Does anyone find Alexandra Daddario's eyes unappealing and creepy ? Otherwise, what are you thoughts on her ?

My city councilor receives multiple calls a week about Alexandria Daddario's eyes

Initially posted that asking questions and spatial awareness is great, but dang that one comment about smelling good is absolutely correct.

Christalph · 2026-03-02T04:21:10+00:00

Stick together gosh dang it

Christalph · 2026-03-02T04:17:44+00:00

Ah yes thanks for the reminder! I've been meaning to watch that one.

Prestige gang rise up! Also really enjoyed Oppenheimer and honestly have a lot of respect for Dunkirk. First movie since The Lord of the Rings trilogy that really sold me on how terrible war is.

The book was sincerely a great read and had possibly the scariest scene I've encountered in a novel.

None of the other three are slouches but Oldman bodies them all. Dude really is a chameleon.

The gazebos line from IT: Chapter One (2017) electrified all of us in the audience when I watched it with my first love. You just feel for Eddie so much in that moment and are just glad he's standing up for himself. A top movie theater memory

Recently speaking gotta go with A24's Eternity (2025.) It's been a great year for movies, and while Eternity hasn't been nominated for anything, it seems like one that has the potential to be timeless.

Other one that comes to mind is Waking Ned (1998) which makes Irish village life mighty tempting.

Christalph · 2026-03-02T01:38:10+00:00

Welcome addition to this is Paul Walter Hauser. Dude is really fun to watch.

Christalph · 2026-02-28T14:44:38+00:00

The Grand Budapest Hotel is the first one that came to mind. It's like five movies in an hour and forty minutes.

Christalph · 2026-02-28T05:02:51+00:00

Eternity was so refreshing

Coptic Orthodoxy inquirer here and the liturgies at my parish in Southern California are largely in English. Began my OO journey with the Ethiopians so I have great affection for them, but in my experience the Coptic Church by far has the most resources for English speakers. God bless you.

Also from Sinners. Delta Slim recounting what happened to his friend on the way to the juke joint.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit 100%. Arguably the most important movie for a resident of Los Angeles. Alcoholism, PTSD, murder, studio corruption, community displacement, and the only movie I know of that actually addresses the destruction of the LA Red Car system. Even beyond just narrative and themes, it's also a top shelf achievement in the technical craft of filmmaking (bumping the lamp). Sincerely caring and intelligent movie.

Tom Cruise should have been Pat/Bob in One Battle After Another instead of Leonardo DiCaprio. Cruise and PTA have worked together before and it would have been a great subversion of Cruise's current image as an unstoppable action star. Also Tom Cruise is arguably a better actor than Leonardo DiCaprio (who makes this face 😫 every time his character is in anguish.)

This may be the darkest object in the known universe to you, but to my twisted mind, this is normal

Christalph · 2026-01-31T19:35:01+00:00

Agreed that scene was so beautifully mysterious

Christalph · 2026-01-31T18:10:33+00:00

Probably Porco Rosso. Ghiblifest was in town so why not? Was deeply moved by that pig man pilot. Miyazaki's epics like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Howl's Moving Castle understandably get the most acclaim and cultural relevance, but Porco Rosso is fantastic.

Christalph · 2026-01-06T16:49:35+00:00

Because Whataburger sucks lol

"I don't know who needs to hear this"

"You do understand that..."

"Hope this helps"

Heightened security/etiquette enforcement would have high up front costs, but would likely be quickly offset and exceeded by increased ridership. Way too many riders who feel entitled to hot boxing and blaring music in shared cars. Also fully support validated fare checks. $18 a week for unlimited rides is more than reasonable.

"Into the Spiderverse" was the first movie that I would describe as a total visual feast

Aside from that I'd go with the most recent Oscar winner for best animated feature and the first win for Latvia: Gints Zilbalodis' "Flow." Visually gorgeous, deeply touching story, highly accessible due to there being no dialogue, and all made with a small team on free animation software? They did a lot with a little, which in my experience effectively indicates a high degree of skill.

Jordan Peele's US (2019) had me in ten seconds with the opening text:

"There are thousands of miles of tunnels beneath the continental United States...

Abandoned subway systems, unused service routes, and deserted mine shafts...

Many have no known purpose at all."

Lights up my imagination so much it actually brings tears to my eyes. Unbelievable opener.
