Random Thought of the Day

PSA: That's Just How Josh Segarra Talks!

I don't know if it's just Reddit's Al Gore Rhythm trying to get under my skin, but I've seen a lot of the "we can?t trust the new people" posts talking about how part of their distrust in Manny is how he speaks and emotes. Anyone who has seen him as the great and powerful good boi Lance Arroyo over on The Other Two (a great show in which he is the sole truly kind and empathetic character) or The Big Door Prize is gonna be aware of this, and I?m sure they?re probably just as bummed out about seeing so many people talking about how his way of speaking is a cause for concern.

So, this is just a post to say: that's just how the actor talks. It's not Quinta Brunson and Josh Segarra creating a character who talks some specific way to convey that you shouldn't trust him or something - he just sounds like that.

tbh i don?t understand why ppl don?t trust him he seems like he?s really trying 😭 maybe it's bc i?ve had friends who talk that way so i'm used to it and it doesn't seem sketchy or anything but manny seems so sweet

I was actually googling to see if he was deaf. I've never come across someone who speaks like that but it vaguely reminds me of some deaf people but more subtle. Or like some other cognitive thing.

I don't know what they're talking about lol. Probably just because Barbara said she didn't trust him/them before.

Anyway apparently not.



I feel like it's less obvious in this video than on the TV show though. But I don't want to end up watching spoilers. I'm only on episode 1 of season 3.

is it just me or does his accent sound like jason?s from the good place

I don't think so? I watched that years ago and don't remember questioning if he was deaf.

Also for some reason I thought he was on the TV show Single Parents. But that's Jake Choi. Wow.



It wasn't a perfect TV show but it's a shame it got cancelled since I liked a bunch of the characters.





They don't really look alike but I watched Single Parents years after watching The Good Place and don't think I thought about it much. The characters are kinda similar.

Also yeah I guess Manny does sound a bit like Josh Segarra?

His accent is fine, it's just that he talks slowly or weirdly spaced out sentences

yeah

Must be a Floridian himbo dialect

...

It's a comedic choice. He does the same thing in The Other Two and that?s probably why they cast him in the first place or even wrote the character with him in mind.

It's not a funny voice.

This has not been very informative and I think there is no answer lol. I was just curious anyway.

I should rewatch The Good Place one day lol:



"Did you bring the cocaine I asked for?"

"Catch that magic panda use her powers. Oh I'm guessing that was Jason?"

"That guy has no idea what's going on."

[Nyctophilia]

Insane that he got him on his podcast (not podcast lol stream whatever):

Great to see Hasan collabing with a smaller streamer

If a women has short hair (few inches above shoulders or shorter) or a guy has long hair (shoulder length or longer but well taken care of) is it a deal breaker for you? How much of your decision on if you would date someone or not comes from their hair? I know it will be different for everyone, but I would like to see some opinions.

I was actually looking for a support group for people who are almost exclusively into long hair on men...

Sometimes guys start dating hot women and cut their hair and I'm like you were supposed to be the chosen one (hot women,) why would you do this to us peasants? Biphobia tbh. No lol.

I say sometimes I've seen that happen once lol and prob a coincidence.





😭

(The haircut had nothing to do with him lol. He just had great crying emoji hair.)

Also I have period cramps right now and more Human (soft) emotions which is weird (happens sometimes when I'm on my period.)

Definitely seems like you're one of the few that like that length of hair on a guy haha. I have long hair myself, and I definitely seem to get less attention than when I had shorter hair

Oh my god this guy bakes cookies too. Wait they look like brownies or something (I thought cookies were biscuits in the US,) they're rainbow coloured. That's so cute though.

Lol wtf this guy looks like the protagonist of a CW TV show or something (someone suggested Tom Welling) I don't think he has to worry about hair much.

The rules of this subreddit are both funny and weird....

No Sexualizing.

Sexualizing is not allowed and will result in a permanent ban.

