He's already got a ton of influence in his film partnerships, has for like a decade or two now. I just don't think that's what he wants for himself, maybe once he hits seventy and his body will no longer let him destroy it for icon status.

He directed one episode of a TV show lol



Even the average sci fi character has more than a couple of director episodes under their belt, so it's quite surprising to me that he only did it once and noped out of it

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
If you're going bald, a really clever thing to do would be to get the phrenology head map tattooed on your head. But you skew it very slightly so that it looks normal, but just so happens to make your virtuous areas bigger and downplay your vice areas. People will look at you and be like, "drat, this guy's honesty area is huge, but his laziness area is tiny! You can tell just from looking he's an amazing man!"

Shaving your head when balding is a coward move. Balding good-looking fellas still look good with male-pattern baldness.

You know what look is cringe? The shaved head + large groomed beard. 3x cringe if you wear a hat to pretend you totally have hair that matches the beard.

It's a system of rotating blades and other instruments used to cut, separate and stow away the economically valuable constituent parts of NFL players. And yes, every American should be forced to run through it.

I don't get the appeal of dogs.

My cat:
- wanted to be involved in what I was doing
- wanted to cuddle, lie beside me, lie on me, make biscuits on me, sleep beside me
- would spontaneously headbutt (affectionate) throughout the day
- would run to the door when I got home to say hi

I love my partner but his dog:
- lies on the floor
- stares at me
- gets up only for walks
- tries to eat other dogs poop
- needs walks and drags mud in
- is in general not interested in me but only what I can provide him

People think this is better??

This sounds like the exact opposite of every cat and dog I have ever heard of.

Except the eating dog poop, that's normal.

I am a cat person and get lots of love from the one I have been with for 13 years, but also know many dogs who are elated to see me. It sounds like this one might’ve been socialized to only expect the necessities from humans.

i don't mind pets conceptually, my missus best friend has a Yorkshire Terrier/Shih-Tzu cross that is absolutely adorable that we look after during holidays and i'll happily pet a cat I meet in the street etc but I certainly don't want to take permanent ownership of one and be liable for it's healthcare, nutrition, exercise and social needs. no animal gives enough enjoyment to warrant all that effort, especially when you can just experience the good bits from other pet owners without having to pickup another animals poo poo - probably the most degrading act a human being will do under the mantra of love

No, there’s no point if if it’s some blow off thing. It needs to be a serious evaluation of physical fitness.

Yeah, some cats are aloof loners and some dogs are highly affectionate. Animals have personalities beyond their instinctual behaviors it turns out, and with dogs it’s often breed specific.

I know that it actually refers to kneading, but "making biscuits" sounds like it should be somebody's great-grandma's polite old-timey way to say "taking a poo poo".

"I took the dog out for his walk this morning but he didn't make biscuits like he usually does, so we'll have to take him again soon."

No, dude, lean into it. Grow out your long straggly hair. Go to the gym and get real thin but with a surprising strength in your old bones. Start wearing cloaks. Buy one of these, mount it on a staff, carry the staff with you wherever you go. Develop a menacing cackle. Start offering people great power as long as they're willing to pay the price.
