I don't know if this is unpopular here but i think it might be for the general public. Marky Mark is the most baffling famous person in existence. he's a bad actor, unlikable, has a stupid face, almost all of his movies are trash for morons and he permanently disabled a man in hate crime. How this guy has seen nothing but bounty in life is beyond me.

Can't go with you on this one veni, scanning through his Filmography he gets a pass just for The Departed and Three Kings, both excellent movies. He wasn't great in Planet of the Apes but then who was? Cheers for reminding me I still haven't watched the movie Boogie Nights.

Hell it's a pass just for Good Vibrations, thats just a classic 90's dance anthem, yeah, Mark (Marky) Wahlberg is not going to chart in my top 500 favourite celebrities list anytime soon but most baffling famous person in existence? Don't see it.

Heres my choice venix3 tho, theres this young singer from Northern England called Yungblud, try and bear the first 30 seconds of this song that has 45 million views on youtube and then tell me you wouldn't rather watch the entire Max Payne movie instead

That's completely fine. It's clearly not for me because I'm not 15, but so what? I loved music like that when I was 15. Like, that song is almost identical to Fat Lip.

Boogie Nights is fantastic. He's also in the highly underrated The Other Guys but I'm not sure if he's bad in it or if his weird timing and delivery is intentional.

‘Spiritual but not religious’ is an incredibly common self-descriptor in the AA/NA community.

In that context it’s anything but smug, it usually means something along the lines of ‘I’m working this program and doing what it tells me to do in terms of the Higher Power, but I’m not a bible thumper’.

Yeah, and AA has a dismal success rate partially because they try to low key get everyone in the program to be at least "spritual".

I agree. It's super weird that the hate crime thing is so glossed over when other people have had their careers ended for significantly less (like saying bigoted poo poo in old tweets.) That's obviously bad, but beating people up because they're Vietnamese is a lot worse.

Oh and Mark Wahlberg also liked to chase small kids, scream the n-word, and throw rocks at their heads because they were black. He did this more than once.

There will never be a good Godzilla movie made in the west because the appeal of the movies is watching men in rubber suits smash up cardboard buildings. Doing that with state of the art special effects isn't fun.

It's an ice bath, or swimming in a frozen lake like it used to be done, except for the rich.

Apparently icing yourself after exercise speeds recovery or something. Normals like you or me would probably climb in a bath of ice. Fancy people have Cryo chambers to enhance their sexual energies and orgone levels at the same time.

Those are incredibly stupid, too. Decent risk of frostbite and if they leak nitrogen it can displace all the oxygen in the room and kill the poo poo out of you.

I'm actually pro ice baths, and swimming in frozen lakes, after a sauna. I'm Finnish after all. However think cryo chambers are a bit of a joke, and a status symbol.

Fireworks are terrible. They're not that cool to look at. Just not impressive. They should be illegal. They're dangerous, and they're disruptive. Using them in any kind of residential area means you're being a loud annoyance to people who live near you. There's very likely some neighbor of yours that is trying to sleep, and you're making their life worse so that you can enjoy a loud flash of light. gently caress off. They're a loving blight and the week of 4th of July is the worst. Of course people have been lighting off fireworks until almost midnight every single night for the last god drat month. Any enjoyment I may have ever had from fireworks is gone. gently caress them.

I don't feel like that's true? Even in stuff like Star Trek they generally can't wait to get off the ship and spend some time on an actual planet.

After watching Hamilton on Disney+ I still think its amazing, and I hate how SA and the internet has turned against it so much, and treats you like the guys from Get Out claiming they have a black friend if you say you enjoy it. It's okay to like popular things.

i havent seen it but i heard that Hamilton is about a bunch of people dressed up as the founding fathers rapping in that boring style where the rhyme scheme is just A A A A A A A and that sounds lame honestly. i might be wrong but i also just don't like musicals

Absolutely nothing will ever convince me that Hamilton is any different to the incredibly lame educational plays they forced us to watch in school that were put on by well-meaning theatre enthusiasts trying to make education engaging for teens.

i cant stand most modern theatrical productions, especially if they do a stupid rear end dance or include music or just weird meaningless behavior or they try to "update" shakespeare to make it more "relevant" (get it??? julius caesar is just like donald trump!)

the clothing and stuff on stage should just be functional and non-distracting, i'm not a theatre guy in general but i can still appreciate a very well-delivered monologue or something, just get good actors and don't bullshit around with decoration and modernizations, just deliver the lines very well

also all of the "funny" and wacky shakespeare plays can go in the toilet, the tragic or historical ones like othello or hamlet are good but shakespeare isnt very funny and whenever you hear someone laugh at a stupid joke in the taming of the shrew or whatever its always this kind of "academic laughter" where you can tell the person's not really feeling it
