  • Box Office: 'Devil Wears Prada 2' To Stun With $180M Global Opening

    Jump

  • Is this projections or the betting market?

    I never saw the original movie but it was on HBO and watched it with my wife the other day.

    It surprised me, much better than I expected, and it held my interest throughout.

    They did that by opening the movie with terrible characatures that the second act fleshes out into people you can relate to, even when they're being terrible.

  • The whole furry thing is stupid

    Jump

  • The only furry I've known is also trans, fwiw.

    I mostly agree with you that I do not get the subcultures at fucking all, only to know that they are distinct. I don't think most furries actually think that they are actually spiritually that animal in any way. Thats otherkin; you're conflating two weird subcultures.

    So the otherkin folk are really weird to me, but I dunno that they are clinically weird unless they truly believe their own shit.

    Furries who like to get into suits and party, hey, do your thing, and sorry the real perverts make your existence harder. I don't wanna yuck anyone else's yum, just keep them at arms length.

    I barely have enough spare cash for my hobbies. I can't afford fursuits even if I wanted them. It's weird! (Just mostly harmlessly so.)

  • I do love that it's set in Bikini Bottom.

    We nuked the hell out of the Bikini Islands for nuclear tests.

    SpongeBob and his friends are all mutants.

    Jump

  • I actually saw a minute or two of SpongeBob and was surprised/annoyed they didn't seem to be moving underwater.

    I think I expected the show to be more sophisticated in a useless way.

    Jump

  • Oh I definitely got the genetic reference already, just wanted to know if I was reading it appropriately as a laugh.

    Jump

  • Never having watched SpongeBob, I hear Popeye laughing and think that's the joke. Am I right?

  • I died

    Jump

  • Oof. I hope there is at least a great story.

  • How do you know you’ve grown up?

    Jump

  • But you may get moments where you realize you are a very different person and start to mature or develop more deliberately.

    To reply more to the OP, settling into a routine is definitely not the same thing as growing up, although they can happen at the same time.

    Routines are fine but also limiting, and maybe that's what you're feeling. Breaking out of routines tends to lead to growth and change, but at a cost.

  • Imperial Oil pipeline spills 843,000 litres northwest of Cold Lake, Alta.

    Jump

  • With oil, barrels is the normal unit of measure. Changing that makes it more difficult to compare to other oil spills.

  • Imperial Oil pipeline spills 843,000 litres northwest of Cold Lake, Alta.

    Jump

  • Equivalent to about 5,302 barrels of oil. Did the conversion because I had no idea. Bad headline.

  • What movie did people miss the point of the most?

    Jump

  • Good but not great. They dump the battlesuits entirely. For budget reasons this makes sense at the time but that investment in equipment (and to a lesser extent the soldiers within) shows the cost of space travel and how we are spending insane amounts to kill space bugs that are on most worlds.

    But they, in turn, use the infantry rush of unarmored soliders pretty well to show the cost of war.

    The use of propaganda in the media mirrors the indoctrination well enough. It keeps the audience from completely getting on board with the propaganda since it's so on the nose. (Some will still swallow it, the same way some people saw The Boondock Saints as an awesome hero flick rather than an over-the-top action comedy.)

  • What movie did people miss the point of the most?

    Jump

  • The book is fine. The opening pages tell us clearly that we are nuking bugs on planets with intelligent beings, using all the ammo (because it's too expensive to return with nukes) and leaving for another planet with bugs.

    After that we jump to our protagonist, who is being brainwashed in high school.

    Finally, Heinlein was writing his father's worldview and wanted to take it to its logical end.

    I love that book and movie.

  • What movie did people miss the point of the most?

    Jump

  • There's a theory that the main character actually is suffering from cancer and that the love interest is also a lens for him to confront who he really is.

    Fascinating how that upends it all, but I am not sure I believe it.

  • Chuck Norris was a shitty guy and I'm tired of pretending he's not

    Jump

  • He did engage, by saying that the only superhero is Jesus, which did indeed kill the humor.

  • ‘It’s amazing’: stolen 2,500-year-old Romanian gold helmet has been found

    Jump

  • It'd be even more amazing if the original owner was still around and then it was stolen.

  • SCP was kinda my entrypoint into creepypasta, so I appreciate the clarification. Wouldn't have known there was a prior inspiration to it.

  • What are your best saved reaction memes?

    Jump

  • I'm a Community superfan. Still waiting on the movie.

  • Ryan Gosling says soap opera stars don’t get the recognition they deserve and credits Deidre Hall’s possession by the Devil on ‘Days of Our Lives’ as one of his first acting inspirations

    Jump

  • I think his point isn't that the shows are great but that the actors are in a show that airs five hours a week, and there isn't really anywhere else in tv to get that amount of time working and developing your skills anymore.

    Some people are both anal retentive and full of shit. And it isn't just funny, it's been scientifically demonstrated.
