TROPHY CASE

Paramount going all out on their DVD disk designs. by jononfirein movies

[–]JustDarren 27 points28 points ago

There is a big difference between an album/dvd cover and what's on the disc. You take the disc out of the case, you put it in your player, you watch the video, you take it out of your player and put it back in the case. How much of that time is spent looking at the top of the disc?

I bet dual sided DVDs really piss you off too.

Sure, something with an interesting design is nice, but hardly necessary.

You're supposed to watch the movie, not look at the disc.

Yeah, and they are both great, which is why it's even more disappointing that this new one is such shit.

I did not. It's even better now.

It's a bad poster. :(

Doesn't mean I won't be seeing this though. But, seriously, it's bad.

Edit - Here is a good one, http://www.impawards.com/2012/dark_knight_rises_ver2_xlg.html and here is another good one, http://www.impawards.com/2012/dark_knight_rises_xlg.html

This new one is just the teaser photoshopped to look like it's on fire and batman copy and pasted in front of it.

So the kids and I had some fun artistically organizing the DVDs... This is the result. [x-post from r/dvdcollection] by DVDJunkyin pics

Speaking as someone that works in a library, this would drive me crazy.

No man, that's just where he keeps his pet caterpillars.

Is this up all the time now? I would love to try this and fail miserably.

I haven't downvoted you, but I certainly disagree with you. I still fail to see how the owner of this dog is a dick.

[–]JustDarren 2 points3 points ago

I don't know how Petco operates, but when I have to take my dogs to the vet I know they have no problem boarding them for a few hours or while I am at work. Often times I have no other option. I'd imagine that Petco is similar and does have kennels they can use for those very same reasons.

Why are you so insistent on placing the blame on the owner and not Petco? It seems pretty cut and dry to me.

[–]JustDarren 4 points5 points ago

There are people that have jobs that make it unable for them to use their phones. Maybe he was at work or in a meeting or who knows what. It's not his fault he missed calls, it's Petco's fault for losing his dog.

Stay classy, Bioware. by esesentimientocuandoin gaming

Look, I understand being angry and disappointed by that. What I don't get is demanding the makers of the product change it because of that.

[–]JustDarren -7 points-6 points ago

Off topic, but how do you feel this factors into the "games as art" discussion?

Art is what it is, it shouldn't be reshaped to appease the masses. Do you think this sort of things damages any chances gamers have of being taken seriously when they do things like create petitions to change the endings of games?

[–]JustDarren -22 points-21 points ago

They both have creators with a singular artistic vision.

Sure, they made it with the hope of people enjoying it, but they didn't make it for YOU. I see people in this thread talking about expectations or what they thought the ending should have done. That really doesn't matter though, does it?

[–]JustDarren -35 points-34 points ago

If you go to a movie and don't like the ending do you go to the director and demand him to film a new ending that fits what you wanted?

Do you go and demand your money back?

Edit - You Mass Effect fans are awful. Care to have a conversation or just downvote things you don't like?

Second Edit - I should add that I have no problem with people discussing the ending, voicing their complaints. But to think you deserve something just because you are a fan or you didn't like the ending. That doesn't make sense to me. Talk about it all you want but the moment you demand something in return because you were let down, that is entitlement.

What behavior/action do you hate about yourself yet keep doing it? by drunk_semen_throwerin AskReddit

[–]JustDarren 0 points1 point ago

I compulsively bite my nails, I've done it for as long as I can remember and I absolutely hate it. I know it's disgusting, and I want to stop but nothing has really solved it.

Often, I catch myself biting my nails without even thinking about it. How do you stop something like that?!

What's the most ridiculous thing you've gotten in trouble for? (school, work, etc.) by cathemeralin AskReddit

[–]JustDarren 1 point2 points ago

Long, long time ago me and my sister were at a babysitters. This lady had a child of her own that was there and her kid asked me to recite the alphabet, so I did.

Then I got to the letter "P" and this shitty little child goes and runs to her mom and gets me in trouble for saying pee. Which is bullshit, even pee isn't a bad word. What a fucking bitch that kid was.

If you are having trouble recognizing a lot of these actors, you should try watching movies that were made before 1980.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) [351x500] by JustDarrenin MoviePosterPorn

[–]JustDarren[S] 0 points1 point ago

This is by a Polish artist named Leszek Zebrowski. He works with pastels and as you can see his stuff is pretty trippy. I discovered his work at a poster convention in Austin, TX which is where I bought a reproduction of this poster.

You can see a bunch more of his stuff here, http://zebrowski-poster.com/gal.php?p=4

I'm really enjoying Peter Dinklage in Game of Thrones. What are other movies/TV shows he has done that are must watch? by beatsforthemindin movies

[–]JustDarren 1 point2 points ago

He doesn't have a large role in it, but The Baxter is a wonderful movie. He is pretty great in it as a gay wedding planner.
