A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

Instead of reddit, why not talk about something more positive on your date, like how many tickets you are going to buy for my new movie, "Barbie", only in theaters July 21st?

Wait, Barbie™ ? The upcoming fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach? Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel? The first live-action Barbie film after many computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films? The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, respectively, alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell?

That's "Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie" to you!

Now wait a minute I came to get away from advertising but with well written synopsis how can I say no to seeing this movie.

July 21st

sorry babe, Pikmin 4 comes out that day. I'm busy 😎

You should buy tickets for your 4 Pikmins too!

Hello Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie (sometimes I get mistaken for you). Is it true you were cast in Barbie because you have plastic feet?

Nice try Quentin, you already got me once with "Once upon a time in Hollywood", you are not going to get me again.

C'mon it'll be fine, just drive that pink car with your plastic feet on the dashboard

Doubt she can beat Esteemed Character Actress Margot Martindale.

  1. So I can see it 4 times by myself.
[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why not buy an extra ticket for the seat next to yours every time, so you can have more seat room all to yourself?

Is this really Margot Robbie, Academy Award-nominated actress of upcoming blockbuster summer flick “Barbie”? If it is, wink twice.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Soon to be "Academy Award winning", wink wink

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Great to see such a talented star already participating on Lemmy! Even without seeing the movie, I know the Oscar’s as good as yours:) Good luck with the film, and I’ll definitely go see it in theaters with my SO (twice, even).

You should buy tickets for your 4 Pikmins too!

I got a wad of $100s that can sponsor this.

Are you ready to plow through your bucket of delicious popcorn and jumbo sodas?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You should see me feast... It's like a mantis

I'm really curious what happens with this account once the movie has had its run.

Seriously, what were you thinking? It had to be the money, right?

I get it, a gig's a gig!

None. Not going to watch it because it shows a map with China's nine dash line. China has been harassing our fishermen and coast guards here in the Philippines, in our own waters. The government is also planning to ban the movie.

I heard about this, but I really can’t find anything resembling that on the disputed frame. Like, it has to be there because a government probably checked it better than me, but where exactly?
