Yeah but the movie “safety no guaranteed” is actually a great movie.
I do like quirky movies with weird story lines and this is one of those. It’s funny and well written and 100% worth watching.
cisco1972 t1_iuon1d0 wrote
Totally a sleeper. Have watched it a couple of times since it came out and it is really well done considering it's low budget. Not every movie needs to be blockbuster action. Human interest and fantasy made a good combo with this one.

Mark Duplass is great too.

The Duplass brothers do really good work. If you like Mark Duplass, check out Paddleton if you haven't seen it. Maybe the only time I've ever liked Ray Romano lol.

deadpan chick from parks and rec??? do you mean to disregard the absolute icon that is Aubrey Plaza?
Amity83 t1_iunb9rr wrote
I couldn’t remember her name and didn’t have time to look it up. I never watched parks and Rec. I got a little tired of the TV mokumentary format as the office started to fall of in the later seasons. I remember liking this movie a lot though.
ShoulderGoesPop t1_iunkjxq wrote
Parks and rec doesn't really follow the mockumentary format. They tried to do that in the first season cause the office was so popular but that season is by far their worst. Second season is much better and by halfway through they really hit their stride
I personally liked parks and rec way more than the office. If you have time you should give it another shot
kahurangi t1_iuo5xoc wrote
I like the way that the US Office took a season or so to differentiate islet from the UK version, then the same thing happened with P&R.

This movie is hilariously quotable! “You gotta be ready when the heat gets hot” “There’s no sense in nonsense” “Nobody’s ever seen my moves before”
A good movie, and a good date movie.
Check. It. Out.

"Listen to me. You come to that launch site at 5:00... You take my hand, and I'll show you who can't time travel."
The way that line was delivered has stuck with me to this day and I saw the movie once, years ago. Idk if it was how sincere he said it, or the way it conveyed hope in something fantastical, but damn, it stuck with me.

There is also the 2012 movie, Safety Not Guaranteed.

tldr: Dude posted it as a joke to see what kind of responses he would get. He expected a couple dozen and ended up getting a flood of responses. A lot of them were really tragic and poignant, like parents wanting to prevent their kid's suicide.

Unnecessary salt but ok
I_think_Im_hollow t1_iunq6q8 wrote
jk, the meme comes from people who think 2008 was "just 4 years ago" because 14 years would be way too much time and that would mean that we're old.

I subscribed to this for a year. The first issue I received contained an "Editor's Note" filled with straight up misinformation about COVID. Like not their opinion on how it was being handled or whatever, but actual lies about the scientific facts.
At least it's printed on the kind of paper that works well as a fire starter. So still useful on my backwoods home.

That is so sad, I had a subscription before covid and really liked this Mag.

Sadly, it does not work as TP. Too glossy and scratchy.
You'd have to ball it up and rework it multiple times to get it down to an acceptable level of softness.

darkoath t1_iuoybs2 wrote
IIRC that mag was started by people that defected from The Mother News when TMEN "sold out and went corporate and lost it's way".
NGL, I prefer TMEN first 10 years to all the years that followed, too. But I prefer the first 2 years of Backwoods to all the years that followed there as well.
Seems like they split on "political" lines. You'll prefer Mother if you identify as a DEM and Backwoods if you identify as a REP. And if you can actually think for yourself you'll find 20-30% value in each.

I watched a whole video explaining that add. I think it was whang who made the video. Pretty much the guys boss that ran the classified add told the guy that wrote it he needed to fill extra space with jokes and fake adds if he needed too so he made this up. The family that had the PO box number got prank calls frequently asking about the time travel and had to change their number.
B-Double t1_iumz0vq wrote
But there is no phone number listed in the ad. 🤷🏻♂️
OneTyler2Many t1_iumzcr2 wrote
A guy traced the PO box number which lead to a residence and a number. It pretty much doxed a family who had nothing to do with the add.
mobappbrowse t1_iunfgsc wrote
Did he straight-up stalk them? PO Boxes aren’t associated with an address other than the Post Office building. He would have had to watch the Post Office box or steal information from the Post Office.
OneTyler2Many t1_iungell wrote
I just know the guy was able to get the Info and made the number public. Watch the whang video, he explains it better than I could but he even plays all the funny voicemails that was left to the family. Guy got the number by knowing the PO box somehow. https://youtu.be/rj9acDtMooA
darkoath t1_iuo7p3q wrote
The actual guy that actually wrote the actual ad copy in the actual magazine back in actual 1997 doesn't actually ever say that.
He does say that other people appropriated the ad and used their own contact information. So maybe that's what you're familiar with. Or the guy in that video is just making shit up.
DulceEtBanana t1_iumpb44 wrote
If I'd been the copy editor for that issue, I'd have dropped another ad under it

You know, reading yours and other comments here...I think I'm going to revisit it. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mental space to receive it when I did. Before the end of the year, I'm going to give it another chance. But if I still feel the same after a second viewing, I'm planting my metaphorical flag.
