I think they can be fun like top gun. Just pure action flicks
I didnt watch it
I don't really care much for it, the movies kinda bore me as is
Put a scoop of military advertising on top and I am out
Not to mention my dad is a former Navy man and I grew up with a lot of military media
Rhythm of war ch 11 ||lots of interesting plots getting set up…Navani having this secret person who hates her, Venli planning to break from the other singers, kaladin being dismissed, lots already going on. Still don’t exactly know where shallan is going though ||
Is it the greatest thing since sliced bread
Its the greatest thing since the last book i read
It's meh for a Stormlight book
Good start
i haven't seen Sinners
ah dang it was pretty good but I don't think it's a major spoiler but idk
so FYI with me: i do prefer zero spoilers of any sort if I can help it. i'm one of those guys basically. sorry about that.
however, i'm totally fine with being spoiled on something I never plan to see. but for Sinners, which I would like to see one day, I prefer going in as blind as I can outside whatever a trailer showed
@wooden swift I thought you'd enjoy this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0JNJOVG1VA
Mike and Jay are excited to talk about all the hot news relating to movie sequels, remakes, reboots, prequels, TV series based on movies or preexisting shows or IPs! When the idea well dries up, we just get more of the same, and let me tell you - that's a comfort! What a time to be alive! So sit back and enjoy listening to all the stuff that's c...
Soyjak syringe meme and the syringe is full of "Balkan is always right"
What's their story?
lmao I was making a joke 😭
lol
There’s just no way a big time director like Tarantino would be this publicly critical of an actor unless there was some preexisting beef behind the scenes already lol. Wonder what movie Dano turned Tarantino down for
nah, tarantino is known to have no filter
My year is going to be ending watching stranger things in theaters
Not my ideal ending but its with my brother who loves the show
So what the hell
Stranger things 5 post ep4/predictions ||my honest reaction if Robin gets slimed while Video Killed the Radio Star is playing in the back
|| @verbal ermine
I wanna watch Hamnet but I hate Paul Mescal smh... idk what to do with all this
Nice way for the film to gatekeep itself
thats how i feel about chalemet and the ping pong movie
Ur not a chalamet fan?
That’s how i feel about Tarantino
Chalamet is an icon for us white boys
nah but to be fair the only movies i seen of his were dune and wonka. But i didnt like him in either. And I was primed to enjoy both
so he carries my disappointment and missed expectations
Loved him in Dune
Oh i cant say anything on wonka lol, but i thought he was good in dune
Really excited for marty supreme
But his performance in Beautiful Boy is incredible
His energy in the trailers is great
He was the best part of the Dylan biopic
Was the bob dylan biopic good
yeah idk like i said my sample size is small but hes 0/2 in that sample
tbh though how good could the movie have possibly been if you fell asleep
It was really late so a slower movie wasn’t the best call
It’s ok but the performances are really good (Monica Barbaro is very good in it)
And it was a group watch
its The King for me
I couldnt really tell you anyrhing that happened in little woman on second thought
Yeah he was good in that too
I should rewatch it
I just read Hamnet this year and I really liked it so the movie being so good is really enticing to me
All I know is that timothee was hot in that movie
that movies only in selective theaters anyway so it'll be hard for me to see in theaters
unless I go to one of those Drafthouses or something
This… is a true story. Let’s go Erik… 🦇🦇🦇🎥
QRT: BatSource1
Erik Messerschmidt (The Killer, Mindhunter) may be the new Cinematographer for The Batman Part 2
Grieg Fraser not being there… seated still
This movie never coming out
Dude is the biggest cornball in the industry
It literally is, this is confirmation it is
are people still liking about the first one being good?
Honestly. Penguin made me excited to watch a sequel
haha its a wine, cheese and crackers type of movie for me.
I dont watch enough movies. Does this guy come close to fraser
???
the batman is a 10/10 movie
Yeah he’s really good
people were walking out of my theater when I went to see it
or was that Matrix 4? I can't remember
It probably is but I’ll see it when it has a date
I still havent watched the first
Fucking idiot
I oughta
Watch the movie
because 90% of the people don't have the attention span to sit through a movie that doesnt throw a joke or an action scene at you ever 10 seconds
Film bro still doing “you haven’t seen interstellar???????? YOU GOTTTTTAAA SEE INTERSTELLAR” shit in 2025
Insane
How have you NOT seen The batman
I really liked The Penguin. that actually changed THe Batman for me
Mindhunter is one of the best shot shows ever so he’s really good
The Penguin was not a slow noire movie so makes sense
It was good and I’ve seen it multiple times but it wasn’t that good (to me). Watch the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford and tell me what you think. That’s a 10/10 in my book
Curious to see what you’d think about it
This book can not be this good man
Andrew Dominik’s only great movie
slow movies don't bother me
Ive seen it 3 times now. Gave it a 9 the first time, a 9.5 the second, and a 10 the third
lol
Gonna watch the new Aronofsky film today
ill peep it eventually tho, ty for rec
I’ll bring it to Vegas…
"the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford" saved in notes
yall so classy.. meanwhile I'm over here about to fire up the Diddy Doc
Produced by 50 cent
yeahh
The hate is real
too real lmao
But I’m not gonna watch it
When ur ex posting one sentenced letterboxd reviews so you know you’re up
Won the war
That’s one way to talk about her
@grand portal was banned!
Reason: scam
Your messages have taken such a sad turn these days
?????
Embarrassing shit bro
I just be saying things I think are funny bro it aint ever that deep
You’re not funny lil bliddy
Okay 😭
She won the battle but I won the war ass message
Never mind man
Real
I'll be real, no woman Ive dated has used letterboxd
Admittedly, I showed it to her so 
damn bro you fumbled you had her on letterboxd and everything
Wait its actually real, i thought he was joking lol

