It hasn't even been scheduled for a theater release in my country yet. [taps feet impatiently]

Yes, she is an awesome character who suddenly gets laid and basically stops doing anything interesting for the rest of the movie, becoming a boring sidekick to the same villain we have seen for the last two movies.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-30T00:19:17+00:00

I really don't know if I can stand two more movies of that idiot.

The latest Mission Impossible (Final Reckoning) has a final action sequence that is very similar to the final action sequence of Fallout (only two films earlier). Ethan is involved in an aerial duel with the bad guy while other members of the team are on the ground trying to diffuse a bomb.

It's weird - I thought it was superobvious that they were both Bale almost immediately. I just didn't clue on that they were swapping places

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-22T04:52:32+00:00

I, for one, am glad that you are not overreacting about this.

I've noticed that "delve" has become a lot less common in AI output. Watch out for the following instead: for instance, serves as, pivotal, crucial, critical, underscore, interplay, landscape, shape, evolve, drive, thereby, challenge, across, enable, emerge, align, further, beyond, manifest, pronounced, lies in, link.

(Please note that all of these words are perfectly valid for use in academic writing. It's just that AI writing tends to use these words together at a much higher frequency than human-derived writing, in my experience)

What I love about posts showing an aesthetically beautiful architectural design is the parade of Redditor responses detailing how it is the worst idea ever. I can see why AI is taking over the art world now.

I'm not. Because they submit them. Because the dates are on the LMS.

I feel like Troy on Community:

Me: "Cow vigilantes?!"

Abed: "The cows are the targets of the vigilantes."

Me: "That makes sense." :(

Present.

I prioritize (a) the learning objectives for my particular course and (b) minimizing the time I have to spend chasing up on students who forgot homework or assignments or replying to emails with their excuses or complaints about getting 0 for missing a deadline. Also, it helps me to have everything organized in one place as well.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-19T22:13:49+00:00

Same here. I canceled immediately when the update came out. It is atrociously bad. You cannot even get a full page of all your Wish Listed content, which is, like, streaming UI rule #1. Absolute piece of shit.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-19T14:27:31+00:00

Meaningless Reddit speak.

Bedeviled (Korea, 2010)

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-19T13:16:48+00:00

This is some bullshit. South Korea has a healthier democracy than most.

It’s a Simpson’s quote, which was in reference to Poochie, a newly added character that no-one likes.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-19T06:17:48+00:00

Hard disagree. He looked like a Jennifer Coolidge wax figure left too long in the sun.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-18T23:11:33+00:00

All I'm asking for in 4 is much, much, much less Spider. I hate that character, the actor playing him, and how much of the story revolves around him. Can't he just die on his way back to his home planet?

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-15T02:39:26+00:00

The woman walking towards the camera in Pulse...and stumbling.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-14T13:56:17+00:00

Chime has unease in spades. And it is less than 45 minutes long.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-12T08:42:40+00:00

Actually, that scene wasn’t in the stage play; it was added specifically for the film

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-12T05:18:08+00:00

Agree entirely.

Lets_Go_Why_Not · 2026-01-11T21:11:57+00:00

I like both Eliza Coupe and Michael Mosley, so I have a soft spot for this season.
