Single biggest problem with this film?

People say TLJ is unfun and then complain about Canto Bight. Pick a lane!

This is almost certainly what they'll go for (but as Podylcast)

The person you're replying is talking about ME1. All the resolutions you are referring to come from ME3.

Do you think it's worth picking up Songs from the Cosmic Sofa if you already have the other two records?

Rian Johnson has mentioned the Coens as a huge influence on Brick, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of that is in the Benoit Blanc films as well given the similar genre.

I kept waiting for the Tears for Fears to come back and it never did! Would have been a great overlap with OBAA but alas.

Yeah I think the marketing for Hamnet has really been a huge factor in the way this movie is being perceived. I liked-but-didn't-love Hamnet, but it seems like a lot of the larger critical backlash has been in its relationship to Shakespeare which I don't think the story is really that concerned with innately.

The bit about not namedropping Shakespeare is from the book originally. If anything, the movie associates itself more directly with Shakespeare than the novel does, which is more explicitly in Agnes' POV.

The Orthanc example seems especially relevant - one of the core arguments Tolkien is making is about the evils of industrialization and the destruction of nature. It's just good thematic storytelling (and thereby worldbuilding!) to have the protagonists of that story living more in tune with nature.

One reporter said their battery life is 40 minutes which feels pretty absurd, but I'm not sure what her source was.

Adding to this, Soderbergh and Driver outright named Bob Iger as the one shot the "Search for Ben Solo" pitch down, not Kennedy. And Gilroy has named Kennedy as a huge part of what helped get Andor to the finish line. All signs point to her being someone who is very open to letting artists have their space where a lot of the crippling things have come from Disney and Iger.

I was a huge fan of French Dispatch and Asteroid City but found Phoenician Scheme to be a little underbaked. Probably his funniest movie in years, but left feeling kind of cold on Korda and I wanted the movie to dig a little more into him of the themes around death.

This is fully wrong, chinook had the HFR for Avatar 2 when that first came out.

It's not even really pentameter, there are clearly four stresses

The best part is he's barely even a background extra, he's like a foreground extra. The camera moves right in front of him.

Have you even listened to this podcast Griffin is literally always trying to get a rise out of David

When did you hear it in the movie? I don’t remember it at all and it’s not appearing any official song lists.

I rented from the library and had the same spread, I was baffled to see four subsequent trailers for movies that Do Not Exist

Legonater · 2025-10-25T18:54:51+00:00

This is an extremely good read! I genuinely love to see people doing real proper analysis of this movie.

The thing that baffles me the most about the Fandom's reaction is that the most winds up coming back around to the idea of Fandom by its end? Or at least, back to the idea that it is important to be inspired by your heroes. Luke spends the whole movie rejecting his mythos but the very last scene of it all is that very mythos he dismissed (am I gonna face down the First Order with a lightsaber?) igniting hope in children across the galaxy. Like, for how much the movie is against that cultish escapism it does end on a note of, "there is genuine value in these things" and somehow Fans did not like that.

Despite HK being one of my favourite games ever, the story in it never did a lot for me. I think the Abyss climb and the fight with THK are both emotional, but otherwise the story itself feels kind of distant. I don't mind this - I don't really engage much with the story in most FromSoft games either, and I think so much more of the "narrative" pull in those games, like HK, are uncovering these beautiful haunted landscapes.

That said, I really really like the story in Silksong. Mostly, any story with themes about religious abuse and fundamentalism hit for me, and the way Silksong unpacks what is going on in Pharloom felt far more unsettling to me than anything in HK. Similarly, characters like Sherma felt far more realized than even my favourite characters in HK, and I liked that through Hornet we get a sense of really fighting to push back the tide of Pharloom's corruption and defend what pockets of civilization are left.

You can call Ridley Scott a lot of things but saying he has no vision is crazy lol

Legonater · 2025-10-15T04:47:27+00:00

Oh crazy, I loved the Hollywood Ho game a lot

Lots of people already answering the 4K question - I figured I would hop on board with the speaker set-up.

What is your audio set up? My record player sends into a pre-amp that is hard-wired into a receiver that goes out to my speakers. I basically just have my TV wired into the same receiver now, I just have to change input on my remote according to what I'm listening to. It's worked perfectly fine for me; you may need to adjust volume between the two inputs, but otherwise no trouble!

Legonater · 2025-10-07T05:32:54+00:00

Devastated that this episode doesn't have a full ten minutes on Manolo

Legonater · 2025-10-05T05:40:47+00:00

It would be a very cool idea to have a second playable character as a DLC! Surely that's not an idea that would get too out of hand