Lowkey
This… is a true story. Let’s go Erik… 🦇🦇🦇🎥
QRT: BatSource1
Erik Messerschmidt (The Killer, Mindhunter) may be the new Cinematographer for The Batman Part 2
Woahhh
Hmm
Wonder if I can get my gf on letterboxd
Though she doesn't really venture outside her comfort stuff
I only use it to log my movies
I haven’t watched like any movies this year
Literally haven’t watched anything since Superman
is she on anilist
maybe?
She doesn't really like doing media rating and stuff so I doubt it
I use Letterboxd just to keep track of what I want to watch
Watched a lot more movies the year before lol
My media consumption in overall is too low this year
Ya last movie was in July
Its okay we locking im this last month im watching TWO movies
ONE of them I’ve already seen
Rhythm of war ch 15 ||stretch of some longer chapters this beginning man ||
Maybe she left you after seeing your letterbox scores
Have to be careful who you share that with
not really surprised that greig fraser chose the beatles biopics over batman 2. he's a 50-year-old man and it's the beatles. what is he supposed to do, turn his back on his culture?
a sad day

Sick
Where is Vic?
he drops by every now and then to post movie reviews
Does he have a youtube channel yet?
😭 ?
@shadow sequoia
@modern lichen m9 episode 5 was so great
havent seen it yet, hyped
@modern lichen @trim crown did you know Andy Serkis has narrated LoTR
Yep
I had no idea
According to Sanderson, saw this in an interview he did, LOTR ||his voice for Tom Bombadil is great and he could get through that section with the audiobook because he finds that boring usually when reading||
man a friend's reaction to that character was so fun
lemme see if I can find it
lotr all

a lot of people hate ||tom bombadil ||
this was the most fun I had seen with people's hate for a character 
I love that character but yeah it’s always hilarious
my goodness 
ive only consumed LOTR through the Phil dragash audiobook that had a pretty good voice for him and also used the Howard shore soundtrack, ||so the bombadil chapters were lovely||
makes sense though that they could be boring for someone who's only reading lmfao
ep 1 was sooo good
I went in blind basically only knew it was starring rhea and made by bince
bravo bince
what the fuck happened in season four of the expanse
season three was already kind of bad but s4 is like a parody of the show
apparently s4 is when amazon bought it
just makes zero sense politically given what s1 and 2 were about
incredible, a clear point of a drop in quality is when a corporation comes into play
i watched only the first season
and i thought it was ok
a common criticism of the books too have been that it went for longer than it should have
but that's for like book 5-6, not 3 stuff
is each season just a book?
that's what I have heard yes
Haven't watched them or read them beyond first few chapters. Not the kind of story I look for in scifi
apparently
the first season covers about half the first book
second season is the rest of bk1 and half of book 2
third is the rest of book 2 and all of book 3
and the rest are a book a season
i should read the first two books then
why does every sci fi show or movie turn to shit after its initial concept gets explored and it has to make a statement beyond critique
that's why you read standalone novels
smaller length, they exhaust what they can of exploring the concept
i can only read so many musings on the same few things
i read and watch longer form with the hope that they'll get somewhere and make a productive political statement
if that's what they're going for
but they never do
they always falter
game of thrones is a book per season more precisely but idk if most shows follow this model when adapting a large series of books
what're your thoughts on Ender's Game

