So I'm watching FRIENDS and Ross and Rachel have feelings for each other but never actually talk and Ross sees Rachel kiss Gavin on Monica and Chandlers balcony and he has this hurt expression and then he goes to Chandler and complains about her kissing a guy even though they've never talked or said anything. He also doesn't give Rachel a message that Bill from the Bar called for her. drat Ross could you be anymore of a bitch

I have a friend who doesn't believe in dinosaurs but I keep her around because she's nice and fun to hang with.

DrBouvenstein posted:My IIMM is that in the first episode the kid rolls a D20 for his fireball, but you NEVER roll a D20 for fireball. It automatically hits anything in the area, and the DM would be the one rolling the saving throw for the Demogorgon. If you have to shoot it through a narrow gap like an arrow slit or something you have to make an attack roll to not have it blow up early. That does not appear to be what happened on the show, however. I think the D&D might intentionally be wrong to mess with people which is hilarious.

Scenes where there are people talking in the background just mere feet away but they aren't making any sound. I can understand dulling their voices so we can hear the main characters talk, but it just looks goofy if they're completely silent and fake-talking to each other.

One thing that bothered me a lot when I was younger was how in The Legend of Zorro (the second Antonio Banderas movie), the villain's plan is to mass-produce an experimental explosive (nitroglycerin) and supply it to the Confederates, which will give them an advantage over the Union and prevent America from becoming a threat to the European powers. But the movie is set in 1850 and the Confederacy didn't exist until 1861.

It would also have taken some serious foresight to imagine the US ever being a world power at that point. We were a largely agricultural country. Even by the beginning of World War I more than 50 years later we were still kind of a joke compared to the continental powers of Europe at that time.

I'm a fairly knowledgeable man, but I had never even heard of pangolins until they were a shield type in Borderlands 2. I assumed they were a made-up creature from that game for a couple months until my roommate set me straight. My spellcheck is even refusing to admit pangolin is a word right now, so apparently it's not an uncommon knowledge gap.

That is a rationally irritating movie moment though. The irrational thing about the Legend of Zorro is that the plot wasn't about the US becoming a threat to Europe, it was that the villain was part of a secret Illuminati society that ruled Europe in the shadows and he didn't want a united America to be ruled by people outside of the secret society.

I said Australia and the teacher told me "Australia is a country, not a continent" the whole class laughed at me and I felt really stupid. It wasn't until later that day that I realized it's both. But the damage was done, I never believed anything grown ups said to me after that day without looking it up myself. I'm probably scarred for life over it, especially if I'm posting about it on an Internet forum 20 years later.

Captain America : Civil War Hawkeye shows up at the airport fight and Iron Man asks him why he isn't retired and golfing. Hawkeye says " I played 18, shot 18."' If he's the greatest golfer who has ever lived why is he wasting his time fight robots and Ant Mans? He could be making millions on the PGA tour.

Better question: why does he not put down the bow and start using a golf theme, with hyperaccurate shots, smoke bomb trick balls and the modified golf cart Hawkmobile, because that would make for vastly better movies in every aspect.

Your Gay Uncle posted:Captain America : Civil War You could make this argument about almost any superhero or -villain. Marvel lampshaded it with villains using potentially world changing gizmos to rob convenience stores in one of their recent Spiderman runs, but it's always been the core of Peter's character. Why does Spiderman fight crime as an impoverished student when he could patent the formula for web fluid and make billions? Because he also feels a responsibility to use his abilities to fight crime, and if he patents the fluid Spiderman uses to do that he'll put his family in as much danger as if he didn't have a secret identity. It's the same with Hawkeye. Why does he not make millions on the golf tour? Because he has more important things to do and money isn't an issue.
