I would think doing well with people would be one of the pre-requisites for being a service dog.

I think in her case she wasn't implying that the dog can get violent or anything like that, just that it tends to not be friendly. Not walking over to strangers, letting them pet it. Just staying close to her side, basically.

I remember one time a military veteran came into my store with a German shepherd service dog. I knelt down and beckoned it, at which point she told me "oh, he doesn't do well with people," yet at that moment the dog walked over and let me pet him. I swear demeanor is a huge factor. Human demeanor I mean.

Yet as glass once shattered becomes stronger when annealed,
so too a broken heart pieced together can be healed;
For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you,
But when the abyss stares into you, you can break its heart, too.

I've never been afraid around any breed of dog, and therefore I've never given off a scared vibe. I think that has a lot to do with it. I'm sure dogs are very good at sensing if someone remains confident in their presence, and I really think that has a huge role in how they behave.

Granted, certain dogs will just go rogue anyway. But the still never concerned me. I dunno. I mean yeah getting attacked would suck, but I'm 6'0" 200 lbs and muscular. I don't see any dog as being life threatening to me. If one did attack me, especially something like a pitbull, it better be ready for a street fight.

I'm poking eyeballs, punching ribs, kneeing stomachs, etc.

That annoys me. Literally everybody in that room notices what Buzz is doing and he gets no repercussions at the end of it.

That's because he "apologized" for it, however I'm siding with Kevin because his whole family is pretty dang stupid not to be able to pick up on Buzz's disingenuous speech oozing with mockery.

It's so exaggerated that I almost wonder if it's meant to be a child's perspective on how things are going. His family isn't actually that bad, it's just Kevin's interpretation of what's actually happening.

I think this is true at least as far as Old Man Marley and the Pigeon Lady are concerned. I think the terrifying visages (in terms of the actor's portrayal) are meant to represent how Kevin perceives them, I don't think they were actually looking at him in such a threatening manner. Then once he realizes they are nice people, we (and him) see them for who they really are.

Uncle Frank because he was an adult picking on a child.

Plus, each movie ended with Buzz and Kevin having a legit bonding moment. No such moment occurs with Uncle Frank. The closest thing is Frank exclaiming "Okay, Kevin! Alright! Merry Christmas!" At the end of part 2, which with his tone of voice comes across as disingenuous.

Hmmm?

The gushers don't even gush anymore. I swear they make them with less juice.

2 is fantastic y'all are smoking crack

I am right

I don't see anything out of the ordinary about this video. The guy wasn't being creepy, the lady wasn't acting like she was creeped out. Just a par for the course conversation between a worker and a patron. What's the big deal?

In Jaws when the shark breaks away part of the pier and the broken section slowly turns around in the water, the creaking of the wood and the intensifying music. God, so good. At the 2:22 mark in this video.

We all know when you consecutively jump on Goombas, Mario gets the double the point value each time. So let's say you jump on three in a row, you get 100, 200, then 400 points.

If you managed to jump on two Goombas simultaneously (which is a little tricky) they both die at the same time, and the first one gives you 100 points but the second gives you 400!

I always thought this was a neat little detail. Wonder if they decided to make the second one worth the value of a third Goomba just because stomping two at the same time is harder?

The conductor ensures all the performers are playing at the proper cadence. Orchestras are so large each individual musician has a good chance of drifting off tempo, which even if slight will affect the overall sound especially if several of them do this. The conductor provides every single person in the orchestra with a constant source of direction, as long as everyone pays attention and follows the tempo he sets, the work will be performed correctly -- assuming he or she is a good conductor, which is why a select few conductors have been revered over the years. You can't just stand up there and wave around a baton. You need to know music intricately.

Sometimes you get various connotations which helps get a broader understanding of the term

@_@

Close poll!

I say yes!

a necklace isnt a character

I am aware. Hence the term "references."

yusiko posted...

but he still is shown in the first one so thats his introduction
until scream 5 the only characters to recur had only been introduced in the first film

What about references? Derek was introduced in Scream 2 and Sidney still wears his Greek letter fraternity necklace in Scream 3.

Ratiocination

In the original Super Mario Bros., Mario doesn't actually fight Bowser eight different times in those eight worlds. The first seven "Bowsers" that Mario encounters are decoys, and their true form can be revealed by defeating them with fireballs rather than using the axe to destroy the bridge. For instance, in World 1 the "Bowser" turns into a Goomba upon being defeated with fireballs.

The real Bowser doesn't show up until World 8.

yusiko posted...

fun fact, judy hicks was the first time a character from one of the sequels returned for another installment

Do you mean a character who was introduced in a sequel?
Other than her, who else is there?

Randy's sister counts (Scream 3 and 5).

I think that's it? Well, Det. Kincaid from Scream 3 is cleverly referenced in Scream 5.

Hmm, well I do appreciate the thought of a future advanced civilization being unaware of Earth and viewing dinosaurs as alien beings. Just that change in perspective is neat.

yusiko posted...

im aware and i want her to live as well
im hate for her to have her survival of scream 4 confirmed in scream 5 just to kill her in scream 6
and even though neve isnt returning they shouldnt kill her offscreen
let sid walk out of this franchise alive and well

I agree. Like even in universe Sidney as regarded as untouchable. There's no point having her around lol

I'll be watching it. I really enjoy the Scream films.
BTW, Hayden Panettiere is gonna be back as Kirby.
Also Courtney Cox will be in as Gale.
No Sidney, though.

And if the movie is going to have a "theme" like the other ones, I think it should be a commentary on movie franchises, since being a part 6 really launches the Scream series into that kind of status, like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Hellraiser, etc.

The commentary could be about how now it's just going out of control, perhaps there's no real motive at all for the killer. Just a bored millennial with nothing else to do. That'd be pretty dark.

One for the history books!

Not sure how the plot would work but imagine seeing Marv and Harry again. Kevin could reunite with Brenda Fricker (pigeon lady) to show he hasn't forgotten her, etc.

It was at a fancy restaurant. I work at an Ace Hardware. So at the party, by the time I got my plate of food there were no more seats available. So I was getting ready to just eat my food standing up.

John Gavin (the co-owner of our franchise, along with his brother) noticed me and offered me the seat at the head of the table where he and his family were sitting. I don't think I'll ever get a bigger honor working at Ace!

Haha, getting the Roman Reigns treatment by the owner.

No retakes. Do your best ahegao and share so we can all enjoy! Here's me:

Wasn't expecting that much, tbh

Reminds me of an old school clip of Beavis getting his groove on to Shaggy's "Boombastic"

The rapid escalation from shoulder boppin' to straight up twerking/humping the couch is hilarious, including Butthead's reaction.

Shigeru Miyamoto has gone on record to say that the characters are actors and that they're all friends in real life.

Wtf!

How can we trust any Mario game? Has he ever actually been in any danger? Is Bowser truly a villain or are they all just actors who are secretly friends in real life?