i read that like 15 years ago lol
i dont think i liked it
orson scott card's only good book imo
Very good
Said it a couple of days ago, but Ender's Game is fucking hilarious as a concept considering who it is written by
The inability to see the irony is so funny
finished the Diddy Doc.. it was actually really good
Idk if that documentary meant to do it, but they kind of made him look like the main character of hip hop
Was it like tiger King
I mean its a doc so that would be expected
Id say hes one of the major players of hiphop tho
yeah for sure. A real son of a bitch he was, that's for sure. I've never seen a story irl when one person was just such a pain in the freaking ass to everyone around him. It was just like jesus
well it wasn't like Jesus, but like holy smokes I mean
Were the first two seasons worthwhile
I watched the first and thought it was alright
Too gray
And i dont mean morally i mean cinematography wise it was a mainly gray mood board
yeah I thought s2 was good
better than s1
Cool, might continue it after some other backlog then.
Batman #200
Man I know it’s server policy but opening this spoiler to see a 1970’s style comic is so funny
lmao yeah
Early 1968
tbh this was a ghost artist for Bob Kane, so this art was already old fashioned even by then
The Paul dano shit was very cheeks of him
He’s been saying stupid shit for a while now but the Dano comments were the last straw
He suggested Austin Butler could replace him and do better in that role
Chronically delusional
ST s1e2 || man can we stop with school stuff soon it just have super low of it.
Ik its important and all but I never enjoy them ||
predator badlands is so much fun
ST s1e2 || this shit is based on MK Ultra isn't it ||
|| its set in cold war so it has to be ||
ST s1 e2 || Okay so he was a big city cop before (idk if every sherrif is one before?) But that explains why he's p darn competent ||
goro why are you watching st now
you know you gonna hate every single moment of it
First two eps are great besides the || school segment, which is competently done but I just don't want to watch those ||

St is rlly fun
ST ep 3 || This cop's super good||
ST is good yall
No opinion tbh
Not a fan of her
He needs to lay off the drugs and whatever else he's doing
Insane take that Austin would get a better performance there
so based
reformed
my takes are always good 😎
scopper johansson?
is tarantino just gonna keep listing different actors he hates
cloud by kiyoshi kurosawa, took longer than expected to watch it but such an incredible film about the state of communication and compassion in a digital world
Tarantino has turned into old man shouting at clouds ever since he got to the end of the arbitrary 10 film limit
ST s1 e4 done
Very very good
As uncanny as this is in the vibe, he’s right
Is this ai? Not a fan of no longer being able to tell what's real

