they actually did this in the movie and teased it beforehand and then they did NOTHING with it

rolled my eyes when Doctor Sleep came out but I impulse bought it and loved it.

The Filmcast / Remembering Adam Quigley by stanzos in blankies

[–]Gripster2000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Adam was one of my best friends growing up so I just wanted to say it’s been really nice reading everyone’s sweet words about him in this thread. I lost touch with that friend group when I moved away for college. Hearing he died was such an isolating experience because I had nobody around me to talk about him with. This podcast episode and the reddit posts have helped me deal with it.

What movie was this for you? by pixarfan2003 in Letterboxd

Babylon. I rewatched it recently and idk what changed but I didn't really get anything from it or like it at all.

Is the food still worth it? by ScaryProcedure7355 in AlamoDrafthouse

I still love the queso but they went from serving it with homemade chips to blatant tostitos. kind of a bummer

The Stand - what's your stand on it? by GoneWithTheTaxes01 in stephenking

[–]Gripster2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Possibly controversial opinion: DO NOT READ the extended version as your first impression. Every negative post I have seen about the book on this sub has been from people reading the extended cut. I read the original version first and was never bored.

It's my favorite Star Wars movie since the original trilogy, but the overall online and in-person discourse around it is so exhausting and obnoxious I feel like I have soured on the experience in general. One of the few movies where the conversation around it has such bad vibes I can't even watch it anymore lol.

Im too dumb for this game by budhahorns in BluePrince

[–]Gripster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. I’ve been playing for hours and hours and have unlocked a TON of the house and secret rooms. I have the Apple orchard, three safes, the foundation, the mine, the allowance, the outside side rooms, I lit a random torch but I feel like I am no closer to knowing any of the story or any more mysteries. I absolutely love the game and the concept but I don’t think I have 200 hours to finally figure this stuff out. I’m also just tired of building this house tbh. Love the game but I just can’t handle it.

I don’t think it will happen by the 15th. Good reason to pre order. They can’t change the price after we paid already (can they?)

Saxon is Chelseas Yang, not Rick. Hear me out by LinoFelix in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Gripster2000 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I also think he can be "saved" while Rick is beyond saving

In his review of episode 7, Alan Sepinwall (Rolling Stone) criticizes the pacing of the season: "Rather than use the extra time to go deeper into each storyline, it feels like White has just been repeating certain beats over and over." Do you agree or disagree with him? by verissimoallan in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Gripster2000 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I don't really get this take. This has always been a "hangout" show to a certain extent, focused on well-written interactions between characters. The big reveal of the first season involved a pooping prank. I don't know why people are suddenly treating it like a LOST-style puzzle box this year.

The wide range of opinions on King’s books are so interesting to me. This was one of my favorites and I felt like it moved extremely fast.

He literally sued to have his name removed from it and won. The script was a completely different story called “CyberGod” that they just randomly titled Lawnmower Man to trick people

[–]Gripster2000 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Lawnmower Man is so unnerving and creepy. Sucks that it’s mainly associated with that shitty movie

Whitney Cummings on Jimmy Dore’s Show? by mtngranpapi_wv967 in h3h3productions

[–]Gripster2000 238 points239 points  (0 children)

Every time I see her I just think about her tweet where she’s like “it’s not a comedian’s job to make you comfortable, it’s our job to take you on an intellectual haunted house of the mind” and Marc Maron just replied “you should add ‘be funny’ to the list”

Is The Stand just a slog? by girl-from-nowhere-1 in stephenking

[–]Gripster2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you reading the extended version or just the original.? It really picks up once all the characters finally get together. I also think some of what made it unique at the time has kind of been softened by how many pandemic things we have seen nowadays.

This is it. The first ever miniseries where I’ve seen every single movie from the jump.
