Hi, last night I watched some TV and stumbeld upon an US-American movie of the last century (80s/90s I guess). In that parcticular movie firefighters were called to save a poor kitty from a tree. I realized I saw that type of scene in many US movies (more often in old ones) where the firefighters (or a superhero for example) get called to save cats from treebranches.
For me as a 20 something European this seems very unrealistic. I cannot recall any article or instance when firefighters in my country were called merely because of a cat in a tree. Is there anything/more to this cliche kind of scene or was it just a easy way to show the kindness of a superhero or the helpfullness of the protagonist in the movie? Is this still a common incident nowadays in the US or has it ever been?
Thx in advance!
Edit: As many people pointed out to me in direct messages and some comments cat saving operations from trees by firefighters are not that uncommon in Europe as well. My mistake - should've googled before. But why exactly this trope is so wide spread in mostly US movies and where it originates from is still in question. Thx again!
Iโm thinking of a number between 1 and 1000. Make your guess is the comments. One guess per person. The closest answer wins the codes. Contest closes Monday, November 22nd, 9:00PM CST. US only. Good luck and have fun!
Edit: Thank you to all who entered! This contest is now CLOSED. I would like to congratulate u/ironmanftww for guessing the closest number! They guessed 616, the answer was 595, a difference of only 21. Message me to receive your codes, if you donโt message me in a couple days Iโll try and reach out. Thanks again for playing!
Hello!
Iโm a dancer for the Brooklyn Nets and I got hit in the head with an air ball by Jevon Carter at the Nets vs Pacers game. I was walking off the court after a halftime performance. Iโm looking for a video of it. Mainly for laughs. Anyone have one??
Yal remember in chamber of secrets when Lucius Malfoy almost straight up murdered Harry Potter, not even 100 feet from his office? Like bro was about to fold a 12 year old right in front of one of the most powerful wizards alive
Thor Ragnorok. The Grandmaster melts his cousin in the beginning with a stick. Thor right next to him, as the cousin is melting, says, โugh! Theโฆthe smell!!โ The grandmaster then looks to his right hand woman and asks, โWhat does is smell like?โ She says, โBurnt toast.โ This tells me, he uses something that goes up his nose and damages nasal receptors. But itโs not conclusive. The other evidence. He has a โparty shipโ and itโs where he hosts his orgies. Sex and/orgies coincide with stimulants. Especially coke. On top of these two factors, coke is a drug typically used by those with money. The ruler of a planet has the money. Tell me why Iโm wrong! Or why else Iโm right! Iโm going to continue watching movies and looking for subtle drug use references and try to point them out just for shits and giggles. Love you all! And my drugs!

I have been enjoying seeing the results of the ratings posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/jcb2mz/star_wars_movie_ratings/
So I decided to use the ratings to calculate the Net Promoter Score of each movie. It takes Promoters and Detractors and balances them out to see the overall take on something. In the tech world, you want your product to have a positive NPS, but it is hard to achieve at times. I thought this would be interesting to see especially on the polarizing movies.
Only 5 movies have a positive score, and i was surprised at which movie came in last (I was expecting the Clone Wars)
When i grabbed the data there were ~500 responses on each movie
The results:
| The Empire Strikes Back | 81 |
|---|---|
| Star Wars | 56 |
| Return of the Jedi | 26 |
| Revenge of the Sith | 9 |
| Rogue One | 6 |
| The Last Jedi | -23 |
| The Force Awakens | -29 |
| Solo | -45 |
| The Phantom Menace | -51 |
| Rise of Skywalker | -61 |
| The Clone Wars (movie) | -63 |
| Attack of the Clones | -66 |
Thank you to u/FANIMATOR03 for posting the original forms for people to rate the movies.
Try to put as much detail in the actual post..itl catch my attention more. (No let's play please or Minecraft, not because I don't rate them, it's because I don't really know how to critique them)
If I add all my holdings in different exchanges I get the value of Total Performance? Why is the main graph Market Value + Net Proceeds? Net Proceeds appears to be zero but the sum of the two is a bigger quantity than Total Performance