What
ST s1e5 || Love their science teacher ||
yeah I really wanna see it, another movie in "selected" theaters
It’s not he posted it on his socials
I mean, he’s an idiot for speaking that way about any actor tbh lol. It’s just going to make people less inclined to want to work with him. But then again, he hasn’t made a movie in like 40 years and if he does make a new one he’s just gonna use the same 3 actors
i dont think he cares
it's kind of funny that he even said it, idk lol. everyone is pearl clutching and obviously i disagree with what he said but i just enjoy people feeling brazen enough to say stuff like that lol
ST s1e6 || Just use this fucking Steve as bait to lure the monster fr ||
||Okay this is getting some stupid ||
God || can we just stop with all the bullies and school drama thing. It's just gonna end the same fucking way all having the same fucking point. It's the most predictable, overdone shit in the world. Let's move to the good stuff please ||
@shrewd sigil @sand cypress
I was excited for a while thinking it would be an anthology
Turns out, gonna be another mid 🏃♂️
Looks to be another story narrated by Hoid, like Tress and Yumi. I enjoyed those, so I'm sure I will enjoy this one too 
Also that cover art is quite nice 
I disliked Tress
and found it to be one of the worst writing Brandon has done. Cool story and characters tho
Also its again inspired by an anime he watched recently
tell me if you want spoiler of which one
this is such a wild take my guy 
yes please do
of fuck. I dropped that anime cause it was garbage lmao
Brandon please write TSA 6 already
see you in 7 years
Instead of mid like Fires of December or Mistborn era 3
8
Mistborn is PEAK
my opinion of the whole trilogy is just souring over time
HoA is already at the lowest rating I could give a book
Running theme
crazy how two of my least fav books and two of my most fav books are from same guy
You will understand later in life
About my takes being good
Nope 😎
Yes
I will get to Yumi soon cuz I already have the book with me
You better not hate on Yumi 
He will if Yumi is good
Muk is onto something here...
???
Man I gave you good book recs too...
Like SoK...
Murderbot...
Vampire Hunter D
You have but I am beginning to think our taste isnt quite as similar as I once thought...
Broken clock is right twice a day
Nah its just
Idk
I am I am very particular about prose and writing
Sword of Kaigen is actually good muk, gotta give him credit for that one
No
Like for Tress I never said the parts you liked weren't good
While you said the parts I disliked are ones you don't pay attention to
Things that I can overlook without deterring my enjoyment, yeah
For me that's like Stormlight's prose and style of writing
The prose's not bad enough that it bothers me
It's not good enough to write home about
but it never distraxts me from the story like Tress did
@modern lichen I din't know dano had support like that
Spoilered for movies with dano in them
Even matt reeves on that
Well when you get to Yumi, keep me updated
Yumi is my favorite of the secret novels 
Paul Dano got shooters wtf
But also not surprising, Tarantino just exudes jackassery that it borders on being a caricature
DOJ prefers if they sell it to billionaires that pay them
FUCK
@foggy mirage .... DC might be cooked
Always over with that hack
My precious AEW might be cooked too
Well its good while it lasted
One movie is all we get
Yeah I think its cooked now
Sad shit
But I see netflix ramming it into the ground
Then asking why it flopped
no show goes past 3 seasons
They're gonna do the Disney shit where they under budget every project
Only saving grace is super girl, lanterns and clayface are underway
So they can't tamper with those as much
Its mostly man of tomorrow and the batman 2 i think
ya then Peacemaker probably axed
Waller probably axed
Batman 2 /Superman not getting axed
That was cooked for ages
I don't think it was ever gonna happen
Swamp thing gone
Harder to get pull for that
Booster gold its joever
Swamp thing is not getting the budget required
People at netflix are gonna go "its a plant man"
Harley Quinn season 6 donezo
And completely not know he has powers
I mean this isn't a loss
We probably never getting a show as good as the Penguin again
how many times has WB been sold and bought in the past 20yrs
jesus christ
Isnt netflix better than that other dude
Well in some ways yes but in other ways No not really
Its either a mega monopoly or the 2nd richest person in the world funded by oil barons
So like
Yeah
But also bleak
Ig so but i think netflix isnt atleast gonna turn wb content into propaganda.

