yeah I eat rear end posted:It has to be a natural thing for it to work. If at any point someone actively tries to "turn it into a mst3k style riff-fest" it's always bad. Yes, even that one time where you think it wasn't bad. At 10, me and my friend Jason turned The Two Towers into an MST3K-style riff-fest and at the end, the entire audience gave a standing ovation and then burst into spontaneous, back-to-back renditions of Bohemian Rhapsody and the version of Hallelujah from Shrek wait no, we just kept getting mean looks thrown at his dad.

Saagonsa posted:I used to be squarely in the "never ever talk or make noise during a movie" camp, but after I actually went to a movie with a super rowdy crown I did a total 180. People hooting and clapping are the best and add a ton to the experience I have no problem with people clapping or cheering in a theater during a movie. This happened throughout all three of the LOTR movies at the time and it greatly enhanced the experience of those films IMO. My problem was specifically with dirty slobs and spoiled teenagers making noises with their food wrappers, drinks, and casual conversation with a conscious disregard for everyone around them. It definitely seems worse on average than just ten years ago.

So my phuo is that ADH's stupid zero-tolerance phone policy and strict etiquette are a result of never having the spine to confront another human being, so now that they have the power to do so they exclude people who do things that they don't like and act like they're champions of public decency or something. I've never been in a theater where someone's phone being on has ever bothered me, because a) no one texts with their phone held in the air above their heads, b) texting makes zero loving noise unless you're phone is a desktop from the 90's and you're using AOL IM, and c) I'm watching a gigantic glowing screen in front of me so someone's little 3x5 glowing screen within the next 100000 rows in front of me is a drop in the loving bucket. Also, the idea that "loud noises coming from other human beings in a theater" is such a problem that you need to set rules in place to deal with it is some cliched, clearly deluded, overly sensitive bullshit. The first time they popped up on my radar, they posted a YouTube video with a voicemail left by some disgruntled customer who was kicked out because she used her phone to find her seat. The way they handled the whole thing was so unbearably smug that I've decided that they are The Worst.

"I, for one, have evolved beyond the point where having a billion-candle screen three feet from my face while trying to watch a film is bothersome. Furthermore, children screaming at one other from across the theater is an integral part of the movie-going experience. So sad that others have such thin skin and are bothered by such trivialities."

The Onion sucks at being funny and has for a few years now. It's comedy that goes for applause and approval instead of laughs, in the same way as most late-night talk shows. Clickhole is still great, though.

Reality is more absurd than fiction and “Donald Trump is dumb” has been beaten so far into the ground bc he’s been front and centre in the news for nearly four loving years at this point.

You know how the term Gaslighting comes from the movie Gaslight, about a guy trying to make his wife think she's insane? I think we should use a different term for the same concept, based off a movie with a similar premise. From now on, instead of gaslighting, I want everyone to say screaming skulling.

That film also marks the first time in American cinema that a character said the phrase “bitches be crazy”

So it's trying to make someone think they are insane? Seems like a pretty narrow definition.

I think the term has expanded a bit- like in an abusive relation, gaslighting can mean the abuser isn’t straight up trying make you think you’re crazy but can be trying to make you think you’re the cause of their abusive behaviour.

Gripweed posted:It's when an abuser tries to make the person they're abusing stop trusting their own judgement Sometimes it's deliberately trying to undermine the actual sanity of the victim but other times it's ultimately a side effect of DARVOing everything. In the end the abuser just wants to control the victim and it's one of many techniques they'll use. Sometimes it isn't intentional but the result is gaslighting. It's also an interrogation technique meant to break a person's will. Nasty poo poo no matter what way you slice it though.

Hell, the fact that he hadn't gotten the boot from everyone a year or two ago speaks volumes.

These are just the people that got caught now. Just imagine how many people the Koch brothers, or Putin, or the Saudi Royals, rape on the regular. Just imagine what Trump got away with. Is still getting away with.

So how about Worcestershire sauce? It's perfect on everything that's not a dessert, and I don't eat desserts or sugar. If god came down and handed us a sauce, well he wouldn't because it already exists and some english dude made it by accident. Is this unpopular.  I can argue with you about sugar or desserts I guess if you want.
