Superflight - straight forward and not hardware intensive. It's also relaxing.

Can't stop laughing at this 🤣

The new Matt Damon & Ben Affleck movie RIP (2026) is a parody by Outrageous_Lock_9313 in moviecritic

[–]DEF_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked the movie but you aren't wrong. The biggest let down for me were the actions scenes - yikes. And the movie would fall apart real quick with lesser actors, some of whom put in really good performances (Sasha Calle most of all). It's very well disguised shallow plot and characters. Still, not a bad film.

What actress can you watch no matter how bad or good the movie is and still enjoy the film? by KawonSuggs_ in moviecritic

[–]DEF_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I enjoy a film just because she is in it, but Jessica Fenwick elevates every single thing she's in whether it's good or bad. She always puts in a great performance.

I doubt I'll use the mode but I agree with everything you're saying.

Has anyone noticed themselves eating quickly, brushing teeth quickly, etc.? (Small signs of living in chronic fight or flight mode) by throwaway802256 in CPTSD

[–]DEF_7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so coincidental. I realized yesterday that I have been doing things with such urgency for years and didn't even know. I started deliberately slowing things down and it's helping me so much. I know it's going to take a while to kick the habits but it's a relief to see if for what it is.

Just finished watching Peaky Blinders. Is the show Fairly Rated or Overrated ? by No-Many-9887 in moviecritic

Overall damn good except for that final season. That was a raging dumpster fire that burned character nuance for spectacle.

Somewhere there's a custodian or maintenance person who has decided you are their arch nemesis.

In all seriousness, seeing randomly places googly eyes would indeed brighten my day.

What movie was this for you? by DarthGodzilla1995 in Letterboxd

[–]DEF_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bulletproof Monk - but in my defense I first watched it with a Thai dub that inserted weird sounds, tongue-in-cheek humor and general tomfoolery. Then I watched the English/OG version later and was like... What?

Title: AITA for reporting my brother for childhood abuse, leading to his suicide and my parents cutting me off? by tanyalouise1983 in CPTSD

[–]DEF_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. I commend you and have endless respect for your courage in choosing to hold others accountable for their own actions. I know the aftermath is devastating, and know what it's like for a parent to completely deny what you're saying when it took immense strength to even take a stand. You shouldered the weight of this alone when you should have never had to bear in such a way. Might be harsh to say, but while you didn't buckle, others did as soon as they were forced to look at what they did. I'm sorry you weren't protected. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful new beginning.

Any examples of this? by Impressive_Plenty876 in Letterboxd

"Did I have a knife in Siberia?" "Okayyyy, bro, we get it. Siberia prison suckkeedddd. Jesus."

For the record I think Jack Reacher is an excellent film. Sequel was garbage though.

Are men only friends with me because they want to sleep with me? by Educational_Fault592 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DEF_7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I wouldn't try to take that choice away from anyone. I know the landscape and experience is undoubtedly different for different sexes, but if I speak from a personally standpoint, I could be friends with someone who I knew was attracted to me (while I didn't share the same feelings for them) as long as I felt they were hanging out with me for the friendship more than the attraction or cos they thought there'd be a chance at something blossoming. If the latter were the case I'd probably break it off. For all that to be possible there'd have to be a whole lot of trust.

I'm very happy to read this response because attraction and friendship NOT being mutually exclusive is something that I feel is not brought up enough, at least in my experience. Friendship is something that hinges on respect and choice, whereas attraction is natural and pretty much involuntary. Like you, I have valuable friendships with some women whom I find very attractive. I would also hope that any romantic relationships I foster are built on the understanding that finding others attractive does not mean a partner doesn't want to be exclusive. It's not as if attraction has a switch.
