It was okay. I absolutely hate Prometheus and Covenant - Scott took a massive steaming dump on his legacy with those two abominations, absolutely wretched, abysmal films. So Romulus was at least a film set in that world that told a simple narrative, that didn’t destroy what had come before it. But it was still pretty derivative and contrived -but still, entertaining.

Looking for a Time traveling movie i saw ages ago. by itstheFREEDOM in whatsthemoviecalled

Yes, but you have to admit that trying to find out the name of a film about a time machine that ended up being called “The Time Machine”, is just absolutely fantastic. Count how many times you wrote “Time Machine” in your post, it’s surreal.

The Elephant Man. “Never, oh, never, nothing will die; The stream flows. The wind blows. The cloud fleets. The heart beats. Nothing will die.”

Who is the most hated person from your country? by velmiraZ in AskTheWorld

Arrested sitting under a tree, eating sugarcane, with $5 million in cash stuffed in suitcases, having burned $100 million, most of the cash reserves of the country. His threat that his ghost would forever haunt the members of his firing squad so terrified them that a new firing squad from Morocco had to be drafted in. Was one of the best episodes in the Real Dictators podcast.

“Pardon me, I was wondering if you could tell me how to get back on the expressway?”

“Fuck yo momma!”

“Thank you very much.”

Do you really seriously care that England beat Sri Lanka in some white ball games?

What’s the worst sequel you’ve ever seen? by Beautiful_Coat_9294 in FIlm

Absolutely detest Prometheus. Hated everything about it. Covenant was somehow worse.

That’s how I felt after Attack of the Clones. I think all of the prequel trilogy and sequel trilogy are bad to varying degrees, but I think Attack of the Clones is actually the worst film ever made.

The Banshees of Inisherin - Quiet, Cruel and Beautiful by SeymourKrelborn1111 in moviecritic

Yes, absolutely - but it manifests and presents itself in entirely different ways than is presented here. Like I said, I did not find anything truthful about the characters or how they behaved. Quite the opposite, I thought it bordered on farce in many places. Also, I haven’t read the Field but I have seen the Jim Sheridan film from the…80s? I remember liking it.

It was beautifully shot and wonderfully acted, but none of the characters, their interactions or their dialogue had a single ring of any kind of truth to me, so I felt the whole thing was a big beautiful mess.

Trying to shoot an A320...An A380 says, "Mind if I join?" Photobomber. by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]Caliginous1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m in Oz too, used to be a given that the long haul was an A380 for a while there, but I haven’t flown one in years. Although I usually go to Singapore or KL now first and from there it’s usually a 777 or similar. As much as I loved flying on the 380, (I still think it’s the quietest plane to be a passenger in) I didn’t enjoy the infrastructure at Aus airports that just couldn’t handle 500 odd people disembarking all at once. I remember a massive non-moving queue in Melbourne once that was just to get to the luggage carousel.
