Get a new job. I refuse to do something long term I suck at.

I never have, but interestingly enough, every single woman Ive ever talked to this about have mentioned getting let off frequently. I dont know too many guys that have, let alone multiple times.

I got let off once, but interestingly enough it was a lady cop and Im a dude.

It was 2 am and I was just then getting off work. I was honestly going WAY over trying to rush home; like, 15 or more over, although I didnt know what the actual speed limit was when I got pulled over. She pulled me over, asked if I knew how fast I was going, I answered honestly, and she said did you know the speed limit?. I honestly answered no, apologized, said I was trying to rush home after a long shift, she gave me a slow down, and pay more attention to the speed limits, and then let me go. I got really lucky.

Wtf is this topic

Just rewatched 5 and finished my pre-Bloodlines rewatch of the series.

Man, 5 does almost overtake 2. Might have the best overall characters and relationships, had an actually decent romance, a new twist on the rules with the killing someone and gaining their life thing, and god damn, that plot twist at the end is legit so damn good but also kinda depressing since the 2 leads are pretty damn likable.

2 I think still squeaks by as my favorite, but it also just feels like the quintessential Final Destination movie.

Rewatched 4; still not great, but I think I enjoyed it slightly more this watch through than the last.

The 3D gimmick didnt bother me quite as much this time, and I forgot that the pool death is actually kinda cool. And the x-ray replay of past kills in the franchise in the opening was actually pretty cool.

Rest of the movie still sucks tho.

Id be very confused considering we met working at the same job, and now just work for different locations in the same company.

Was it 5 or 4 that connected to 1?

5

I liked 1.

2 was ok. The final death of the movie was more slapstick comedy than horror and at that point I was done. Didnt give the others a chance

I can get that rubbing people the wrong way, but I like that the series has a weird tongue in cheek kinda sense of humor, while also still fully embracing the horror element. Wouldnt call them horror comedies per se, but they definitely have a sense of humor, even the first one.

Bout to rewatch 4 tonight, been a while, maybe Ill hate it slightly less

Team Rocket

I went through all the movies a year or two ago, and I was preparing myself to how bad 4 would be due to everyone hating it so much, but its really not that bad. Yeah, its the worst one, but its still entertaining and enjoyable, like all the other ones.

I showed my roommate all of them a couple years ago and they said the same thing. The whole thing just feels so watered down to me, I just dont get as much enjoyment out of it compared to all the others. In every category 4 pales against even 3 which I would consider the second weakest entry, but even then its twice as good as 4 IMO.

I put 1 and 2 above the others just cause of the connected narrative.

As much as I love (most) of the movies, part of me does wish that they had kept Clear Rivers around as the franchise main character, she got done kinda dirty at the end of 2.

I always considered 1 the best.
the new one Im excited for, but dont like how it almost seems like its going comedic

The franchise has always had some comedic elements, but youre right, it does look like they might be leaning more heavily into that, so well see how well it lands. I do think that the best ones in the franchise are the ones that take themselves a little more seriously, but well see.

2 is an amazing horror movie. Great kills, mostly engaging characters, a fun twist on the formula. Its a great time, and I can also think of very few horror movies that influenced people on as huge of a scale as the log truck kill in the highway pileup. Great movie, genuinely.

5 was a solid return to form for the franchise after the shit show that was 4. Some of the best kills in the series, a plot that actually takes itself (kinda) seriously, while also still being fun and silly at times, another fun twist on the formula, and also a weirdly awesome plot twist at the end.

1 hasnt aged quite as well overall in terms of kills and effects, but it did a great job of setting the tone and outline for the franchise. It had fun characters, and despite some cheesy moments is probably the one that takes itself the most seriously. Also had a pretty big impact on people being afraid to fly, especially in retrospect coming out right before 9/11.

3 is fun, but VERY goofy. MEW is the only genuinely likable character, everyone else is pretty obnoxious. Had some iconic kills and fun moments, but the climax especially is on the weaker side for me. The weird kinda outta nowhere revenge plot line from the emo kid, the show down at the 4th of July(?) festival, the mystery of who was the hidden person in the photo on the coaster just being some rando friend of MEWs sister just kind of a let down, which is a shame, the first 2 thirds of the movie are overall pretty fun.

