i remember seeing this in theaters with my mom, but for the life of me I can't remember if I was too ignorant to notice the bad CG at the time or not

[sage remnant]

Early 2000

2002

[shrewd sigil]

I was never gone I just only talk here for batman and cosmere

[limber urchin]

OK, it says Scorpion King was 2002. That would put me at around 15.

[limber urchin]

yeah cause 2002 is when I started high school I think, and I was 14 at the time, but maybe I turned 15 when the film came out, who knows

[sage remnant]

so might not look as bad as it does with current context

[sage remnant]

This looked amazing

[limber urchin]

Look, if it's not gonna have the same crazed energy as 1993's Mario Bros, what are we even doing?

[shrewd sigil]

the vibe they seem to be going for is nice

[sage remnant]

Is that the gay Mario movie one

[limber urchin]

Give me that sweet, sweet context.

Nvm I remembered wrong

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 4 ||big difference is in the book there is no meteor shards to contain or run it away. It stays derry because it likes to feed here.||

[frank rivet]

interesting

[foggy mirage]

Also they still being wtd ep 4 ||wack about its true form, those 3 lights are not its true form. Its real body is bigger than our universe and whats in derry is just an avatar.||

I think IT wtd ep 4 ||they just keep saying this light shit because people can barely comprehend pennywise isnt a clown. Let a lone a reality warping, shape shifting entity from beyond our universe. I still see people complaining about how pennywise has all these powers.||

[frank rivet]

WTD ep 4 - || ya for sure, but i guess its to raise the stakes so it doesn't all feel meaningless. I do think we are finally going to see the star of the show though next episode ||

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 4 ||to be fair it was all kinda meaningless that mf is not dead in the books. And pennywise is gonna win all 3 seasons. Cause this doesn't break the feeding cycle.||

[spiral quest]

Finally some peak

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 4 || he better by 5 ep I better see this mf in the flesh so to speak.||

[magic bloom]

Knife of dreams || I’m so tired of having to read Shaido anything. I hate this faction. They’re just bumbling around the country side doing fuck all. I want a resolution to them quickly they’re just not interesting at all. It’s not even that the Shaido are not interesting I just have Sevanna ||

[worthy crypt]

youre so close to the good books, only a little bit more

crossroads of twilight was probably my least favorite

[limber urchin]

Welcome to Derry - Ep04 ||Overall solid episode. Lilly trying to fish the pill out of the toilet was the peak of disgusting, coupled with the goofy and gnarly-as-hell snail scene. Man, that poor girl cannot catch a break; now everyone is going to assume she's a psycho killer. Also, I absolutely need to see the clown form 'cause it's clearly different from Pennywise's normal clown form in the films. And while the kid wasn't the greatest narrator in terms of provoking mood/atmosphere, the infodump of a backstory was great and well-earned. And Hallorann at the end there....is he being possessed by IT? That smile was unnerving. Bonus points for Hanlon seeing the balloons and actually believing his son.||

[limber urchin]

IT novel ||I'm pretty sure King described IT's true form as "writhing orange lights" in the novel right? But like as an otherworldly eldritch entity.||

[foggy mirage]

It novel ||when looking at the deadlights coming off the avatar, but the real body is indescribable and bigger than our universe. So when it uses the dead lights in the book its a glimpse at that.||

[wanton epoch]

What’s welcome to derry?

[worthy crypt]

new hbo show i think it prequel or sequel or something

[foggy mirage]

Prequel to IT movies

[wanton epoch]

I’ve never watched IT

[foggy mirage]

It uses stuff they din't adapt from the book

[limber urchin]

IT novel ||OK, so I was pretty close. It's true form is the eldritch entity (which are famously nigh indescribable to human senses), but the Deadlights are how we perceive that eldritch in our universe?||

[foggy mirage]

It novel ||yeah it uses the deadlights to stun and basically destroy its prey's mind. If you remember Bowers friend dint see fear and the avatar form of IT kept gltiching and dint know what to show him for fear flavoring. But it still dragged him off to eat. But when it turned into a spider thats the closest the human mind can comprehend its real form. And the deadlights is a peak behind the mirror to its true form in the macroverse.||

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 4 ||I enjoyed the episode tbh, better than last week's and I have a feeling pennywise is using halloran somehow. Like he tainted him or is riding shotgun to find out where the totems are. So the military can destroy them or it can.||

[limber urchin]

WTD ep4 ||I saw someone mentioning the artifacts being placed in turtleshells. did you notice that? ||

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 4 a sprinkle of dark tower ||I definitely saw them burying one of the totems inside 2 turtle shells, this entire configuration is making me sweat. It reminds me of the dark tower. But im not surprised they called upon certain guardians.||

“We were at Sony, and Tom Rothman has one of the pristine 70-mil prints of that movie. And Tom Holland, because he’s Spider-Man and he’s everybody’s favourite at that studio, called Rothman and he arranged for us to screen it on a Sunday, the full four hours.”

