- Marie Kondo, also known as Konmari, is a Japanese organizing consultant, author, and TV presenter. -- nm - Spawn googles, so you don't have to Feb 2, 13:19 6

  - who recently admitted that it is impossible to keep your living space tidy when you have small kids -- nm - rollo Feb 2, 13:22 3

- and let's be honest, even if you didn't have to introduce him as a pilot, it's all he's going to talk about anyway and you'll found out soon enough - colin Feb 2, 12:40 2
  - to be fair, this is probably really solid trolling, knowing that subreddit - colin Feb 2, 12:45 1
    - I don't really think it's plausible. For one thing, the question is what he does *for a living.* Even someone this idiotic should be able to admit - mara Feb 2, 12:58

  - How was the rewatch? -- nm - Dano Feb 2, 13:30 1
    - Heather *loved* it. She was so mad there wasn't a second season (she didn't know if aired a few years ago). For a show that had such a concentrated - prayformojo Feb 2, 13:31

    - (He's already got the sideburns.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 13:00
  - No, that’s Cate Blanchett. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:21
- What makes it unbelievable? He's already in one game, that seems to make it more plausible. -- nm - Max Feb 2, 12:14 22
  - You’ve played Bioshock, right? -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:18 11
    - Seen but not played, so I can't recall the characters well. -- nm - Max Feb 2, 12:19 9
      - Jack is like an early 20s Bautista - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:20 8
        
        aha, though looking up info maybe Keanu is an older version. What about Jonah Hauer-King for younger Jack? -- nm - Max Feb 2, 12:28 4
        
        I can’t say anything more here, but you should play the game. You in particular will admire the story. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:30 3
        
        yes. and its probably available pretty cheap at this point. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 12:31 2
        
        Heck, even I played it -- nm - JD Feb 2, 12:33 1

        "Okay, got it. We'll cast Tom Holland." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 12:22
        
        Yeah, I was about to say…isn’t hea but too 90210’ish to play that character? - Will Hunting Feb 2, 12:22
        
        Thinking out loud, he’s Brian Cage. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:22
    - Hey, I get this reference -- nm - JD Feb 2, 12:19
  - (movie) -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 12:14 9
    - I know, but given that he's been in a game it doesn't seem like a stretch to capitalize on that and put him in a video game movie. -- (edited) - Max Feb 2, 12:16 8
      - considering you almost never see what you look like in Bioshock, Im not sure why it is an issue. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 12:27 7
        
        Just because you don't see Gordon Freeman doesn't mean you can cast James Hong. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 12:38
        
        The movie isn’t gonna be first person. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:28 5

        god what a glorious awesome mess that movie is. - Jovian Feb 2, 12:32
        
        I would hope not! Otherwise why cast an A lister for that part. But I dont even remember the part where you see yourself? Ryan, Atlas and Fontaine are - Jovian Feb 2, 12:30 2
        
        What I’m saying is that the Netflix version will adopt the conventional protagonist narrative. So the Jack casting matters more followed by… - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:31 1
        
        Right I get that. Just unclear why you would dislike the casting based on the character from the game that you barely see. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 12:37
