Yeah that movie was really cute

#

Highest grossing animated movie of all worthy? Nah

But really cute

I think people were hungry for a classic Pixar movie and it launched at the right time

Amazing film

Turning Red is also really cute so far but I cannot believe Disney funded this

Nosferatu is something i wanna rewatch multiple times

I have so much to say about it but i wanna rewatch to see if i missed anything and if my understanding and interpretation is correct

#

I thought I was in games and you were talking about the game

boreal vale
main lion
#

do you hate all disney movies that you used to love

boreal vale
#

Sonic 3 ||no because they're charming and they have more than 2 good characters||

#

Sonic 3 ||Carried by eggman again, so much so that they added eggman 2||

#

Sonic 3 ||Or I suppose eggman 1||

main lion
#

sonic 3 || every character is good uwu And its very charming. ||

As far as the recent videogame movies go

Sonic 3 > Mario > Sonic 2 > Sonic 1

boreal vale
#

I agree with the ranking

main lion
#

sonic 1 is ok, sonic 2 is good, mario is very good, sonic 3 is great

boreal vale
#

Sonic 3 ||The main 3 are so non-charming though||

#

Sonic 3 ||The coffee guy i forgot the name of was good and his stuff with eggman is always funny, and I'm glad they killed eggman and shadow (maybe)||

main lion
#

Sonic 3 || in order, eggman > shadow > sonic > knuckles > stone > tails > tom WAKAINU All of them are good. And all of them except for tom are charming||

#

sonic 3 ||also I did the leo point many times this film. They gave sonic adventure 2 a LOT of love here. The first of the 3 movies thats a fairly close adaptation of the games||

boreal vale
#

Sonic 3 ||I will say, I enjoy that they adapted SA2 more accurately, especially because the first one was like a fish out of water type story and that's not so much what I want from the blue blur||

#

Sonic 3 ||My main point anyway is that I'm sick of people swearing up and down that these movies are really good, and when the next one comes out people say the previous wasn't that great but the new one is||

main lion
#

sonic 3 ||people like all of them. People arent saying that 1 and 2 arent good lol. And 3 is a great movie. Genuinely lol. The double eggman is not a point against it either. This is maybe my favorite jim carrey performance of any of his movies tbh. ||

boreal vale
#

Sonic 3 ||I do like the double eggman, easily the best part of the movie is them being stupid||

#

Sonic 3 ||I also did not like Keanu as shadow, but shadow overall was enjoyable||

main lion
#

sonic 3 ||he did well as shadow imo tbh. He voice acted it enough that it wasnt 1:1 keanu. But it was still close. Shadow was great though.

Idk man, there were so many great sequences in the entire movie. The helicopter drop all the way to the end of the chase sequence with the akira slide and then shadow just standing on the bike was insane lol. ||

#

sonic 3 ||movie is great. Sonic could not exist, this movie could come out as the first ever sonic media, and I'd probably still think its great||

boreal vale
#

Sonic 3 ||Most of the action is cool and it goes very quickly, also the best of the 3 movies, my main gripes were more with the emotional stuff and the main 3's personality||

#

Sonic 3 ||I'm glad having had seen it, which idk if I'd say that for mario, so that's good||

main lion
#

sonic 3 ||I do like their game personalities more (except for maybe tails as the exception as of late). But I think for a movie like this their game personalities would not have worked. And of their options for new personality options, I think they made the right choices. Some of Knuckles' jokes don't land, but most of them are endearing enough. Tails is just game personality tails but with more agency. Sonic is a take on early 3d sonic's personalities with the quips dialed up to 11 and making them intentionally cheasier/less cool. ||

Sonic 3 + 4 + Sonic IDW ||My predictions for how Sonic 4 will play out after the Sonic 3 post credits along with Jim Carrey willing to return for Eggman once again will play out like one of the IDW Sonic Comic plots + Sonic 4 will be a reference to Sonic Heroes||

Fargo (1996) Review

||Fun movie! Def a Coen brothers type of comedy with the touch of Minnesotan charm. Thought it was shot beautifully, the writing was strong and ofc Frances McDormand is sensational as Margie. Love the show and wanted to check this out and wasn’t disappointed.||

Dunkirk: Done ✅ .
3.5/5

#

Dunkirk || I felt like the movie point was trying to impress you with war visuals, and how war can be scary, however, I didn't feel there was real stakes in the movie, only random npc's dying, ofc, other than the guy in the boat. Also, it didn't feel like there was a story to tell, it is more like a big sequence of event trying to be displayed for the viewer to impress them as I stated before. I liked the visuals, I liked most of the actors, except Harry Style (why tf is he acting), thus this movie get 3.5/5, so far the least rated Christopher Nolan Movie for me||

there is only Openheimer and Tenet that I haven't watched yet. tho they are on watchlist.