To call Jon M. Chu a journeyman implies that, while he has no unique authorial voice, he's still an efficient director. But that is too kind. Most of FOR GOOD’s musical numbers are shot in still frames and simple back and forth cuts. As if he literally had no plan, no blocking.

Hope modern DCU can capture some of that energy again with certain projects. That very specific blend of ridiculous and comic booky but still grounded enough it feels relatable to our own world instead of abstract marvel wonderland

X2 and Spider-Man 2 and (from my memories) Iron Man 1 nail that vibe.

I think the second half of the play kinda sucks and I'm curious what the hell the movie made exclusively of the second half is gonna do to make it feel substantial

[sage remnant]

No good Hollywood movie in theatre rn

Such a bad time

[white smelt]

Predator

[near echo]

But also it's got two of my favorite songs so I'll come out enjoying it enough

[sage remnant]

Predator badlands is good?

👀

[near echo]

Why isn't it called Predator Goodlands then smh

[white smelt]

You got bleach as your pfp and are the biggest Naruto shill, goro. I don’t think you can complain about quality

[sage remnant]

????

Immediately resorting to ad hominem I see

I legit haven't seen any discourse about new Predator so I thought it sucked and hence why

[near echo]

My understanding is predator fans like it and casual viewers didn't care about it

Solid franchise movie but doesn't rise above it

But maybe that's being harsh on it from my personal exposure

[foggy mirage]

What logic is this

The new predator was great

It also made the most money out of all movies ever released for the franchise

[foggy mirage]

You being harsh on it

[sage remnant]

The logic that stuff that people enjoyed would be discussed wide and far

[foggy mirage]

Outside OG I think its the best one

[foggy mirage]

Im the only predator fan ive seen in here

[sage remnant]

idk OBAA and Sinners had tons of reach in social media

[foggy mirage]

Outside bon now

[sage remnant]

I haven't seen any picture or discussion or any comment on it anywhere lol

[foggy mirage]

Rip

But it was great

Made loads of money

Very likely sequel on the way

That's all I cared about was worried but dan has gone 3/3 so far

Now its up to romulus 2 to lock in

In theaters this Valentine’s Day.

Graphic design is my passion ass poster

[near echo]

Wattpad-core

They know their audience

[tawny parcel]

what is that font brother

[sage remnant]

Bon is accurate

They appealed to their audience

[spice folio]

oh shit Goro

what’s up

[sage remnant]

Terrible from every way

but hey 👋

[spiral quest]

Reminds me a little of those dime novel covers I used to see at my grandparents house

Grocery store romance books

[near echo]

Todays film is ||Spice World||

Might be kino

[near echo]

It was.

[white smelt]

Spice girls?

[near echo]

you know it

[scenic terrace]

Invincible s3 is saved!

[spiral quest]

Bon out here giving life to movies I was sure I dreamt seeing on a tv commercial once in the 90s

[near echo]

my sister bought the ps1 game when we were young

it wasnt very good

whyd they make Mel B look like that

playing this crap embedded spice world into my core memories tho

dude baby spice looks like a saber marionette character in this

[arctic flax]

After my rewatch, peacemaker s1 is still in my top 5 LA superhero show

other 4: daredevil, the boys, agents of shield, doom patrol

Penguin barely makes it but i like the other 5 a bit more

[white smelt]

Games like this reminds me of when I was over my cousins house playing Sabrina the teenage witch: a twitch in time ps1 game but we didn’t have a memory card so we could t save and just had to play it all the way through in one sitting

[frank rivet]

Ain't no way

[frank rivet]

You're telling me all of these before early season green arrow

Or flash

[arctic flax]

yes. tho arrow s1,2,5 might be in my top 10

i only watched flash s1-2 and it was p good but wont make it to my top 10

flash felt like it was getting repetitive at s2 already

[valid thunder]

Very easily

Both of those are ass

[arctic flax]

arrow is a guilty pleasure watch for me lol

s2 and s5 are peak superhero tv seasons

mostly for the villians

[valid thunder]

Cant imagine the likes of arrow or flash over say watchmen

[frank rivet]

don't think about how they ended

think of how they started

[valid thunder]

I rewatched them with my brother

I hated them

Corny dialogue

Bad cgi

[arctic flax]

watchmen was great, been a long time sicne i watched it

might be a fresh rewatch

ive loved every lindelof series ive watched(lost,leftovers,watchmen)

lost and leftovers are top 15 western series for me

[valid thunder]

Nice

[frank rivet]

I can already predict it

Ep 5 gonna be the best episode of WTD

[outer tulip]

How do I unwatch Wicked For Good?

ChatGpt is no help

[frank rivet]

lol i feel like that movie was made for a specific demographic

[spiral quest]

For people who like musicals? Am I missing something with Wicked for Good

[frank rivet]

not just musicals

[tawny parcel]

idk i havent even seen the movie but it feels like everyone has a weird vendetta against it in this server lmao

again I havent seen it but it like afaik it was generally well recieved besides the lighting being a little offish?