No extreme simping

This subreddit is for advice, extreme simping is prohibited.

Edit: I'm technically sexualising from a distance. Na na na.

This is the weird part:

No posting if you're an under 18 female.

This is not meant to be a sexist rule. This rule is in place due to the nature of the internet. This rule applies only for females that are under 18.

Why only females who are under 18?

Anyway I think that guy is insecure about his appearence. Lots of posts looking for reassurence. which is kind of insane because he looks like some famous actor.

I guess I can't say I'm attracted to him physically though (he has cute interests) but he looks conventionally attractive. I just like guys with a less Hollywood vibe basically. He's also out of my league anyway haha. So doesn't matter what I think.

I think he's insecure partly because he's in his 20s and using online dating sites.

He had a post concerned about his plant too. It's so cute when people look after plants.

Let your beard grow for a few days and cut your hair. You have a good jawline and potential hunter eyes

This is terrible.

OK I'm going to stop looking now lol.

I was curious. It's so cute when guys bake though.

OK all the stuff that comes up when searching is just guys who are asking about their hair or hair length. Someone also said all the guys in his school with girlfriends had long hair which probably isn't true or an exaggeration.

I don't think I'm going to find the support group =P

[Nyctophilia]

Edit: Tangentially related but IDM (intelligent dance music,) has to be the most protentious music genre label of all time lol.

I seperated this into a different post because otherwise other post will get too long (I have a lot of opinions just imagining how cancelled I'd be in this and the last post alone lmfao):

They're talking about Kelli former lead singer of Sneaker Pimps:

Kelli is the reason we know about this band. And love this band. Period.

Kelli is the reason this band was on the verge of becoming huge, and firing her is the reason they didn't.

Honestly no lol. I'm just into Chris. Her singing isn't terrible but it's not amazing. I couldn't really ever see them becoming huge especially since the other guys were less motivated so Chris left to do solo work after a couple more albums anyway.

They came back to do an album 20 years on (not with Kelli again,) and I listened to a few tracks from it and couldn't get into it even though I liked a bunch of stuff from their first three albums (with Kelli and without.) A few people pointed out that it sounded like IAMX songs:

I have to concur. I was like "The [BEEP]?? this is IAMX in disguise, I am NEVER gonna like that shit", but, I don't know if it's my Sneaker Pimps bias or whatever, even though it doesn't feel like what we would expect from them, this is AN EVOLUTION OF SNEAKER PIMPS. We can't expect them to be the same, and, as long as their new songs manage to maintain the feeling that this song conveys in its lyrics and PERFORMANCE, I am all in!
Granted, I have to hear the whole album to see if it's just a couple of good singles but, after this and "fighter" I have HIGH HOPES. Remember how much of a perfectionist Corner is!

But most of those tracks don't and they sound worse lol. But given that's what Chris has been doing since then it makes sense that they'd sound closer than the original albums did.

I'd take this over most of what I was listening to:







I think he's probably very difficult to work with too.

That being said I like her vocals more than Kelli's personally:



Comparison:





Kelli's voice is OK like I said but you know what it is? On some tracks she's kind of like the female Tom Delonge. If you focus on her too much she sounds whiny and a bit grating:



Even he gets it.

Those kind of vocals work better in pop punk or a band like Jack off Jill I think because if you're not a strong singer it kind of goes with the ethos of the music (I can tell she had the personality/attitude for that too):





But I'm not sure about in trip hop. Because I think it sounds better with a huskier or more sophisticated sounding voice. Something that works better with the noir vibe...

I would get shot by someone on reddit etc for making this comparison. But obviously this album was inspired by trip hop a bit:



Or you know:





Chris did work with Imogen Heap later actually lol but with IAMX:



Or:






"If you leave I'll have to listen to those NYU kids with the Amstel Lights discuss Fiona Apple. I'm begging you."

Yes! Yes you will Steve. And I'll be drinking Rekorderlig maybe.



