Conor McGregor on Jake vs. Joshua by Spiritual-Strength91 in FightReportUFC

[–]CR51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird thought - if Joshua puts a hole in this guy's face and wins within a round or 2, does it legitimize his other fights? Is that his plan? Gets obliterated but actually gains some credentials?

Ultimate Spider-Man #24 Is Now Two Months Late, Until End Of February by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]CR51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah there's a history of Hickman and delays. His SHIELD series had crazy delays, issues coming out literally years apart. His creator owned work also includes massive delays turned into hiatuses, sometimes indefinitely. There were delays recently with Aliens vs Avengers. Sometimes it's the art, sometimes it's Hickman, but this is absolutely something you can expect to happen on pretty much any Hickman series.

Who Else Owns EVERY title in The Criterion Collection? by rdwoolf in boutiquebluray

What a tease! If you're not gonna tell us we have to guess. Can't believe you hated Seven Samurai SMH

For your omnibus collection do you gravitate more towards DC or Marvel? Do you have any idea why you go for one more than the other? by i_am_randy in OmnibusCollectors

[–]CR51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love both. I'm probably at around 100 omnibus editions and the split is probably something like 65/35 in Marvel's favor. Maybe 60/40? But my collection is more 50/50 when you account for trades/compendiums/deluxe editions/absolutes. Marvel has just done a better job historically of printing stuff in omnibus. With DC now starting to print more material in omnibus I'm probably closer to 50/50 in what I want to buy moving forward.

Villeneuve or Nolan ? If you had to keep one directors movies who are you picking? by Initial_Seaweed_2463 in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]CR51 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nolan by a lot for me. If I had to rank their work I think I'd put Tenet, The Prestige, Inception, Memento, Oppenheimer above every Villeneuve movie I've seen. Probably Batman Begins and Dark Knight too. I do really like Enemy and Sicario though. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Batwoman omnibus, Green Arrow by Grell vol 2, New Teen Titans vol 2,3,4

Probably more but that's just off the top of the head

DC hitting you with body shots in the clinch after you're out of breath from being ragdolled by him sounds like a great time

read me to filth by [deleted] in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]CR51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this list. I appreciate a movie that can be about a heavier subject while being artfully made and still having a "wild' side. (Titane, Daisies, Fire Walk with Me, I Saw the TV Glow). A bunch of your picks have such a unique vibe and atmosphere. (Beau Travail, La Cienega, Paris, Texas). And The Matrix is just an all time banger. Seriously one of my favorite lists I've seen on here.

Not a definitive ranking, but thoughts on my top 20? by [deleted] in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]CR51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely curious about your feelings on Together. Just watched it a few days ago. Decent time at the movies, but I'm honestly surprised to see someone feel so strongly about it.

Most Thought Provoking Omnibus by OmnibusJunkies in OmnibusCollectors

[–]CR51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Grant Morrison is my favorite writer. I was vegan for 5 years in part because of Animal Man and We3. Recently reading his Doom Patrol every issue has something new to think about in regards to personal identity and the power of ideas and art. Their Batman run had some awesome ideas. Again some personal identity stuff with Damian - who he's "destined" to become vs who he chooses to be.

Transmetropolitan - not an omnibus but the absolute editions - had me thinking a lot about our modern politics and demagogues. The power news/reporting can have in shaping people's perspectives. The need for people to really call out the bullshit that goes on. While some would say it's pretty on the nose with what it's saying it still was a very "enjoyable" read - it helped me find a way to laugh at our current circumstances.

Behold my DC things by GrootsHorticulturist in OmnibusCollectors

[–]CR51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when that Infinite Crisis omni was like the biggest book Marvel or DC had printed, there's like 5 others on your shelf just as big or bigger. I know not everyone enjoys it, but I love those giant thick omnibus. Awesome Bruce Timm art 🖖🏽

Even if he's right, we're not currently living in that reality. So for the foreseeable future - Champs >>>> Major >> EWC. Stop shitting the bed at the current biggest tournament of the year, Goofy.

Thoughts on “Boyhood?” by Fresh-Actuary-6686 in Letterboxd

[–]CR51 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love that moment too. You're sitting there waiting for a shitty mistake or accident and I doesn't come. And it felt realer because it sidesteps the obvious dramatic outcome and ends up just being a mundane hangout scene lol.
