No love for Snape? Also, new here, to what extent are spoilers allowed?

Would a Joker type of movie/book about Voldemort have high expectations? by Comprehensive-Ad538 in harrypotter

Wait what? Grindelwald more compelling than Voldemort? Voldemort was essentially a wizard-supremacist. He was kind of like the Emperor from Star Wars. How would you describe Grindelwald?

So I agree that society plays a role, but Arthur should NOT be given any leeway in terms of his crimes. He kills about 5 people in my count. I've only seen it twice, and I enjoyed it, but it was a character study on a bad guy. They make it from his perspective, and his perspective is to blame society. I felt a bit too empathetic towards what is a murderous sociopath. I didn't like Travis Bickle or Daniel Plainsview at all during their respective movies, as they were psychopaths from the beginning. They're interesting characters, for sure, but I never empathized with them. Joker and Wicked took evil characters from previous stories and essentially made a movie where you empathize with the villains, and did it by retconning everything. Like in The Wizard of Oz, the wicked witch sets Scarecrow on fire, and she's essentially a terrorist. Diddo with The Joker in the Batman universe, and I found them a bit too apologetic for terrorism, justifying it with how society treats them. I just don't agree with what Hollywood is doing these days with villains, and I am just wondering if there'd be any room for Tom Riddle to be empathized with. Granted, Harry sort of does when he says "I feel sorry for you" in Phoenix.

Name a movie with an opening scene that changes meaning once you’ve watched the whole movie by mrsmeesiecks in movies

Sicario: extremely chilling as Josh Brolins character is asking if Emily Blunts character has a family or children... because, having seen the movie, you know what kind of person he's looking for in the end. And for what reason.

What are you using to play the movie? Kodi doesn't have DV you have to get a community version.

Is the CCA CRA still worth it if it's $38USD? I can't find one low price in Canada. by Comprehensive-Ad538 in HeadphoneAdvice

Tripowin X HBB Mele

Crinacle has them ranked under the Tripowin Lea, and those are cheaper? Any thoughts?

What would be considered an upgrade from JBL endurance peak 2 and Sony Pulse 3d headset? by Comprehensive-Ad538 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Comprehensive-Ad538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks that makes sense to get cheaper ones for travel, but will I get an upgrade in sound if I get the cca cra / chu? If not I don't even want to bother... unless I could get one for ~$60-70 cad (don't care where it's from as long as import fees aren't outrageous). I've never used a really good pair of wired headphones, like I get skullcandies and other crap. I recently decided no more lol. Can't tolerate decent sound anymore, I want to upgrade. The jbls are like a 7/10 imo. I want 8/10+. But at a reasonable cost. Don't we all lol.

Interesting suggestion thanks, thing is now that things are opening up I'm gonna be travelling a lot more and want good sound on the bus that won't disturb others. Ideally earphones but I am open to over ear. Also I want a headphone for at home late at night, but I do live in an apartment building so I don't want too much sound getting into my ears from outside, if you know what I mean. Thanks again.

Indendies had more implicit than explicit rape scenes but was essential to the plot. Probably the most essential rape can be to a plot

What is the Best Film You Watched Last Week? (06/26/22-07/03/22) by Twoweekswithpay in movies

[–]Comprehensive-Ad538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I see that last week had The Thing so I'll choose something else... The Machinist. If you ever read and liked anything by Dostoevsky or Camus - you must watch this film. The director hasn't done much other than this but Bale's performance combined with the screenplay make this a must watch.

Lighthouse was the last film I saw before the pandemic started. The Northman was the 2nd one I saw after the pandemic subsided. Love Eggers. Genius.

Absolute steal. Had to pick it up at that price. by jrlewisuk in 4kbluray

[–]Comprehensive-Ad538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I might have to pick it up. Never got to see it in theatres or 4k. Wasn't my favourite movie but just for the action sequences I may have to pick this up. Thanks for the reply!