The Terminator (1984) mini review

||I love T2 so much I forget how good this film actually is. Arnold is great, Linda is great and the main trio bring so much energy to the movie. You can feel Sarah's character progression through every scene, from timid waitress to badass mother of the future. I also love how in this movie they have to be smart to defeat the T800, instead of relying on brute strength since T800 has plenty of it. Amazing movie can't wait to rewatch T2 with my gf||

The Glory Episode 11 ||Son-a's mother being strong and willing to stand the violent abuse of her husband made cry man. And now the husband is in play with the whole revenge debacle. So tempted to watch the last set of episodes right now, but I must withhold. This show has slowly been winning me over, even though it's a vengeance story. Moon has been winning by not only having a stable and great career, but also destroying Yeon's greedy lifestyle step by step. And it's been glorious to see.||

The Way of Kings, page low 800s ||Please, don't spoil anything for me, but I did want to give my thoughts on something. The Jasnah/Shallan storyline is my favorite so far, and I'm at the point where she just turned the ardent down, and supposedly plans to leave tomorrow (I'm guessing she won't). I'm actually stuck wondering what will happen because there are probably numerous possibilities. But, for some reason, my mind keeps going to "Jasnah knows Shallan stole the soulcaster and is intentionally saying nothing and will actually confront her about it because she is clever and has probably figured out the truth about Shallan's family and her father's whereabouts through some unforeseen deductive reasoning." I'm probably very wrong, but that's what my gut is telling me . Also, my favorite parts of the story so far have been: 1. Shallan sketching uknown figures behind the king that freaked her out. 2. Dalinar experiencing a vision of the past with what I believe are the Lost Radiants and Voidbringers (the one where he's inhabiting the body of a man trying to keep that man's wife and daughter safe.). Apologies if I got names or worldbuilding details wrong, it's a huge book.||

The Way of Kings ||Oh, I like it quite a bit! I'm not as big on reading his backstory in the village, but I tolerate it. However, I will say learning that Tien was forcefully conscripted was a gut punch; for some reason, I just didn't see it coming even though I knew he was already dead in the story (maybe the story said how he died earlier and I just forgot). I love, love, LOVE Rock though, such a fun character. If I had a criticism, it's that Kal's storyline feels almost like torture porn, but at the same time it feels very realistic to what one would expect of attempting to making something of oneself in what is essentially the worst life you can have as a member of bridge team 4. As of last night, I guess Syl might be some Radiant come back to aid Kal? I'm still uncertain about her though.||

Tomorrow I start the long journey: season 1 of the OG Star Trek series. Although not for the 1st time; back in like 2014-2016 I watched the OG Series, Next Generation, DS9, Voyager and the original 12 film series, but I sure don't mind rewatching them

What would you rate a movie that has its last 20 minute to be very great comparing to its first 1 hour and 40 minutes of normal cliche movie?

Out of 5

Surely the budget is good enough for them to have at least decent animation

98% goes to overkill big name actors doing voices

Still enjoyable despite random episodes of stiffness

No shade towards yuen and jk simmons, they’re both great

I didnt notice any problems but i dont think i normally would notice that kind of thing

Also really like eve’s voice, but there’s some names I’m like what why would you cast someone so big GarPepe

Debating whether or not I actually wanna watch Green Knight now since that's also by Lowery

Green Knight is great

I'll give him another chance

A Ghost Story was just like, ||extremely understated in the places I felt like I wanted to actually flesh itself out more and then insanely heavy handed in the places I wanted it to be subtle||

||Felt like two short film pitches awkwardly stitched together with both stepping on each other's toes||

I didn’t like Ghost Story much either but The Green Knight is just all kinds of good

Cool

There's stuff I LIKE about this film too, quite a lot actually, it's just kinda amateurish in the execution in a way that frustrated me

The Way of Kings, page early 900s ||Please, do not spoil me beyond this. I was 100% caught off-guard by Kabsal being an assassin coming for Jasnah's life - that was a rollercoaster in the hospital. I'm also very sad to see that the remaining chapters of part 4 don't include Shallan 'cause I really, really wanted to see what happens with her and Jasnah going forward, though it will suck if they simply depart on bad terms; there was a good relationship developing. Oh, well. Back to Dalinar visions in the meantime.||

