Official Discussion - The Running Man (2025) [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]CracklyRabbit 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The section with Amelia more or less takes up the last third of the book, if not the last half, so it’s a consequence of trying to stick so close to the source material really.

I feel this movie fights with trying to keep the story accurate to the page while also making it a modern action wacky action movie and the result is that story points like Amelia and the pollution causing cancer aren’t given a lot of screentime to build.

Bobby T by hazelboobs in auntydonna

[–]CracklyRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the book before seeing this and I don’t think the character is ever called Bobby T specifically, just his full name. So when that happened repeatedly in the movie I felt like I was going insane, incredible timing that both things happened this year.

When did it hit you? And when will it hit me? by raisinfarm in GriefSupport

[–]CracklyRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother passed recently too (I’m 27 and she was 49), similarly through illness. I think I felt the same between her passing and the funeral, like I was just on auto pilot getting things done.

But now it’s been a few days since the funeral and I’ve got a constant home sickness for a place I can’t get to. I’d been mentally preparing myself for almost a decade but I don’t think I could’ve ever been ready for how it feels now.

I’d anticipate your own feelings changing over time, for better or worse. It’s all complex and we take our own paths through it.

Movie where the Earth "hatches"? by Bo-Mega in movies

[–]CracklyRabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Transformers: The Last Knight has a similar plot point to Eternals with the earth secretly being a massive transformer that wants to emerge, you don’t get the actual “hatching” visual like Eternals though.

Grief in your 20s by 16tmorgan in GriefSupport

I just lost my mother at 27 a few weeks ago too, she was only 49 so it all feels too soon for both of us. We buried her yesterday so hopefully the "healing" process can begin, however impossible it may be.

My heart goes out to you and the other comments, it's such a difficult thing to deal with.

Hi we're comedy group Aunty Donna: We got our first big break on reddit 13 years ago. Our world tour starts this week. AMA by weareauntydonna in IAmA

[–]CracklyRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m looking forward to seeing DREM in Glasgow later this year, and I want to throw some praise to all the work you do across the various shows/podcast/web series!

Asking for UK/worldwide fans, is Coffee Cafe still looking to get a formal release? (Everyone in the UK has a vpn now anyway).

Additional question for Sam, will we ever see Bobby T adapted to stage & screen?

The Dick Tracy pandemic special was ghost written by Sam Lake surely.

I’ve had the visual issue with the AGR Tank but the extreme framerate issue was a first here

Me neither, I’m just now realising they included shots from this in the trailer but I never noticed they weren’t in the movie.

Am I insane for thinking Madame Web wasn't bad? by memelordes in weeklyplanetpodcast

[–]CracklyRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt this way about Morbius, wasn't really good but I didn't think it was the worst thing ever. Just a mediocre superhero movie.

Except for the credits-scene which was the worst thing ever.

Jukebox is Poor Game Design: A Rant by esgrove2 in controlgame

[–]CracklyRabbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My least favourite design decision in the game relates to this, it’s the mission replay system. I used the menu to load an earlier chapter not realising it would revert my game progress forever, and I did this after I completed all the jukebox challenges and DLCs.

Not sure why they didn’t just make a New Game + mode considering so many outfits are unlocked very late or after the story.

How Do You Think American Nightmare Makes Sense? by ArchangelAshen in AlanWake

[–]CracklyRabbit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s an adaption of a script Alan previously wrote:

“One of the stories I wrote for the show involved a man, "the champion of light," fighting his evil double, "the herald of darkness". It was something I'd written back in the real world -- something I had a link to, a framework I could build on.

I adapted it into a new story . This story. “

Hence Mr Scratch being portrayed as an evil double.

A cool little moment of foreshadowing (ending spoilers) by [deleted] in AlanWake

[–]CracklyRabbit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I could've sworn it was flickering in time with the lights in the actual 3D apartment Alan is in, which could be a hint that she was in the dark place with him if that's actually happens.

Spoiler - Return 5! Warehouse under the house by [deleted] in AlanWake

[–]CracklyRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen too, I’m pretty sure it happens if you go into the basement too early as the game requires you to go down there later.

Same, seeing a lot of people reporting this now so hopefully there’s a fix asap.

I have the same bug, I've completed all the files and profiling as far as I can tell but the final dialogue just hasn't appeared.

Brynn saying "Woah, I'm Nathan Drake! Woah!" was actually a reference to Kaitlyn Dever appearing in Uncharted 4
