Have you tried not being sad?

What's the last message you received from somebody before they passed away? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Every year we have a big family group chat to decide who will bring what to Thanksgiving even though everyone ends up bringing the same thing every year. I always bring pies.

This year, my young, recently-married cousin said his wife was going to bake a pumpkin pie. He got that message out just moments before I hit send on my annual "I'll bring pies" text. A few minutes later I got a text from my dad saying, "Your grandma wanted to make sure you didn't buy a pumpkin pie since Allie is going to make one." I said I did see it and I promised not to upstage the newest member of the family. Apple and cherry were still mine to cover.

Three days later grandma died in her sleep, and I take that as a sign to never buy pumpkin pie again.

Seriously, it was right there.

I am not a socialist, trade unionist, or a Jew, so I don't see any problems here.

What's your favorite guilty pleasure show? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Coronation Street. I spend $10 a month for a BritBox subscription to watch just that.

I get that it's cool to shit on superhero movies these days, but man I hope this is good. I am a DC fan and the Snyder movies never did it for me.

Oh cool, congrats Disney.

What object that you recently had bought really love? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Nice pair of sunglasses. Wanted them, didn't need them, bought them anyway. My wife thinks they look nice on me. Win win.

[Serious] What non-religious video(s) lights a fire under your ass to get shit done? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Not for the music video so much, but the song "5 out of 6" by Dessa. Such a great hype song. Cannot walk normal when this is in the earbuds, have to strut.

Not as bad as when you think, "That first time was probably a fluke...I'll try drinking again."

[Discussion thread] Gladiator II in c/movies@lemm.ee
[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

My wife enjoyed it as a simple popcorn flick, I enjoyed ranting about it on the drive home.

spoiler"Ok guys, listen up! Emperor's been killed, and we got a whole bunch of dead senators, gladiators, and soldiers in the Colosseum. I know you guys have probably heard there's an army of 5,000 soldiers marching in a straight line right outside the walls and also that there's another army of 6,000 people that just got mentioned in the previous scene, but still we got a job to do. We gotta get these dead bodies outta the Colosseum right this instant!"

"Boss, you want us to clean the whole Colosseum right now, when it was loosely implied that the whole city was fomenting a riot?"

"You're goddamn right, Wazlowski! All the bodies, weapons, any debris, I want it gone. Now!"

"Alright, boss, you got it. What do you want us to do with the giant platform that all the senators and that old lady were tied to? Obviously we'd remove that, too, right?"

"Don't get smart with me, Wazlowski. Unchain all the dead senators, have someone climb up onto the giant platform and untie the dead broad, remove absolutely every bit of the carnage that's still raining down all around us, but don't move the giant platform one inch! That gladiator who got on a horse and chased Denzel Washington out of here a few minutes ago even though it doesn't make any sense that he and Denzel both ended up riding horses out of the same gate based on where they were literally seconds earlier, that guy may want to come back here immediately after the battle to gently touch the giant platform with his hand and stoically stare off into the distance, considering all he's lost...and all he's gained."

Late the the party, just saw this a couple days ago. What a ridiculous film.

'Anora' is the funniest movie I've seen all year. (lemmy.world)
 

I try to avoid reviews/spoilers before seeing stuff, so I did not realize how much of a comedy it was. It doesn't come across in the trailer at all, but there are legitimately hilarious stretches of the film. And Mikey Madison deserves an Oscar for her role as the title character.

What's the weirdest word or turn of phrase you've used recently? (lemmy.world)
 

Inspired by something I said last night when complaining about an achievement at work and the only way I could think to describe it was "pure frippery."
