as someone who doesn't like polos I don't have a lot of options in the summer, so I generally just wear fitted plain t shirts since graphic Ts are generally speaking a travesty

plain shirts and stuff look totally great as long as they fit you correctly

I wear the button downs here and there

If you have to go to like an anniversary dinner where at least one person is planning on wearing a tie what would you go with?

if it's an anniversary dinner and someone's wearing a tie -- I don't know exactly how formal the place is, but depending on where it is it may be hard to avoid anything with buttons since that doesn't leave much.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Yeah, the options are either something buttony, slacks, and nice shoes, or a full suit.

 

[trab pu kcip]

bow tie > tie

 

[zeemumu]

I usually look like I'm going to a funeral when I dress semi formal because I wear a black button up shirt, black slacks, and black shoes.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Pffft, cravats beat both. #throwback

But seriously, I really prefer normal ties to bow ties.

 

[Jobbs]

You could put a blazer over vanilla slacks and a plain shirt or something and look presentable with minimal buttons

again, though, buttons are hard to avoid entirely

bow tie > tie

If someone's wearing a bow tie, unless they are *absolutely* awesome in every way, i just think it looks goofy. There's an incredibly high barrier of awesomeness to pull this off IMO.

I don't consider henleys or cardigans in the same group

tbh tho I think blazer+t looks a little tryhard without confidence and having decent physique

Took this pic on the coast of the lake. Windy evening

 

[zeemumu]

Working to get good enough at fighting games to go to EVO someday. I wonder if Beef is working his way through the ranks.

I'm oddly decent at Guilty Gear despite the moves and direction on the arcade cabinet in the game room being in Japanese.

 

[Nerdkiller]

So...anyone get Monster Hunter Generations yet?

 

[You Know Nothing]

'Cause I fuck with myself more than anybody else
It's all love
I used to care what you think about me
It's all love
'Cause my love so good
So I fuck with myself more than anybody else

After a few episodes of stranger things I think this may be my new favorite show

For now I'm becoming a hat person because this haircut's a little off.

[CrudeDiatribe]

What started this is I got a letter from my aunt and she was all "it's okay we love you no matter what".

My partner's grandfather did this to her because we aren't married.

bow tie > tie

OK Bill Nye/Doctor Who/Clown afficiando.

 

[Lucian Cat]

is it that guy's younger brother

Oh my god no. That'd be too creepy.

Also my post operative instructions were to not bend over today lest the blood pressure pop my sutures. My squatting game is on point haha. Gonna have buns of steel by the end of the day

 

[Vazra]

Tie can be used well for strip tease so I go with that.

 

[You Know Nothing]

The scandal.

 

[liliththepale]

I bought seven tickets for Suicide Squad today! I'm almost more excited for the August 4th premier than my brother's wedding next week haha.

Please post a pic so we can make a barbershop meme. Thanks.

What about something like this? I realize layering seems scary but the vest is pretty open and you can have a nice, breathable t-shirt underneath it.

Congratulations! I can't wait for that movie to come out.

And sadly this haircut is nowhere near worthy of a barbershop meme. It's a 6/10. Not good enough for me to like it but not bad enough to make fun of.

I'd say my look is closer to this if the pants were black

Are you gonna get tickets soon? It probably won't sell out, but I'm incredibly hyped for it so getting the tickets feels like progress.

And yeah, being in that limbo position is awkward. Only bad enough to be distracting to you. My hair is usually cut quite well, but it tousles a lot in my sleep and on some mornings I just don't have the time or attention to fix it.

Yeah, I just was trying to offer an alternative since you said no button-downs.

 

[Jobbs]

It was Misha who has the no button downs thing! 🐴

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

The scandal.

Indeed.

My surviving grandmother is a little beside herself as well. I had to take her clementines today since my mother is out of town. For a change I got to hear how wonderful my dad is (her son-in-law) and how awful my mom is. Everyone hopes she'll die soon.

I'm planning on getting tickets but I don't know when. For some reason my local theater wasn't selling tickets for Ghostbusters in advance and I'm planning on seeing that with my friends next week. After Ghostbusters is Light's Out. I don't know if it'll be good but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Did you hear about the movie The Woods? Supposedly it's a

Spoiler

stealth Blair Witch Project sequel.

My hair doesn't straighten out. I can either allow it to grow out again and do my afro/cornrows alternating look like I did for about 6 years, or cut it short like it is now.

I don't mind my funeral look. I look great in black

I caught a Magmar and hatched a Staryu!

I'm at the park with the dog, myself and a mate will go pick up copies shortly.

I think the new Magic expansion is out today as well.