The roller coaster accident also doesnt look all that great honestly. >_>

4 sucks ass. Least favorite by a long shot. Not a lot of memorable kills, the opening mass accident is kinda lame, the effects are lacking, the characters arent memorable, the plot doesnt even attempt to do anything even kinda fun with the formula its just a huge let down, and Im just thankful it didnt completely kill the franchise. 5 weirdly did tho which is crazy cause its a way better movie, but at least we finally have Bloodlines coming out soon.

This topic took a weird turn with that argument >_>

But I only recently realized I have an absolutely huge Asian Supermarket really close by, trying to make it a habit to go there decently often, theyve got some awesome stuff.

How old are you then though , old enough to understand...

Not sure I fully understand your question, but I was 12 when I was homeless/in a domestic violence shelter. I'm 27 now if that's what you're asking.

Yeah, when I was 12 me, my mom, and sister were homeless for about 9 months, we were in a domestic violence shelter after my dad went bat shit crazy and tried to kill us. :/

And then in college I couch surfed a lot, so kinda sorta then too, but nothing compares to that experience as a kid. Being old enough to understand what was happening but not being old enough to be able to do anything about it def had a pretty big impact on me.

Watch Flow, its amazing

Ya fucked up, meat is always the priority.

Dune part 2, The Substance, and Wicked

Usually watch more, but frankly most of the others nominated dont look that appealing to me this year. I do want to watch Aora though.

The Monkey rocked, I liked it way more than I thought I would. Bat shit crazy, super dark but silly sense of humor, loved it.

1, but goddammit 2 had so much potential.

Overall this. I loved playing 2, but also it might be the glitchiest, most unpolished game Ive ever made myself beat because I loved the characters and story so much.

But fuck, parts of that game are so broken.

1 is overall simpler, but much more refined, the story is amazing, and I still love that twist, I cant even lie.

I want a high budget Stargate game.

The closest well ever get is XCOM.

Im paying $300 a month right now, dont think Id wanna ever go higher than that.

Bad Rats.

Please play Bad Rats.

House of the Dragon is pretty good, especially the first season. Its definitely back to what made the series fun.

That's what I keep hearing, but the fact that it's a prequel series I think really turns me off, cause I know everything it builds up to is plot-wise going to eventually lead to the ending of GoT. So I'm like "I know where this goes long-term, I'm good."

I cant think of a franchise I fell out of love with as quickly as GoT.

Mayyyybbbeee Star Wars, but thats been over the course of several years, and for the most part Im just neutral about new Star Wars stuff, but can be convinced to watch some of it here and there, and Ill still go back and watch the originals from time to time.

After those last 2 seasons of GoT I have no interest in watching or reading anything from that franchise again.

Hes the only good part of Alien 3 which is crazy since he dies so early.

Love Lower Decks, consistently fun time.

I typically really like game shows/reality game shows, but man, I just don't like Mr Beast's style. I'm not even talking about his controversies necessarily, but just as the face/showrunner he annoys the fuck out of me, seems so damn smarmy and fake, even by celebrity standards.

Mozzarella sticks, then jalapeno poppers, then mushrooms.

Although that order can vary a bit depending on where I'm at; there's a restaurant near me that has some of the best fried mushrooms I've ever had, and I'd probably take those over a cheap brand of mozzarella sticks.

Store bought eggs are usually a no go after a month; farm fresh you can sometimes push to 5 or 6 weeks, but 3 months is fucking wild, don't risk that shit.

Nah, but about a third of my yearly salary, that's one of my big goals this year is to whittle it down a good bit.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

Nah, I'm pretty much on my own. My dad's a piece of shit and my mom kinda went off the deep end, so I've had to be completely independent basically since the day I turned 18.

Although honestly at this point I probably make more money than either of them anyways.

Tamers is dope AF; first half is more Monster Of The Week for sure, but I still like that part, there's some good set-up and character development.

Shit really picks up tho once they get to the Digiworld.

Dope soundtrack, dope movie.

First movie I ever saw in theaters.

Don't get into a habit of drinking alone, alcohol can be really difficult to self moderate.

Also this. Smoke alone, drink with friends