You know I didn't realise this YouTuber looks a bit like Dido until this moment. Soft butch Dido:



Or they're just both white I don't know either way.

They got it that's why they used this Dido song for their intro:



And that's very much the vibe you know like:



That's why that song is one of the biggest in the genre.

This too but it was used for the soundtrack of House (though that's kind of an argument in favour anyway, but the genre was cinematic in the first place so it sort of makes sense):



Something like this but with Fiona Apple or Dido etc:



I like Chris's vocals though.





Rachel Goswell maybe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ey4yAgLZlw

Ethereal sounding stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suZWmWjv6co

Oh damn I forgot how great David Tennant was in this role + the character just one of the best villains I've come across in years in that he was believable as a psychopath and actually unsettling and most really aren't in comic book films/TV shows (partly because there's more focus on the victims and the impact of the actions I think,) the ending of the first season is very satisfying. But also the vocals here:



Probably something like that.

Actual song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wylkSUS9Ofs

Kelli was very girlish - her voice, her persona, it's great for pop punk.

Having said that I think Bjork could do trip hop. But you know it's Bjork and her persona is like pixie alien more than girlish. And she's like what Kelli should be as a soprano in that genre I think. Also Of Monsters and Men are Icelandic too and I'm just realising the lead singer also kind of looks like Bjork a little in some photos lol.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp6tAcjq0N0

Also I forgot she was in a relationship with Tricky at one point lol.

Yeah:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVR6rKyxkwQ



Unfortunately pop punk never really took off in the UK so that wasn't an option for Kelli here.

A lot of people are singing in the wrong genre for their voice imo (but I get it if you really like a music genre.) Like (said this way too many times) Fergie was supposed to be a rock singer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X85UUDhZaCw

I still like what she brought to The Black Eyed Peas though but that still would have been the ideal for her voice and sometimes she was underutilised.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7HahVwYpwo

They experimented a lot more and incorporated more genres into their work than a lot of their contemporaries which was why they were interesting:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtczBseiAac

I mean they're still making music but yeah. Obviously doesn't have the nostalgia factor among other things.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWyGH5aAoMg

This is a very good track. Potentially I feel like it could have been great if they did more with Fergie somehow but then again she was just hit by a motorbike so you know:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUFsQ5lTo6g

Fergie. You are not a rapper so that's eh OK in small doses but not the entire track and then the autotune vocals no stop I know it's electronic and you're trying to do Daft Punk but at what cost and William stop trying to sing during that one part 3:52 as well it's better at 8:18 also proof that you don't need the autotune. Oh I'm not anti autotune at all but I don't think it works that well for me here.

Other than that it's a good track.

Amazing how easy it is for me to get derailed by music...

[Nyctophilia]

All those artists who created odd, weird and socially fringe (albeit interesting) stories in the 90s....turned out to be odd and weird and perverse. Who could have foreseen?!

Checking into where the goth author Poppy Z Brite ended up was a wild ride...

Oh yes the trans guy is/was the wild one...

I do not agree with everything Starmer has done, but if he actually manages to build build build and overcome all the NIMBYs, I'll be impressed.

Seriously, screw the NIMBYs, the answer can't always be no, we need new homes built we don't have enough, the airport expansions and giving approval for Universal would be great for growth. We can't keep stagnating because the NIMBYs come in and complain that things aren't staying exactly the same.

Also Gov.Uk app with the virtual drivers license and single sign-on for all government services is a good idea, I shouldn't need to have sixty million logins across different government departments, and it'd be also nice if updating my address with one of them updates it with everyone else and I don't have to spend a stupid amount of time updating each of them in turn whenever I move house.

[Otherside]

Managing to negotiate British Telecom down on my broadband renewal from my current ?37 to ?27 feels a success.

I mean, it's still a bit more expensive than the ?24 Vodafone were offering, but, I honestly CBA with the faff of switching supplier. Also, Vodafone have rubbish reviews.

