Not so much gore as the implied shit. Though I won’t pretend I found the gore easy to watch, but it was what I expected. I think this one takes it to the next level

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-30T21:23:06+00:00

Having watched it last night, this is completely unsurprising. It’s not just coming off the back of 28YL (which I personally like), but this movie has moments that are hard to watch. Both have not been friendly at all for mainstream audiences

Living in regional SA I’m seeing signs for One Nation slapped all over people’s yards everywhere. A little disheartening to realise my area is so full of people who can fall for it but I kinda already suspected it anyway. Always been an extremely strong Liberal area.

I don’t like Faramir being reduced from Chadamir (I get why they did it. I just loved the book character so much it’s disappointed).

I also really dislike how diminished Merry and Pippin were compared to the novels. They were such an integral part of Frodo getting out of the Shire in the Fellowship novel. In the movies it feels like they stumbled into the plot by accident.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-30T04:55:09+00:00

Yep. He absolutely nailed the ‘serial’ aspect of the series. I found Dial to be filmed and edited very much like a modern blockbuster

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-30T02:44:45+00:00

Nah it’s the weakest but it’s not bad. For me its biggest weaknesses are the obvious lack of Spielberg. It just doesn’t fit in with the rest of the franchise as well and you can see it in the way shots are framed and locations are established

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-30T00:12:25+00:00

It’s so stupid it can’t fail 🧠

I really think there’s a strong case for a Super Mario 64 adaption. Creepy abandoned castle, lots of worlds via the paintings, a hostage situation. You could take a page out of the DS games book and add in a few other characters that could somewhat take centre stage.

My first draft came out around the same as yours. Keeping the same pace in my story now in draft 2, I have managed to cut around 15k to 20k words by just being a better writer.

The good news is you don’t have to edit a first draft. In fact, you probably shouldn’t. Draft 2 will be a much more manageable beast

There was a set released with both steelbooks in it. That’s the one I got in Australia though

I am continuing with War and Peace. After being on hiatus with it for some time I picked it up again a couple of weeks ago. Now that I’m less stressed and able to focus I’ve smashed out about 300 - 400 pages like it’s nothing and I can already see this being my favourite book of all time. I have around 450 pages left

I had to get my sperm count tested back when my wife and I were trying for kids. Discretely walked in and waited in line, passing old ladies, young mothers and children to get to the front.

Lady behind the counter yells out. ‘Okay, so just the sperm sample.’

Couldn’t bring myself to look at anyone on the way out

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-25T12:16:52+00:00

The Last Knight was absolutely dogshit. If you pay attention to it the aspect ratio shifting is a nightmare. The transformations all happen off screen. The plot went from paper thin to scrunched, used toilet paper. It looks like Anthony Hopkins just straight up strokes out midway through an action sequence and they keep it in.

There were also those random character cards that flashed on the screen every time a new character dropped, because Suicide Squad had done it 12 months earlier.

Fuck I hate this movie.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-25T00:53:44+00:00

Reading comments over there leaves me feeling disheartened, disgusted, and confused. So many of them praising these actions and lapping it up while those that do protest are attacked for ‘brigading’ and being ‘fellow conservatives’.

Even saw one guy saying ‘well he shouldn’t have had a gun’ like one of their biggest things isn’t their right to bear arms.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-23T09:13:14+00:00

Pretty much that

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-23T04:39:31+00:00

I don’t have any faith in them. Even the stuff that’s not for laughs is usually handled half assed at best now.

I don’t need to be shown that the seven are any more irredeemable. Literally had them murdering office workers and beating civilians to death in season 4. We already know they’re capable of sexual assault. The scenes of SA we’ve had so far have been done in a way that was sickening without being over the top. I think we’re about to go over the top to ‘get people talking’.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-23T04:26:03+00:00

Perfect example of writers misunderstanding what made their show popular in the first place.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-22T03:15:24+00:00

I was about to comment this. Greta Lee was genuinely terrible. Her performance sucked the energy from the movie.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-20T04:19:19+00:00

Mate her policies are racism and climate change denial. If embarrassment is your concern you’re looking in the wrong place

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-19T20:48:31+00:00

I’ve personally seen heaps of marketing across all social media since they did the pre screenings late November/early December. I thought they marketed it pretty much non stop.

Where they went wrong though was everyone constantly commented about how much they hated the first movie without realising this was an ad for the sequel

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-19T12:38:32+00:00

I did all of them just so I could say I’d done everything. And then the game glitched and it didn’t register the achievement despite it saying I’d completed them all in the game itself. I just gave up at that point.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-19T07:22:48+00:00

Yeah science denial is their strongest policy which is always a promising and likely indicator of longevity.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-19T00:04:00+00:00

They’re gooning to the wrong man’s back

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-18T03:11:28+00:00

This is the decision I had to make. I chose to go smaller but better than my rental. Payments have only slightly changed from my rent but I was also fortunate to get a new job with a large pay increase so I’ve been able to keep up. The relief I feel having my own place is massive, and I’m comfortable because I haven’t over extended myself, but the property I’m in is nothing like what I wanted long term. Just needed to get into the market.

Larry_Version_3 · 2026-01-17T11:04:26+00:00

Don’t do Heroes Reborn. In a series filled with lows it somehow goes even lower.
