What do you remember about before you were born?

Trae ,

That's a pedantic way to answer a question that you understand the purpose of, but are choosing to answer it hyper literally. So, I'll respond hyper literally. You don't remember anything about before you were born because you weren't there to experience it. You're recalling scientific theories and stories passed down through the years about historic events that took place before your birth.

The question again since you want to be hyper literal is "what do you remember about 'your life' before you were born?". It's a thought experimemt to make you think about the totality and finite of nothingness.

It also has games now.

I don't think it's rolled out to a lot of people. No one at work can see them except me, but my Google app has games that I can bring up.

DeSantis OKs law forbidding local governments from setting heat-exposure rules for workers ( www.orlandosentinel.com )

It’s worth noting that there are at present no heat-exposure safety rules at the Florida State or federal levels, so this basically means no protections allowed.

For everyone wondering how republican voters justify this type of shitty lawmaking, it’s like this.

“No one’s forcing them to work.”

“They came to this country to work, and this is our laws”

“They have it way worse in Mexico”

I’ve heard em all from people I work with.

Trae OP ,

So I went and saw it on a weekend with a buddy just because we liked seeing movies. We went into it with no idea what it was about besides “epic dragon movie”. I watched so many fans of the book get up angrily about 35 minutes in and storm out.

We talked to one of the theatre employees and they said that they had never received so many refund requests for a bad film before Eragon.

Trae OP ,

I understand the first three, but I have to fundamentally disagree with you as much as humanly possible on Rogue One being terrible. I absolutely respect your right and and opinion to think so, but for me it’s one of the best representations of what Star Wars should be in the space fiction genre.

What was it about Rogue One that bothered you so much that you couldn’t finish?

Trae OP ,

To me battlefield earth falls under the “so bad it begins to loop back around into Cheesey fun” category.

I especially love how what are essentially cave men find F16 fighter jets from the past and not only do the jets and old fuel work, but the cave men know how to start them and fly them effectively.

L Ron really outdid himself on that gem.

Trae OP ,

Hmm, are we talking like Clockwork Orange level events?

I’ve never heard of this movie before? Would you personally recommend watching it for any particular reason?

Trae OP ,

From what I’ve gathered they essentially betrayed every single principle, lesson, and character development that the books explored beautifully.

Think M Night’s “The Last Airbender” compared to the original Cartoon or Dragon Ball Evolution compared to the Anime.

Trae OP ,

Not even Idris Elba could save that mess of a movie.

Trae OP ,

Who doesn’t want to see a poorly trained child actor try and fill Jim Carrey’s shoes?

Trae OP ,

I think that anyone going into it should have expected exactly what they got.

Trae OP ,

I love shitty C tier action movies. Great way to pass the time.

Trae OP ,

Those kind of movies I tend to skip now. I used to see them a lot more frequently when my kids were very little. I’d take a couple hours of leave at work and leave early and go nap in an empty theatre at 11 in the morning on a Tuesday.

Trae OP ,

I’ve got a special place in my heart for Spice World. The VHS tape wasn’t the usual black color it was a lime green color. My little sisters watched it repeatedly.

Trae OP ,

Theatre handy j’s are a special treat not everyone gets to sample in life.

Trae OP ,

I can’t imagine not loving every second of that movie. I still sing Uncle Fucker to myself.

Trae OP ,

As in love as I was with Jessica Alba as a teen, I never actually saw that movie because I heard it was awful.

Trae OP ,

To be fair if they went into it not knowing how graphic Quentin Tarantino movies usually are, then I can see why they’d leave. It’s got literal rape and sodomy in it.

Trae OP ,

I’ve never heard bad things about it, but I’ve also never seen it. This thread is giving me a small list of stuff to check out to see if it’s truly bad or not.

Trae OP ,

I’m kind of happy I didn’t know they made a second Zoolander. I love the first one and it’d break my heart to see them try and capture lightning in a bottle twice.

Trae OP ,

It’s called Blart Heart and it’s a very powerful love affliction that Kevin James traps Dad’s into.

Trae OP ,

This city needs me… She cries out to me.

Also Wtf was up with Sam Jackson’s character talking about eggs constantly?

