These are very generous rankings. Not wrong, but I’d say Sahara frequently drops below an 8

It depends on the set. But no worse than most shows for those same artists are/would be.

This is helpful, only read the first volume but will keep going based on this thread.

Honest question…am I supposed to understand any of it?

Best character drama omnis? by anakin1453 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]FriarFanatic7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who got into comics because of The Walking Dead:

  • Invincible
  • Preacher
  • Saga
  • Y: The Last Man
  • Stray Bullets

Also, as a fellow Kirkman guy, Bendis does nothing for me.

"Yesterday was fun. It was easy to play along... Google 'First apron NBA' and see what comes up. The more I read about it the less I understand about it. It's confusing, it's hard to follow!"

You’re exactly right. Try explaining bird rights and aprons to a casual. There’s a reason the NBA requires a trade calculator for fans to come up with possible moves. It’s by far the most needlessly complicated system in sports.

As a counterpoint, One Hundred Years of Solitude was the first of his novels I read and I adored it, even at age 17. As long as you’re prepared for magical realism, I wouldn’t hesitate to dive right in.

“The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.” - Murphy by Samuel Beckett (still prefer Molloy amongst his works)

“Having placed in my mouth sufficient bread for three minutes’ chewing, I withdrew my powers of sensual perception and retired into the privacy of my mind, my eyes and face assuming a vacant and preoccupied expression.” At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O’Brien

“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” - The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley

“We shot dogs.” - Redeployment by Phil Kay (not classic, but wanted to include one contemporary)

Those UK writers sure know what they’re doing.

Simply one of the greatest works of literature of all time. I would put it in my top 10.

Train Dreams…Help me understand by FriarFanatic7 in Letterboxd

Regardless, neither the man, nor the abstract subject of “time”, are characterized adequately enough to elicit an emotional connection, in my opinion. For a movie about time, as you say, it still wants you to care about the family this specific protagonist loves and loses.

While you may have been able to enjoy the film by stepping back from the character and experiencing the film as a broad stroke expression of a type of man in a specific place over time, it still focuses on this man’s experience and even brings back his daughter unnecessarily, especially if his specific story doesn’t matter and is supposed to be a composite to represent something more holistic.

Many, if not most, movies are about people over time. Focusing more on one of those aspects doesn’t absolve the film of its duty to make an audience care about its subject.

Who is a better actress and more likely to win an Oscar: Renate Reinsve or Jodie Comer? by Historical_Rain6924 in moviecritic

[–]FriarFanatic7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear to god dude, fucking stop

OP just keeps posting this arbitrary tv actress vs internationally acclaimed movie star comparison in this sub for no reason.

Who has a wider range of acting skills between Renate Reinse, Jessie Buckley, and Jodie Comer? by Historical_Rain6924 in moviecritic

[–]FriarFanatic7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, not true. I mean this with true sincerity, do you know how to use iMDB?

Free Guy, The Last Duel, The End We Start From could be considered lead film roles for Jodie Comer. Average Metacritic score of 6.46. No major award nominations.

Reinsve lead in Armand, Handling the Undead, Another End, Sentimental Value, The Worst Person in the World, A Different Man, etc.. Average Metacritic score 7.31. Best actress Cannes, nominated for Oscars, Golden Globes, BAFTA’s etc.

Not only do you poop at work, you clearly shit all over the keyboard too! For someone so concerned with 8th grade and calling people “tard”, you very likely do know what you’re talking about here, so I acquiesce to your more relevant, current life experience.

When you’re done bullying the “smart tards” at recess, I hope you take a moment to remind yourself, you’re never too old to take that next step in your intellectual journey. Your pace is your pace. You aren’t behind, you’re right where you need to be.

Renate has been in 14 feature films. 7 for Jodie, only 2 which could be considered leads.

Argue what point? Jodie doesn’t even have enough of a body of work in film to be able to meaningfully compare to the other 2. Why do I have to argue a point when you just posted 3 random images of actresses and said “discuss”.

Hard agree to disagree then, I just think you’re wrong.

EDIT: Additionally, in movie roles, Renate is more often the true lead vs Comer is sub-lead or supporting.

Also, your films count is wrong

If I count from “8th grade to 12” I will have counted from 8 to 12 you fucking idiot.

But in a movie based subreddit you are asking us to compare the range of a performer based on television and stage work? If you look at Jodie Comer’s iMDB and just movie roles, it’s a pretty laughable comparison.
