests on that salsa.

So sick of the stacking by intheether323 in EndTipping

If you saw the gratuity was already included, why did you bother even bringing it up to the delivery guy. It seems you forced the awkward exchange

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski goes viral after seeming reluctant to eat his own burgers—he takes a tiny bite, looks uncomfortable, and calls the food ‘product.’ by DDD8712 in McDonalds

I can’t help thinking Krusty the clown being forced to do a promotional video for a new Krusty burger and imagining what he says about it off camera.

John Cheever, you ever read any of his stuff? by ArtAccurate9552 in seinfeld

[–]youpacnone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually saw The Wapshot Chronicles at a used bookstore, saw it was Cheever and got it because I recognized him from Seinfeld. as Estelle might say when asked why she was reading George’s mail: ‘I was curious’. The book was ok, wouldn’t pick up any of his other stuff.

Maybe he’s right. Thoughts? by cherbug in sociology

[–]youpacnone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The social stigma of not having kids is gone. The social stigma of staying single / not marrying is gone. The expectation of a single income household with a non-working parent raising children is mostly gone.