[white smelt]

What do you mean?

[spiral quest]

I mean it seems like a lot of people are hating on it

But idk why

[near echo]

This server typically hates pop musicals

Its a trend

I've mostly seen positive responses to the film elsewhere

[spiral quest]

Strange

[near echo]

Makes me wonder how anyone here liked Film Red lol

That movie is an Ado music video more than it is a story

[tawny parcel]

i like the musical

i watched it in an actual theater

its fun

[spiral quest]

I hated doing musicals in high schools, but Ive learned to enjoy more of them the longer I am away from acting

[near echo]

Wickeds hardly my favorite but it's a good time and I appreciate there being a solid version of it I can watch without spending like 80 bucks for an off Broadway tour of it

[spiral quest]

Exactly

I plan to read the original novel and son of a witch at some point next year

Along with Baum's original stories

[near echo]

That said Ariana grande looks sickly and she scares me

[spiral quest]

Yeah she's changed a lot in the past like what 5 years

[near echo]

Hope she gets help

[main lion]

I think people just think ado's music is better lol

[near echo]

Wicked had a great soundtrack wtf

Weebs

[frank rivet]

i thought wicked was ok

and i'm not a ariana fan

music was decent

[limber urchin]

I fucking loved Wicked.

[main lion]

I dont like musical songs these days. Ado's music in film red was like.. actual songs. From what I've heard from wicked, they've all got that musical cadence

[tawny parcel]

facts we dont like musical music

[spiral quest]

Yeah Bon might be right, not often I see the songs from Wicked being dismissed lol

Everyone has their taste tho

[tawny parcel]

wickeds music is fun

[near echo]

One day the world will also agree with me that Frozen 2 has one of Disney's best soundtracks

They're just not ready

[tawny parcel]

into the unknown grinds my gears

[spiral quest]

https://tenor.com/view/aragorn-but-notthis-day-lotr-gif-14120761

[tawny parcel]

its one of those things i can acknowledge its a decent song

but it just irriates me and I cant say why

[near echo]

Idina Menzel kinda blew out her voice and has to shout a lot for those higher pitches

[tawny parcel]

i couldnt even tell you the otehr frozen 2 songs ||besides the kristoff one||

[near echo]

You can tell with Into the Unknown

I still like it tho

[tawny parcel]

isnt the guy in frozen 2 also prince whatever from hamilton

[near echo]

No idea I've never seen Hamilton

[tawny parcel]

wtf

[spiral quest]

My favorite recent Disney soundtrack is probably Encanto, even if the movie itself suffers from the modern Disney animation with no villain syndrome

[tawny parcel]

NEVER?

[near echo]

Yeah it's silly

[tawny parcel]

I mean its good im just shocked never

[near echo]

No reason I havent

I just haven't yet

Both when my family went to see it live and when they watched the Disney+ recording I wasn't around

Kept getting cucked out of it

[tawny parcel]

have you heard the music at all or

[near echo]

A bit

[tawny parcel]

lin manuel miranda is certainly a theater kid but hamilton is a pretty deceny musica

[near echo]

But yeah my favorite songs in Frozen 2 are Show Yourself and Lost in the Woods

[tawny parcel]

aladdin is my favorite disney movie and also prob top 5 favorite disney musicals?

[near echo]

Aladdin rules

[tawny parcel]

it does

[near echo]

I think it's the only Renaissance movie that actually like

Benefited from all the franchising it got afterwards? Lol

[tawny parcel]

i forgot what classifies as disney renaissance

[near echo]

Aladdin 3 is pretty good, the TV show was fun, got two great games and one is among the most iconic on its system, Broadway play is good

One of their best properties so it's really stuck with me beyond the first movie

[near echo]

Little Mermaid to Tarzan/Mulan more or less

The end point varies by who you ask

[tawny parcel]

you dont like mulan?????

[near echo]

I love Mulan

Genuinely couldn't remember which of those two films came first

[tawny parcel]

oh its like their last near 2d movies

[near echo]

Yeah like

[tawny parcel]

tarzan is weird

hercules is cool tho

[near echo]

I don't think a lot of people include Emperors New Groove, Treasure Planet, or Atlantis in the lineup

[tawny parcel]

also how could you not like hunchback???????

[near echo]

Even though they're good

That was when their business started shifting

Renaissance marks the period of annual Disney musicals in the 90s and the height of their animation studios popularity

[near echo]

Damn what's with the accusations I like hunchback too lol

I think Pocahontas sucks ass

And never saw either Rescuers

[tawny parcel]

because of this lol

[near echo]

You misread that

[tawny parcel]

oh wait

youre right

lmao

i was like

wtf

how do you not like these movies

[foggy mirage]

Favorite Disney movie post Renaissance is just treasure planet

[near echo]

I'm saying that Aladdin's the one that got good multimedia tie ins so it stayed cool and relevant to me as a kid for years

Where Tarzan is cool but also singular

[main lion]

right about what?