[Nyctophilia]

Honestly thinking about it The Good Place really is a genius piece of television. Trying to avoid spoilers but the surrealness and sense of something being wrong is exactly what it feels like here (on Earth or at least Western culture.)

I'm sure I'll have more thoughts about this later.

I think it's the same vibe that led to simulation theory and gnosticism though (with archons keeping you here.) Well The Good Place was probably inspired by Gnosticism since a lot of works (especially recently) have been. The Matrix definitely was.

I watched that show years ago lol but I just rewarched some clips recently on YouTube so it's been on my mind.

[Nyctophilia]

"Looksmaxxing for women"

Isn't that just instagram? Does it even need a funky name like that when it's just the status quo for most women lol?

No I think I know what this is about. There's a lot of women floating around like this now it's basically like designed to spite/abuse men.

When you realise these psychopaths are who the redpill guys are dating lol you realise why they're stuck in a never ending feedback loop.

But more specifically what these people (men and women,) usually do is to they charge heterosexual people to teach them how to abuse the opposite sex. But they don't tell you that obviously lol. It's self improvement.

On the surfact it looks like overpriced self help that only a moron or someone very desperate would buy and then it's actually even worse than that most of the time. Somehow.

I'm not talking about the specific examples in this video I haven't finished watching but in general what I've seen.

I've been saying this for years: I could be a millionaire in six months. All it takes is not having a conscience.

Mm I think at the very least most people could make more money than they are online by simply having no standards. Sucks.



Including Logan or whatever his name is "Something Paul" in that thumbnail is wild lol. But there are a lot of tech bros in that sphere of course.

Brianna Wu annoys me lol. Please don't bring her up. Everytime I forget about her existance again... I didn't like her back during gamergate either though as she's always been hypocritical and had this same attitude most people just didn't notice because she said she was getting harassed.

I doubt Elon was trying to do a nazi salute. I think he was just captured in an awkward moment while moving. It's besides the point and a distraction of an argument though as he passively agrees with all kinds of batshit tweets on twitter including antisemitic conspiracy theories:



That's the rest:

Okay.

Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest [BEEP] now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.

You want truth said to your face, there it is.

This is an interesting observation to him:



In reality most people engage in groupthink and he formulates his viewpoints like this:

1. "do women and "low t men" agree with this?" (if yes then he disagrees.)

2. "will this make me look cool to nerdy teenage boys?"

More importantly (and related to point 2,) he seems to pay people to play video games for him.

I'm probably never going to shut up about the video game thing now because it's hilarious and I want someone to manipulate him into trying to beat my speedrunning highscore for Spyro 120% run (about 3 hours it's pretty far from a world record lol which is about 1 hour and 20 minutes something but not a lot of people have bothered so it's top few hundred,) but then failing. Cause I don't suppose he's played that game much. Maybe not at all. He didn't grow up in the 90s lol and it's mostly a nostalgia game for people who did along with other platformers I would say.

That was a simpler time.

This has nothing to do with the rest of this post but:

I think you saved my life. My dad wanted to give me weed and shrooms when I was 14. But I had seen your videos and I understand I am vulnerable to addiction. I said no because I knew it wouldn't end well. Your videos made me understand addiction and ED. Thank you so much for still posting and talking about important things. It means a lot to me and a lot of other people!

That's insane.

[Nyctophilia]

I never really paid attention to the specifics of Mel Gibson's various controversies (though I was vaguely aware,) but he seems about as crazy as I would have imagined. This is by far the worst though:

In 1985, Gibson was named the "Sexiest Man Alive" by People, the first person to be named so.[246][247]

Nope. Fake news lol.

Lol I'm doing Abby Shapiro:

"No. Incorrect."

That was her take on Harry Styles and men in dresses being attractive. But it's funnier if you hear her say it. That section starts at 13:25:



"The first thing I want to talk about today is something that kind of went viral on twitter and that is Harry Styles in a dress."