He’s got the movement, underrated GOAT
it's gonna turn into slop instead lmaooo
dc can't catch a break man
this is crazy
lets not be doomers
Part 8 of Twin Peaks S3 is perhaps my favorite Lynch thing of all time. Steep competition against Mulholland Dr, FWWM, and Inland Empire, but I think my love for the Twin Peaks universe triumphs
fires of December ch1 and 2 ||is it confirmed that it's inspired by rezero or people just think so cause of the traveling back in time after dying?||
also I take this back, first 2 chapters were kinda fire
Hr mentioned it in Dragonsteel Nexus
SPOILER FOR “The Fires of December.” The following spoiler text spoils A: the premise of the novel, and B: a genuinely cool moment that happens at the end of chapter 1.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED: || Brandon Sanderson watched Re:Zero. Woman lives a life ranging from shit to not bad, dies of death, wakes up in her younger body on her twenty-first birthday, and proceeds to un-unalive everyone who died and probably undoes Fantasy Apocalypse.||
damn
its alright even if he's taking inspiration from it I know the quality level will never stoop down as low as rezero's .. 
Even worse
this is only possible for you
fires of December ch2 ||too bad this is still a year away, this planet seems interesting asf||
||No time travel is Brandon's rule so I wonder whats actually going on with December||
this sucks but unironically isnt this better than the alternative
like if it was between this mf and paramount or w/e
Sorry I have class fr
Broke it fr
Paul Dano is officially the first actor to ever be successfully "Reverse-Cancelled".
"He's been Renewed."
(Source: https://t.co/eMglWuth8H)
lol ok i am so out of the loop
what happened with Dano?
why everyone defending him
Tarantino called him a punk ass bitch
lol but why 😭
He didn't like his acting in there will be blood
Called him weak sauce
And the worst sag actor
lol wtf this is so out of no where
It was because he posted his top 10 movies
And said there will be blood would have been higher but dano sucked
Toy story 3 
Toy Story 3 is good..
ya but best movie of this century 😭
That's Fury Road
this list is kinda all over the place
Deserved
can't wait for the new episode of plurbio
Comes out Thursdays right
I'll catch up to it after ST
The movie above is worse
Today, Netflix announced our acquisition of Warner Bros. Together, we’ll define the next century of storytelling, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences everywhere. https://t.co/rXPFMNIs1A
better than paramount buying it
netflix has said its continuing on the theatrical feature presentations
do you really believe that 😭
yes
its a part of the press statement
the only problem is the aspect of netflix becoming a monopoly
which is still bad
but not as bad as what the ellisons were planning
Netflix is about to balloon like crazy, it will be interesting to see what DOJ thinks. However I don't see it getting knocked down
it's over
remember the netflix movie with mbb and chris pratt that will be dcu soon
crisp rat as batman and mbb catwoman
So Netflix literally owns all of it now? Like all of WB Discovery.. from CNN to DC Comics to WB pictures to the freakin Food Network. It’s allll owned by Netflix now?
$100 a month incoming
insane.. I just looked it up though. WBD will first split into two publicly traded halves and only WB will go with Netflix. And the rest will go with Discovery Global which houses all the networks
so netflix owns hbo now ?
are they gonna merge libraries or will they remain seperate things i wonder
yea the max library could seriously upscale netflix library
I think as long as theyre as successful as they are theyll allow it. If it gets as bad as modern marvel I think they pull the plug
damn only 72 bil
i thought it would be worth way more
yea same idk why ppl acting like this is worst case scenario
so Netflix owns the WB water tower now?
we could have had homelander superman in man of tomorrow
that will age like milk
When they gon add all the good cartoons back
it’s so fucking over
we’re so cooked
yeah in the US only
it’s so over
Movies are gonna die and every corporation are gonna roll out a AI Movie Generator with Prompt anyway
every single movie will have Netflix lighting too
gonna tell my grandkids hbo used to be synonym with peak tv shows
Turn on Netflix to watch seasons 1-4 of Game of Thrones. 
Za doomers
for a $100 monthly ofc
then they will $15 with Ads 😭
THESE Mfers
More might take to the high seas. Or bend over and pay, just like we used to with cable, which was not cheap.
I'm way ahead of the curve on taking the high seas
'Warner Bros.' has contracts that extend through 2029 which guarantees the theatrical release of their films.
(Via : IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond)
Real One Piece fan detected.
thats actually pretty bad
basically gives Netflix permission to start planning their transition for 2030 onward
Nah wait I think you got at least 2 year before they merge it into Netflix
Like they did Hulu
Ariana Grande reacts to Adam Sandler saying “6 or 7” during their #ActorsOnActors convo.
2 weeks max theatrical I'm guessing
While I understand how this is bad that Netflix purchased Warner Bros
I think this is still better than that toad Ellison getting it
Still sucks they gonna be annoying about this
It’s just so weird how I kept hearing that Netflix runs at a loss
And that they’re been in the red for most of their time as a company
It’s all just fake money, nothing is real
Who would the ideal winner be bc each option was met w dread posting
Genuinely curious
Meet audience where they are
Idk if there was an ideal option
Corporate mergers are never good
There are options that were worse. But all weren't good
Netflix doesn’t run at a loss
That would be hilarious
Tesla level delusion
Even they make money now
you think that's a good thing? tf?
Netflix is terrible
Although I do love watching shows/movies on netflix
their original content is terrible
Read the rest of what I said
Oh ok
i dont mind max library being merged with netflix, i just wonder about the future of hbo productions now.
if I had to choose between paramount and netflix taking over wb, I'd prefer netflix
Agreed
Netflix boss Ted Sarandos was asked if they're destroying Hollywood
“No, we’re saving Hollywood"
"We’re in a period of transition. Folks grew up thinking, ‘I want to make movies on a gigantic screen and have strangers watch them ... [and have them] play in the theater for two months … It’s an outdated concept"
Hell no
that's been the ultimate goal. Their business is to avoid theatre
yall ain't ready
I've seen plenty of mergers go through. This will be one of them for sure. Probably some positives for some series being neglected. Most will probably be negative after the regulatory honeymoon ends and the cuts begin
ST s2e4 || More than just like looking into the Upside Down, it seems like sometimes he can coexist between the two? Like not just his consciousness moving there but his body too? Like half phased into that dimension sort? ||
|| Joyce and Hopper are probably my fav characters so far. Steve has possibility of having a good character arc if things go that direction ||
What’s ST?
Stranger things
|| Did Will get into a symbiosis relationship with the shadowy upside down kaiju thingy || st s2 e4
|| God Yes it'd so satisfying to see people being Capable. Will's mom getting the idea to get Will to draw them rather than explain. Sooo gooooodddd ||
Oh wait now
ST s2 e4 || These scientists and their security and everything didn't even bother to check the bags for any kind of recording devices. Or run it through a metal detectors. Or just check the bag cuz like its what anyone would do??? Why were theey DUMB ||
|| Well, at least I didn't have to wait more than an episode to see Dart turn into that faceless predator. Idk how Dustin can save himself from it cuz this is now grown in world of living and not upside down and doesn't has like the shortcomings of the range from upside down gate of the previous thingy ||
ST s2 e4 || The stake really increased. Like idk, the entire Hawkins region or the state itself in is now dig with these vine like expanding tunnels which start from the Upside Down, from which the predators from that dimension can come here and spread even more rapidly and engulf the whole region in a catastrophic event? ||
I have a love hate relationship with this ep. Easily the strongest episode in some regards, like the emotional beats and the ||facility thing||, and like super weak in || like plot induced stupidity and idk some decisions which would really ramp up the stakes super early which I am doubtful might be resolved well ||

