Mystery Men

The most famous part of the movie was its soundtrack.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Holy, you weren't kidding.

I feel like it has more of "The Boys" vibe without the gratuitous violence.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I was thinking more of the bringing a team together that has conflicting personalities to fight a big bad while making snarky jokes along the way.

The Shovel? That just sounds like bullying bait, but I have seen a kid named Megatron, and that is indeed a badass name.

But Meg is relentlessly bullied by Peter. And he's the one who gave her the name!

It is more of a girl's name, traditionally.

I used to make a joke with friends back in highschool that if I ever had a kid I'd name them something like Bu62bil8 and just say it's pronounced "David" to mess with teachers.

Elon Musk must have heard me and thought I was being serious...

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't lie, you were once at a maturity level that you would have done that. Although unlike you, Elon is still at that level of maturity.

If I ever have son, I'm gonna name him... Bill or George, anything but Sue!

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I still hate that awful name!

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

In France during the Revolution we tried to have nice names not tied to saints. We then had a few names like Liberté (Freedom) or "Défenseur des droits" (Defender of the rights).

Also French speaking African people have some cool names like Bijou (Jewel).

Yeah, we're nicknaming that kid "The Hov".

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I had a son, I'd name him Bort. There's a reason why I'm not allowed to have children...

I'm all for names with some weight on them, but give the kid a normal name and just tell people, "We call him Kicker." Let the kid make up the story for why. Everywhere has a little line for 'prefers to go by' now, and you can avoid the problems (and don't try to say there aren't any) associated with names that don't fit the average idea of normal.

Fast forward 20ish years to a post in nominativedeterminism about someone named The Shovel being caught burying the bodies of his parents that he murdered
