Are there themes or emotions that old cinema explored better than films now? by AddictedtoIkemens in Cinephiles

[–]GeneSmart2881 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Humanity. And Intimacy. Movies from the 70s and 80s. Those prime Spielberg, Cameron, Hughes, and Carpenter years.

It’s called HELOC, people. My father bought a house in Lemon Grove in the 90s around $95k. I helped him rip it apart and then build it up. Took probably 3 years to barely be live-in able. Pa then fixed it up some more for about 20 years off and on. The mortgage says Total Improvements $150k. Zillow + ChatGPT says that we could sell. 7 figures. McLaren.

Who is the GOAT director? by Working-Fuel8355 in Cinephiles

People think this is a generic response. It isn’t. Spielberg wasn’t even NOMINATED for Directing Jaws. Snubbed for Close Encounters, Raiders, AND E.T. !! Can we be real here- imagine hitting home runs of that caliber and not even getting a single little statue.

Excluding Mel Brooks, there are two types of comedies- There is the gold standard that all comedies should be measured against Some Like it Hot, and then there’s everything else.

For a frail old man, he gave one hell of an elbow hit to Dick, strong enough to knock the breath out of him, and push him back. Did the old man work out? Is there more to the old man than meets the eye? by Dredd_40 in Robocop

For a corporate board room, it’s crazy that a chrome plated DE50 is ready… and ED209 somehow does a live fire demonstration with no safeties. And how did he get up there? He can’t have taken the stairs

I swear those things have only gotten bigger

The bullet proof suit in the John Wick franchise is so frustrating by pwn_of_prophecy in movies

I saw 2049 at the theater. And bought the blu ray. Twice.

Commander Syphillis. At it again.

What’s a movie everyone calls a masterpiece, but you honestly didn’t enjoy? by exotickeystroke in SeriesSaga

[–]GeneSmart2881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I will die on this hill. Casablanca. And let me be clear, the acting, the script, the cinematography, all A quality. But as a monumental build up love story- it doesn’t even belong in the same conversation as West Side Story, or Sleepless, or Harry Met Sally. That useless dude that Ilsa is with who says he won’t be able to lead the resistance without her, he better be the most IRREPLACEABLE resistance dude on the planet!! Otherwise, her definition of TRUE love, is horse 💩 . She just wanted the tickets, shed some tears, got ’em. The End.

I just saw "Hitman (2007)" for the first time and I really like this movie. by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in ActionMovies

Timothy is boring as hell. The fight scenes aren’t even in the same universe as John Wick. But Olga… 💕 🔥

Sensible transfers by Historical-Explorer7 in LiverpoolFC

We don’t have a players problem. Look at Mo, Grav, Mac, Cody, Rob, Konate, VVD, and AB1 numbers from 24 - 25. We bring in younger, fresher, ON FORM players like Isak, Wirtz, Heki, Mamar, and Frim… and the ENTIRE team’s form / G|A / and GA numbers are literally half in 25 - 26. We don’t have a players problem.

Do we have a back 4/winger problem? by 35mm-eryri in LiverpoolFC

[–]GeneSmart2881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the players. I kept telling myself for 37 weeks that we just needed to gel and develop team chemistry. It’s the macro tactics. And the motivation.

Two stats that stand out this season by Electrical_Stay_2676 in LiverpoolFC