[tawny parcel]

ya i get you now i imagined an I in there

i dont think ie ver watched the straight to dvd movies even as sakid

[main lion]

I havent watched frozen 2 because I dont like frozen 1

[tawny parcel]

you could just kinda tell something was off

[near echo]

I'd see em on Toon Disney

[foggy mirage]

Mixed bag

Cinderella ones kinda gas

For some reason

[near echo]

Cinderella 3 is weirdly high quality

I have no idea how that happened

The Beauty and the Beast ones are abysmal

[foggy mirage]

Idk no expectations and let them do whatever they wanted

Prince charming

In the sequels is legit top tier himbo

||https://youtu.be/CwQrEUZDJCk?feature=shared|| Cinderella 3

[near echo]

Is zootopia 2 gonna be an actual movie or another Disney+ limited series they stitched together for theaters

[foggy mirage]

Betting money it might be a bit of both

Moana 2 wasn't asked for

[tawny parcel]

hope not

[foggy mirage]

And it should have been a show

[tawny parcel]

zootopia 1 was really good

and fun

[foggy mirage]

I agree with this

[near echo]

Moana 2 I was soft on but that's just cuz it's inoffensive cheap shit for kids and you can tell it was produced as a cartoon

Kinda judged it as a direct to DVD Tinkerbell movie

[tawny parcel]

tangled also idk what the consensus is

[near echo]

Not letting Disney get away with that twice tho

[tawny parcel]

but its one of the best disney movies

imo

[near echo]

Tangled is really good

My friends love the TV show too?

Never saw it

[foggy mirage]

If you said tangled was bad

We were gonna argue

A verbal brawl

[near echo]

I like early cgi Disney

I literally have Moana and Encanto in their top ten or something

And Im big on the first Ralph movie

[foggy mirage]

Not a fan of Moana ngl

[tawny parcel]

damn hunchback listening to this song rn cause we talked about disney movies this song is so incredibly fire ||https://youtu.be/jdIP2xmDqx0?list=RDjdIP2xmDqx0||

[near echo]

But they got TERRIBLE so quickly

[tawny parcel]

genuinely beautiful asf

🥹

[foggy mirage]

The midification

Of pixar

Must be studied

[tawny parcel]

holy true

[foggy mirage]

Literally hoping hopper is the we're back

Because good god

Its been going wrong

[near echo]

Hunchback ||my issue with that film is the tonal dissonance of the main plot with the usual Disney comedy skits

Not just the gargoyles but also like, how the gypsies actually ARE this comical over the top band of thieves when they meet em so they can do a fun musical number. Which reinforced Frollos propaganda

It feels torn between being two movies and thankfully 2/3rds of it is a really fucking good one||

[tawny parcel]

ya its an odd one

lmao

[foggy mirage]

Odd film but a masterpiece for it

This is from an experimental time so I get the take

Never found a soul that likes Pocahontas

[tawny parcel]

i never watched it as a kid because girls are cringe and guys are awesome

[frank rivet]

i wish they would stop using 4k film cameras to do comedies 😭 it just ruins some of my favorites

[near echo]

Its got one of the best musical numbers of all time and then the rest of it is embarrassingly tone deaf

[frank rivet]

i liked pocahontas

but it was probably just a childish crush

i forgot the plot

[foggy mirage]

You saw a baddie and the plot melted away

[frank rivet]

true

[foggy mirage]

Yeah the music is great for me

[frank rivet]

but it was stiff competition, i mean she was against some all stars in Jane, and Nani

[foggy mirage]

Nani >>>

[near echo]

I love Chris Sanders

[tawny parcel]

I went on a disney cruise when i was like 14 and this dude i met on the cruise went to every single tiara meet and greet

which lowkey valid

[near echo]

He works for major studios on kids films but you buy his art collections and its ALL pinups of sexy thick girls

How does he do it

[tawny parcel]

thats her name right the princess and the frog girl right

[foggy mirage]

Yeah thats valid fuck it

[tawny parcel]

she actually left him a card in his room thanking him for showing up 😭

so game is game

[near echo]

Thinking about my favorite Disney movies now

I think they're still sleeping beauty and fantasia

Boomer at heart

[frank rivet]

nothing can surpass Finding Nemo

[near echo]

Oh I'm just talking their core animation studio not Pixar

[frank rivet]

it is the pinnacle of cinema

[near echo]

I think my favorite Pixar is Toy Story 2 tho

[frank rivet]

ah then i gotta go with lion king and lilo and stitch

@foggy mirage i am so behind on Pluribus, should i just binge it after exams. Am i missing peak

[near echo]

Used to have a lot of arguments with my friend who hated ALL their princess movies and exclusively liked their buddy comedy films like Emperors New Groove, Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia

