  • 'Stranger Things' Was a Casualty of the Franchise Machine

    Jump

  • This makes the “content factory” accusation super confusing. What content? Like or hate the result, they’re taking their time developing the show, and aren’t branching off into a dozen spinoffs like I’d expect a “casualty of the franchise machine” to do.

  • sometimes we get lost in the sauce

  • Any skepticism here falls downstream of the initial failure to credit that woman’s contribution. Accepting the reduction of a contributor’s identity to “a mother” would be more misogynistic than the responses I’m seeing.

  • Wait until you’ve been to a restaurant that serves things flambé.

  • Op doesn't have time for interviews

    Jump

  • Agreed, it presents as an abstract logic puzzle, but then gives a very concrete answer. It’s like presenting the trolly problem to someone, and when they give one of the two expected answers saying “no, stupid, you run ahead and untie the victims before the trolly reaches them.”

    It’s compounded by the fact that the proposed physical solution isn’t even very reliable, as lots of people in this thread have said. If we’re stepping outside of the logic puzzle constraints, why not just leave the door to the room open? Or have someone stand inside and shout when the light turns on? Or ask someone who knows these switches? Or any number of boring non-brain teaser solutions.

  • Op doesn't have time for interviews

    Jump

  • Go into the room and unscrew the bulb. You can now truthfully say that no switch affects the bulb’s condition, without messing with a bunch of switches whose function you don’t understand. You even know for a fact that the lack of bulb won’t cause a problem down the line, since the room is apparently no longer accessible.

  • Name this episode

    Jump

  • TOS if it had made it to season 5.

  • The audacity

    Jump

  • Yeah, why would you ever give this permission to a grocery list app in the first place? I’m sure I have a bunch of apps that would be doing this to me, but I’ve never given them the chance.

  • The audacity

    Jump

  • Writing out my grocery list makes me remember. Once I’ve written it down I generally don’t need to look at it. If I rely on an app I’ll be looking at that damn app every two minutes.

  • who is the best Dracula? [NEED YOUR INPUT]

    Jump

  • Yeah, I get it - an insane number of people have been Dracula, you need to limit the list somehow. But especially when we're less than a year out from the Egger's Nosferatu, I think people will really want to have that one available. And if that's on the list, it'd be weird not to include the original, since it's so historic and iconic.

    So I think I'd include those two but, despite what I said about the names, maybe you can skip '79 just on the grounds that it's very aesthetically similar to the '22 version? Picturing the list those two side by side might feel redundant, whereas Egger's version has a much more distinct look.

    But it's all debatable. And the end of the day, we've just been spoiled by too many Draculas.

  • who is the best Dracula? [NEED YOUR INPUT]

    Jump

  • I'd definitely recommend checking out Renfield. Cage and Hoult are both perfect in it, it's a shame it didn't do better..

  • who is the best Dracula? [NEED YOUR INPUT]

    Jump

  • Feedback on your selection:

    I'd drop the Draculas from Dracula III and Blade III. Neither of those are exactly beloved films. Then you have room to slip in the new 2025 Dracula and Van Helsing's without expanding to 15.

    If you do want a few options to expand, I'd suggest: Claes Bang (BBC/Netflix 2020), Duncan Regehr (Monster Squad), and Keith-Lee Castle (Young Dracula). They're all a bit more on the silly side and none would necessarily be my choice, but I feel like they might be someone's - especially if they grew up watching the latter two.

    Also, regarding your choice to disinclude Nosferatu -- the 1979 Nosferatu used the traditional Stoker names, including "Count Dracula", so if your only objection is the name that remake should qualify. And it's an absolutely beautiful film, definitely worth a watch (if unethical behind the scenes behaviour ruins films for you, though, I'd stay away from reading up on it...)

    My own choice:

    Joining the ranks of Gary Oldman lovers -- although if it matched your criteria, Skarsgard would come out on top.

  • Removed

    What is fucking?

    Jump

  • Nah. About her partner she sings “I wanna take you there” but about herself she specifically says “your voice can take me there.” Definitely about the joy of giving a blowjob.

  • Removed

    Jump

  • Well, that one’s specifically about blowjobs.

  • BANG!

    Jump

  • Which is why Jason Todd is such a great character (in the right hands).

  • TV show rule

    Jump

  • “If” isn’t the right word, since Kirk famously did kiss Uhura. But yes, the censors were against it. The scene was filmed both with and without the kiss, so the actors “accidentally” ruined every take that didn’t include it.

  • Have YOU ever done this?

    Jump

  • Yup, I’ve always externalized my thoughts when alone. Got teased for it occasionally when I was caught, but always seemed weird to me that people don’t. One of the many reasons I’m probably on the spectrum, but it’s not causing any harm.

  • Replace One Word In A Star Trek Quote With Sausage

    Jump

  • “If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with sausages to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.”

  • This is just Picard's warmup

    Jump

  • Though honestly, I personally like to imagine that Tom Paris really likes Star Wars, but when he brings it up, everyone thinks it’s just another one of his campy 20th century films.

    I mean, it is, isn't it?