"It's 2020 anything can happen I guess."

🤣

I don't know who I'd go for in that year though. Definitely not him. If I was young then I would definietly have been into some musician because musicians > actors overall. That wasn't the best year for Geddy Lee's hair so I can't just go with him. I wasn't born then so it's harder to answer.

This is very important.

Oh right. I guess:





He has glitter =D

I'm kind of over it (not the music obviously the music is great,) but I was very into Andrew Eldritch in 2016 or 2015 (one of those years,) so unless I remember someone else.

I was listening to this on New Years:



And this (like at midnight hahaha. It was my choice. I felt like being random):



When did David Sylvian have this hair?



I've seen some photos from 1985 where he has short hair and it doesn't look as good. So I dunno.

I was looking to Japan because obviously they were also influenced by glam rock aesthetics and androgyny and it was hard to find stuff from that year. The lead singer of Buck Tick didn't have peak hair back then it seems and Sugizo:

Years active 1986-present

(He also prob looked better later.)

You really let me down dude. The whole planet really because now People's magazine's sexiest man alive from 1985 is Mel Gibson because wikipedia says you didn't really exist before 1986.



I actually prefer Luna Sea (Sugizo is also in Luna Sea but I think he is most famous for his work in X Japan but I haven't listened to X Japan somehow lol):







^ I feel like I remember watching a different music video with this track initially but no idea what now.

I haven't heard most of their music but they're very good.

I love how they invented 【ｖａｐｏｒｗａｖｅ】too (that's a joke):



OK nevermind I stand corrected he is not best known for X Japan (cause you know wikipedia is God):

Yūne Sugihara (Japanese: 杉原有音, Hepburn: Sugihara Yūne), born Yasuhiro Sugihara (杉原 康弘) and better known by his stage name Sugizo, is a Japanese musician, songwriter, composer and record producer. He is best known as the lead guitarist and violinist of the rock band Luna Sea since 1989.

I swear X Japan is more famous though? I dunno.

OK I'm really misinformed I thought he joined X Japan ages ago nevermind:

Sugizo started his solo career in 1997 and has since collaborated with a variety of different artists. He formed the psychedelic jam band Shag in 2002, the rock duo The Flare in 2004, and the electronica duo S.T.K (Sensual Technology Kooks) in 2005. In 2007 he became a member of the international trance/world music act Juno Reactor, and of the Japanese rock supergroup S.K.I.N. Sugizo officially joined the rock band X Japan in 2009, and became a member of the supergroup The Last Rockstars in 2022.

Like I say I never listened to them they're just very famous and get brought up as an influence by a lot of visual Kei musicians and other Japanese musicians sometimes.

Oh my God the cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are on Abbot's Elementary playing the same characters. I figured the tone of that show was probably too mature for this. I get it though it's Philadelphia. Also that means these shows are in the same universe that's great.

Edit: Yeah the tone was notably very different lol. Also for some reason Dennis is barely in the episode (as he's avoiding the cameras, the show is a mockumentary.) I guess it was probably too many characters to juggle or something for a 20ish minute episode but it would have been funnier if he was.

Jacob also almost says 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' but the last word is cut off lol. Yes slow clap. Well done.

Oh OK apparently there is a reason why he wasn't in most of the episode.

In last week's Abbott Elementary episode "Volunteers," the highly anticipated introduction of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia characters to the Abbott universe, Dennis Reynolds ducked out of the storyline in one of the earliest scenes because he didn’t consent to being filmed -- at least, not by ABC cameras.

Despite the nervousness of both Abbott Elementary fans and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia stans leading up to the first part of the crosstown comedy crossover, critics and audiences agreed that "Volunteers" was a spectacularly successful merging of two very different Philadelphian sitcoms with two very different tones. Thankfully for both sides of the sitcom collaboration, the Paddy's Pub Gang managed to spend an entire week at an elementary school without committing any heinous crimes (that we know of) and the broadcast TV censors of ABC didn't dull the edge of the Always Sunny assholes one bit.

