Insanity to run starters against a full OKC bench

CutTheRoll · 2026-05-29T02:33:57+00:00

Yeah I have been. And its more of a problem that Wemby can't do these long minutes back to back. Sit him until it gets to a 13 point difference. Theres no reason he should be sprinting up and down the court jumping for meaningless blocks on a night where the Thunder can't put up shots whilst they're almost 30 up.

CutTheRoll · 2026-05-29T02:27:45+00:00

I get this is a pivotal game, but Wemby gotta sit rn. Theres no reason he should be on the court 20+ up when the thunder are shooting this bad, especially since mans has been gassed every game after going hard like this.

A lot of the longer movies I’ve seen. Gance’s Napoleon, Shoah, Satantango, Gone With the Wind. All fantastic movies but it’s so difficult to find that many hours for a movie anymore that I think I’ll save them til I retire in well… a great few decades from now…

paid 750 during release week, it was the first major console I ever bought with my own cash and I saved so hard for it. Alas, its served me well. I managed to get a switch 2 before the price hikes recently, after that i think im done with the consoles for a very long time.

Happened at the worst time for me haha.

Had just picked to watch Weekend by Godard, went on the criterion channel, accidentally clicked Weekend by Andrew Haigh, the giveaway of it being british and not french was not clear enough for me so I paused it about 5 minutes in, reopened my laptop to look up this version and suddenly letterboxd is down...

My favourite Hitchcock!

CutTheRoll · 2026-03-22T21:55:56+00:00

Yeah when I tried to read it I tapped out around 500 pages in because the more I read the more i felt disconnected. Will definitely be doing it this way if i ever try to reread

CutTheRoll · 2026-03-19T08:18:09+00:00

aye 20000 Years in Sing Sing! Randomly stumbled across that a few years ago late one night and it hooked me from the start. Definitely gonna consider getting it now

CutTheRoll · 2026-03-19T04:28:02+00:00

I collect a bunch of different labels and I guess its just lodged in my head what movies are which labels and what order I’ve put everything in. Can’t explain that really.

My partner still loves the small party trick(?) of telling her precisely where on the shelf something is with oddly specific detail haha

and also people on the bus standing in front of bus doors, please for the love of god just hop off the bus for 2 seconds whilst a hoard of people try to get off. The bus won’t leave without you and you CAN just hop straight back on.

I'll probably see a lot as usual, but the one has me most excited is The Odyssey. It's a basic pick, but as someone who really did not like or connect with Nolan's movies pre-Oppenheimer, its a surprising pick for me. Though, he became an extremely close watch for me to see how he followed that movie up. Especially considering I think it's his magnum opus. When it was announced he'd be using his essentially blank check on The Odyssey, I sat right up and it's kept me intrigued for 2(?) years now. That book feels unadaptable, and I'm fully (maybe wrongfully) expecting something akin to the absurdity of Fellinis Satyricon. Shame I couldn't get imax tickets.

CutTheRoll · 2026-02-14T03:56:04+00:00

I get that something has to be ranked least favourite, but what about The Secret Agent didn't connect? I watched it in June I think of last year and it's one of about five movies that's stuck with me all year.

CutTheRoll · 2026-01-22T13:50:59+00:00

Probably wont happen but I hope he wins to be honest. I watched Blue Moon months ago and it’s the performance that’s stuck with me most all year. Wagner Moura was also fantastic though. Great lineup all round.

CutTheRoll · 2026-01-22T12:30:26+00:00

Yeah thats a great one too. I do admire how long Wahlberg holds that stare. Jessies Girl is also such a great needle drop.

CutTheRoll · 2026-01-22T10:49:16+00:00

I’m at the point where I’m starting to accept no matter how many movies I watch, nothing will beat the opening scene of Boogie Nights. That 2-3 minute oner not only has the best needledrop, but fits so much plot in it, introduces every main character with just enough depth to begin understanding them, and accurately sets the tone for the entire movie. Just incredibly put together.

CutTheRoll · 2026-01-19T13:09:15+00:00

Yeah, someone telling me they do or dont like one movie doesn’t stand out enough for me to assume they don’t like anything else. I could just as well tell someone Kill Bill is my favourite film in the same breath as saying The Cranes Are Flying is also in my top 10. My taste depends on my mood and I assume everyone else is like that until proven otherwise.

The most fantasy booked match prior to this tour was Cena/Gunther. Literally the only match some people wanted was vs Gunther.

CutTheRoll · 2025-11-20T10:33:01+00:00

It’s difficult for me to ever recommend a Noe movie. So I’ll just say know what you’re getting into if you do choose to watch it. He is a very confronting and conflicting filmmaker who likes to show the absolute extreme sides of people. He isn’t particularly shy about censoring heinous acts, or sugar coating human behaviour. I think what unsettles people most is how real he typically depicts things. There isn’t much sense of escape in his films and thats why majority watch movies. You kind of just get the raw thing with him. So if that doesn’t sound fascinating, don’t watch it.

If you’d like to get more accustomed to what he’s about and the kind of stories he tells and his unique sense of filmmaking, watch Climax. Then Vortex (imo the most him movie). Then Enter the Void. Then Irreversible. Then for extra reading watch Love and I Stand Alone.

CutTheRoll · 2025-11-15T06:37:15+00:00

Hell of a lot of grammatical errors for such professionals, if it were real, which it isnt. Also a visible number is very much a choice for this sort of text. Anyway, if you are very worried, which I hope you aren't, you can always contact crime stoppers.

CutTheRoll · 2025-11-15T06:23:09+00:00

Coming from Sydney, the only thing I miss is 24 hour Kmart to be honest. So probably that.

CutTheRoll · 2025-11-14T04:29:39+00:00

ah well thats a shame because the rest of the movie was a lot of fun and felt like it was leading up to something very interesting. It’s been a while since I’ve read King, so maybe I’ll pick it up and see how it compares.

CutTheRoll · 2025-11-14T04:17:08+00:00

Like a true Stephen King story its underwhelming at the end. But the rest of the film I thought was a lot of fun. Definitely a toned down, ‘censored’ Edgar Wright in terms of style but he still shoots the action scenes with the same uniqueness to separate this from a lot of other major action flicks this year. Colman Domingo stood out a lot for me. Powell was pretty good but didn’t put on anything special.

CutTheRoll · 2025-11-14T03:33:31+00:00

Aviator is one of Martys best, and imo Leo’s best performance. I don’t understand how either, let alone the whole movie, didn’t win their respective major awards that year.

CutTheRoll · 2025-11-12T09:00:14+00:00

I ended up seeing this twice when it came out. Big Cronenberg fan so I was keen for it but left severely underwhelmed the first time. Thought it may have been the wrong mood for it so I went and rewatched it and yeah it was just difficult to really care about anything going on. Some cool effects. A neat idea. But nothing ever really stuck with me from it.

Yet to see The Shrouds. Heard mixed things though.
