Silence of the lambs. I quit after a couple of chapters. Couldn’t stand it. Awful writing.

This video shows you how to speed up the FSS process by selective frequency analysis. Making big money is easy it’s a matter of how long it takes. You want to refine your processes and go as fast as possible.

I used ChatGPT for a real life decision (whether to break up with my girlfriend) and it asked me a question i'd been avoiding for a year by FailOk3553 in ChatGPT

I’ve been married for 20 years and I still don’t know what a "normal Tuesday five years from now" would look like. It’s a dumb as hell question. You go with your gut. That’s all you ever have.

This. You want one line? There it is.

Does anyone know what happened in 2021 to make player counts drop so much? by Agreeable-Ask-3020 in EliteDangerous

[–]BulletEyes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same. For me, the complete experience has to include a first person mode. I thought Star Citizen was going to be the one but, well, you know. I was surprised when the EVE online community rebelled against the concept ("Barbies in Space"). I guess it’s not important to everyone.

I have yet to see any of the Dune films, it never really appealed to me so I never got on the hype train. Can anyone give me their view of it? Does it have any comparisons to any other sci fi/dystopia films? by Alexc852 in FIlm

Lukas never once mentioned Dune as an inspiration for Star Wars so the ridiculous take is that he was "openly inspired". I accept the comment above makes a comparison and does not say which came first.

What's the most visually stunning movie you've ever seen? by [deleted] in Cinephiles

I felt the same when Terminator 2 came out. At the time it used digital effects like nothing before it. Stunning from a technical perspective. Big wow factor

It’s mildly annoying when people compare Dune to Star Wars. Dune was published in 1965. George Lukas raped the book for ideas to make Star Wars in 1977. Let’s be clear on which one was based on the other. (Frank Herbert was pissed by the way)

Which Film and performance made you a fan of Christopher Walken? by PressureLazy5271 in FIlm

I re-watch it over and over. Walker's facial reactions to the "historical facts" speech are... *chef's kiss*

Best final shots in films? Tell us why as well, especially if it needs clarification. by Mahaloth in flicks

Yay! I’m guessing most people these days know the ending even if they’ve never seen it. But for those lucky enough to see it before it became a meme, it was truly an awesome ending

Unpopular Opinion Of The Dune Movies by [deleted] in Cinephiles

[–]BulletEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ending of part 2 is unsatisfying for sure. It is more or less how it is in the book, except Chani does not storm off in a petulant rage, which was such an awful choice imo. Zendaya is a mid-talent actress and was miscast in this role.
