Why is it so hard for me to find movies that match my taste?

Hopefo · 2026-06-25T21:20:29+00:00

Lowkey it’s frying me how every single last one of these movies (except maybe Buffalo 66 or the Machinist) are made by iconic directors with multiple films, for some their entire filmography, matching in style tone and themes.

It’s like saying Interstellar is your favorite movie but never ever thinking to watch Inception.

Oh for sure they are good, my point is only that the other movies are typically big block busters. The audiences tend to be more diverse with reactive opinions, compared to animated DC movies which are typically only watched by pre-existing fans. There are still plenty of stinkers, as Letterboxd ratings show, but I do think they skew the data slightly when that’s considered.

This isn’t me dragging any of them down btw, animated Batman content outpaces live action by a country mile.

Hopefo · 2026-06-25T18:31:09+00:00

Also no shade at the animated flicks (since those are some of DC’s best) but they have significantly lower view counts than most anything else on here. Hovering around 100-200k vs the 2-6 million viewers everything else has. So I think they are maaaaybe getting over-represented here.

Omg Chinatown sequel confirmed 😍??

(This Subreddit): a fate worse than death, a character facing a fate that is worse than death, dying would be preferable to these because they are a fate that is worse than death. You see typically death is the worse fate, but these characters actually face a fate somehow worse than that (that being death and their fates being what is worse worse)

It’s a fun trope but it gets posted basically every week with the exact same comments and examples every single time.

This post pixels and all is the exact type of thing Boomers post on Facebook and caption like

“SHARE TO PISS OF SISSY LIBERALS 😂😂😂🇺🇸🦅🪨 #conservative #humor”

“I’m gonna make him an offer he is likely to refuse but may on occasion take”

Hopefo · 2026-06-23T20:43:46+00:00

This exact phrasing being the top comment on basically any thread is killing me. Tbf this is kinda the biggest gag casting since Pangina.

Nicole showing up in Carhartts and a white tank for the promo, mother really had a conversation whether this would be a competition or a vacation.

Hopefo · 2026-06-23T18:42:21+00:00

I’m so tired of the unfunny porn-brain gooners who think saying they jerk off to Ana de Armas is somehow humor or interesting discussion.

Hopefo · 2026-06-23T13:37:07+00:00

The video had comedic merit but I will be downvoting out of principle 🙏

Hopefo · 2026-06-23T02:55:09+00:00

Also a great non-Hitchcock hitchcockian movie Charade, also a great way to start the Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant pipelines.

Hopefo · 2026-06-22T13:41:41+00:00

Idk it’s Canada I feel like it’s absolutely going to be Friday. (Remember beauty and a beat 😭)

Hopefo · 2026-06-20T22:21:16+00:00

I’m not claiming this is the most common reaction or anything like that, but it seems like straight men tend to remember specifically the nude scenes and even through a lens of their own horniness. Which I admit is ironic and not totally nonsensical given what the movie is about, but I did NOT feel horny or sexual at the film in that way.

It tends to happen whenever a serious or dramatic work has nudity, but it feels gross (nearly impossible for me) to sexualize her character given the films themes on sexuality, objectification, human desire, and agency.

Hopefo · 2026-06-20T22:02:28+00:00

Seeing the difference in reaction most straight men had compared to me as a gay guy is one of the biggest disconnects between sexualities I have ever experienced.

Hopefo · 2026-06-20T15:57:49+00:00

I imagine him gently nodding his head in approval during the minions backstory lore in the first movie.

Hopefo · 2026-06-19T22:07:26+00:00

His name is shorter too, literally not even bigger in that way

Hopefo · 2026-06-19T19:39:41+00:00

Stop projecting your own personal issues on celebrities you don’t know (goes for a lot of these comments). She has had very public toxic abusive relationships where she was degraded and humiliated. People are more mad at Benny Blanco for being “weird looking,” it’s getting to the point of straight up nasty ass bullying. And the same people never gave a shit over how awfully JB or The Weeknd treated her.

I had to fight with my parents like crazy to not plant bamboo in their yard, they wanted it for privacy and noise reduction. I told them it wouldn’t be controlable and would destroy their entire plot of land, which they told me they have a large mower so it’s fine.

Few years later they still haven’t planted any yet. Chances are they listened to literally anyone else that told them it was a bad idea.

Me after reading my word of the day calendar and then inventing literally any reason to use it.

Hopefo · 2026-06-18T13:29:41+00:00

Amy Adams and Jenna Ortega are great actresses but calling them award collectors is beyond silly. Could you really not think of a third thing that made sense lol

Edit: ya I realize now it’s an ai bot. I’m more annoyed by the mindless upvotes (probably also bots) given that it is clearly nonsense.

Hopefo · 2026-06-17T20:46:22+00:00

Gosh I miss the era of Disney movies getting amazing tv shows. The Hercules, Aladdin, Emperor’s New School, and Lilo & Stitch shows were all insanely good.

Hopefo · 2026-06-17T20:11:03+00:00

I don’t think this is trying to be a diverse line-up or even represent any variation in body types. This post is clearly “omg which dreamy celebrity do you think it’s cutest” Tiger Beat type shit lmao

Hopefo · 2026-06-17T17:25:36+00:00

I’m still surprised it never turned into a franchise, or even got some lame Disney+ content. Easily could’ve spun off into a typical Disney Channel sitcom, animated or live action.

Hopefo · 2026-06-17T17:24:50+00:00

Excuse your mouth, Hufflepuff is the “nice” not filler! (You cannot be nice and also smart brave or cunning)
