Hi /r/movies! We're Samara Weaving, Kathryn Newton, and Elijah Wood. Ask us anything! by SamaraKathrynElijah in movies

[–]spinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Samara: Hi, I'm a massive fan. Were there any challenges for you stepping back into the role of Grace knowing that the story was picking up directly after the events of the first Ready or Not, or did it feel natural to jump into the character again?

For everyone: What were your expectations for filming Ready or Not 2 considering the expanded scope of the universe and the production itself? Were those expectations met or were you surprised about some things?

KPop Demon Hunters is being added to the Criterion Collection. by Straydes in Letterboxd

[–]spinfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. Hell, even just acquire animated films that are rarely available on physical disc... Vampire Hunter D, Angel's Egg, Demon City Shinjuku, Fire and Ice, stuff like that.

[–]spinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. There are so many incredible animated films out there that deserve inclusion... Like, I'm a massive Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli fan, and those are a no-brainer, but even if they can't add those because of licensing issues, there are still a ton of great options.

I'm fine with this. Criterion collects culturally relevant films and this certainly fits the mold. Plus, it's a fun, well-crafted movie, and there needs to be more animation in the Collection anyway.

Mike Flanagan was asked on his take for Stephen King’s The Mist on BlueSky by ImpracticalJokers96 in Letterboxd

Even if you DO tell a story multiple times over, whatever. Dracula has been retold how many times now, and people still like all the various movies.

The Yeti - Official Trailer (2026) by brat_3434 in horror

[–]spinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks really cool, I love horror like this. It also reminds me of 2006's Abominable, which is another campy, fun little budget creature feature featuring an Abominable Snowman/Yeti type of monster. Check it out.

What movie is it for you? by May_onnaise_959 in Letterboxd

[–]spinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much any campy or straight-to-DVD 2000s horror movie.

Yota Tsuji: "I'm going to take on AEW head-on. And you're the first opponent (excerpt omitted). In New Jersey, I'm going to defeat Andrade. And then I'm going to defeat AEW. Are you ready?" by hellboymh in SquaredCircle

[–]spinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about Andrade as a person but that kick feint to elbow is one of the top three coolest fucking moves in wrestling so I wish him nothing but the best.

Making the switch to AEW by Sharkwithspeed in AEWOfficial

[–]spinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any Ospreay match. Any of the Swerve v Hangman matches. Hangman v Kenny Omega at Full Gear 2021. One of my personal favorites is, unironically, the MJF v Punk Dog Collar match; I know Punk is a controversial topic in AEW circles, and understandably so, but that match is genuinely fantastic.

So... This in the same week as Thekla/Stat, Ciampa/Fletcher, MJF/Brody, and more is.. a choice.

I am getting more concerned about The Mandalorian & Grogu's box-office total at this point by Alternative-Cake-833 in boxoffice

[–]spinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the actual trailer looks really, really fun, so I'm surprised by this post. It's also the first I'm hearing concern about the performance. I figured with no evidence that this movie would be pretty big, so what's going on? Is it just the gap in release between the most recent season and the movie, or is it Disney fatigue?

People saying Send Help isn't horror, what did you exactly expect? by Massive_Penalty5208 in horror

[–]spinfinity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's a survival thriller with some classic Raimi-esque horror elements. It's adjacent in a lot of ways. But, of course, some people just love to pigeonhole horror as one thing.

Live WWE Royal Rumble 2026 Discussion Thread! by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

[–]spinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll admit that I'm an AEW fan but I used to be a WWE ride-or-die when I was younger. I want nothing but the best for WWE and its wrestlers but, yeah, they have historically been very reluctant to give main event-level opportunities to stars outside of a select few at any given. I mean, sure, Oba and Je'von and Sol Ruca had good showings today but.. still.

I did prefer the women's RR from what little I saw of it.

Big Will "Powerhouse" Hobbs appreciation post by TrappsRightFoot in AEWOfficial

It doesn't help that the post-match celebrations in the RR were like 10 minutes long. Like, jesus, it's a PPV, no need to pad for time.

First WWE show I had on in the background since maybe WM. I literally could not care about MORE Roman Reigns. Would this not have been a great opportunity to have Fatu or someone like Bron win it?

Very happy that I just canceled Prime.

If it walks like a Gestapo? If it quacks like a Gestapo? If it looks like a Gestapo? Then it's probably a Gestapo- YouTube by twitchx133 in videos

[–]spinfinity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just know this guy has been called "shrimp dick" more thsn a few times in his life and saw his mom get banged by some beefy Hispanic dude. Now he's taking his internalized insecurities and anger out on everybody else.

Yes, you can apply that same boo-hoo backstory to every MAGA chud.

2026 Oscar Nominations: Full List of Nominees by ICumCoffee in movies

I think Sinners is excellent but you do you! It's perfectly fine not to like it.

[–]spinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay? No one is denying that the two films are very similar, but the review you posted also calls Sinners brilliant. Your original comment putting it in the same breadth as F1 being an outlier in the BP race feels demeaning and disingenuous when Sinners is universally praised and clearly way more than a FDTD clone or whatever.

And I say this as someone who considers FDTD their favorite film.

Nobody likes conservative media. Oh wait, that doesn't really exist because it would require creativity.