I think he's chilled out since but it was always funny

[frank rivet]

Emperors new groove

WAS PEAK

lilo and stitch still makes me cry alligator tears

[near echo]

Oh they're all good I just found it funny he hated all the fairy tales

[tawny parcel]

Crazy when its not even the best in its own trilogy…

[near echo]

Nah I think 2 goes to more interesting places than 1 and 3 is kinda self aggrandizing to me in a way that I liked as a kid but I question more as I get older

[frank rivet]

2 better honestly

its more grounded

[near echo]

TS3 ||also the Spanish Buzz stuff is annoying||

[tawny parcel]

I like 3 but its been a little while since I’ve seen it

Yhat and the incredibles

Goat status

[near echo]

I saw it again in college and didn't like it the way I did in theaters

[tawny parcel]

Incredibles is so gooooooooood

[near echo]

Maybe I'm due for a rewatch again

But I got too much other shit to watch lmao

[tawny parcel]

Incredibles barely even a kids movie

[near echo]

Maybe if my family wants to before 5

^this movies gonna SUCK

[frank rivet]

SPEAKING OF BADDIES

the baddie ratio on incredibles is crazy

[tawny parcel]

Baddie ratio 🥹

😭

Like incredibles ||its so obvious once you’re a tiny bit older hellen thinks bob is having an affair||

[frank rivet]

oh...lol i figured when i was a kid

[tawny parcel]

I didnt

[spiral quest]

That the server doesn't seem to like wicked for good

[tawny parcel]

I was like 9

I like superheroes

Look at how strong mr incredible is

Dude Spotifys version of the frozen 2 album has the Japanese dubs on it too

Maybe that's the version this server should watch

[white smelt]

I think in general wicked the musical is pretty okay but it’s agreed upon that the second half is kinda the worst part about it. So splitting one musical into two movies is kinda meh. It’s a popular trend I think, most notably the hobbit turning into three films. Kinda annoys people.

Like a musical has acts and they are a part of a whole, you can’t really make each act into a standalone film

Not really built for it

[modern lichen]

Hobbit turning into 3 movies is still one of the funniest fuckups in movie history

[spiral quest]

Imma say it

I enjoyed the Hobbit movies even if they are flawed

[leaden depot]

Hobbit is a clear example of how LOTR was the perfect storm, made right before CGI could ruin shit up

[foggy mirage]

Max 2 movies

And stop with the padding

But sadly they wanted that trilogy bad

[regal root]

Hobbit would've been so much better if the studio wasn't stupid

LOTR is a masterpiece because they gave PJ and his crew multiple years to pre-plan and film

Hobbit turned into a rushed mess because of gross incompetence from the studio heads who wanted everything done ASAP and extended it from the planned 2 movies to become a trilogy

Among other things like GDT quitting forcing them to call Jackson to try his best to save them

[modern lichen]

It was 4 studios influencing the decision making lol

[regal root]

https://tenor.com/view/cluster-fuck-what-a-cluster-fuck-in-trouble-trouble-gif-12362896

Actual generational fumble

[modern lichen]

Recommend watching Lindsay Ellis’ series on The Hobbit

It won a Hugo award for a reason

[near echo]

Those are her best videos

[foggy mirage]

The hobbit had potential to he a peak duology

With 2 extended editions

instead they wanted 3

Greed

[frank rivet]

oh I thought it was because of CGI.was wack

Well actually some of it was decent

[foggy mirage]

The work on certain characters was impressive

But they added stuff that wasn't in the original books and stretched shit out badly

It just dint adapt stuff properly

[modern lichen]

forever salty they ousted GDT

[foggy mirage]

I do think he would have made better movies

And they would have had a great feel to them

[modern lichen]

i mean, with 2 movies, yeah and he would've used a lot more practical effects

[foggy mirage]

It was a bone headed move to get him out

[foggy mirage]

I do think the hobbit ||smaug would end up being cgi though.||

[modern lichen]

i mean, yeah, but a whole load of really cool shit would've come out of del toro's tactile need for practical effectsd

[foggy mirage]

Very likely the stuff involving the hobbit ||the Forrest, lake town and anything warg/orc related would have looked better for sure.||

[modern lichen]

the hobbit ||smaug is too big to do practically unless they wanna pull a jurassic park and do animatronics for closeup shots and then for wide shots they do full CGI renders||

[foggy mirage]

The hobbit ||i feel wb would have bitched at him for that and told him to go full cgi.||

Not saying it cant be done

[modern lichen]

the hobbit ||i agree that it would've been full CG throughout but considering that he also did pacific rim i think GDT has a better eye for monsters especially in the usage of CGI now than jackson did on the hobbit||

[foggy mirage]

The hobbit ||i wish we got to see how gdt would have done smaug I feel he'd end up looking scarier somehow. I think Benedict was the perfect casting for it tbh. And the size was adequate for the menace he inspired.||

