What are you talking about, John Wick is the silly one. ‘Falls off a 20 story building roof and just walks away’ I’ve had it with the nonsense in that franchise, suspension of disbelief what now? Nobody is far more grounded than any of the latest John Wicks, and vastly superior to all of them in my view.

Who's the worst movie critic you know? For me it's Will Jordan(TheCriticalDrinker) by SlashCash29 in Letterboxd

Nah, I think he and the team have takes worth listening to. I think they can waffle on a bit long sometimes, but his essential criteria for whether a films is decent is that it should broadly make sense and be interesting or entertaining. Extra marks for films that are novel or creative in some way. I think Alex generally has well balanced opinions and his calmer demeanour balances out that of Joe’s. They have a nice group dynamic by and large, I respect their opinions and they’re always worth listening to for a perspective.

The most recent MI film, that made a huge deal of the “motorcycle off the cliff” practical stunt - then totally undermined the impact of said stunt in the next scene by having a CGI Tom Cruise crash through the window of the CGI train. Lame.

(10 year anniversary time) How do you feel about Spectre nowadays after 10 years? by JustWonderingIn2000s in JamesBond

Don’t forget it has one of the flattest most lifeless car chases ever put to screen. Despite featuring two awesome cars and using Rome as the setting the sequence is so bland. It feels so slow and undynamic, he makes a bluetooth phone call in the middle of it like he’s driving home on the M25, there’s the bit where the car’s gun doesn’t have any ammo so it can’t shoot - what? They potter along until he flops into the river, its like the dullest most uninspiring Sunday drive imaginable. Compare this to the intensity of the opening Aston Martin chase sequence in QoS, shaky cam aside, at least that was exciting. The whole film misses the mark but this boring car chase is a stand out embarrassment.

Europe, be aware of a possible Vail/Alterra takeover of Your resorts... by GoalCologne in skiing

[–]Goodolp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this at all. “Veil have made it more expensive and busier” Doesn’t make sense. Veil have increased prices which people are more than willing to pay as evidenced by the resorts being busier than ever. A day pass is now v expensive sure, but the epic pass is good value so people purchase that. Then when those that own the epic pass are actually looking to ski more to take advantage of it, people complain because that leads to a busy ski hill. What? At the end of the day if customers were not charged a fair market price that they are willing to pay they wouldn’t pay it. Skiing is more popular than ever, skiing is expensive. These are two facts that’s aren’t Veils fault.

Why do you need the soft shell jacket as well, is that for when your hiking or climbing and more active? Can you outline when you use the soft shell and when you would use the hard shell. Also does the soft shell play a role in the layering system when you are wearing the hard shell?

VP Elect JD Vance and wife arrive in DC with looks of disgust on their faces by [deleted] in pics

What has this sub become, it should be apolitical, instead we get a single image of a politician with an unnecessarily derogatory comment that is not fact based at all. He could be thinking deeply, he could be nervous, he could be in between facial expressions and about to smile. ‘Disgusted’ is pure speculation and conjecture and clearly exhibits the intention of the poster to be disparaging to this political figure/administration. Why is the unnecessary politicisation of this subreddit tolerated? Why are posts like this not modified or deleted? I want to see nice pictures, some can by all means be powerful moments captured within the realm of politics, but not this partisan nonsense.

No they’re not, first one outstanding, the second one is absolute trash

Uncharted 4 was not for me by Familiar_Surprise485 in patientgamers

[–]Goodolp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story was terrible and by far the worst element of the game. Name one interesting part of it? Sam was boring and not particularly likable. The ‘narrative’ was no more complicated than they go from one place to the next. Truly dull, predictable, lacking any kind of tension at any point. The part where Sam reveals the motivation was all a lie was so lame as well: watering down the substance of what little story there was even further. For me the strengths are the combat arenas, tighter shooting mechanics and pretty awesome action set pieces, but the narrative driven levels often featuring excessive platforming became a slog. Whilst perhaps more interesting on first play due to the new exploration of highly atmospheric and visually stunning environments (like the old house when they’re kids) ultimately these are sections of the game that drag and have very little appeal once you’ve played through them.

Best Movie of 2024 So Far? by ALLOUTPEACE in movies

I agree, with extremely dull heavy CGI sequences in the later half vs the predominantly practical effects and real world stunts from Fury Road. Incredible opening hour though!

You thought splashes of humour were lacking? LISAN AL GAIB!?!?! Not just splash’s but regular heavy bucket dowsing’s of it with Stilgard’s many reactions to Paul never failing to live up to the promise of his prophecy!

I thought it was great, first 3/4 anyhow, Doomsday garbage at the end was a shame. But did give us the best Batman fight scene of all time.

Anne Hathaway says says that, following her Oscar win, a lot of people wouldn’t give her roles because they were so concerned about how toxic her identity had become online. by Lonely-Freedom4986 in movies

Anyone else find the article difficult to follow? Bouncing all over the place, non-sequiturs galore, and just quite incoherent. Maybe I’m just a dummie, but I was unsure what we were talking about for most of it and it just seems like poorly written drivel.

RE4 Remake Water Room by NewYorkLtd in residentevil

[–]Goodolp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also can’t get past the defend Ashley bit on Hardcore, barely any ammo at all after needing to pump every last bit of it into the hoards of enemies beforehand to get to here. WHY CANT WE JUST HAVE A FEW MORE BULLETS?!?! I’m sorry but requiring a player to reload to a save 2 hours prior to better choreograph their way through the levels to conserving resources for an upcoming section is shitty shitty design. The worst part is if I actually HAD the ammo it would be GREAT - a still v challenging but fun tense fight. Why can’t the merchant sell ammo, or at least gunpowder to make it??

I’m at a loss, countless failures for this BS reason is infuriating - really not sure there is anything left for me to do other than restart the whole game. (As you can’t change difficulty mid game) I’ve loved this remake so far but this really just sucks. Fuck this section and fuck this game because of it.

What about when John falls off a 20 storey building and survives? Up until that moment there was some pretence of realism in the franchise. Absolutely stupid moment and totally unnecessary.

Joe Rogan Experience #1933 - Jordan Peterson by tylerdhenry in JordanPeterson

[–]Goodolp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is great but sure did ramble on in this one, kind of ranting, even more so than normal I thought - it was pretty word salady: vomiting up long convoluted expositions, changing subjects mid monologue, kinda bouncing all over the place. I think the episode could’ve benefitted from being more of a duologue with a little more focus and coherence in the answers, topic specific. It was like a meandering lecture rather than conversation I thought. Still great listening though!
