Tilda Swinton. The Ancient One, The White Witch, the angel Gabriel, and… maybe Alithea from Three Thousand Years of Longing if she has her Djinn wishes.

Could we say that Jim Carrey has also? Along with The Mask, Robotnik, and maybe The Riddler for good measure, he could be pretty formidable.

I have no idea on the statistics, but would consider this from the perspective of some other groups of individuals that commonly associate with each other. People with common backgrounds and experiences (actors, alcoholics, aristocrats, etc.) tend to be in each other’s company. Coupling among them doesn’t seem uncommon.

My prior understanding of the issue at hand is that the probable downside for limiting the nationwide application of some federal judge rulings is that the federal agencies have the resources to select a jurisdiction to enact rules that local judges have determined to be unconstitutional to one where local judges have not. Ex. if Feds can’t violate someone’s civil rights in New York, just move that someone to Florida where the Federal Agency can violate their civil rights.

Certainly there are scenarios in which federal judges being able to issue nationwide rulings is detrimental to left leaning causes as well (mifepristone bans), however without the supreme court first taking up the case of the constitutionality of birthright citizenship before making this current ruling on application of nationwide rulings, they’re just being a bunch of shit fuck cowards.

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.

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!

I had a buddy just out of college who had a job like this. He said the job was shit because he spent most of his time driving between different sites to extract and deliver organs. He never said much about dealing with the recently deceased, that part didn’t seem to bother him much, but traffic would set the dude off.

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.

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.

The world would be fine without Harry Potter, and better without JK Rowling.