#

I finished The Glory ||That was great. Normally I would be neutral towards revenge plots towards shitty people because they're written with little substance, but this series' slowburn approach to that sort of plot made the drama and rising and falling arcs of the protagonists and villains emotionally investing and fun to watch. This show slowly won me over with each step of victory the protagonist accomplished. By the end, I was pretty satisfied how the fates of the shitty people turned out and was happy that Moon could finally recover and move on from her harsh past. ||

||I personally loved the character storyline of Son-a's mother the most. Her struggle and persistence to work with Moon and help rescue her daughter from the abusive dad's suffering broke me at multiple points. To see that the dad was finally killed off through strategically accidental means was both relieving and emotional for me. The mom can finally live in peace, knowing Son-a will be okay living in the USA and that the scars of dad will be no more. ||

I really liked this K-drama.

shadow sequoia
# sage remnant What did you think of ||the chapter "Men and Monsters" || RoW

Stormlight 4: Rhythm of War Chapter 43 ||Honestly? I love Lirin but I'm kinda getting tired of his whole non-murder thing, I get it and I love how Brandon is writing Kal in this way where he realizes he can do more tackling everyone's mental illnesses and whatnot but I'm 99% sure this is something you cannot deal with without fighting back (Odium, Fused, Moash/Vyre). I like that he looked out for Teft and understand where Lirin is coming from. I'm just surprised the dude is still like this after knowing his son is a Radiant for a year now.||

sage remnant
# sage remnant What did you think of ||the chapter "Men and Monsters" || RoW

for me it was the highest point of this book for like a long time
RoW part 2 end || Kaladin and Syl having to come back to battle despite wishing for walking away, cuz there's no other way. The whole "It was a nice dream" and Syl "whispering" yes. And then the final conversation with Lirin
So fucking good ||

sage remnant
shadow sequoia
#

Stormlight 4: Rhythm of War Chapter 46 ||Yeah, I've been loving Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, and Navani this whole book. I think I expected the other characters to give them all a bit of slack. I will say, I loved the Pattern twist, Dabbid moment, and Teofil (holy shit, this dude was a gigachad who should've been a Radiant)||

The negatives in the book just overwhelmed the positives for me

RoW ch 46 || Raboniel goes to the Fused and relays the plan to take over the tower, and it continues like exactly the same way they want.

Lmk what you think

Honestly I have doctor who all over my Tiktok and it looks pretty interesting

Thought I'd give it a try and it's as good as the Tiktok vids make it look like

brave orbit

What kind of stuff

versed totem
#

The way they cut those Tiktok videos it actually looks like it's a scary series

I hope that's the case

brave orbit

It can be scary

This whole time I thought doctor who is for children ngl

brave orbit

It is

Lol

It airs on saturdays at like 6 pm

I mean little kids, not teens

I'll see, I hope I won't get disappointed HakiFist

brave orbit

It can tackle a lot of topics and tones, it can have the devil or quirky living fat marshmellows or lizards

#

Also fairy tales and dystopian horror

#

Depends on the episode and writer

This was the last video I saw on Tiktok

And I get many like these

how is it compared to oathbringer

shadow sequoia
#

I like it, a bit slower and there are some character arcs I'm not as interested in but honestly, there's a lot of intrigue for what I have left so like with literally every cosmere book, the end justifies the means

#

Depending on what happens

#

It has the potential to be better to me than WoK and WoR

#

OB is hard to beat but we'll see

modern lichen
#

WoR is still my favorite of the three I read

#

OB drags a lot for me but its sustained by ||the dalinar flashback and the ending||

shadow sequoia
#

Yeah, my ratings have changed since I reread

#
  1. Oathbringer
  2. Words of Radiance
  3. The Way of Kings
#

It used to be WoR at the top

modern lichen
#

oh nice

#

what made you prefer OB over WoR

#
  1. Words of Radiance
  2. Way of Kings
  3. Oathbringer

Stormlight 3: Oathbringer END ||Dalinar and Szeth||

modern lichen
#

that's mine

#

yeah

#

oathbringer ||oh yeah szeth is awesome||

Stormlight 1 - 3 END ||Generally, I really like how each of the books are centered around a different main character. But they never feel like they are too out of focus or feel left behind. It's honestly not a big complaint. The moment Kaladin saves Adolin, Kaladin speaking the Third Ideal, Shallan figuring out the Oathgate, Shallan revealing her past, Kaladin VS Szeth, etc. The only reason it is lower than the others is because I liked where the characters went in Way of Kings and Oathbringer more; Especially with Kaladin (This guy just gets really good stuff no matter what but that climax in WoK is so fucking god) and Shallan (I love her outplaying Jasnah).||

