I’ve never looked at the Uncle movie with John Candy in this way before. Not sure what to think.

… that was created using your mother’s soul!

Or some shit. Lol

I like the discussion. Obviously I’m not dying on any hills here. I just think it’s worth looking at the movie in a different pov. Thank you.

I’ve been on the other side, as a patient.

Edit. I think she did want the best for everyone. Even during the climatic scene. She just didn’t know what else to do, and using his mother as a form of pressure, while definitely wrong in hindsight, was really all she had left at the time. Don’t forget that scene is the morning after they all threw a party and everyone was basically drunk, including staff.

I also recommend reading the book. It’s really good.

The movie takes place in a different time, just to be clear.

The patient in question was faking being crazy. Acted out and challenged her every single day. He even snuck all of the patients out of the hospital, stole a bus and a boat, and went off on everyone for shits and giggles at every opportunity.

Of course I don’t agree with the lobotomy. But he was pushing real damn hard for it.

He was also a jail jumper. They put him in that ward to finally get rid him.

Ratchet was fine giving them their meds every day, and being the only nurse in charge of doing meetings and everything else, until he showed up and instigated everything.

Are you off your meds today?

Nurse Ratchet. Lady was just trying to do her job.

No one likes you, that’s all.

It’s not too bad, right? It’s actually got dough in it.

They have small frozen pizzas that are in a cardboard box at places like Aldi’s and Walmart. They’re good, they actually have crust, and cheap. $8 for a supreme. I just get one of those sometimes.

I also ordered a small pizza and wings this past weekend from the pizza place in my area. $27, for take out. It’s like fast food and pizza joints are competing to see who can get more expensive.

It is though. Without farming we wouldn’t even have a modern era.

10k years is longer than recorded history. That doesn’t change anything that I said.

Thank you for the corrections though.

One dollar bill? Believe or not, straight to a beating.

I propose more cool video games.

I believe the term you’re looking for is “al dente”

Exactly. Dumb jokes are fun.

Everyone in here acting like farming and livestock hasn’t been the cornerstone of human population since 400k years ago…

Try adding Old Bay, or some Steak Seasoning.

Nerds like dumb jokes too, pal.

The Louvre Pyramid took five years to complete. Designed in '84 and completed in 1989.

The Walter Pyramid took two years to complete. It’s 18 stories tall, and can seat 6,000 people. Each side of the perimeter of Walter Pyramid measures 345 feet (105 m), making it a mathematically true pyramid. It is one of only four true pyramid-style buildings in the United States, the others being the Summum Pyramid in Salt Lake City, Utah, Luxor Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Memphis Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.

Pyramids are pretty simple. What you really want are today’s architectural wonders.

The Petronas Twin Towers are a pair of 88-storey skyscrapers standing at 451.9 m (1,483 ft) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital. They are the world’s tallest twin towers and were the tallest pair of buildings in the world after their construction in 2004. Both buildings are linked by a 2-story skybridge at their 41st and 42nd floors and the bridge is 170 m (558 ft) tall, which makes it the world’s highest 2-story sky bridge.

The Washington Monument is the world’s tallest stone structure, and the world’s tallest obelisk. It’s made of granite, bluestone gneis, and marble. It had a staggered construction, and took around 10 years to complete.

The Sydney Opera House took fourteen years to complete. Considered to be a modern masterpiece, it was the result of a competition and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II. It has also been featured in Star Trek as a hat.

The Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. Constructed between 1931 and 1936, during the Great Depression, it was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over 100 lives.

And so on and so forth

“So… Is that a yes?”
