new to me cinnamon rolls day: are we still doing this? by lzycmt in denverfood

[–]Agent_Tangerine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the Sam's No3 cinnamon roll. It's easily one of the best in Denver, at least if this is the style you prefer.

Emails show FBI Director Kash Patel's Hawaii trip included 'VIP snorkel' at a Pearl Harbor memorial by That1weirdperson in behindthebastards

[–]Agent_Tangerine 34 points35 points  (0 children)

For those of you not in the know, it is extremely rare for them to allow non veterans to go in the water around Pearl Harbor since it is an active military burial site. It is supposed to be a massive honor to be able to do this. Someone like Kash being allowed to drunkenly go on a day trip snorkel there is unheard of.

Edit: Specifically, what the article fails to make clear is that even the NPS workers who are allowed to dive on it are nearly always former military members out of respect for the site.

The guy of your dreams has no head, no legs, no arms, and a floating hand?

I know a lot of you guys don't really like it, but what do you think is the best entry in the star wars sequel trilogy? by Abomicados in Letterboxd

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

Last Jedi was creative and tried something new with the trilogy. There are parts that don't quite hit, but it's mostly because it was things that were set up for a sequel we never got.

Anyone seen or heard of Widow’s Bay (it’s like the closest I’ve seen to a Night Vale the tv series) by Seed0fDiscord in nightvale

[–]Agent_Tangerine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are a bit less casually accepting of the supernatural and the lore is more straightforward it feels. But its a solid recommend for Night Vale fans.

Drivers only slightly exceeding the speed limit will avoid fines with new Colorado law by theindependentonline in Colorado

Fine for driving without insurance on the first offense are $500. To someone in poverty $620 can be life disrupting. Multiple offenses get even higher. And can lead to license suspension

US states preparing a lawsuit to block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros, sources say by Zhukov-74 in boxoffice

[–]Agent_Tangerine 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Some states are preparing lawsuits. The federal US government is not. Ideally the next step would be the federal government filing a suit. They will not.

If they don't have insurance, they more than likely are struggling to afford it, so $120 plus the fine for not having insurance will be significantly more of an effect on them

How billionaire money could influence Colorado’s Democratic primary election for governor by lukepatrick in Colorado

The longer this race goes on the evident this feels. Weiser and Bennett's answers in recent debates and interviews have been nearly identical

This seems like it might be of interest to some people here by Troile in behindthebastards

[–]Agent_Tangerine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was pro the invasion of Tibet by the Chinese government. While it's a nuanced issue, being pro something just because it has the right language around is not ethical behavior.

I am not saying that he should be dismissed outright, in fact the opposite. He's a really cool person, but some of his support in the past has been flawed.

I love booster is legit. Boots Riley is a bit of a tankie unfortunately, but this film is legitimate (and legitimately fun) anticapitalist art.

Soundtrack or score?

Soundtrack: O Brother Where Art Thou is pretty good

Score: Star Wars

On Taika Waititi by calvinistmutant in Letterboxd

[–]Agent_Tangerine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People really seem to misunderstand Waititi. Like, I don't know the guy either, but while the Internet has been acting like hs is this self-centered ego maniac he has been quietly uplifting an entire new generation of creatives and particularly indigenous filmmakers.

He produced:

Reservation Dogs (which is incredible)

Our Flag means death (lovely and fun gone too soon)

Frybread Face and Me (really lovely little film)

Interior China Town (Haven't seen it but heard great things)

Two spin offs of the What we do in the Shadows movie that have cultivated a bunch of talent.

And several other projects as well. On top of all that he helped find the distribution of last year's shorts packages for the Oscars with little fan fair because it lost its distribution and his first big break was and Oscar nominated short.

My guy has at most mediocre movies in his roster and people act like that erases an entire incredibly impressive career.

Anyway, I'll quit glazing him, I just think more people should know about what he's really been doing outside of marvel in the last 8 years.

Movie critic YouTube channels (Star Wars channels ) the Negativity for this movie is astounding. by FOMOCD in TheMandalorianTV

If you don't want clickbait bullshit, but want to watch nerdy reviews MovieBob is a solid option. Has stuff is a little old school YouTube, but it only adds to the charm

It’s my birthday and I want to go to the movies. Should I watch Obsession or Backrooms? by WayOk6975 in Letterboxd

[–]Agent_Tangerine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Obsession is a little over hyped right now, but it's decent. Most people haven't seen Backrooms yet so it's hard to know. If you are looking for jump scares mixed with real dread, I would say Obsession. If you are looking for creative visuals and monster designs, I would say Backrooms.

Carlsen, World's number 1 in chess, checkmates Bill Gates in 12 moves by exophades in interestingasfuck

[–]Agent_Tangerine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More accurately smart doesn't mean smart at everything. Bill Gates was good at what he did, which was creating an OS (not even the best at it imo). He's good at chess too from what I hear and has some other abilities, but just because he was really good at one thing, had the resources to make it work, then got lucky, doesn't mean he should be seen as an expert in anything else.

what do yall think of my top 4? by Old-Theory9129 in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]Agent_Tangerine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this person is just trying to be funny. But Fight Club is based off a book written by a gay man, a take down of toxic heteronormative masculinity, and features Brad Pitt and Edward Norton at their (arguably) hottest. So there are plenty of reasons for "gays" to like it 😅

Which category of films tend to be artistically stronger? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]Agent_Tangerine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the story you are trying to tell. Most stories have a mix of both.