[modern lichen]

the hobbit 2 ||my favorite scenes were of smaug and bilbo interacting before that whole shambles of a big CGI battle with the dwarves bumbling around||

[foggy mirage]

The hobbit 1970s animated ||I always enjoyed how he looked in this, and his literal eye beams.||

[near echo]

Loved that movie as a kid

No idea if it holds up

[foggy mirage]

The hobbit 2 ||I have to agree they perfectly adapted the biltong and smaug stuff. And how they bounced off eachother. You can really feel the size and presence. The cgi fest was a mixed bag fight wise.||

[foggy mirage]

Not as well as the lotr one I feel

Lotr one held up better for me than the hobbit

[modern lichen]

the hobbit 2 ||there's palpable chemistry between freeman and cumberbatch as well, so the scene just flows so much better||

[foggy mirage]

The hobbit 2 ||i feel its likely because they worked so long together on Sherlock. But they are both brilliant actors. So its just a joy to see them working together so well on such an important scene.||

@near echo the hobbit 1977 ||the mirkwood spiders are so weird looking in the animated version.||

[fallow saffron]

Tbbt ||I don’t like that Nice Guy thing they write him as. It always seems like he tries do dunk on the rest of his friends with “sarcastic, witty quips” as if he’s any less weird or nerdy. At least the others are unapologetically themselves, Leonard cucks out any time he’s slightly challenged about who he is. Just constantly throwing his friends under the bus to try to prove to other people that “I’m not like them, I’m normal”. And all of that is rewarded because he gets with Penny, and that’s treated like the ultimate achievement. || @modern lichen

[raw gate]

Inland Empire is the coolest film Lynch made, on a structural level. Just got done rewatching it and I have nothing but good things to say

@raw gate you have read Stormlight right?

[raw gate]

Back in me ole fantasy novel days, yes

What about it?

[sage remnant]

Upto Rhythm or Oathbringer?

[raw gate]

Rhythm

[sage remnant]

Good

Stormlight || The other world of the manga you like that I am currently reading, it would have made more sense for it to be Shadesmar like in how the mechanics of it worked ||

Just remember what I was trying to compare it to

[raw gate]

Honestly never thought to compare the two but this is pretty apt. Although, I think the manga is fine as is

[worthy crypt]

sopranos end || is Melfi unethical for quitting on tony? There were lots of good reasons to quit on tony along the way but her calculus seemed to be that it was still her responsibility to help even an evil person as a doctor. But a little bit of peer pressure from her psycharitst friends is the difference maker? Or are we supposed to believe in the study that gets quoted and shes realized shes not actually doing good? But at the same time, if a doctor fixes a mobster's hand or lungs, that also would enable them to return to crime more effectively. Is the same not true of tony's psyche? ||

[foggy mirage]

Sopranos end ||tony was using therapy to become a better criminal. Through years, sure he had less panic attacks. But he was using it to hit on melfi, hook up and justify his actions. A person like tony was never going to get better Through therapy just keep using it as a tool for an angle. Tony is someone who at one point was capable of change. But he blames his upbringing, his genes and fate. When he's someone that doesn't believe in god, the government or anyone that isnt himself or some paragon of masculinity like Gary Cooper. He's just someone thay by s6 stops trying to change and gives in to his worst aspects. And melfi could see that her co dependcy on him was unhealthy and cut it off.||

[worthy crypt]

sopranos end || but isnt decreasing his panick attacks getting better through therapy? Shes not an ethics coach, him never becoming a better person doesnt mean he couldnt benefit from therapy. How is it any different from a doctor fixing an assassin's hand? ||

[foggy mirage]

Sopranos end || it was a fuck up on her end, by the time she helped with the panic attacks she should have referred him away and that should be the end of it. He originally got what he wanted out of it by s2 realistically. Everything past that was melfi feeling some sort of responsibility for tony. You can argue he might make marginal improvements but she just dint want to put up with him anymore after it became clear any real changes would roll back to default for tony.||

I was writing my thoughts on this book

And I feel like the most important thing more than anything is structure. I have all these thoughts but I don’t know how to make them flow into one another or make it come natural

So it comes out more as garble of thoughts then anything meaningful

i think i thought it was ok? i was expecting more iirc

[foggy mirage]

Just watch it

For completion

But don't expect sopranos level stuff

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 5 ||finally pennywise makes his appearance, and it was great. If anyone is confused about the box its from Dr sleep both the book and the movie. Its where holleran stores ghosts that haunt him, including his grandpa. Which is why he was suprised he was out and free. It seems pennywise is using halloran as a free source of mayhem spawning ghosts to terrorize derry. Big brain plays as usual. Great episode all around and lily is a moron. I knew the moment Matty had zero reaction to the drugs it was a disguise. But forcing a "box" open for a shining user is insane power. But expected from an entity like pennywise. Also hank is 100% hiding at the black spot. Also kids dumb af "matty" says pennywise sleeps during the day and eats at night dumbasses.||

