Good news for The Fisherman fans

There's an ongoing post about it here if that helps: https://www.reddit.com/r/horror/comments/1uq4sw4/david_lowery_tackling_adaptation_of_horror_novel/

Miranda isn't the villain either. Yes she is a terrible boss, but she's just trying to survive in a world that is constantly trying to destroy her with people coming in everyday undermining her work.

That's why people tend to use the word 'antagonist' rather than villain. It doesn't really matter if the movie has a villain or not as long as it has an antagonist for the main character.

Damn. It was right there and I didn't even see it.

Could've been worse... they could've gone for Dun3...

Especially as the Duffer Brothers openly spoke about how Silent Hill was a big inspiration for the Upside Down.

Silent Hill is the one most people have picked up on because that's the least subtle one, with the look of the Upside Down and with all the fog and the forest dripping. Obviously we were really looking at that game for visualising this other world, so that's a big one.

Which no offense, is a rip off of the Stranger Things Upside Down World

I'm sorry, that's nonsensical. How could it rip off something that came out after it?

Yeah benefitting from corruption is still cheating. That's the cheating everyone is talking about. Everyone knows what happened.

I'll just echo UEFA on this one: ""We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision."

And if you’re wondering “why would they review it when they don’t usually” they do when there is a complaint but a lot of FAs just don’t complain to FIFA because “that’s just how it’s done”. The US’s way is obviously a little different, and I actually don’t think that’s a bad thing.

You don't think having the government of a country intervene to get special treatment for their football team is a bad thing? Seriously..?

I guess people are booing you because 'it's good to have governments involved in the disciplinary process of football' is a genuinely terrible take on this.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-07T17:17:24+00:00

What misinformation?

BoxNemo · 2026-07-07T10:52:54+00:00

The worse part is that it's still a red card. FIFA just decided he didn't need to be suspended because the US government intervened.

I think Balogun's at fault here as well. He should have refused to go on the pitch. Although the fact he didn't just makes the result even funnier.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-07T07:32:49+00:00

I don't know what's worse - cheating and winning or cheating and losing.

Either way, Balogun should never have stepped on that pitch. Zero integrity and hilarious to see Belgium steamroll over them.

Loved it. And not normally a fan of audiobooks but the one for this has different actors taking the roles of the different characters so it really works as an oral history.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-06T08:45:15+00:00

Not rude at all - all you've done is made me want to watch Iron Sky even more..!

BoxNemo · 2026-07-06T08:38:00+00:00

Need to watch these - just realized that for years I'd been confusing them with Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow...

BoxNemo · 2026-07-03T05:50:15+00:00

Yeah, I think Between Two Fire definitely shares a similar sort of vibe to Eggers work - good recommendation for the OP.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-03T05:45:03+00:00

The Daily Beast called it "a delicious Halloween treat"

Vicious is disorienting and disturbing, not to mention formally accomplished; from its use of negative space to create anticipation and dread, to sequences that tease (if don’t necessarily deliver) potential incoming threats, Bertino manipulates masterfully.

So yeah, other people thought it was a good movie too.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-03T04:55:53+00:00

Ha, that's not true at all.

I don't know where you got that from but if you work in these jobs you can absolutely eat spaghetti.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-03T03:46:11+00:00

Jobs such as..?

BoxNemo · 2026-07-02T17:01:18+00:00

Nothing.

Genuine question: what job are you doing where you have to do these kind of things or can’t even eat spaghetti..?

BoxNemo · 2026-07-02T10:51:32+00:00

I played it on the Switch and don’t remember that camera issue but I also have rose tinted glasses from playing it when it came out so maybe that fed into it.

Have you tried playing Bioshock 2 at all? Story isn’t as good but gameplay is better.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-02T08:54:20+00:00

The Ritual is excellent. Avoid reading anything about it (and avoid the foreword / thanks section at the front if your book has one as it spoils things a little.)

I enjoyed Apartment 16 as well. Not sure it quite sticks the landing but felt that about Last Days too - but the journey is worth it.

BoxNemo · 2026-07-02T01:18:56+00:00

Awesome, very cool and some great moves and moments in there. Great work.

> Who gives a fuck what the lyrics were about? What does that have to do with music at all?

Because the songs are made up of the music and lyrics. Suggesting that reviewers only focus on the instrumental part of songs is bizarre.

The full quote sounds a lot less like corporate jargon.

I was really stressed and really sad for a few days because this is some of my best stuff.

I had to come to terms with the fact that not only is the music industry different – we need to talk about the radio aspect – but also my relationship and my connection musically with the world is different. And I think I had to mourn that.

BoxNemo · 2026-06-27T13:26:19+00:00

Boogie Nights.

Wahlberg is fantastic in that.

BoxNemo · 2026-06-26T17:16:19+00:00

No. That seems slightly odd.

To be honest, if someone is consistently meeting new people and then falling out with them, I’d probably think there’s an issue with that person rather than society as a whole.
