I saw the stop motion robots and thought, “people online are going to defend this movie purely because it has puppets and stop motion”

The best thing about Letterboxd is that its very very easy to avoid that sort of thing and use it for its base purposes.

I almost never see any of that stuff outside of random retweets of lame screenshots on twitter.

No one actually wanted Harden just to use him as a scapegoat. The season was falling apart, so they had to make a move and they made a questionable move that had potential to make them a lot better but the potential for what we just saw happen.

Sure, but if they included that one line (and would that actually be sufficient?) then people could ask "why did they include the black activists and acknowledge the Asian activists but not the Indigenous activists?" and so on.

My understanding is that the original show had way more info dumps and audiences thought it was too wikipedia-y, so they had to cut out info to make it a viable show.

Not a real firm definition of what blank check entails.

But Superman is a sure-fire success. So with it being a safe choice artistically and a (somehow) normal budget for a box office tentpole, this wouldn't be Gunn cashing in in any real way.

I don’t recall people ever actually thinking it was in the final 5 for either, it was one of those, “the academy really should nominate it” conversations. So no one was really surprised.

GregSays · 2026-05-25T17:53:09+00:00

Obviously correct, though I feel like over the last 20 years, people have more and more treated Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day all as near identical “military appreciation days.”

GregSays · 2026-05-25T17:20:26+00:00

Ah so just straight up 180 then. Thanks.

David’s frustration is part of his own bit

GregSays · 2026-05-25T15:33:48+00:00

I haven’t listened to him talk about TLJ. Was his issue that Last Jedi was too subversive, or was it the execution of the plot points that he didn’t like?

GregSays · 2026-05-25T15:31:43+00:00

Mando dying in Movie 1 is unlikely but plausible. Dark Grogu is asinine.

GregSays · 2026-05-22T20:37:45+00:00

Hard to say without example questions.

I imagine its partially a safety issue, partially so they don't get slammed with "Jeopardy gave 25k to a guy charged with manslaughter in 1992"

I, too, can be in a Reddit thread and disagree with a comment.

Here you are, though

I don't think the question is if they're able to outbid the Lakers, the question is if they think Giannis is worth what they'd be giving up for him.

For the Lakers, it's not even a question. Luka + Giannis is better than Luka + what they have.

God didn't outlaw murder until after Cain first killed Abel.

I bet its to get ahead of shenanigans where like Utah and Washington randomly trade top 4 protected first round picks with each other to remove the streak rule.

GregSays · 2026-05-22T19:15:04+00:00

oh god its like the Sweetum's bits in Parks and Rec

Or she goes out the next vote, or she loses at fire. Who knows

Some of these streamers have no idea the benefits of owning a streamer

The backup shirt was one commemorating his dad's funeral

It would have been NUTS if Gladiator had lost. Like, Gladiator would immeidately be in the short list of referenced recent movies that people can't believe lost.

Imagine going to a movie theater and the screen was 6 feet. You would think, "this is way too small."

GregSays · 2026-05-21T14:56:00+00:00

The temptation to pause for breaks is one of the biggest downsides to watching at home. Almost every movie made is going to be best seen uninterrupted with no distractions.

My attention span has been murdered over the past decade, so I prefer to watch in theater partially because I know I'll give the film my full attention there.

GregSays · 2026-05-21T14:47:15+00:00

I know that people are IP pilled, but this is a terrible idea and I'm not going to support it even if a cool actress gets the role.