Maybe I should finish season 4 of STs
Season 4 is the best one imo
I’m watching mlp
fire
you like Stranger things ?
nah never watched
only live action shows I've seen are Wednesday s1 and half of queens gambit 
Dark is Peak TV
honestly only reason I don't get into tv shows is cause it's like half a terabyte usually to download all the episodes
before Dark i didn't know any German
got neither the space or wifi for that
after Dark i didn't either but it was Peak TV 
aren't you american?
don't you guys always do Netflix
egypt
i forget it shows that on pc 
anyway here in the mother of the world we have no unlimited internet plans so long shows and games are avoided
😔
that's because you don't believe in the heart of the cards
that is sad tho man
for like last 8-10 years or so, internet has been really cheap and affordable here
I do but i don't got it like Yugi..
they're easily able to make it affordable here aswell, they just literally only keep it this way cause its more money for them
😔
bro downloading in 16k lossless
i bet they sell hard drives of TV to vendors
he's exaggerating but like compared to his usual stuff like 2 seasons show or books, most tv shows go long
(we used to exchange that)

i was exaggerating a bit but some do even in 1080p if they're multiple seasons
all seasons of Dr who
dl the seasons as you watch them
you don't need the entire series at once
Dark is incredibly mid
stfu man
mirio moment
Dark is actually bad
i may be stupid
Done with part 1 of rhythm of war
😞
the storage is the lesser problem, the wifi usage is the main one
don't wanna make my parents have to renew the internet 3 times in a month
I'll try to find compressed torrents for you man
Row pt 2 ||him calling dalinar “just like the others” was lowkey fucked up when he’s literally just tryna look out for him. I kinda on the side of them shoving him to the side for now especially after the couple of surgeon chapters||
I’m like 5 chapters into part 2
then watch in lower resolution with better codecs for compression
thank you man, its all good tho I got my mangas and comics that I've been enjoying 🙏
Dark is one of those series where artificial complexity muddles the narrative to the point that ppl dont see the clear cracks in the story.
I've been watching stuff since I had dial up internet
🤝
RoW || I mean, it's a complex scenario where both could have handled it better. Dalinar didn't handle it as well as it could be, but like as best as Dalinar could ||
Row pt 2 ||also that argument between adolin and dalinar before he goes to shadesmar. Made me think back to twok and remember i love when these two characters are talking (and arguing specifically) to each other which is something they weirdly don’t do often. ||
Row pt 2 ||like dalinar lowkey comes off as a prick when he talks to his son “my way is the right way” ||
i agree on the overt complexity but its compelling nonetheless
also Wombat
RoW || what do you think of Lirin
||
i unfortunately have one annoying need and it's 1080p 
you don't get it because you don't speak german
you can't have eveything man
the creators of dark tried that same complexity of storytelling on 1899 and that shit failed miserably
RoW ||he’s fine? I know some people have strong opinions on him hut he hasnt done anything i would consider that bad or like outrageous ||
the characters of dark are very compelling to follow
Unless the story is completely lost in translation i dont see how
RoW || People just fail to see that he's an extreme case of pacifism, and has a reaction that would perfectly suit his character and what he has been through ||
|| The last time he tried to rebel, he lost both of his sons||
off topic but are they still making Rings of Power
yes
crazy they are doing that while dropping Wheel of Prime
when it just started getting good
RoW|| also like wtf is he gonna do bro he’s old and has no powers
||
all my homies hate rings of piss
ik but I have no particular urge to watch tv shows and that stuff so it doesn't bother me much
@sage remnant stormlight 5 ||everyday I get a new spoiler about this book and each one is crazier than the last||
cuz it good homie
stormlight 5 ||wdym adolin and shallan are having a kid
||
i'm ok with rings of power
I thought they were flat and uninteresting
the second season especially is a massive step forward
easily finding a season which just takes 6 gb 
also dw
many people didn't realize that
which proves why the discussion around his books turn out to be meh. Speedreaders...
starting to envy those speedreaders
been reading wok before every physics class and I've gotten to ch34 after 2 months
take your time and enjoy man

