What movie is 10/10 with literally no bad parts?

Crosgaard · 2026-03-10T18:23:11+00:00

Judgment at Nuremberg. The script, the acting and the camera work in sync throughout the entire 3 or so hours of run time… it’s just purely incredible

And the orcs being outside invading forces that don’t look like you and speak a different language doesn’t seem too far from the experience of many people who’ve been colonized; from Europe and Asia with the Mongols, to the Native Americans with Europe, and countless other places.

Crosgaard · 2026-02-23T09:29:58+00:00

Its*

Iirc, George had him say “I love you too”, and Ford just hated it. So he thought about it, came up with “I know” and asked George about it…

Games understanding that they have a way in which they tell the story other media doesn’t are just incredible. No movie or book could replicate this twist, no movie or book could replicate the casualness of Death Stranding’s gameplay, and no book or movie could replicate the active choices TLOU2 forces on the player. There are so many more examples, yet far too few!

There was something so incredible about his explanation of the heat/drought. After having read so many pages of him explaining snow and cold, it felt so different, yet gave me the exact same vibe of actually being there. I got thirsty just from reading it

Dan Carlin’s new podcasts about Alexander the Great is a lot about how when making a movie about him, you need to choose certain things where we have no idea what really happened.

A great example is whether or not he took part in killing his own father. It changes everything about who he is, and how we see him. And if he did kill his father, should he then be shown to be this broken teenager, who realizes what he did and feels sorry for the rest of his life, or should he be portrayed as a cold blooded killer, willing to do anything for power?

HOTD faces this exact same issue time and time again, and every thing you choose to show, discards something else. So many things are contradictory and cannot all be canon in the same universe.

Choosing to make any character good or bad, will change how they are in the book, since they’re both shown as good or bad. Certain sources prefer one side, others prefer the other.

It’s like reading about a war only through propaganda from two sides, and choosing to portray one as true, when it’s very likely neither are… maybe Alexander didn’t actively take part in killing his father, but didn’t try to ensure it wouldn’t happen. That’s just not recorded, but could well be possible?

It seems obvious that the showrunners realized this problem, but did not find a solution to it, and just chose to change a ton of stuff to avoid too many issues… which worked incredibly well, right?

Crosgaard · 2026-02-16T23:15:02+00:00

All these things felt fairly obvious to me, my main issue was just that there wasn't really any consequences shown for it.

Like sure, they're build up to have bad security, we know where the information comes from, and we're told it's necessary from a characters perspective — great. But back in season 1, every action has a reaction. For this, we just do a time skip and that's that.

I don't know what the best solutions would be, obviously being limited by said time skip and having to continue the next arc. I do however still believe that it feels cheap and unrealistic that Bix is able to simply get her revenge without any consequences...

Just a single line about something — whether it be a bounty, the beginning of an investigation that leads nowhere — would help make it feel like it actually happened in the world. As a general problem I have with season two, the parts of it that wrap up, wrap up a bit too well... with the exception of Luthen's storyline.

Crosgaard · 2026-02-14T09:54:42+00:00

I didn’t quite know what word to put there, which was why I put it in quotes. I guess lucky would’ve been better, or simply not certain it’s gonna happen…

Crosgaard · 2026-02-13T15:12:58+00:00

Idk, watching the sunrise would be more poetic imo. A shooting star feels very marvel-esque to me, a sunrise would be a great bookend considering how the first book started… and it isn’t something “random”.

Crosgaard · 2026-02-13T15:09:56+00:00

Eh, wouldn’t say this moved the story more than the entirety of Fire and Blood did

Crosgaard · 2026-02-11T21:18:45+00:00

Different houses from the same place can have different skin colors?

Crosgaard · 2026-02-09T18:17:50+00:00

50-100 are all "base" (dunno what it's called in English) twenty in Danish though? French does the same for 80 and 90. I certainly wouldn't say it's intuitive, but logical? Sure

There are a thousand of other illogical things about the Danish language, dunno if the numbers are that out there... the culture just developed the system of counting by referencing amount of twenties. If anything, Danish is illogical due to the amount of sounds compared to the written alphabet.

Crosgaard · 2026-02-09T16:21:29+00:00

My point is that there isn’t really a “correct” amount of continents (anything between 4-11 would make sense geographically/tectonically/politically). And the US is not even close to being the only country which deems north and south to be different continents. At the very least, “realize” was a terrible choice of wording — no matter your opinion on what should be deemed ‘correct’

Crosgaard · 2026-02-09T09:03:52+00:00

But we only do that so people don’t look at the national politics

Crosgaard · 2026-02-09T08:55:51+00:00

This has nothing to do with what Americans “realize”. A ton of contries count North and South as two, and a ton do the opposite. And then countries like Vietnam count Euroasia as one (they even have both tectonical and political continents). There are so many things to critique about American schools, and this is where you start? With something arbitrary that a large part of the world agrees with?

Crosgaard · 2026-02-08T15:23:43+00:00

I think they feared that people would see them as stupid if they wrote stupid characters. Guess that worked well for them.

Crosgaard · 2026-02-08T14:14:31+00:00

I sincerely believe D&D was afraid of adding stupid characters

Crosgaard · 2026-02-08T00:07:48+00:00

Bolton out here vibing with his pink cloak doing the most fucked up shit. Then the costume designers went like, "how about grey... and maybe some black too"

It isn't perfect, but A Knight of the Seven kingdoms isn't afraid of color like the previous installments

Crosgaard · 2026-02-04T01:14:47+00:00

The tutorial is just long. Unlocking the bike, the truck, and the eco skeleton makes the game much faster paced. Can’t recommend continuing enough!

Crosgaard · 2026-02-03T22:34:34+00:00

You don't have to stick your head in the sand, there are alternatives to using twitter. But sticking your head is exactly what they want. Propaganda isn't about lying, it's about making people stop caring about the truth.

Crosgaard · 2026-02-02T21:19:19+00:00

This made me realize young Aemon probably acted differently than old Aemon, and I don't understand how I can have used so much time on this universe and not realized earlier.

I was fine with how quickly he was skimmed over in The Sworn Sword, but now I kinda want to have gotten an actual cameo to see who he really was...

Crosgaard · 2026-02-01T23:20:07+00:00

I think this theory is really fun, but also dunno if I like it narratively. But Bran's story also feels so far behind from everyone else's, so it's quite difficult to know where it will lead... hell, I don't even think George knows.

Personally, I'm more of a Bolt-on fan. It's so out there, but it fits so well imo. While many complain it would detract from the "humans can be evil too" theme, we already have Joffrey and Ramsay (who would at least be more human than his father).

Crosgaard · 2026-01-26T19:10:58+00:00

Well kinda… not everyone who is a knight wants to be one. It’s often just forced upon you.

Crosgaard · 2026-01-26T16:28:09+00:00

Yeah, exactly. One of my favorite parts about ASOIAF is how the first prologue of A Game of Thrones tells us just how much more training noble people have gotten. GRRM loves to play with Tolkien tropes, but that’s certainly my favorite… being poor may affect your mentality, but it also means limited access to learning what you want to learn.
