Reply to I got three pizza savers on one pizza by MinnesotaMTB
Those are used to keep the box lid from pressing on the cheese. If one pizza is on top of the other, one little table is fine.
Likely your pizza was the bottom of a fairly large stack of pizzas, requiring multiple little tables to support the weight

Reply to comment by MasterVahGilns in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) NO SPOILER review by Chepuf
I saw the first, dont remember any of it. Didn't need to. Don't need to watch any of the Shrek movies either. This movie stands in boots on its own

Reply to TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
I really only know Hoskins from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but I keep hearing stories about him and think I should look up his larger filmography

Real Steel with Hugh Jackman was a Rock em Sock em Robots
Speed Racer was more of a Hot Wheels movie than it was a Speed Racer movie

Reply to comment by HarrySanderson in Olivia Pichardo is the first woman to make the roster of Division I baseball team by AmethystOrator
On average yes, but averages don't mean much to the individual. I'm not automatically better than a female baseball player because I'm a man. She can throw farther, run faster, and hit harder than I can, even though she's a woman.
She may be so good, that she is better than the worst player on the team. If that's the case, than She deserves to be on the roster more than that guy, regardless of gender. I'm not saying the teams need to be 50/50 male/female, just to have the best players possible, regardless of gender.

Reply to DC selected to host WorldPride 2025, billed as largest LGBTQ+ event in the world by citytiger
I in no way want Trump, DeSantis, or Cruz to win 2024. However the idea of the world's largest Pride Party happening right outside their window does amuse me

Out of context the basement scenes in War of the World's was pretty well done. The movie as a whole was just ok, but that scene was Spielbergs bread and butter

Reply to What movie you saw has the longest length? by -Rhialto-
O.J. Made in America is a 467 minute long documentary and the longest film to win an oscar (best Documentary feature). It was re-edited and shown on tv as a miniseries. If that counts.
Aside from that, Once Upon a Time In America (229), Lawrence of Arabia (216), Ben Hur (212), The Irishman (209), Apocalypse Now (202). A few other classic 200+ movies that I haven't seen yet
I've binged the whole Lord of the Rings expanded editions. Combined its around 715 minutes
