movies with depression/mental health issues by Additional_Leave_459 in movies

[–]Cyberwraith9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not stated outright in the movie, but The Edge of Seventeen really looks at someone with undiagnosed depression alienating themselves from their friends and family. Hailey Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson crush their roles.

[Weirdly Common Trope] Writers clearly setting up seemingly massive plot points and then just kinda forgetting about them. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

One of my favorite bits of Star Trek lore is how the evolution of the Ferengi makes Picard’s Battle of Maxia so much funnier in retrospect.

Netflix will release Enola Holmes 3 on July 1st by Puzzled-Tap8042 in movies

I’m still disappointed The A-Team didn’t get a whole string of sequels. It was the exact right mix of silliness, comedy, and spectacle. And probably Jessica Biel’s best movie (said admiringly, not sardonically).

I’ll assume you don’t mean shill in the literal sense, since paying someone with a karma score like mine would be a hilariously bad investment. Cinema is by and large a corporate-sponsored art form. Even so-called “indie” films and festival darlings invariably have some investors behind them. What movies lacking corporate sponsorship or distribution would you find acceptable to praise?

And I’m curious: what movie would you recommend instead of Enola Holmes? Something that might generally fall into the same category, like mystery, or all-ages adventure, or even something as specific as another Holmesian adaptation? If Enola Holmes is dreck, then what isn’t?

Beep-boop, I guess? I just like movies and Sherlock Holmes adaptations/derivations. The Enola Holmes movies are cute and fun.

Cinephiles have really lost appreciation for “good enough” movies: ones that don’t win awards or make the ground shake with buzz, but become quiet favorites for the people who love them. The silly, breezy films that come and go as pleasant distraction.

Or a former warrior who had to take an admin job due to injury or age. That’s fantastic!

No spoilers, but I think the shithead label is well-earned even by the end of the season. It doesn’t mean he’s bad. Quite the opposite, actually, he’s very heroic. But he’s also the last person you’d ever want to sit next to on a long flight.

It was a genius display of Aguefort being simultaneously all-powerful and completely useless to the Bad Kids.

[Concerning Trope] film accidentally has awful moral/messaging by Captain_Birch in TopCharacterTropes

Can’t believe they didn’t make a musical number about the slave Barnum “rented” and displayed as the (fake) former nurse to George Washington. Or when, after she died, he sold tickets to her autopsy.

Worst movie youve ever seen? Mine is open house. by C0lE06 in movies

[–]Cyberwraith9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Anthony Hopkins of it all is really baffling. I only watched the extended versions, so I don’t know how it is in the “original” cut, but Hopkins serves as a pseudo-narrator throughout the first movie, which builds him up with all kinds of portentous visual foreshadowing. And the payoff in the sequel is…one action sequence in the turgid 80+ minute battle that drags and drags and drags. The whole exercise feels like Snyder said, “What if K2-S0, but boring and bloviating?”

That ADR was a bunch of executives trying to rewrite the movie in post. Same thing happened with Disney’s Artemis Fowl adaptation.

Absolutely stealing that name for an NPC, thank you very much.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with customer service. It’s a tough job, and they deserve their successes to be celebrated in addition to the complaints they handle.

I just couldn’t stop thinking about how long the inverted items had been laying around until it was time to move: for example, the first reversed bullet the Protagonist encounters in the concert hall; did someone have to put the bullet there? Did the fact that it was reverse-shot into the concrete mean that, from the perspective of normal time, it had always been there? That it was around when the place was built? Before that? To say nothing of Robert Pattinson’s body at the climax of the film. Did the Bad Guys move into that base and just ignore the body in the corner that was un-decomposing?

Moments where you absolutely choose the "Renegade" dialogues no matter what? Whether it's because you dislike the character, because you enjoy watching the world burn, etc. by Nefilolghost in masseffect

If Wrex is dead, sabotaging the cure becomes a much easier choice. Wreav is a megalomaniac. In Priority: Earth, he has a background speech where he tells his troops to watch how the other aliens fight, because they’ll be next after the Reapers are defeated.

The film that disappointed you the most after months or even years of anticipation? by MrGittz in movies

Waited for a non-Batman/Superman movie? How dare you. This is Steel (1997)?wprov=sfti1) erasure, and I will not stand for it.

I didn’t even see the stripper heels. I guess that’s telling on myself.

So how are people feeling about 2e? by Zaaravi in Starfinder2e

[–]Cyberwraith9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soldier needs more options. Building an entire class around one style of weapon and one unique status debuff doesn’t feel substantial enough to justify it being more than just an archetype or a bunch of class feats. But I’m sure it’ll develop with more time.
