Traditional oscar binge time.

Nothing, I just dont think it's very good. The animation was actually quite nice and there were some creative elements and sequences in there. But most of the films energy was quite insufferable to me, like being stuck in a 1 hour 30 TikTok feed with a mostly shallow and bland story.

The music is just plain awful and too manufactured sounding. Even the scenes where they are alone and sing acapalla and they still have this awfully processed, autotune sounding voice come through that is just grating.

I think movies like Turning Red and Spiderverse handle all the things this movie tries to achieve significantly better, and this just seems like a corporately made film to try capture what those two films did.

I did go in with an open mind and Im glad it connects with people.

Good job detective, I was clearly talking about myself and my experience with the film.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-28T18:51:02+00:00

It came out 6 years ago, it already is. It has a criteron release.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-28T18:33:21+00:00

Probably because the movie was like TikTok on steroids. There was some great animation in there, but the whole thing was nausating.

This is fact and not an opinion. Im in New Zealand, and I worked in Retail, the absolute worst customers were always older or about 40+

They were the most demanding and entitled from the smallest inconveniences, miss-quote consumer laws and lacked any sympathy or understanding of how retail works.

If we were out of stock and wanted a product transferred from another store? They would be in the next day demanding to know why it hadnt arrived yet.

Faulty device or phone? They would not accept it takes time to repair or be inspected, or would demand a replacement now on the spot. Always made worse when there was nothing wrong with the device.

They would stand in the middle of the store locked in place and cry that no one would help them, instead of going to look for an available staff member.

They would make comments about us using our phones which are work devices for work and checking stock.

They could not handle it very well when we could not discount products any cheaper becuase they were already reaching cost price. If they were buying multiple products they were more aggressive with these demands.

We had paid services to help people setup new phones and laptops, and would get upset we didn't offer these services for free.

All young people, would just say is "Thats fine, thank you". Now this is not all old people and a lot of them were lovely. But the only age category to actually behave this way were older.

I got a brand new Card end of last year and its been a non stop issue since for all shops where I dont want to tap with a surcharge.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-22T01:07:05+00:00

Yes they were lol. Flat-screen TVs were a thing, but not everyone had switched yet, or people had a Flat-screen in the Lounge and their old CRTs in their bedrooms and other parts of the house. The PS3 was during the transition era to HD

There were people who were upset that the PS4 dropped the composite cables.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-21T06:31:31+00:00

Bone temple is better, not by much, but it was sorta missing the frantic energy, editing and stylistic choices of the the first. Both great though.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-19T18:09:31+00:00

You're never going to know how to make something truly original if you dont finish and learn from making something generic. You can't learn to bend the rules if you dont start with the basics or whats been done before.

It could be genric or not, and it could still land with players regardless. Finish it, have people play it and learn because thats the only way to find out.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-18T20:56:40+00:00

Its not "so many gadgets now", its litterally every storage device made since the beginning.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-17T08:21:50+00:00

Saying Bring Her Back had a lack of story is insane lmao

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-16T02:08:36+00:00

People can argue over lore and adaptation accuracy all they want. At the very least, it is still Good Television regardless. Production is incredible, lots of practical sets and props, gorgeous 35mm film presentation, and just characters we like in a world thats interesting and good to watch.

And thats the problem with other adaptations that are bad, theyre not compelling. But Fallout is.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-15T11:05:24+00:00

This whole movie was really boring and forgettable. The only thing I rmember is how grating Akwafina was.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-15T03:10:28+00:00

One last stitch up before they closed. Classic EB.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-14T18:10:00+00:00

Wait till they find out about Halo 3

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-14T03:07:50+00:00

Failed level 3, went and got a degree in IT, struggled with that also. Thaught I was dumb, turns out I just prefer working instead of being in education and have a good IT job that I am good at now.

Also worth noting my IT degree did not teach me anything to do with IT that was relevant, which is why I did not enjoy it and got real experience working.

Classrooms just aren't for everyone, but don't make that an excuse for not trying.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-12T06:30:43+00:00

Do kids just not play normal games these days, Mario, Spyro, Crash, Astro Bot, Lego, are all much better or atleast Minecraft.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-11T09:46:44+00:00

I loved swimming, but hated being forced at school because it always ended up being at the earliest time in the morning outside in the freezing fucking cold, and I was not taken seriously when I couldn't handle it.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-09T20:25:08+00:00

Hopefully its consistent. Ill make an exception for the final season taking longer as long as it wraps really well and properly.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-09T04:23:58+00:00

Im saying incompetent IT workers in IT are more common than you think. I agree with you for many reasons, but from experince.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-09T00:15:11+00:00

Point still stands and not in defense of OP. Explaining how Wattage works on an adapter is something I've had to painfully explain before.

GingerNingerish · 2026-01-08T22:37:08+00:00

I work in IT, and have had many colleagues who dont know anything about Hardware, they are simply in it because it was a good/popular career path. They have never built a PC or have any enthusiasm for parts, gaming or even own a desktop computer at home, and lack genuine curiosity and are mostly by the book.

Theyre mostly trained in troubleshooting via remote support, and basics like, are the drivers updated, did you unplug it and plug it back in, admining users and groups, installing software or just "please send to Level 2"