I wouldn't say spectacular but considering the limitations (time wise and rating wise,) it wasn't too bad.

Imagine if they referenced this scene lol (but they couldn't because of the rating + tone):



Charlie: "You know we're not racist."

"I'm gonna have a really hard time if we're both cannibals and racists"

Single greatest line I've ever heard in my life

"Cannibals and racism Dee? That's not for us. Those are decisions that are best left for the suits at Washington."

Is pretty great too.

However, in the days following the crossover launch, Always Sunny fans expressed their outrage that "Volunteers" was missing something gilded and deific -- Glenn Howerton was conspicuously absent from almost every scene, including the talking heads segment in the closing credits that featured all four of his bar mates. Now, Abbott Elementary producers are finally ready to admit why they omitted the Golden God from the episode in a feeble attempt to avoid the Hammer of Thor:

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Abbott Elementary executive producer Patrick Schumacker explained that, while some viewers assumed that Howerton played hooky during "Volunteers" because ABC bristling at the "implication" of having Dennis present in a public school, the real reason why Mac, Charlie, Dee and Frank took up most of the screentime allotted to the guest stars was a decidedly mundane scheduling difficulty.

...

"Glenn (Howerton) had a show that he is a series regular on called Sirens,” Schumacker explained of Dennis' in-demand status in real life. "It’s the Netflix show, and it was shooting in New York. He flew in specifically to work on this and had to fly back. We had him for half a day, so we had to build that in."

Ah damn. Guess that's why then.

Just as we expected, FX will make up for Dennis' absence during "Volunteers" by centering the second half of the crossover around his skulking exploits. Presumably, Dennis’ time with the film crew will yield some terrifying results -- even if Dennis isn’t on camera, when you’re in his lair, you’re always being filmed.

Ohh so there's an episode on It's Always Sunny too? I was wondering. I've only watched a couple of seasons (plus tons of other clips on YouTube but in sequence,) of that so I'd have to watch a lot to get to that episode. Could just watch it on it's own if it's disconnected from the rest of the show's story though.

This is such a weird timeline lol:



Steven what are you doing?

Sometimes I forget how British Steven is…

This is very somehow.

Actual brutal facts.

Lol.

According to who ?

Tch:



LiStEn To ThE HaRmOnY CoDeX

I didn't realize it until now, but I feel like I kind of want Steven Wilson to hit me with a daily series of "gee whiz"-style science facts, accompanied by a drumroll.

I'd prefer this but it's pretty funny:



It's funny because he's not that much older than Eminem but he speaks like he's ancient and that's why he can't comprehend Eminem. Steven is a vampire confirmed:



Also speaking of 'Actual Brutal Facts' aside from Index that track is probably the closest he's ever come to hiphop/rapping lol.

Maybe that channel that was making the fan videos that I forget the name of can make another one with the drum fact clip though I feel like it would fit in.

Lol I just re-watched this video and realised there's some guy whose comment is in this who thinks that Naruto and Sasuke shipping isn't a thing because he used them to compare to the other ship she's talking about. He thinks people are silent about them. I've not watched Naruto and I don't ship them but even I know that pairing was huge (probably still is because it's one of those popular gateway shows. Though personally I think Death Note is prob better for that.) If you go on AO3 there's 16,867 'sasunaru' fanfics and 59.7k (so like 59-60,000) on fanfiction.net. He's definitely not a millenial to have not noticed.







But more importantly:



My favourite Naruto character is David Bowie sama sensei senpai sensei sama senpai sama.

Barbara: "Janine. Melissa's students are also black."

Melissa: "Yeah and they killed it. You've got the only white student in the school how'd he do?"

