I’m so dumbfounded I don’t know how to respond.

You better learn how to hunt and fish since you're not going to be able to get a job.

>The monster was rubbish. Why did it hide in a cloud? What was it? Wheredid it come from? What did it want? It wasn't explained, and it wasn'tshown how it ate those people at the show. The film doesn't want to showthe most interesting parts of the film.

​

It doesn't matter because it's 1) not the point of the film, and 2) a metaphor.

You don't want fresh beer info?

I've got to launch off the ground somehow, bud.

I saw the title of this post and laughed out loud. My parents just arrived in town today. I'm with my mom in my kitchen and I'm like "where's dad?" I go to check out what he's watching and I'm watching just a room full of Koreans dangling from these bars, holding on for dear life so they don't drop into the water. I walk by later and some farmer is getting choked the eff out while they wrestle for a ball. And my dad was just eyes locked onto it. I made so many fly bys of the TV that I was just like "fuck it I'm going to my office to watch this on my PC."

Sure everyone has to practice, but not all people have the potential to improve equally.

>In a study published in PLoS ONE earlier this year, researchers from the University of Helsinki assessed people's musical creativity based on their ability to judge pitch and time as well as skills such as composing, improvisation and arranging. They found that the presence of one particular cluster of genes correlated with musical creativity. Crucially, this cluster belongs to a gene family known to be involved in the plasticity of the brain: its ability to reorganise itself by breaking and forming new connections between cells.

>​ “Being artistic or creative is associated with the personality trait of being open to experiences,” Garrison says. “Some research suggests that there are neurobiological foundations for creative individuals. Based on all available information, it is very likely that the capacity for creativity is shaped by genetic influences –– it’s a complicated way of saying that creativity and artistic interests can almost certainly be inherited.”

No matter how much you practiced, you would never be as good a swimmer as Michael Phelps or as good a basketball player as Michael Jordan. You would never be as quick a thinker as Stephen Hawking. There are fundamental biological differences that orient people toward being naturally better at some things than others that if given equal practice, the person with the natural gifts will excel more in. That isn't a bad thing, it is the crux of humanity to have different people of different talents that should motivate people to rely and build together.

Oh no someone didn’t like something on the internet. Anyway…

He owned the 90s. You were always wondering what Tom Hanks would make next.

I have to rewatch this film. I've gotten older and take a lot more joy in trying to interpret what a director was going for.

Just rewatched the final scene. He literally ends the film at a crossroads?! A literal crossroads! And the road the girl travels is the unpaved one that's less traveled. Gods. Did I just not think about this stuff when I was younger?

It's not a surprise. It's a clickable headline from a secondary source. The original article title is "Psychopathy among condemned capital murderers."

This is the type of retrospective I want. No more of this "forgotten gem Fargo still relevant today." I want stories about Nukie.

With that said... I'm not sure that trailer 'music' actually qualifies as music so much as a hodgepodge of sounds strung together.

Is it me or are there more “Critically acclaimed and widely beloved show is actually flawed/overrated/not good” type posts?

No exaggeration; it was not just the best show I watched in 2022; it was one of the top five shows I've ever watched. I've rarely been on the edge of my seat as I was during the season finale. And this was for a show that typically kept a rather casual pace, for the most part. It's just that it was so good at planting tidbits and pieces along the way that it kept driving you to want to know more. As you noted, the performances are excellent. The cinematography is great and often off putting. The music switches from weird and subtle, and then you have explosions of jazz that just make it even weirder. It all comes together into such a unique package that I was completely taken by it. I screamed when the finale came to a finish. That final moment? Screamed. I've introduced it to all my friends and all of them love it.

Virtual boy was trying to do things we just didn’t have the tech for yet. I had that thing it weighed about 20 pounds. They said you could lie down and use it instead of playing it on top of a desk but that never really worked.

Hmm saw the score on my way out of the gym and thought I was mistaken. Guess not.

Someone who wants to convince you to wear a muzzle.

Willow's great. You leave that show alone.

Oh yeah. Dollar General basically has like, 30% errors on it’s listed prices or something. It’s a major legal violation against consumers.

She’s been playing?

It’s too early for this type of article.

The least flattering thumbnail possible.

Man. Winter Soldier is still my favorite MCU movie.

I think Matt has broken ribs through all three seasons lol.