Trae OP ,

Get back to your ready room and tend to your lizard babies.

Trae OP ,

My friend loves that movie. It’s in his top 5

Trae OP ,

Treys a notorious musical nerd, so that tracks.

Trae OP ,

That’s right, Jesus. I haven’t watched that movie in like 20 years so I just took a shot in the dark at what jets were really popular at the time and we were flying the shit out of F16s during the Gulf War.

Harriers were fucking nightmares for the mechanics and avionics techs that worked them.

Trae OP ,

Ultraviolet falls into campy sci fi that I love like Equilibrium.

Trae OP ,

I bet she looks back on those memories with you very fondly and realizes how much you love her.

Trae OP ,

They came out in 2001, 2002, and 2003 which was a cinematic triumph at the time because he secured funding and filming rights to film all three movies at the same time.

Trae OP ,

Now that’s commitment, my dudes out here making posters about every bad movie he sees in theatres!

Trae OP ,

So this one I can 100% agree that if I had saw it in theatres, I would have absolutely walked out of it. When I watched it on DVD at home with family and friends I had to leave the room because I was getting motion sickness from all the fast moving shots and 1 second long cuts happening constantly.

Trae OP ,

Might want to reread my comments there home slice. I used the movies as an opportunity to take naps away from home when my children were babies and I wasn’t sleeping a lot at home.

I didn’t stop going to see crappy B action military movies because I was afraid my babies were going to run off and take the asvabs.

Trae OP ,

Somehow my Mom bought tickets for the movie Idle Hands when me and my siblings were small instead of Anna and the King. We didn’t last very long in the first film before the manager let us move to the right movie.

Trae OP ,

Is that the one with Willem Dafoe dancing around with his dong flopping around?

Trae OP ,

Sounds like you actually know. It’s been over 2 decades since I saw that movie, but I’m sure they handwaved it with something like that.

Trae OP ,

Oh yeah, you’re quite a bit older then me because I loved that movie even as a teenager going with my younger siblings.

Trae OP ,

Is this just coincidence that it was the same guy at 2 different movies or is this someone you’re going to see movies with?

Trae OP ,

I watched that one at home and I had to watch it in segments because every 20 minutes some A list celebrity would show up for like 30 seconds never to be seen again.

Trae OP ,

Bonaparte.

Trae OP ,

If I had gone and seen it in theatres I would not have known that it was a musical based on the advertisements.

The same thing happened with me and my mate when we went to see Chicago. I guess we didn’t catch any of the trailers that showed it was a musical, so we went in thinking it was going to be a gangster film akin to Goodfellas. We stayed for the whole viewing though.

Trae ,

GM owns Chevy and Cadillac. There’s literally no difference between the two except exterior branding.

Trae ,

If people’s first thought about women’s volleyball is that it’s purely a sport for Voyeurism, then that’s their bag to unpack on their own time. I watch Women’s Gymnastics and Figure Skating since my wife got me into it and I won’t entertain that shit with my friends. If I wanted to watch something just because there’s hot people in it, then I’ll just watch some regular ass porn.

I definitely won’t shy away from the fact that there are incredibly attractive women participating at an elite level in these sports, but I’m all about equal opportunity and will also absolutely recognize some hot bros doing gymnastics and figure skating. Usually shuts people up when I start talking about how hot football players are on the team they like to rattle on about forever.

Trae ,

Since you haven’t received a serious answer yet…

Utah is self reffered to as the Beehive State because Brigham Young originally wanted to name it “Deseret” from the Book of Mormon. “Deseret” in LDS teachings means “Honeybee”. This was meant to show that the Mormon settlers were hardworking, industrious, and self reliant.

This obviously didn’t fly for a ton of reasons and they didn’t have much of a choice after the Union Army basically chased them halfway across the country and then took a foothold right alongside them in the territory to make sure they didn’t establish a Theocratic state.

Trae ,

I think by 30 we’ll have a new Daft Punk album… They’ll both miss the feeling of working creatively on one big project and it will likely be on the same scale as RAM where they use it as an opportunity to collaborate with people in music that they really admire.
