EDIT: Monday Frontpage again! Thank you very much, my dudes! Be awesome to each other! I do reviews as a hobby, and this week I checked "The Invite"! Is it as good as people are saying? You can see it here: https://youtu.be/NQOn2IF-e9I

#14 What kind of instruments? Surgical?

It can't improve the original but could be useful in the sequel to The Schindler's list

#1. I love this movie. And, as a decent soccer (futball) player in my youth, just magic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6beixJ0lMA&t=74s

And that was with Pele doing a VERY good job of faking a broken rib.

#12 I haven't rewatched Shrek in a long time. That's weird... she hates her ogre self but still falls for Shrek.

I mean, it's an interesting opinion, but I don't agree with it.
The scene is there to show that Fiona suffers from the same inability to accept and love who she is (just like Shrek), while reinforcing both of their beliefs that anyone could love them (which is ironic, because they both initially reinforce that by disliking each other at first impression). They learn to care for the other based on what is on the inside, they still need to learn to love themselves, too.

#4 Pretty much. There is soo much misinformation about the middle ages.
For example: The lack of personal hygiene did not lead to epidemics, but epidemics lead to a decrease in personal hygiene cause bathhouses were public spaces (and even in the middle ages they understood social distancing). https://de-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Badehaus?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en EN wiki has btw a very pitiful article on bathhouses, so maybe the situation there was different but that is pure speculation.

#1 And virtually playing as France, with Stallone as a goalkeeper (not kidding) and Max von Sydow as a nazi.

#14 That's not a bad detail, that's the real point the book was trying to make. It's just been expanded by pop psychology to cover everyone instead of just the British.
FetteredJuvenescence
I mean... Golding was using the kids as a metaphor for WW2, basically saying that the adult society of the greater world was no better than children without a minder. But the basic assumption that kids would go berserk and kill each other without adult supervision has been proven false over and over by studies (Some of which wouldn't be possible to run now due to much better ethical standards), and situations like the one referenced in the meme. So basically kids are better people than adults.

The British upper class boarding school system was made to pump out psychopaths who would invade other countries. It worked.

#14 that *is* the real point of the book though. People aren't bastards; private school Brit boys are.
FetteredJuvenescence
That... wasn't the point at all. Golding was using the boys as a metaphor for the world conflict that's happening during the events of the story--world war II. He was a cynical bastard who absolutely meant to say that all people are awful, and what happens on the island is just how humans are. But the metaphor falls apart because all studies of unsupervised children show that they actually self-organize and function better than adult society, generally.
FetteredJuvenescence
To be even more precise, he was a RELIGIOUS cynical bastard. His point was that the kids needed an adult to guide them and keep them from killing each other. He's trying to make the point that humans are like the kids and need some imaginary sky daddy to tell them what to do so they don't kill each other. So all the evidence suggesting that kids do reasonably fine when adult guidance is removed from the picture really does undercut his point heavily.
bricePlanetDiver
Golding wrote lord of the flies in the context of colonialism, white supremacy, and as an answer to books like The Coral Island, and was very much a caricature, a subversion thereof. It was a critique of British society, and not an attempt at making a general point re humanity.

#1 I thought it was just named Victory

There ain't nothing on that bread but the devil's lettuce.
InitHello
Beelzebub's broccoli.

That looks like ordinary lettuce. Unless that's what we're calling the stuff with cyclospora now.
nothingunused
It sure is! How can we get the news to start calling it "the devil's lettuce"?

And, I guess, some mustard after he puts it on...

#10 Judgment at Nuremberg which I watched yesterday would certainly have a different feel to it.

#5 My credits will be pretty short really.

#1 - in the movie, Pele was from Trinidad which was part of the UK during the war.
Wardonk3y
#1 wasn't Sylvester Stallone in that as well? Seems like I remember they were under duress, like they had to play together or die.
copperdomebodhi
Yes - it was just called "Victory" when it was released in the U.S.
rossonerinho
Stallone bs'd his way into the trainer's job then Caine noticed he was a decent goalkeeper. Back then there were no subs in football and Stallone had to be on the team. They broke the real goalkeepers arm so Stallone could play.

If you watch the video itll be in Peter Griffins voice tho.

I'm kind of amazed that a guy who can sing well can also sing... not badly, but also not well.

Seth MacFarlane is seriously talented, i think he gets overlooked cuz he mostly works on his own stuff, but if you think about what he does its just crazy, like imagine if Matt Groening also voiced Bart and Homer and half of Springfield and Fry and Bender the whole time and Elfo for the first season. And yeah, he can sing distinctly as all of them, any Peter/Brian/Stewie/Quagmire duets are just him singing with himself, or like any time Brian is doing a BAD impersonation of Stewie or something.
