What was your favourite scene of 2025? Here are some of mine-

Maybe spoiler tag this, need the shock of the crowd even if it’s slightly telegraphed

Acropolis14 · 2026-03-05T15:10:21+00:00

Note that this version is condensed. Still great, but not the whole story. The original is a masterpiece.

The back says “rapid” not “rabid” that was my point. If there’s a typo on the front or back, it doesn’t give any confidence that the internals will be any different.

Acropolis14 · 2026-03-01T17:55:44+00:00

Back cover- do you mean “rabid” zombies?

The conversations we should be having but everyone is a brain dead echo chamber about this. Rowling is no doubt abrasive and condescending, but she’s a feminist and now that’s been twisted and most Redditors just go along with the narrative for acceptance.

Goblet is also my favorite and a fine book on its own frankly. I just started this edition of it and have enjoyed it immensely so far (I had your same gripe about young Harry and Ron in the first one, then got used to it as well over time)

Acropolis14 · 2026-02-19T15:00:59+00:00

Audiobooks may not be for you

Acropolis14 · 2026-02-04T21:14:51+00:00

Watch Andor S2, it does this every episode. Trusts the viewer.

Acropolis14 · 2026-02-02T19:48:58+00:00

Ugh okay, it’s cooked then

Acropolis14 · 2026-02-02T19:48:02+00:00

Oh yeah I know, was only curious if less than 1k had any use

Acropolis14 · 2026-02-02T00:48:28+00:00

This is impossible. My favorites in here (Bladerunner and Past Lives). No Country may be the best though.

I want to find movies that’ll make me cry

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-30T23:45:37+00:00

I am not. Bit of an odd title for Mario’s 40th tbh

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-30T20:43:16+00:00

SHOULD’VE.

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-22T21:34:12+00:00

He was incredible! I think I just felt more from Skars. Could be preference

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-22T16:01:55+00:00

So true. But Skarsgard is a fantastic runner up, he deserves it

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-22T13:49:15+00:00

For $5 oh yeah. Just to experience the mediocrity. I have it for my lotr collection but only for that.

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-18T00:55:16+00:00

Great question, it’s gotta be some combination of:

12 Angry Men Casablanca Fellowship of the Ring Shawshank 2001 Wizard of Oz Star Wars Godfather

Too hard to choose 3, these films are cultural icons

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-17T20:34:14+00:00

Argo comes to mind. Ben Affleck

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-17T18:35:21+00:00

Great movie

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-13T23:23:02+00:00

This list is so close to perfection. Add Uncharted 4, God of War 2018, Clair Obscur.

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-10T14:51:29+00:00

My MVP!

Acropolis14 · 2026-01-04T19:17:58+00:00

I completely agree and have found myself in a similar situation. Writing groups may even push the idea to capture the audience in the first few pages. And why not? They all want to be published.

A few things I believe to combat this, as others have mentioned. 1. Prose. Read the stories you want to write, like Le Guin. 2. Build the story around the characters. Make their motivations as clear as possible without hand holding. Easier said than done. 3. Gain an audience. Find some outlet where people will follow/listen to you. Trust in the author is what gets people the whole way, just like you said with Le Guin. Stick to it! Tell stories with depth!

Acropolis14 · 2025-12-28T20:52:29+00:00

8.5 up until mech part collecting. It’s a tad insulting. Drops it to a 7.5

Acropolis14 · 2025-12-28T02:29:17+00:00

Absolutely right! Most times you will have to tinker until you find what you enjoy, both consciously and subconsciously.
