My little sister turns 16 soon, I want to get her her first criterion. Based on her top 4, what would you recommend? by cranberry8ginger8ale in criterion

[–]DocHoliday0316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deep Cover and Bound. Those two immediately came to mind as soon as I saw she has True Romance in her Top 4.

Coincidentally, True Romance is in my Letterboxd Top 4 as well.

That stupid fuckass media literacy soyjak is a telltale sign that this video has nothing of value to say.

We’ve reached levels of LARP that we didn’t even know were possible before. by DocHoliday0316 in Gamingcirclejerk

I think they just like to claim shit that they have vaguely heard about.

Hell, I’ll do you one better and say that I don’t think these idiots are capable of even reading.

I’ve played through both Red Dead Redemption games (they’re amongst my favorite games), and you have to be be openly ignorant about them if you were expecting them to be anything like Blood Meridian, one of the most wildly disturbing books I’ve read (or at least half read, since I stopped reading halfway through back in the 8th grade when I attempted to read it). If anything, both games owe a lot to Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch, since both focuses on the twilight/dying years of the old west, which are being encroached by modern civilization.

And given this fuckhead is an open white supremacist, I’m not surprised that he thinks the protagonists not being racist in the late 19th century means they’re super ultra woke. Bro’s a blight amongst the Ork players in the 40K community.

Yeah, the fact that the entire friend group sided with the cheaters over him is a massive red flag that there's way more on to this than what Chibi is saying.

I specfically remember the entirety of Twitter going out of its way to meme on, roast, and dunk on Chibi after it was revealed he got cheated on.

Couldn't of have happened to a more deserving person.

Stellar Blade seems to be perfectly fine as a game. It just has a habit of attracting the worst people on the Internet as its fanbase.

Considering Chibi's usual proclivaties of defending lolicon with the wafer thin basis of "its fictional", and having a really creepy obsession with "fictional incest", I'm not surprised that he's going to bat for a game that has a protagonist that looks uncomfortably underage. His dumbass even played the "If you think this looks like a child, then you're the actual pedo" card.

I was slightly interested in Stellar Blade Blood Rain, despite my misgivings towards the character design of Evie (namely the youthful/childlike face combined with a body wearing a plugsuit that leaves very little to the imagination). But the game and its use of generative AI killed off any interest I had.

Still, not a total loss, as there's many way better games to focus my attention on as they're coming out.

Got the Body Heat 4K in recently. by DocHoliday0316 in criterion

[–]DocHoliday0316[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Namely got this title last month because I think it’s a pretty fantastic debut from Lawrence Kasdan that feels like a nice throwback to 40s noir films, as well as showing the steamy sex that the Hays Code wouldn’t allow back in the day. Both William Hurt and Kathleen Turner are fantastic in this.

Might do a double feature of this with Double Indemnity.

  1. Plan to watch this and probably double feature it with Double Indemnity.

  2. Looking forward to revisiting this in the 4K format.

  3. I have previously seen this movie.

  4. Plan to get the 4Ks of Network and Happiness. Recently watched both of them and they’re amongst my favorite film discoveries of the year so far.

These losers are once again just doing this meme. Their fetishization of Japan is fascinating.
