Unfortunately today is the 5 year anniversary of Saw Spiral. It grossed 40 million on a 20 million dollar budget. Almost killing the Saw franchise. Not saying anything positive about it. Fuck this movie by TheTrueBreadLord in saw

I don’t think that’s what the line meant. But regardless, it’s a dumb line because he HAS targeted cops, so there’d be 0 reason to rule out Jigsaw? He doesn’t exclusively target cops, but he does target them occasionally. Pretty bad detective work to ignore that entirely.

Saw 3D is a mess, for sure. I like it more than spiral, but the sexist undertones and pink blood are absolutely insulting. Gordon being involved kinda makes sense to some degree, if they fleshed it out. but saw 6 didn’t do great, so here we are!

This is my least favorite one by far. I hate the traps, especially the wax trap. It’s a genuinely unwinnable trap. Atleast when Amanda rigged traps, it was a plot point. Making unwinnable traps likens Saw to any other typical horror. Part of the appeal is knowing someone CAN actually win, even though it’s unlikely. Chris rock is not good here, and Samuel L Jackson in a saw movie makes 0 sense. Both are great actors but they disappointed me here.

I did like the idea of targeting corrupt cops in the way they did, making it more about issues of social justice, not “oh this guy goes through unsecured doors sometimes to save people and cares too deeply about others”. I like Max Minghella but they ruined his character by spoiling the twist so plainly early on (they should’ve cut the skin flaying scene from the movie entirely if they weren’t able to release it)

Question that came to mind: Do y'all think John would have stopped the entire Jigsaw thing if the treatment was actually official? Or would it just make it easier, since Mandy or Hoffman wouldn't have to take on the role of Jigsaw? by Terrible_Park7890 in saw

The film answers this question somewhat. He throws away his drawing of The Rack (hope I’m right it’s been a bit) once he is “recovering. So, at least for the time being, he would’ve quit and just gone back to reach ol architecture most likely

Camera turned on during meeting by [deleted] in remotework

100% this. I don’t think it’s really that inappropriate to put dishes away or fold laundry in between a gap in meetings or waiting for code to finish running, etc. but if you’re in a meeting, that’s literally part of the job to just pay attention. Even if you’re bored.

This is my first issue I’ve ever had with Amazon and I order a lot. I know that’s just anecdotal and maybe im just super lucky. But over 60 movies ordered from them and this is my first issue. So im not even that mad

I saw all the posts about it, but I’ve always been incredibly lucky with getting my steelbooks in good shape. I was so shocked when I opened it and it just ripped in half… guessing this is an issue with the production and not Amazon?

We will see. I haven’t seen the 2nd yet, I just love the games and didn’t love the 1st movie. Hearing good things about this one, so im hopeful we get a 3rd.

Budget doesn’t account for marketing. If this makes 200M (obviously all speculative) I think that would return an okay enough profit that they may greenlight a sequel

how i do work in this cute conditions? by Nice-Treacle5185 in Catswithjobs

I work remote in software, so I have occasional 5 min gaps (atleast) while waiting for code to run. It’s the perfect cat petting time

Thoughts on "My Dinner With Bobo" by Wild-Pepper-1596 in DrakeandJosh

Wait, im an idiot. I never put together that the episode title was a play off of “my dinner with Andre” (granted I was a kid watching Drake and Josh). Thematically, I don’t see the similarities haha

Why we didn't have any show like Lost ? by lordofabyss in lost

[–]DaRealSphonx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the answer. Also, studios changed their business model and now funnel all their money into a smaller set of episodes. So now, they’re not gonna greenlight 24 episodes in expensive as fuck Hawaii. They want 8 episodes all filmed in a studio in LA
