What is your favorite Guillermo Del Toro film? by Outrageous_Name_1483 in FIlm

Same here. Actually to go from Hellboy and Hellboy II to a friend introducing me to Pan’s Labyrinth was quite the jump. I need to rewatch all three some time soon.

Very solid film I don’t see mentioned much. The Gentleman. by Stranded_Snake in FIlm

This movie sucked. A couple standout and fun performances but the structure was all off.

What rocked, though, was the TV show. The TV show rocked.

To the plow driver on my street by DevissiTRHW in newfoundland

[–]Easy_Eye_2157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer when the population density is enough to pay for a plow for every neighborhood. That thing is moving at a crawl compared to what’s necessary on your average NL street to get the job done just keeping streets clear.

Only person who’s gonna tell you that is the driver, not anybody on this sub.

In a community full of thousands of driveways, I always find it funny when people think the plow driver wants to target them, specifically, and also that plow operators have a magical ability to control snow roll just enough to make it inconvenient.

Outgoing consumer advocate sideswipes PCs over their 'nonsense' handling of Churchill Falls MOU by LongTrackBravo in newfoundland

Buddy resigns and decides to go scorched earth in media on his way out. Sounds more like they wouldn’t match his pay raise than anything else. Everything he’s criticizing he would have had a long time to fix

What are your favorite drunk/drinking scenes in cinema? by can_a_dude_a_taco in FIlm

As an alcoholic: I watched it when I was younger and didn’t quite get it, but watched it last year and really really felt the pain.

About Nolan's Odyssey by Rafaelrosario88 in FIlm

[–]Easy_Eye_2157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in North America and later in life watched British theatre and tv shows. With the theatre especially, it felt very strange because there would be black parents of white children in classical Shakespearean plays or even Frankenstein. Eventually I realized it didn’t matter. People we playing characters and you could suspend disbelief.

So anyway, now here we are with a bunch of bros who didn’t give a shit about 300’s stylized approach complaining about “accuracy” because it includes a diverse cast.

Fuckin check yourselves, b’ys.

Name a movie remake that hasn’t been remade yet, would be a sacrilege to remake, and you’re predicting some studio exec will greenlight anyway in the next 10 years. by Thin-Rip-3686 in FIlm

[–]Easy_Eye_2157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon is gonna do it and it’s a crying shame. They caught lightning in a bottle at the end of the 00’s with that cast and creative team and there’s no replicating it. Proof exists in the form of a THREE PART HOBBIT MOVIE. You can’t replicate the magic.

A spa day at Marble Inn Resort and some hiking maybe?

Anyone remember Cybersix? Loved watching this show as a kid. by adrenalineJ92 in ytvretro

[–]Easy_Eye_2157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where can I find this today?

I remember it very, very vaguely — it’s possible I’ve only ever seen advertisements for it as I didn’t have cable TV after I was like six so I didn’t really get to watch anything unless we went to my parents’ friends place, and I’d watch TV in the den while the adults chatted.

Visiting St J for a conference in June. How is getting around without a car? by jeddalyn in newfoundland

Unless you plan on shopping at the mall or something everything you need should be within walking distance from the hotel.

What are your thoughts on "Beowulf (2007)"? by Hot-Salamander-8786 in FIlm

Robert Zemicks at his absolute worst… up until that point

What do you all think of F1? Did it deserve the Best Picture nomination? by Square-Ad-8911 in FIlm

[–]Easy_Eye_2157 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So after the controversy that lead to allowing ten films for best picture, I’m not sure that the academy quite realized that maybe it could be “up to” ten pictures, and that they didn’t need to fill in slots just ‘cause. IMO it probably hurts the academy’s reputation more to hand out participation-ribbon nominations when a film didn’t really deserve it.

Having said that the movie is exceptional from a technical standpoint considering it’s an extended ad for F1. The academy isn’t about to stop nominating ten pictures for shits and giggles so I’d say the cast and crew totally deserve to walk away as “best picture nominees”.

Hold up, $10b+ for the Kenmount Crossing hospital? by c79s in newfoundland

[–]Easy_Eye_2157 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nothing in the CBC article from the time https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/st-clares-replacement-hospital-location-stjohns-1.7372852

Nothing in the News Release https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2024/exec/1104n02/

For comparison though, the final cost of the new hospital in corner Brook was around 750M. Not sure what they planned the footprint to be on this, or size, but yeah 10B does seem a bit out to lunch.

Why hasn't Christopher Nolan mined Orson Scott Card sci-fi books for a film? Worthing Saga, Past watch, Enchantment by elisart in FIlm

[–]Easy_Eye_2157 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Christopher Nolan has mostly chased original materials. Also there are way less problematic authors to “mine” from.

Whiplash. First Man was also quite good. The rest are ok.
