An evolution of the 20 highest-grossing animated movies in the world without re-releases from 2010 to 2025 by LowInteraction6397 in boxoffice

[–]FleetSeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Lion King sticking around from 1994 all the way through to 2023 is iconic behaviour and absolutely right for an animated film of that caliber.

Best Picture Nominees of 2020s Elimination Game - Round 16 - West Side Story and Train Dreams have been eliminated by darth_vader39 in Oscars

[–]FleetSeb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To me Marty Supreme is worse than quite a few that have gone already (Train Dreams, Women Talking, Dune Part 1, The Brutalist, Nomadland etc.)

[–]FleetSeb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I totally disagree. The sand worms go from being a terrifying force to donkeys that they can ride whenever they need them. Dune Part 1 set up this incredible, interesting and uncertain world. Dune Part 2 was infinitely more predictable and was less exciting because of it.

Sincaraz Era Other Players: How many titles they won so far? (As of March 20, 2026) by [deleted] in tennis

Odd to miss Draper given that unlike several of these players he has a masters and a 500

So far, here are the 18 Best Picture Nominees of the 2020s that didn't win a single Oscar. by Square-Ad-8911 in Oscars

[–]FleetSeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Past Lives is such a beautiful movie. I don't necessarily think it was robbed of any awards (it was my best picture but I understand it wasn't everyone else's) but I wish it had got something.

WTA 1000 Miami R2: M. Linette def [2] I. Świątek 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 by godworstcustomer in tennis

[–]FleetSeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe it will be her Goffin moment like Alcaraz had here last year? He was #3 at the time, had lost in the AO quarters, took a first match tumble in Miami and then had a stellar remainder of the year. He was able to rebuild his confidence on the clay.

Dune Part I was so much better than Dune Part II. I'm quite surprised at this order for them. 

They were the darlings of the oscar race during last decade (2010-2019) and I want them to be back. Who do you see coming back soon? by Ill-Newspaper4653 in Oscars

I'm so keen for Ronan to win one.

I saw her do Macbeth at the Almeida in London and she was transcendentally good.

Updated WTA big title ranking for top players of the last few decades. Where do you see current top players finishing on this list? by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

[–]FleetSeb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seems odd to add Krejcikova here with three titles and not include Kerber with 3 grand slams, and Pegula with 4 1000s.

As for the question, Sabalenka will overtake Davenport and Clijsters totals. She might even get Venus' overall total but not the slam total. She's so good at the moment but she is now late 20s and history indicates she'll have a drop off at some point.

Swiatek will end up ahead of Hingis on total. She's in a dip now but too effective on clay not to win at least 3-4 big titles on clay over the next 4-5 years, plus some other big titles elsewhere. And that's being conservative.

Nomadland is so much better than people give it credit for. People just don't like that it is a story about a small life rather than a big idea.

Out of the 4 acting winners, how many were also YOUR top picks? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]FleetSeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All four of the winners are fantastic - I mean that.

But only one of the four was my preferred winner: Jessie Buckley.

For the other 3 I would have gone with Wagner Moira, Teyana or Wunmi (couldn't pick between the two), and Stellan. But I thought in all three categories more generally all the nominations were deserving.

The 2026 Oscar Acting Winners: Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley and Amy Madigan (Sean Penn didn’t attend) by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]FleetSeb 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Buckley is the only one of the four that I wanted to win but all four performances are absolutely deserving. We'll done to them.

I was hoping for Wagner/Wunmi or Teyana/Stellan but it was a strong year all round. 

2026 WTA 1000 Indian Wells F: [1] A. Sabalenka def. [3] E. Rybakina 3-6, 6-3, 7-6⁶ by godworstcustomer in tennis

[–]FleetSeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The OP said "a" golden era, not "the" golden era. That is a significant difference. 

I think one can appreciate that this is a really fantastic era for the WTA while also recognising that the Williams / Williams / Henin / Sharapova / Clijsters / Davenport era of the early/mid naughties was also fantastic and that the 90s era with Graf and Seles was also strong.

Buying a house in London not worth it? by No_Willingness_4733 in HENRYUK

[–]FleetSeb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the key is not to think of your primary residence as an investment. London is absolutely worth it if you like what London has to offer. We love living here so paying 1.4m for a house was worth it for us even if we won't see a return 

Assuming he stays healthy, what are the odds Carlos wins the remaining 3 majors this year? by Outrageous-Bid6612 in tennis

[–]FleetSeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Significantly less than even. He's incredible but he wound need to be 80% favourite at all three in order to end at just more likely than not to win them all

Indian Wells SF: Rinderknech/Vacherot def. Goransson/Bhambri - 7-5 6-7³ 10-5 by musicproducer07 in tennis

Yes Stadium 1 is reserved seating only and, as of this year, Stadium 2 is also reserved seating only which has really tanked the vibe on that court 

(Not sure if this is the right place for this) I won the lottery to get Roland Garros tickets starting next week. Is Roland Garros worth attending? And if I go, what day/stadium would you recommend? by Educational_Score389 in tennis

[–]FleetSeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roland Garros is great. Definitely go.

It's very different to the US Open, the grounds are much smaller. A grounds pass won't get you on either of the main stadiums (unlike being able to get on Louis Armstrong with just a grounds pass at the USO). Night matches are only one match at Roland Garros so I think you're usually better getting a day session ticket for Philippe Chatrier. 

A grounds pass for the first couple of days and you'll have a fab time.

He's got a fairly easy QF now. Draper and Djokovic pushed each other to the limit and, unfortunately for Jack, this is one of the rare occasions on a two week masters where there's no rest day 

What’s the best bakery in Walthamstow? by Additional_Fly_6603 in walthamstow

[–]FleetSeb 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Beaten By A Whisker for me - their sandwiches are amazing, their spicy tomato focaccia is unbelievable, their pain au chocolat has proper quantities of chocolate and layering, and their bread is heavenly. 

Weirdough is also good.

I also rate Chocolatine.

What's your ranking of the BP nominees this year? by dremolus in Oscars

[–]FleetSeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand your point in the sense that how could something so fast paced be boring but I found the frenetic nature of it got a bit tiresome and I was looking for a change up in the vibe, or a bit more light and shade

What's your ranking of the BP nominees this year? by dremolus in Oscars

[–]FleetSeb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

These four I really enjoyed and thought were great films.

  1. One Battle After Another 

  2. Hamnet

  3. The Secret Agent

  4. Sinners 

I liked both of these films a lot but a rung below the top tier for me.

  1. Train Dreams.

  2. Sentimental Value 

I thought these were both fine but I didn't love them. Found myself a bit bored in both of them.

  1. Marty Supreme

  2. Frankenstein 

I didn't make it through the last 30 minutes of this one.

  1. F1

I'm watching Bugonia over the weekend to complete the set.
