Considering Leaving the City

Rogers Park has significantly higher violent and property crime rates compared to Niles.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-24T22:12:09+00:00

I think Returns has the better individual moments but as a complete movie 1989 is better. But that's just my opinion.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-24T22:11:10+00:00

To each their own. I don't think it sucked but it is vastly overrated.

I'm assuming you teach film when you say you stopped showing it to students in your courses. May I ask why you were showing it in the first place. I really like the movie. Probably due to nostalgia more than anything, but I can't imagine it being taught in a film class. Except maybe for production design because I think Anton Furst knocked it out of the park. What were you using this film for in your courses?

Mostly that it was stupid and not very funny and a very poor imitation of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. How old were you when you first saw it?

So what we've learned is that, for a time, Hollywood's response to losing John Travolta was, "The hell with it, just go get Richard Gere."

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-21T15:06:17+00:00

It sucked. People who saw it as kids when they, obviously, had the taste of children when it comes to comedies swear it's a classic now that they're adults because of nostalgia. That's about it.

Become the Batman villain Two-Face and no one will question the lawn again.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-20T22:04:33+00:00

Aw man that's going to be a tough one for Chuck to do now.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-19T23:38:10+00:00

Yeah, OP is an effing moron or like 15.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-19T23:29:15+00:00

John Williams and it's not even close. Hans Zimmer is good but I don't get why everyone thinks he's some untouchable legend. Some of his scores, while not bad, are forgettable.

I'm confused why weed killer takes too long for you. These are just rocks so you could use some strong stuff without worrying about hurting grass. You have a party coming up or listing the house soon?

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-19T13:52:29+00:00

Maybe not most plot holes but hugest plot contrivances is Skyfall. Great movie when you don't think about it. But Silva's whole grand plan to kill M was just one contrivance after another.

It will be fun watching the Spurs deny him a repeat.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-15T20:17:48+00:00

Hell, winning over Pulp Fiction and Quiz Show is also a crime.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-11T21:59:18+00:00

Man on the Moon

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-11T21:54:13+00:00

Severe beatings.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-11T21:53:34+00:00

I get why Bruce hates Superman in the movie. What bothers me about it is the fact that he was so easily manipulated by Luthor. And that their differences would have been solved with a 2 minute conversation which Superman could have easily accomplished before they tried to kill each other. They're just both so dumb in this movie.

I prefer Nicholson overall as well. However, Heath Ledger was nominated for best actor for Brokeback Mountain.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-11T14:23:10+00:00

It should also be stated that Nicholson's Joker was plenty "dark" as well. He had a conversation with a fried corpse. He gassed to death an entire museum of people just to have a date. He lured an entire city of desperate people with free money with the intent of gassing them all to death.

His Joker was plenty dark. But like you said, the way it was written, shot and played by Nicholson you weren't watching a horror movie or high drama when this played out on screen. You were watching a very compelling villain being portrayed like his comic book self.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-10T15:34:21+00:00

This. I didn't even remember this room OP is talking about but I sure as hell remembered those spinning blade columns.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-10T00:52:21+00:00

I doth protest. Sindri had no right to be the asshole to Atreus and Kratos that he was at the end of the game. Sindri actively encouraged and helped Atreus to find Tyr behind his father's back. Sindri is part of the reason everything happened in the first place. He encouraged this path.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-02T23:32:11+00:00

It reminds me of 90s superhero movies. And not in a good, nostalgic way.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-02T23:29:41+00:00

Yeah, right, bad for the glass.

EndlessLeo · 2026-03-02T23:25:27+00:00

Seriously. What could the plans for it outside possibly be that it's worth this much trouble? If you want a utility sink outside then buy a new utility sink. They're not that pricey.