#

Stormlight 1 - 3 END ||Dalinar giving up his Shardblade is so peak too. I love how his visions come around and how it all ties back together.||

#

stormlight archive upto oathbringer ||dalinar in general has in my opinion the best arc in the series upto where i've read||

Man I can't wait you to finish RoW, vic
Some stuff in RoW added so much more impact to some stuff in OB..

sage remnant
#

soo good

#

AAAAAAH

#

Stormlight 2 END ||I will say, I really do love the Kaladin moment with Zahel out in the rain before he confronts Moash and Graves||

sage remnant
#

for me, ||stormlight 2 lacks the proper buildup and flow that OB had|| upto ob

modern lichen
#

hm

#

cant say i agree with that, neko but fair

Stormlight 4 Part 3 (non-specific idk) ||The Urithiru plot is my fav in stormlight||

modern lichen
#

I've got many books that are one off on my list or are less of an investment than the stormlight books

#

malazan is not happening this year either, fellas

sage remnant
#

oh yeah I hadn't put shadow of the torturer in my bingo but that's there too

#

Stormlight 4: Rhythm of War Chapter 47 ||Dalinar and the Mink are beating Taravangian's forces when Nale shows up||

modern lichen
#

3/4th of the way through goldfinch, it was good upto a point and then suddenly took a nosedive

sage remnant
#

have you read the secret history?

modern lichen
#

yes

#

i've read half of the goldfinch before

#

but i am reading it again, finished the lowland by jhumpa lahiri a few days ago, which was excellent

#

read it all in 3 days

sage remnant
#

nice

#

I am almost off work so I can keep reading

modern lichen
#

the goldfinch has a tone problem

#

and its trying (not very successfully) to be this dickensian ride

#

Does anyone know Stormlight (general) ||what the parshendi sound like in the graphic audio?||

#

I should just listen to them all anyways

#

The Way of Kings, page early 1000 ||Do not spoil beyond where I'm at please. Nonetheless, I fucking knew there was more to Wit than his introduction hundreds of pages ago let on. First how he spoke to Dalinar before he and Sadeas partnered up, and then on the Shattered Plains when he started playing the flute for Kaladin. But I haven't finished the chapter with the flute playing yet, it just finished with the story of the Uvara? emperor being found long dead and causing the people of those islands by the whirlpool to go full anarchy more or less - but no spoilers beyond that moment please.||

Squid games 2 is so much better than season 1 it’s not even close

#

Can’t believe they said both Madame web and Sonic 3 aren’t eligible for the Oscars

#

Those cowards

#

Didn’t want a clean sweep of peak and peaker

near echo
#

They knew that if Sonic got nominated for anything the next film would be obnoxious about it

fickle ember
#

Sonic films have collectively past 1 billion with the third, it’s a bitch move not to include it for nominees with how many people like them

#

Just more reasons to not care about these award shows

Cutoff period for nominee voting

Game released too late in the year or something

So might be eligible next year instead

I think they literally just failed to fill out the paperwork all movies are required to fill

Very cool, Omni

Uwe Boll, for those who don’t know, is considered one of the worst filmmakers ever and a human pile of garbage

mild seal
#

he must be very desparate

modern lichen
#

This guy was once touted to be the next big thing in Hollywood

mild seal
#

and then he tried to eat people

#

yeah I know there was other stuff, but the cannibal thing is crazy

modern lichen
#

I think that was found not true but he did sexually assault women

mild seal
#

the eating thing was just a kink or whatever

#

which is still crazy

near echo
#

Still mad about his House of the Dead movie

mild seal
#

I'm glad Germany closed the loophole he was using to make movies

Squid game season 2 major spoilers episode 7 || fuck this cliffhanger ending. ||

Squid game s2 || shows and even movies these days that know they got another part coming feel like they don't gotta tell a complete story in each part and I hate it ||

squid games s2 ep 7 ||I havent watched this but I think its fine for shows to do that if it results in a better quality overall product||