Janine: "Also very poorly but maybe the cultural bias is in the teaching. Like you subconciously taught them your whiteness and now they're thinking whitely."

I lowkey kinda wish April and Tammy 1 had more screentime together, they had so much potential

I'm still sad their make out scene got cut because "two women kissing" was too inappropriate for tv.

Well if it was scandalous that Andy is twice her age, it sure would be scandalous for a woman who's like twice ANDY's age to be making out with her.

Did I read about this before? I'm getting dejavu so I think I did. I can't believe that was even planned. Definitely Aubrey's idea lol. I remember she also kissed the actor that played Jerry on some show with the cast lol...

yeah. Aubrey and Nick talked about it on his and Megan's podcast a few years back

I really should start watching more podcasts.

I personally only ship people who are incredibly unpopular and is an idea that occurs to basically no one though, which is why I was contemplating her with Tammy II not Tammy I. Also Ann but that's more obvious and more people ship that.

Leslie and Tammy II makes more cannonical sense though just because of that one scene where they're fighting in the dumpster and Tammy II is 'into it' lol... But Leslie would never reciprocate.

I doubt that was the reason it was cut though, since there had been various female couples on TV before that including kissing.. And that was one of the later episodes that Tammy I popped up in so it would have been into the 2010s by that point. Also she'd been with Andy since the second season? Or the third so not much opportunity really.

I mean biphobia extended far beyond general homophobia on TV and there were characters they didn't want to make bisexual who were supposed to be bisexual in the 2000s. Though April was in a relationship with two guys at the beginning of the show who were also in a relationship and at least one of them was not explicitly bisexual. It was portrayed pretty casually and she'd make out with both of them at parties etc... I can see why they wouldn't want to go back though since it was implied she'd 'moved on from that period of her life' but it's not like it would be out of character per se. I just don't think she would ever cheat on Andy, so you'd have to find some weird way to explain it.

So yeah I couldn't see it happening really because she's too committed to Andy which for a character that was based on Aubrey is probably kind of a waste because you're limiting the potential chaos a lot for one and also because she has too much chemistry with women.

Remember what happened in that Christmas film where everyone ended up shipping her character with Kristen Stewart's instead of the main couple:

She replied: "I wanted it too. I'm not gonna lie. I wanted it too. I wanted it very badly, but I didn't write the thing, and I didn?t direct the thing. I just showed up, did my job and got out of there."

Plaza continued to say that she's "not giving up hope for Riley," adding: "I think that she's got a bright future ahead."

Aubrey no.

DuVall also addressed the backlash during a discussion with Elle.

"Aubrey Plaza is amazing. She's such a babe. I don't blame anyone for wanting to see more of her, but I think the debate is less about the film and more about your philosophy on forgiveness and growth," she said.

"You don't go through a hard couple of days after a long period of time, meet a stranger, and cut and run. Even if that person is Aubrey Plaza."

Having not seen the film I don't really know why she was there at the party in the first place since she was another character's ex. Also Alison Brie is in that film too lol. The ratio of attractive brunettes is really high.

Wait Alison Brie made out with Aubrey Plaza in another film? I was just thinking I couldn't really ship their characters in that film since Alison's character was straight (presumably) lol. One of the main character's sister.

The YouTube video is age restricted...





No lol.

Also yes that film came out years ago and I'm only just learning about it.

Baena said that "the film is rooted in the expectation versus reality trope", which forms the basis for the main plot as well as other elements. One of these sub-plots - in which Amber (Brie) "had more sparks with Kat" (Plaza) than Nick (Nivola) - was added to the story when Baena and Brie noticed that Plaza's chemistry with the main character in another film (Happiest Season) was unexpectedly more popular than that of the character's love interest, and felt that Plaza could bring the same to Spin Me Round. As well as contributing to the theme of subverting expectations, Baena wanted to write a complicated character for Plaza to play as neither simply villain or victim.[5]

Totally the same wave length.
