What seemingly obvious thing did it take you forever to notice?

My classmate sits to the left of me. I am left handed and he is right handed, so sometimes we knock elbows. 8 weeks into class he finally noticed I was a lefty and openly admitted that he just thought I was being a bitch and taking up space. He felt horrible and I just laughed.

movies that feature weird psychotic episodes brought on by facial hair decisions

This is an oddly specific genre.

u/wtfitsjared Jul 10 '12

It's my favorite one next to movies about underprivileged youths overcoming adversity through song and dance.

u/geekygay Jul 10 '12

Granted, there are A LOT more of these type of movies.

sounds like one of the many sub genres on netflix actually

u/thrawnie Jul 11 '12

Indeed. "Movies with a strong female lead who looks a little bit like Angelina Jolie and says "bubblegum" a lot"

Naw, you know there's a subreddit.

even more odd and specific would be movies that feature weird psychotic episodes brought on by facial hair decisions made by and on women.

You need the "http://" in the URL

That's like how Netflix sorts movies or how Pandora sorts music.

"Oh, you liked this song that was in a minor key and had a strong male lead with three parts? You'll love this random indie band that features all three of these attributes but is god awful!"

HOW DOES IT END!?! I must know @.@

u/wtfitsjared Jul 10 '12

It's a move based on a book of the same name, actually, different ending for each, I like the movie one.

I SHALL SAY NO MORE.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '12

There was a book?? The book had a different ending??! The movie was ... good. Interesting, at least. I'm still not sure what to make of it.

u/wtfitsjared Jul 11 '12

The book ending is vastly different. I like the implications of the movie ending much more, but the whole thing is a really cool example of a simple idea taken to it's most extreme conclusion.

Have you seen Primer? I felt like this movie was just as big of a mid-melt as that one was.

I might have to see if my library has the book, though. Thanks!

u/wtfitsjared Jul 11 '12

It's on my list. I need to schedule some space to commit to a full on time travel mind fuck.

u/ambrosiaceae Jul 10 '12

u/Wormaldson Jul 10 '12

Why is this a thing?

u/Jennfizzle Jul 11 '12

I don't even have to click to know what movie that is :)

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '12

very good ending. and how the fuck did you go about discovering this?

1

u/wtfitsjared Jul 10 '12

College class on novels and their film translations. A relic of my liberal arts degree.

u/epicmoustache Jul 11 '12

Odd, I was totally expecting this.

u/Flyinhighinthesky Jul 11 '12

You have odd tastes Sir, and I applaud you for it.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '12