everytime i open one of these, feels like i'm looking at a newspaper 😭
That's 1968 comics for you
They were printed in the same type of paper too lol
Newsprint is a low-cost, non-archival type of paper, consisting mainly of wood pulp and most commonly used to print newspapers and other publications and advertising material. Invented in 1844 by Charles Fenerty of Nova Scotia, Canada, it usually has an off white cast and distinctive feel. It is designed for use in printing presses that employ a...
This one
New pluribus boy
Skewl work
Haven’t seen the last one either, gonna binge this new episode and last one together later
Wednesday I'll watch both WTD and Plurbo
Pluribus S1 Ep 6 ||another great episode, I really enjoyed the dynamics this episode and the stuff with homie in south America was creepy as fuck. It truly shows a change of scenery and mind state the whole situation is scary af. They definitely are gonna try to take carol's frozen eggs.||
Enjoyed this one more than last weeks.
Tbh best way to watch these 2 episodes is back to back
9 day wait was nutty
Yeah fair
Its a great show but forgot how painful waiting for Vince episode drops is
Since better call saul
I love the weekly waits
That sneak was insane
Didn’t watch BCS weekly though that was a binge entirely
I had when it was around s2
I know I have to let him do his thing.
He just takes more time to get his hooks in for me
These Pluribus episodes are ripe for discussion and theorising so I don’t mind the wait while I watch or read other things
You are definitely gonna enjoy these 2 episodes then
This show caught on immediately, it’s so well shot and written, razor sharp from the very first second of it
I’m very excited
I just want the next one already
I also have the Mighty Nein episodes to watch
Which is a sign he's doing it right again
A lot of stuff needs catching up to
Is Pluribus gonna be multiple season long?
Some shots in episode 6
Are so fucking good
The estimate is 4 seasons
Nice
Might be my favorite episode from how it was shot
I love it
6 I don't think was him sadly 😭
Still great episode
Whoever he's getting knows their stuff
Because this show actually makes me think they properly used the budget
Checked the credits and yep
Gilligan for ep 1, 2
Of course he did the first 2
Zetna Fuentes for episode 4
Very strong start
Love how consistent the tone and look and direction of the show is visually
Vince just has an eye for picking the right people for his projects
Nobody here feels like they are incongruous with the overall tone like you said
I guess you can also chalk it up to making 2 of the most successful tv shows. And apple TV likely gave him everything he asked for
It’s a hallmark of a good show, Severance had the same visual clarity and aesthetic but a lot of the episodes there were directed by Stiller
I need to watch severance tbh
Severance season 2 episode 7 my beloved, Jessica Lee Gagné went so hard
Its kind of funny how many more good shows we seem to be getting
Idk if its just me but damn
I haven’t watched anything since I watched peaky blinders
Been watching Slow Horses too, Apple TV is on a roll
I’m gonna pick something
Last movie I saw was one battle after another 😭
I did end up loving it
I just haven’t been in a mood to watch anything at all. I’ll regain it eventually
I barely have the mood to read
I’m very picky with shows. It’s a massive time sink
Yeah couple hours of your life
The one you talked about months ago ? Or a different one
Different
Kantara?
Yeah ik. So was surprised cuz i.had forgotten about Dhurandhar
Got ticket for it 
Ratings seem to be really high
It’s really good
Matthew Lillard reacts to Quentin Tarantino's comments about him
︀︀
︀︀"Quentin Tarantino says he doesn't like me as an actor ... it hurts your feelings, it fucking sucks, and he wouldn't say that to Tom Cruise ... or a top-line actor ... I'm very popular with [my fans] and not very popular in Hollywood. Two totally different microcosms ... It's humbling, and it hurts"
no way this piece of shit said matthew lillard is bad at acting
Scooby Doo one deserves an Oscar
Wtf
How does he keep saying the dumbest shit
Praise be the trailer gods
Finally I was gonna go crazy without anything
now the only thing remaining is lanterns
Honestly dunno how they'll market that
Unless its supposed to drop
Weeks after after super girl
Because clayface is immediately after supergirl
Well not immediately but 3 months
Clayface is going to be one of the greatest DC movies ever
I'm risking my brand on this
With no info on movie
We believe in this twin
Literally plenty of info
Go look
But I'm hyped
Mine Flanagan script and good staff behind the camera and the movie cast
Lol I just don't get why he had to say this
Tarantino?
Because he sees himself as a godlike authority figure on film
Feet withdrawals got him acting a fool
there’s no way. a friend who used to be neighbors with him in brooklyn said basically all he does is read. chills outside and reads scripts and books all the time
Quoting Justin Carter (@GigawattConduit)

