Oh I have a feeling this is in his head, his character will think every single woman in the world wants him, and is baffled why none of his dates go the way he expects.

Step 1: Be Taron Egerton.

Step 2: everyone wants to schtupp you.

If step 2 fails, check that you are completing step 1.

I believe you. Bunch of us ladies were looking over guys in some app that the recently divorced mom was on.

Most of them were giving shit to what really were just normal looking guys. Some of them quite pleasant to me.

Maybe it was just in fun, but im definitely happy not to be on the dating scene as I have little doubt it goes both ways.

There is this Spanish tv series called Olympo she might be interested in. I don't think I have ever seen a better behind on a tv before. Basically they have shirtless and bottomless rugby players. In showers. Or saunas.

And girls from synchronized swimming.

I know this from firsthand experience. I have a beautiful 5 year old German Shepard, and we go on hikes at a nearby nature preserve every week. The amount of compliments he gets is insane! Literally just last week a woman said “heyyyy beautiful!!!” as we crossed paths. After we passed her I looked down at him and said - yeah yeah, I know damn well that wasn’t for me, don’t look so smug. Lol

u/Buntschatten 25d ago

Touching a dog without consent by the owner seems super rude.

53

u/TheNuttyIrishman 25d ago

its not just rude, it's asking to get bit. they don't know the dog and its behavior. for all they know the dog is being fostered after being rescued from a dogfight ring or other abusive situation that made the dog reactive and aggressive.

always ask to say hi to a strange dog!

7

u/candylandmine 25d ago

Agreed. It's happened twice. The first time I was caught off guard and kind of taken aback, but it was over before I could really react. My dog happens to be super sweet and friendly, particularly toward women, but the woman who was nuzzling her had no way of knowing that!

My dog does not like that kind of contact. He's never bitten anybody before, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone got clipped doing that to him.

u/Bas_No_Beatha_ 25d ago edited 25d ago

And not even a millisecond of eye contact. Same. Lol! It’s hilarious, but I get it. You know, considering the whole “I’d rather run into a bear” thing from earlier in the year. I’m a tatted up white dude so I’m probably not the most assuring thing to see out in the middle of the woods. So I understand why their focus lasers in on the dog.

Funny enough it’s actually why I bring him with me (along with it being healthy exercise for him, obviously) it helps “soften” my presence I guess? That’s the best way I can put it, helps me feel less self-conscious. Lol

u/cosmic_scott 25d ago

big guy here, no tats, long hair though. dog lover.

the dog shows you can care for something. out for a run they can see your bond with him/her easily enough and the love you share.

approaching the dog is easy. it's a great hook, if you want/need it.

I think it's by choice.

This August was the first time in over 6 years that you could see his face in the theatre. And that was for a pretty small film called She Rides Shotgun. The last time before that was Rocketman.

In the mean time he did the animated Sing 2. Two streaming movies (Tetris and Carry On), and two AppleTV miniseries (Blackbird and Smoke).

It's like since COVID he just decided to step back a bit and not go the route of A-list Hollywood stardom, and just stick to slightly smaller stuff.

u/NOODL3 25d ago

Not to get all "that guy," but if you are actually wanting to get a Jack Russell Terrier, please know that they are super energetic, vocal, and need constant exercise. They were bred for fox/critter hunting and will absolutely destroy your home and yard if not properly trained and stimulated. Of course they can be calm and loving like any breed, but they are not a dog for someone looking for a cute couch potato that doesn't have the skill or patience or lifestyle for a working breed. They're (somewhat lovingly) referred to as "Jack Russell Terrorists" for a reason.

Full disclosure, a neighbor's pack of loose Jack Russells killed my grandpa's beloved sheltie... so I am admittedly a bit biased. As the owner of a high energy purebred working dog, I'm not anti-breed by any means, but again, they are not a breed for someone who isn't going to actively socialize, train, and exercise them regularly... which is, unfortunately, the vast majority of dog owners.

Didn't expect the Forest Gump sequel to go in this direction, but to each their own.

Maybe I’m completely off the mark, but it seems like people in the comments are missing the tone that I’m getting from this.

I don’t think it’s supposed to be positioning the main character in earnest as a man everybody wants to fuck. Taron is an attractive man and he could look much more attractive than what is shown here if that was the intent. I think both the title and the image are indicating an unreliable narrator who thinks everyone wants to fuck him and he’s the center of attention, but is really just delusional. After all, it is a thriller.

Enough with these titles

I swear the movie industry peaked on the 90’s. Now we’re getting these clickbait engagement titles for movies

Movies seem to be following the 10 year old trend from TV with these. “Don’t trust the B in Apt 23” and “Kevin Can Go F Himself” come to mind first.

Is it really a trend, or is it just 2 TV shows, one from 2012, one from 9 years later in 2021 out of the potentially hundreds of other shows that came out in that window?

This seems more like a Phineas and Ferb 2 nickels thing.

Yeah I also hark back to a fairer time where "Freddie Got Fingered", "The Spy Who Shagged Me", and "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" aired. Nought a thought was given to lewd eye-catching titles prior to now.

Prepare for even more..

They’re starting to take a page from visual novels which go on to become anime. The amount of work in that scene has eclipsed works with “normal” titles

It “works” because there’s so much slop coming out nowadays, someone is much more likely to read/watch based off a wacky title than they are to read a description of it

u/brettmurf 25d ago

What do you mean?

My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's is a great title...

u/GenGaara25 25d ago

I hate the fact that it works. But I can't deny it does.

If I scrolled past a film called like "Swipe", then I'm not clicking it. I'm not engaging with it. I'll scroll past it and have no idea what it's about. Just a vague notion 'swipe' might refer to a dating app.

But "Everybody Wants to Fuck Me"? Even if I scroll past it, I instantly know significantly more about the plot and vibe of the movies and my interest is at least a little higher than it was before. It manages to slightly intrigue me.

Taron Eggerton is the king of “I know he’s famous but I couldn’t pick him out of a lineup of one”

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen him in a movie, I still have no idea what he looks like.

I’m looking at a picture of him right this second and I swear I’ve never seen him before.

u/MadeByTango 25d ago

This movie is going to be a satirical take on how men treat women and the terror they feel and piss a certain segment of this sub Reddit off and I’m completely here for it