@young compass what do you like about sorry to bother you 4.5 stars is crazy how do you even arrive at your letterboxd ratings

[modern lichen]

its a good movie

[fair echo]

it was just okay

[frank rivet]

Sorry to bother you is a great movie

[fair echo]

sorry to bother you ||i resonated with the sentiment around call centres because ive worked at a few and it feels like trash but honestly man almost everything after that opening 20ish minutes lost me.

it's just like... why choose a call centre? i was disappointed because the opening of the movie seemed to resonate so well with what I know call centres to be like. I related to much to it, I was heavily rewarded because I was good at it, I was told I have a 'great young white australian voice' and then we go down this demonic call centre pipline with millionaire salaries overnight and call centres are the devil that sell slave labour to other cartoonishly evil companies ????????? It didnt feel appropriate to use call centres as the basis of showing labour injustice slavery&hierarchy in businesses. It's all just waaaay too absurd and got lost on me, i cant even tell if its supposed to be satire because i didnt find it funny. If it is some fucked absurdist satire, then what it's trying to do is ignore any criticism of call centres specifically and instead be like "this is where people are turned into commodities" or whatever. but like why? cause all that does for me is abandon the grounded, recognisable, relatable exploitation when call centres already make that point in a painfully literal way, why not actually critique them instead of using them as a doorway to something absurdist and less precise?

There's a lot else I want to say but i cant find the words. I thought the romance plot with Detroit was pretty lame and just felt to me like generic 'political activist matches with detached personality', and also: I dont wanna sound ignorant but the ending just feels like a forced push on 'yes unions work and if we riot about things change will happen' which feels preachy whether you believe it or not||

[young compass]

sorry to bother you

||It didnt feel appropriate to use call centres as the basis of showing labour injustice slavery&hierarchy in businesses||
||you're taking a too literal interpretation of the story because you wanted it to be more about call centers as they exist right now? I don't get why you feel like it's inappropriate to use them as an exaggerated form of the system we live in. In general, the story is just trying to make a commentary of framing, that we're able to tolerate ridiculous and disturbing things because of the entrenchment of everything, like how we're currently able to tolerate the suffering inflicted upon the countries who don't profit from the labor hierarchy because it's just "how the world is", but get morally outraged and motivated by something that violates the ten commandments like a mentally ill homeless person attacking someone on a bus; both the mentally ill person and the Angolan miner's actualized existences serve to to threaten the status quo of how we all live in the first world. ||

||the movie is absurd and satirical but I didn't laugh either, and I don't think it was really going out of its way to make me laugh, it was just trying to make an analogy to our current reality and how ridiculous it is. and yes, of course it's preachy, it's a rhetorical polemic against capitalism. so why did i like it? because it's a novel way to explore the above concepts and one that actually has some semblance of coherency compared to the very many films that try to critique the system, like triangle of sadness or mickey17 and so on. in your letterbox oneliner you mention it's like joker but communist and i can kind of understand what you mean but by being a materially relevant version of joker you've basically solved the gigantic issue of joker, that it has no bearing on anything and the main character's motivations and the movement he inspires are contrived and stupid and would never happen in real life||

[foggy mirage]

That's why I left that message for last with the initial ping.

Wtd ep 5 ||he's gonna run around seeing ghosts after pennywise ripped it open. I don't know how bad its gonna get.||

Im just happy we proved wtd ep 5 ||the drugs and having a fucked up amygdala don't make you immune to pennywise.||

[fair echo]

Sorry to bother you ||I like what you said about entrenchment. In my original message I mentioned that I really enjoyed the dialogue towards the end of the film at the cafe when Cassius is reuniting with his union friends and they say stuff like "yeah everyone just learns to deal with problems they don't think they can change", but I cut all that for word limit. Maybe it would have been good to keep because my point is really just that in the absurdity it lost any care and impact of the material relevance to me. I think I can engage with absurd things, but in absurd contexts. Like One Piece funnily enough, which people will try and twist into a political think piece but it can avoid that because of how absurd it is. With STBY, the absurdity means I just ended up hearing the messaging as a seperate truth I already agree with instead of feeling like an earned payoff to the story.

I'm sure a lot of people agree that they would just rather watch a movie that has very little material relevance but is still entertaining because I can suspend my disbelief a bit like with Joker, and reason that it's just a superhero origin story that fails at being preachy (which imo doesn't ruin the messaging too much). Whereas STBY is a movie that might succeed at being preachy but doesn't do much else to keep me engaged. I thought the one liner was funny because it was just connecting the dots on what STBY is trying to be and what Joker is, and ends up critiquing both movies.