Does Paul Dano know what’s happening right now
I'm watching one of the greatest christmas movies of all time
Elf?
Die Hard
I should’ve known
@modern lichen GOOD movie
Didn't know it was a two parter and was worried it might end bad cuz of trying to wrap everything up when the "Final Chapter" flash card dropped
apparently the total length of the final film is almost 8 hours long
so yeah 2 parts is a good bet
Damn
Doods
I'm sorry
I should rewatch stranger things too
its been so long

it sounds good
Need to watch it
Rental family

@limber urchin neuromancer folio edition illustrations

memento (2000) ||the movie genuienly had me writing down the start of each scene so i could remember what the fuck was going on
this movie is an experiment on the viewer so we could feel what having short term memory loss for about 2 hours feels like||
can I talk about books in this channel or is it more about tv and movies
I've been reading a lot of Jae books recently I love her stuff
you can talk about books
Jae is a sapphic author she's been making lesbian books for like 200 years and I think I've nearly read all of them
just make sure you spoiler tag anything related to the story of the book
there's a series she has about a police officer that I'm not sure if I want to read because it sounds a bit heavy, but the rest of her books kick ass
is there really a big audience here for lesbian romance novels will people care about me spoiling them lmao
I'm trying to read at least 365 books this year
I'm a few books ahead of schedule so I'll probably get to at least 370
I'm at 357 rn I think
are you reading children's books
The max number of books I have known a person I know to have read in a year is 187
so 357 is a strange number
I don't count books shorter than 150 pages
also all of them are romance fiction
so some of them are like YA romance but they aren't children's books really
most books I read are between like 250 and 350
I try to read 1 a day
but yes 350 isn't very long for a novel you're right
also romance novels are really easy to read, so it's not that impressive to read 1 a day
last year I got up to 193 but I didn't have a goal last year and only started in june
so this year I wanted to push myself and see if I could do 1 a day
my book for tomorrow is switcheroo by Cheyenne blue
I've read a few chapters today
I dont get gails joke but gail is a comic writer beau is xmen 97 writer
I get that, but gail isn't an x-men comic writer
Oh 
I also don't get the joke lol
“In March 2024, Simone was announced as the first solo female writer for Uncanny X-Men.[30]”
So i guess she is a writer
But ye I still dont get the joke
I looked her up and it didn't show that wtf
Had to scroll hella far in wikipedia
Everyone thinks it’s heat vision, Cyclops blasts are concussive, so the joke is that he can do that instead of destroying the popcorn
And DeMayo corrects her thinking she doesn’t know it, she’s a really popular comic writer
I guess if he knew who she was then yeah he's a dumbass lol
also wtf is up with his pfp lmfao
No like
I feel like the original post was making that joke already
So I dont get the quote joke
It’s just her adding onto it
When you say your friends joke louder and get more laughs
Literally
there is a comic where cyclops is melting steel like it's torch
comic writers just make their own bs
but canonically it's supposed to be concussive
@frank rivet @limber urchin watched welcome to derry ep 7 so good I cried
Had me tweaking and geeking
Wtd Ep 7 ||bill was fantastic this episode, all the kids on point and a good adaptation of the black spot incident. Even all the nice lore stuff with the native Americans and overall plot.||
is it not supposed to be both?
doesn't it basically always light stuff on fire
or is that just in the movie
the idea that it's concussive energy never made sense to me
cos like then why do his glasses work
cos if it's light and he has weird filtered glasses that don't let red light through that would make sense
but it's not light it's like a shockwave or whatever concussive force means
his eyes are a portal to another dimension that sends these blasts to the world, the glasses control them and can be used in whatever power and configuration scott chooses

its not just "red light" these blasts cause damage by hitting the object physically, that's why they're concussive and they have energy so heat is generated
holy shit
cooked either way but can we not have the middle east funded one get wb
Can't even take a L properly
wb cant be worth 100b
oh wait the paramount offer is for the whole thing so technically netflix has a better offer still
@undone junco @modern lichen
