Talk to the claw

And then the whole movie theatre clapped

But it's so true, too. Having too high expectations of you, then failing it feels a lot worse than no expectation and failing.
Daeyelle
Especially for sports teams, a good team versus a bad team, if they win by a lot: 'eh, of course you're supposed to smash em' win by a small
Daeyelle
Amount or even lose and you'll never hear the end.

Pessimism: I'm always either right, or pleasantly surprised!
Ansatsunin
There's nothing pessimistic in that statement. That is optimism.
johndeyeti
Losing feels twice as bad as winning feels good
ImFrank
Fear of loss is a real tool in sales and negotiations. That’s why you get free trails for everything nowadays.

2004. No one lets the Yankees forget choking in the ALCS, no one remembers who Boston beat for the series.
cspinasdf
St. Louis The series was awful though. They didn't even win a game.
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
It was a truly awful series. At no point could they slow down Boston's momentum. And yes, "No one" is an overstatement, but the point stands
upsidedownyhead
Hated this movie - totally normalising bullying at universities, including by faculty.
kojenk
Just like schindlers list promoted the holocaust, if we follow that logic.
winchent
...No it fuckin' didn't
DVSBSTrD
Yeah, everybody knows that shit is for high school.
RandyJefferson1
Thisguyhasopinions
My, someone's being dramatic.
upsidedownyhead
The dean made a bet with them and if they lost they had to leave? That's shit.
totallycooldude
Did you watch the movie? The whole movie?
upsidedownyhead
Yes. And the most glaring take-home was that the university was full of bullies and everyone was fine with it.
totallycooldude
Yeah and then they stand up to the bullies.
upsidedownyhead
And what is the result? Kicked out...
totallycooldude
Iirc they were kicked out because they cheated and then committed a crime.
PecsPewper
What the fuck is "z snapped"
HeyThatsMyFetish
Shame on you, child.

PecsPewper
So what does the Z stand for, or do they just call it the z snap because it looks like a z?
DVSBSTrD
Yes.
InsufferablePedant
"I give it three snaps up, in Z formation."
AFatRaccoon
The gesture indicates finality in an argument. It's a reference to Zorro.
PecsPewper
Wait. Is it really a reference to Zorro?
AFatRaccoon
Yeah, the Mask/Legend of Zorro movies came out 1998 and 2005 respectively, and the z-snap gained popularity mostly in this time.
mac821
Fuck this movie. Pixar has lost it's innovation and its pulse on what constitutes original.
kojenk
Originality is oversold. Its just one trait which is worthless by itself. Takes more than that to be good & its not even necessary
Mooseman1991
I...I liked it
BritishBatman
I think that's fine considering they set the fucking standard
mac821
How does that excuse the constant dick sucking over their new and mediocre movies?
ErkTheJrk
Haha says mac821 aka the guy shaking his fist at the screen. I'm challenging you right now to make a better movie, mac821.
mac821
Ah the classic anticritic.. So since I am not singlehandedly a corporation that employs hundreds to make movies i cant have an opinion?
ahhhhtomzilla
I loved monsters U
mac821
To each their own. Sorry if i was too harsh :/
rosebudthesled
They do literally have a step by step how to make a movie guide. So there never really was innovation. Just variations.
mac821
The were making leaps and bounds in 3D animation. Every movie featured new technology and that forced cohesiveness which drove the story
Dunes8
You can still innovate even if you have a guide.
LordofSadFace
maybe the movie doesnt has an original plot, but you cant say it isnt good
mac821
Yes i can. Thats what im saying.
xXRJcatsXx
I thought it was a good movie
mac821
I respectfully disagree.
morelikeconsham
What makes you say that? Coco, inside out, and brave are all recent, good, and original movies from Pixar. Finding dory and incredibles Ii
morelikeconsham
May have been sequels, but they were great movies in their own right, too.
mac821
Youre honestly using Brave as an example? I cant remember a single detail about that movie and i watched it in theaters twice with friends
morelikeconsham
I mean, everyone gets an opinion. I thought it was a fun, unique fairy tale, and its awards and profits seem to suggest so too.
mac821
You know what else has lots of awards and profits? The Fast and Furious series. A real testament to quality filmmaking that is
AdamCoakley
Brave is 6 years old tomorrow (13th) I wouldn't call that recent
morelikeconsham
And he used monsters university, which is 5 years old (14th) as an example of a recent downward trend. I went one movie further to show that
morelikeconsham
It really isnt a problem.
mac821
Examples of the problem: Cars 3, Finding Dory, The Little Dinosaur, Inside Out
SkoomaSteve
Shhhhh, let people enjoy things.
dentd
Shhh, let people have opinions.
mac821
Im saying we shouldn't let studios off when they lose sight of what theyre best at. I love pixar, hate the direction theyve taken.
BobbyBobbston
Maybe, but I feel like there's not a whole lot of people who agree with you. You're not entitled to choose a studios direction
mac821
But i am entitled to express my dissatisfaction. And feeling like it because a small subset of ppl on the net disagree is not a good census
BobbyBobbston
That you are. But saying "we shouldn't let.." sounds like you're demanding others to support you as if your words were definite facts, imo
standpatrickharris75
Those would have been the most cringe things to see in the cinema.
bahamallamas
People clapping always gets me confused.
GrimdogX
It's an emotional response, my theater clapped when The Force Awakens started playing because we were a bunch of happy nerds
brookers
It's what people do when they enjoy something.
Adthay
I hate when they do it in during a great line and as a result I don't hear the next three lines, gee I hope they weren't important
reallyaplatypus
Right? It’s a screen, nobody on it knows you’re applauding.
Flyndaran
Applause is always about how the applauder feels.
Sasuuni
Not really, had to go to a graduation event recently for work. Clapped for everyone but didn't really give a shit.
Flyndaran
True. Social contract and assumed obligations does cover quite a lot of human behavior in a society.