STBY didn't feel good to watch so I just felt like a better way of showing it would have been continuing what they got so right in the first like 25 minutes establishing with the realist call centre and power callers instead of going 1-100 real quick. It's not a bad thing inherently that it's absurd but I think it works against the movie a bit, it's unique, but kind of... Boring. It didn't keep me engaged here||

[tawny parcel]

LaKeith Stanfield is lowkey underrated

He kills it in like every role

[tawny parcel]

Reading fight club, not huge on this book so far

But its short, so I’ll read it

[limber urchin]

WTD Ep 5 || ||

[foggy mirage]

Have fun

Wtd ep 5 ||you could excuse it as not getting sunlight for a while. But its like he was color saturated compared to the world. And the fact he doesn't react at all like he's drugged after they all took the pills. He's the one that is absolutely fine. By the time bodies show up and they are turbo lost.||

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 5 || seated for peak.||

[limber urchin]

WTD Ep 5 ||I just want more Pennywise at this point, I've waited so long like a good little adult.||

[tawny parcel]

Fight club book|| a little bleak for my taste lol||

There are some lines that are really good though

[frank rivet]

WTD Ep 5 - || i honestly thought this was Pennywise funniest episode, like legit straight comedy all episode. 1. Him setting up Wills dad by first bringing out his wife knowing he would then get his kids so he let most of em go 2. The affair between his daughter and Ronnies dad is hilarious to me 😭 he literally sold his daughter for the theater trap if you think about it. 3. the face he made when he knew he couldn't get to Lilly. 4. The way Pennywise daughter kissed him made me laugh too lol i was like something not right with this girl fr 😭 ||

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 5 ||considering they pulled the lid off, he's likely yo be in every episode now.||

[foggy mirage]

Fight club book ||yeah id say the book is bleaker than the movie. He's a full on bastard. You see the club do more to go towards the goal.||

[foggy mirage]

Wtd ep 5 ||I have a feeling he's gonna hide at the black spot, and start a riot. Which is gonna lead to the fire and pennywise feeding off that.||

[limber urchin]

WTD Ep5 ||I'm hoping so; I hope Bill signed on 'cause he knew he would get more than just this appearance.||

[frank rivet]

oh most def he will

WTD - || he signed on for 3 seasons, where he might do more seasons as himself being bob gray when they move further back in time||

[limber urchin]

IT 2 deleted scenes ||I want them to show that supposedly really fucked up scene that was either deleted or never filmed for the second film.||

You can theyre mid book

On my mothers life

[peak pilot]

My reading of this book has been fragmented so can you jog my memory of the first message

[tawny parcel]

Wor ||when Adolin has to fight the 1v4 and Kaladin hops in to help||

[peak pilot]

Words of radiance late ||was this when kaladin challenged Amaram and he got out to jail?||

[tawny parcel]

Ya

Same time

[peak pilot]

Ok yeah I did remember

Words of radiance late ||the way he balanced shallan and kaladin chapters I found jarring. It wasn’t structured in a way where I wanted to keep reading. I finally started to want to keep reading when shallan and kaladin get stuck in the chasms. It’s been good since then. An yeah adolin is cool. Moash is not. Shallan is mvp I don’t know how you could ever hate her||

[limber urchin]

[tawny parcel]

Truth nuke…

Wor|| Shallan goat status…idk id shes still my favorite character but def one of them||

Although wor ||the chasm stuff really grated me, shallan was fucking chirpy in those scenes every line was like marvel dialogue ||

[limber urchin]

WOR ||The chasm was one of my favorites.||

[tawny parcel]

Wor|| and kaladin, I’m glad Shallan makes you happy, but even he was talking like it was a breezy sunday like bro lock in||

Wor ||i like the chasm and chasmfiend stuff I dont like all the humor in it lmao. But I was glad these two were finally able to really talk to one another||

[tawny parcel]

Disappointed with some of Rin's decisions?

[limber urchin]

You should read the Empire of the Vampire trilogy, it's definitely now one of my favorite stories, but I'm also a sucker for the dark and macabre.

the burning god || there are just no consequences for her bad decisions. She never learns, she just keeps making bad decisions, and getting saved by luck ||

Too quick on buying movie rights nowadays

[worthy crypt]

its probly like venture capital people

you buy the rights early, theyre cheap, and sure 9/10 will fail but the 10th will make you tons of money

[sage remnant]

These are biggest books of like 2023 and this year

some of the biggesr*

well ig even then the rights are Prolly cheap now

[foggy mirage]

Eragon and dark tower level adaptation incoming

[worthy crypt]

I guess im not in the know this is the first ive heard of them

[sage remnant]

they are not like Kuang level big

[worthy crypt]

maybe things like this just need more time for word of mouth to grow and reach me

[sage remnant]

But Kuang appealed to litfic community as well as fantasy with her newer works
Which has higher reach that Scifi/fantasy

[worthy crypt]

cause thinking about it where would i have heard of them

unless i see someone talking about it here, other discords, or youtube id probably never hear of it

[sage remnant]

Never heard of Will of the Many on YouTube?

It was like Booktube's and reddit's darling for so long
