The remake with Dinklage and Elijah Wood, I haven’t seen the first one

I wanted to see The Assessment but missed it in theaters. It seemed comparable to The Lobster to me, is that accurate?

The Hunt for the Red October 4.5/5: Didn’t realize this was technically an early Jack Ryan movie. This is just perfect cold war espionage drama. The twists and turns keep you hooked and it feels well paced at 2:15

The Roses 4/5: I’ve been bombarded by this ad in theaters but the movie was good. I enjoyed how I was laughing at totally different jokes than the 2 older women behind me. Maybe not worth seeing in theaters but worth a watch

The Breakfast Club 4/5: It’s a classic for a reason. The kids talking about if they’ll still be friends is just so heartbreakingly real

The Toxic Avenger 3.5/5: I am entirely unfamiliar with the source material, both comics and movies. However I found this funny, the satire was criticizing the right stuff and it was fun to watch

Twinless 4.5/5: I really didn’t know anything about this going in. I thought it might possibly be a horror movie but it is not at all. The premise of a twin support group is really cool and the movie adds a lot of layers on top. It’s ambitious to write, star, and direct your own movie but I can’t argue with success

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift 3.5/5: By far the peak of the series, which is an indictment considering there are 8 movies that follow it. The music rocks, the cars are so fucking cool, and it’s still largely practical effects while being partially grounded in reality (nobody drives a car in space)

Look, people showing cleavage are aware it’s going to draw attention. In the same way women know if they put words on their tits you’re going to read them. There’s a difference between noticing something and staring right at it

The Macarena I’d about a woman cheating on her BF getting drafted into the military with 2 other guys

Which is pretty intense for a song they taught to kids in grade school

Your mom has been posting a lot more on Instagram recently

Imagine being the woman who drags herself in there, still mostly asleep, orders her coffee, gets it free?, drinks it, goes outside and sees this

That’d be pretty fucking gross

Software Engineers hate stand-up

It was, I got laid plenty in college. I meant I would get a woman’s number, text her, then she would give 2/3 responses and disappear. It stopped almost entirely when I switched to asking for Snapchat instead

Oh, OKC used to rock a decade ago. Before they started the monitization efforts they had over a thousand questions that you could pre-sort matches based off of their importance to both of you. There wasn’t swiping, you just actually looked at profiles. It really rewarded writing good profiles which I happen to do well

You probably don’t interact with a lot of teens then. It’s pretty common in high schools and college campuses. I was told a decade ago that my green bubbles were probably why women stopped texting me after I got their number off okcupid

I remember it being a rat unless we’re discussing different parts but that’s just the reality of what you were able to get away with in 2000s media. The movie would have been NC-17 if all of the violence from the book made it in

I mean, no? It would defeat the point of the story. The monoculture of white men destroying everything around them was what Brett Easton Ellis was talking about and making clowns would have made that a different story

If anything he made Chani less of rug to be walked all over and gave her a personality outside of “wife to the messiah”. If you were going to bitch about anyone in the Dune movies I’d think it’d be The Lady Jessica because she is an entirely different character in the movies. I don’t think that’s a criticism because she serves the plot well, but that one is a more grounded argument

I’m a little surprised at that response because American Psycho is one of the most true to the source material movies I’ve ever seen. Whole passages were lifted and turned directly into dialog. Sure all of those white men were supposed to be corporate clones in the books but in a movie characters have to be visually distinct that’s just the nature of the mediums

It’d be more helpful if OP was responding but I’d have to imagine if they object to the quality of US sausages then they’d similarly object to US ground pork for the same reason

I think the US infrastructure leads to a confirmation bias. There probably aren’t that many people who are actually “bad” drivers out there. The majority of people aren’t getting tickets, damaging their car, or hurting people most of the time when they drive. Our culture being so car centric however means that the actually bad drivers don’t have a choice but to be on the road. Bad driving also calls a lot of attention to itself because it’s dangerous. So when you drive you frequently see bad driving when realistically most people are just fine drivers, leading to you thinking more people are bad, and thus you must be better

That and American exceptionalism probably

I’m at a little bit of a loss if you want something easy, but also high quality. You can always go to the butcher counter or butcher shop and get their italian sausage, it usually has less fillers and preservatives than the mass market tube stuff. You can go vegetarian and fry up some tofu cubes in olive oil, oregono, parsley, thyme, garlic and maybe a little panko for a crunch. You could also do some large mushroom like a portebella and score it. Then more olive oil and salt. You might be able to find decent quality frozen meatballs in the freezer section or at a local farmers market. I suppose seafood wise shrimp or clams could work too here

I blame Don Quixote personally

I feel like the whole Gabriel thing really distracts from the plot. I compare it to the Illusive Man in Mass Effect. Why did you add a side antagonist when your primary antagonist is threatening total extinction? Were the stakes not high enough? Did you need a human face for your threat? I don’t understand what this smug asshole adds to the story besides being someone we can be happy that they exploded
