That vision ability to see people’s names from Death Note would be helpful for avoiding those awkward social interactions where someone is talking to me but I’ve completely forgotten who they are.

A fedora with safari flaps in the back.

Naqoyqatsi was the first thing that popped into my head from the prompt, though I’m not sure if these would be classified as “movies” by some audiences. Cheers.

I also don’t understand how anyone could possibly not be a massive disappointment to their family without my patented Solutionbot 3600 that you can also take advantage of for just $$/month forever.

Money please!

One of the details that I spotted was that the images in the article show the FLIR logo, which is a type of equipment that one would use to view methane plumes, and was used to dramatic effect during the Aliso Canyon gas storage field leaks. That may not be a convincing detail on its own, but one that I thought suggested some credibility.

The honesty and realism that they wrote into the scene where that dude was trying to find a way to climb down from the roof of that gazebo was moving and inspiring.

Danny Trejo has a pretty interesting story starting off with drug addiction and criminal record, and got into acting when he showed up as a sponsor for a fellow cocain recovery addict on a movie set. They saw Trejo and cast him as an extra.

The last episode of season 1 of Bojack still draws a few tears. I remember going into that last scene expecting him to cause some shit and have a big showdown with Diane… but then he just quietly asks for some acknowledgement that he can be good. I think it was the unexpected delivery, but also now how that dialog keeps getting set to lofi contemplative music on youtube that continues to make it feel heartbreaking. The latter is my own fault for clicking shit though.

I didn’t see that skit.

Adding Louis CK to the list. I used to like his shows, and genuinely found the writing and his takes to be thoughtful and helpful. Finding out he was gross and shitty the whole time sucked.

Maybe their hoods are in the laundry.

Screenshoting this thread to burn it onto a disc later.

I can’t remember which movie, but some basic rom-com. Girl was in a fight with her ex and trying to make him feel bad said, “I gave you the best years of my life.”

And dude, utterly confused, responds, “those were your best?”

The movie was forgettable, but that absolutely savage line stuck with me.

In college, my roommate decided to make jello shots in these little shot glasses we had. He and his buddies finished them off and stacked the empty glasses in the room. Ass of a roommate refused to clean them out, so they sat for a little more than a week, at which point I was sick of them enough to clean them myself.

The jello had crystallized around the rim of the glasses, cementing them together, and as I twisted a couple of them apart the crystallized jello sliced into my hand.

My wife still taunts me sometimes for getting cut by jello.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists, we take the first thing they offer and then give them treats.

How about Winamp?
