There are three different people who claim to be “sensitive” just in my workplace of like 20 people, I stg like 1/3 Americans believes themselves to have psychic ability of some kind

I wouldn’t worry about it too much if it isn’t causing you stress or harm while you’re awake. I quit smoking several years ago now and in almost every dream I recall having, I just have a cigarette a lot of the time in addition to whatever else is going on. Sometimes it actually enters into the dream, a lot of the time not.

I don’t notice any effects from this like increased craving. I think it just means there’s a little part of me that misses the heaters; I’d be lying if I said I never thought about having one, you know?

Soulja boy up in this hoooo

Yeah, same lol. My dad liked to rebel against my mom by letting me get movies he knew she’d hate from the [ancient wheezing] brick and mortar VHS rental store so I saw, like, the Alien series, Terminator and T2, and so on

I’m trying to break my long habit of lurking, I’d like to see the platform grow so I help where I can

Don’t know where in world you are; I’m USA but my state actually likes funding public libraries. Sorry to hear yours are lacking like that, man : /

I’m just old enough to clearly remember pre-internet life and library use, so the coolest thing my library has in my opinion is the huge catalogue of books available at my fingertips through their app. No physical item to worry about means no risk of late fees either, it just returns itself if I don’t before the rental is up.

There are, like, household tools and stuff available as well as a good catalogue of movies on disc. I avail myself of those now and again, but I constantly have a book or two borrowed. That’ll always be my favorite thing my library has.

In my heart I feel it’s the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up

Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB

Nonsense, “spaghettified” is a perfectly cromulent word

Cool, now actually enforce that judgment

For part of today

It’s the only way to be sure.

exert positive control over things you can control

Came here to say this exact thing. Getting the initial drive to get up and do something can be hard, but taking charge on something is an effective cure to> feeling helpless on what you can’t

I think the mundane perspective and ordinary characters were meant to ground the movie. Most kaiju movies follow elite scientists or squads of soldiers so it’s a bit easier to relate to regular people just bumbling around (and a lot cheaper to film).

See, this is what got me into the theater for Cloverfield, I wanted this movie. It’s a bummer I got it in the form of some particularly jittery found footage. I was hoping for something more akin to those goofy disaster movies, but the disaster is a kaiju; not just in tone, but in how it was shot. As you say, some more spectacle would have gone a long way. That, or to really drill down and get into the “human horror” aspect and maybe make the military/authority figures more antagonistic.

All in all, I guess I’m glad Cloverfield succeeded despite my personal feelings because we got 10 Cloverfield Lane which, while not without problems of its own, I enjoyed much more