Oh yeah huh. That's what I get for skimming the thread :O

That's an awful thing to hope for

Would it be too hard to just cut her out of your life? I had an uncle who was toxic to everyone and not receptive of help, so eventually we just stopped inviting him to things or trying to have him in our lives.

Oh, I think Justin's taking me to Ghostbusters tonight. I let him pick between that and Secret Life of Pets, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

I don't know if this is a controversial opinion, but I actually think

Spoiler

BWP

is a boring horror movie. I admire what it tried to do, but I didn't find it scary nor relatable nor enjoyable. I prefer something much more directed.

What would be your ideal haircut? Realistic or not?

Also, dressing in all black is really fun sometimes.

 

[zeemumu]

I'm at the park with the dog, muself and a maye will go pick up copies shortly.

I think the new Magic expansion is out today as well.

I just got into SOI and now I have to worry about a new expansion? Will I be able to find a deckbuilder's toolkit for the in the local Target on the day of release? Because I don't feel like braving the collectible shop right now.

 

[Jobbs]

I was a teenager when that came out, saw it, and was baffled by the hype it received. It's a steaming pile

 

[EatChildren]

I've got a lot of love for BWP. It scared the shit out of me as a kid, but I was caught up in the cultural phenomenon surrounding it, including the faux documentaries covering the incident that screened on TV. On reflection I think it's a masterpiece, but largely due to its cultural significance in cinema, and its attempt at convincing found footage narrative.

Though I think that's because with a majority of horror films I'm more fascinated by the ideas and themes they explore, and the emotions they conjure, particularly in their inventiveness of concepts, sets, editing, direction, etc than actually expecting to be scared. Like even typing this I can't think of many horror films that scare me, and the horror films I love I do so for other reasons. Though I guess that's horror, so broad and abstract as a genre, that it's really just about the unsettling emotional resonance and not always outright spooks.

I really like The Orphanage.

 

[zeemumu]

I enjoyed it for what it was. Seeing the threat actually kinda ruins it.

Ruined, I tell you!

Spoiler

The Devil Inside remains as my most hated horror film. When you end your movie on a cliffhanger and a black screen that says "For more information, visit YouPaidForThisMovieGoFuckYourself . org", you are dead to me.

Have no idea mate, I only play digitally.

Home video where they shake tbe camera a lot and expect you to be scared. Not worth the price of admission. 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

Almost couldn't believe it

 

[You Know Nothing]

I watched The Blair Witch Project a few years ago for the first time, and my reaction by the end was pretty much, "K then."

I really like the idea of found footage, and love BWP, but then there's stuff l Cloverfield which is a rich steaming turd so *shrug*

Horror is weird. Let's just watch Tetsuo.

Some films are able to make it work. I thought Grave Encounters did a great job.

The thing about found footage films is that you have to get creative because you no longer have a musical sting or cinematic shots to aid your scares. They have to make sense in-universe. There's a moment in Paranormal Activity 3 where the guy opens a door and there's no stinger sound so you just see a bunch of cult members turn and look at him. I thought that was a really good moment. That's also probably the only Paranormal Activity that I like.

 

[liliththepale]

Chronicle is the only good found footage movie.

 

[You Know Nothing]

[REC] is a great found footage horror film.

The English remake known as Quarantine ain't bad either. Although, it's largely a one to one copy save for being English and not Spanish.

Pretty sure that GIF is REC 2 but whatever.

And Quarantine decided that it would be a great idea to put the ending on the poster.

Yes 🔥

 

[zeemumu]

Chronicle is the only good found footage movie.

It's on my list of "Films I heard were good but haven't seen yet" right next to Super 8

 

[Fall Into The GAF]

I watched [REC] with headphones on. It really, really added to the tension of the movie.

 

[EatChildren]

Chronicle, like Cloverfield, is just too obviously choreographed, neat, and false in its found footage shtick for my liking. The prefer the noise of BWP.

But unlike Cloverfield, it's still a good movie.

 

[Jobbs]

The chrome guy made that fantastic 4 movie that everyone days is bad... is it? Everyone also says BvS is bad and I liked that far more than any of the marvel crap

 

[You Know Nothing]

The Descent tho.

Child that won't no found root movie

Chrome guy? You mean Rise of the Silver Surfer? No that's pretty bad. Galactus is a fuckin' cloud in that movie and Doom's still shit.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Child that won't no found root movie

Yeah, it just gives me a similar vibe I guess.

Everyone should watch it anyway.

 

[FloatOn]

The emoji in this thread is grossing me out.

Time to binge stranger things

[FUME5]

Time to hun some mon.

That Magic expansion hits on the 20th.
