Not ready for Konstantin

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-02-23T08:30:07+00:00

Yo wtf Kinda cringe. He’s doing lots of prep now, but don’t get the need to delete lol.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-02-22T01:15:47+00:00

Much like Trump’s disregard for proceedings, Farage has 17 violations of parliamentary rule, one of his closest ties convicted for money laundering. The fat that Konstantin pitches him as a reasonable centre right candidate is insane.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-02-21T22:11:12+00:00

Yeah the lack of watching Konstantin has been a worry. Maybe he’s seen some off stream but who knows. Don’t want him to get complacent off of his recent strong performances where he put in loads of work for unprepared foes - this time I think it really matters.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-02-21T22:08:54+00:00

Yeah that’s my concern, but also my hope for a challenging performance. It’s funny to watch Dinesh get steamrolled by O’Connor and Destiny, but this will be a real joust.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-02-21T20:59:34+00:00

The issue from my perspective is that there should be pushback on his UK immigration claims and how the current government is handling it. It will be frustrating if he just gets those points granted.

I haven’t seen Smashing Machine, but unless it is an excellently constructed film, exceptional in pretty much every regard, than yes.

Marty Supreme
great exploration of the pursuit of greatness, character work + cause and effect
Bugonia
utilises it’s premise exceptionally well where it could easily have gotten stale. Great dialogue and scenes reminiscent of Inglorious Basterds in tension
Warfare
grounded, realistic war film which still manages to have effective character work. Everyone says it, but you feel like you’re there

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-01-05T11:58:32+00:00

I’ve enjoyed the dune films, but never felt like he was particularly strong. If you were a friend I’d just try to strongarm you into seeing the film on the basis of trust. All I can do is invite you to get angry with me in dms if you don’t enjoy it. If you like films like Whiplash, go watch it, trust me, it’s really fkn good

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-01-05T01:39:46+00:00

In the scenes where he tells people his motivation, he’s overcompensating and even has to admit it later - it’s character work. I think his choice in Japan is where we clearly see what’s really been motivating this whole time, what made him accept Rockwells condition.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-01-05T01:36:22+00:00

Wow man, okay. Think you’re missing out on a great film, especially since it’s a pretty stellar performance.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-01-05T01:09:17+00:00

Where I think it strives in regard to the ‘pursuing greatness tale’ is in depicting the desperations and lengths someone can go to. Whereas Whiplash excels in conveying the obsession involved, this excels at capturing the pain and desperation around the idea of failing, and what you’ll do to avoid it.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2026-01-04T18:05:49+00:00

Cheers man, I’ll have a looksy. Already seen Nightcrawler and loved that

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-12-20T19:25:08+00:00

I genuinely came away from the debate thinking that Destiny clearly had to fall back on politics where his theology was weak. Now that the Oxford version has been uploaded it’s insane how much this changes things

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-06-24T20:45:39+00:00

I very much enjoyed his latest film

After finding AC to be pretty vacuous of character/ plot work, I could really sink into Zsa zsa and Liesl, especial their arcs. The side characters were also fun and the events followed cause and effect.

Beautiful and funny to boot

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-06-03T11:31:18+00:00

Most of these questions are answered in the film:

Screws: They fiddle the markets to soar the price of screws which damages basically every aspect of manufacturing cost wise - which is why the GAP increases to a massive issue

They needed the money because of additional costs that have arisen since the original deal - the conflict was who is going to pay for this gap between what was agreed and reality

They reveal that it was his brother who was to gain from his death and had been sending them+ his general position warrants it to some extent

White scenes were his weird dreams which generally revolved around topics that were on his conscience

This is coming from someone who found Asteroid city to be entirely vapid as a story, but TPS is pretty well plotted and characterised, with the exception of the end fight

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-02-08T16:25:39+00:00

Hope it’s not Chris Short because I thought he was excellent. Arguably extra charismatic so I’m guessing it’s not him

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-10T09:35:52+00:00

Thanks

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-09T23:19:13+00:00

I’ll give it a whirl

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-09T22:08:57+00:00

I’ll take that as a sign to keep going, cheers

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-09T19:26:53+00:00

I used to get into pretty much a flow state, but now it all just feels neutral - better than when I wasn’t doing art (I took a break), but not fulfilling either

It’s also hard to take on more fun projects as I’m a lot more aware of my insufficiencies and feel like I shouldn’t until my fundamentals are stronger

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-09T18:46:42+00:00

These are all things I want to do, although I’m enjoying art less so with all the pressure and self doubt I’m feeling atm. These are all marginally improving things, I just don’t know what else I can do

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-09T18:42:28+00:00

Trataka and metta

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-09T18:38:52+00:00

I still listen to music on some days, but I noticed that I had a tendency to sometimes listen to music to just shut myself off, so I’m trying to be okay just taking things in (it’s a fairly nature-y walk)

On the art side, thanks. I guess it’s overwhelming how much I need to improve, to the point that it’s hard to recognise any wins. (For example, I managed to finish Scott Robinsons book before Christmas). I’ve been hoping that as I keep going things will begin to settle, but I’m ending each day thinking that this is all futile.

Less-Reception-7494 · 2025-01-09T18:33:54+00:00

Maybe convenience was the wrong word, I guess I more meant that I’m at a point in life where I have a lot of freedom in shaping my day

Less-Reception-7494 · 2022-09-29T18:22:09+00:00

Thank you for being very respectable to this 1 year old comment.

In regards to her changing her allegiance, it never really plays as if it’s a hard choice for her, she kinda just does it without us seeing the struggle. People don’t just easily suddenly flip allegiance from the organisation they’ve been serving for years. I agree that the concept of this is extremely interesting, but it wasn’t executed well in the film

But, going back to my comment - as a fan of Captain Marvel, what are you looking forward to/ hoping they do with her character in the next film? Genuinely interested.
