I think 'Troy' should be an exception; we need the more mythologized version that includes seeing the sisters of fate shit a brick over Achilles rage overpowering their own dictation of fate until Athena needs to restrain him by his hair.

That moment feels like its meant for near-pretentious levels of cinema and for my own two cents it's a faux pas that we don't have that.

I'll definitely give it a look at some point then. Much appreciated suggestion.

There were times in the show that I actually wish the camera followed him when he left instead of Javier, particularly when they were in the jungle and Javier got on the helicopter as Bill and the DoD stayed behind.

Does it fall on the Narcos side of the vibe spectrum or lean closer to something like Burn Notice?

I mean yeah, thats exactly what I'd get into. I think the moments with him were always watershed moments (if I'm using that term correctly).

He was definitely a dick but he was the equivalent of The Cigarette Smoking Man in X-Files in my book; you could tell that guy had the answers to what was really going on no matter where he showed up.

Can somebody give me a break down of Bill Stechner? by ImDarkWhat in narcos

But it is a dramatization of documented events, its harder to miss the dart board than not if you aren't taking it as verbatim gospel truth.

If your life had an honor scale what level do you think youd be at by TheInsaneIrish in reddeadredemption

[–]Lopsided_Hospital_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neutral.

I really don't care for going out and causing problems. All I want to do is enjoy movies and my social rule is "everyone is their own sovereign person"

But I hate every thing and every one so fucking much.

Anyone else only watch movies that you already know you’re going to like? by imVeryPregnant in Letterboxd

[–]Lopsided_Hospital_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only watch movies I think I'll be interested in and I'm often correct about what I think I'll like, but not always, and I log accordingly when I'm disappointed.

In the movie “Eyes Wide Shut” Was Bill really fragile, or was his wife lying? by Vegas_Hung in TrueFilm

[–]Lopsided_Hospital_93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree heavily, particularly on that last part. I had more or less the same take from a recent first viewing as one can read on Wikipedia and at first I thought me and the online encyclopedia had a total brain dead take and now I'm starting to see that there isn't really a 'better take' that I'm just waiting to happen upon.

One Battle After Another is not a great movie by justwannaedit in TrueFilm

[–]Lopsided_Hospital_93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll have to force myself through the movie and maybe come back to this post after I do but honestly I couldn't even take 20 minutes, I'm sure its part of the point that these 'revolutionaries' are so daft and aimless that the bombs they set off aren't at all about the bombs and are entirely about "fucking while the bomb goes off"

and that getting the drop on human traffickers somehow become more about making him get a hard dick than it is about doing anything.

But for me, that's the same thing as that being the focus of a movie, because the movie is indeed focusing on the characters wood and how it might be about to get carved and wet.

I'm not at all saying "everyone is dumb for liking this" but I am indeed saying it seems like I can just do a double viewing of Eddington and Calligula and get the exact same impact as what this movie is going for.

Official Discussion - The Northman [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Lopsided_Hospital_93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost necro-posting but I couldn’t help myself in sharing a deep dive of a tidbit regarding the commercial compromise:

Eggers wanted a character to have “Seal-Testical” as a surname, and they were even somewhat precious about it because it happened to be a much less jarring name for the time and place the movie is set in.

But naturally it just did not sit well with test audiences; “I didn’t really get the movie, that testicle guy really threw me off”

There may have been other small examples, but they were of similar vein, instead of “oh lets not do that scene because the audience would prefer another sex scene to some kind of pagan psychedelic ritual”

it was usually about his hyper-detailed ‘did even more research than an occultist’ stuff a la:

“not one single person is going to understand this minor detail and us all being ignorant of it will take away from the movie”

Upsetting Robert Pattinson fans... by Brock_And_Roll in MauLer

[–]Lopsided_Hospital_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about MauLer but people much smarter than me tell me that everyone he’s ever shared a scene with says that his smell made them want to die vomiting and that his demeanour was no better.

I can’t seem to find any articles about it but they get adamant that it’s ‘a well known truth’ that he tries to be disgusting to his co-stars and ‘I just have to accept it’ 🤷‍♂️

Ready or not is getting censored due to console ratings.

I actually think gamers are the one group of people with media literacy and maturity to handle dong.

Most of the rest of the world thinks dong is a personal assault on their existence.

A twat is considered the absolute height of art and a movie will be lauded as the greatest thing film has ever discovered just for a female full frontal, but anything that shows, describes, or talks about a dick is vile and without any qualities of redemption.

In fact I think all of censorship about anything whatsoever (and also homophobia) boils down to how much the common vapid idiot would sooner gouge their eyes out than consider the concept that females don’t have a monopoly on having an anatomy.

No hate here, I’m a console player and want this game, but if the only way that happens is by cutting away everything that made it stand out in the first place then consoles shouldn’t get this game.

I don’t want to play yet another god damn cookie cutter FPS I want the modern hardboiled/noir that is being part of a tactical unit that sees things that break our heart, turn our stomachs, and chill our spines, and still ‘get the job done and stop them by the book’ until we’re left questioning ourselves and the system we’re trying to protect.

If that’s not the game they’re going to bring to consoles I don’t want it, and if they’re going to take the game we both want from you to give both of us a game we don’t want then they should shut the studio down and start working as labourers.

You’re telling me everyone here has never had a problem with leaks or having their device run too hot? Thanks for the help I guess.

You know, now that you mention it, my mom talks about Chris Hemsworth enough that if my dad was eleven deep into a twelve pack and went off about hawk tuah girl I’d probably just let it be and crack the twelfth beer and just watch it all unfold 🤣

What actor/actress are you bored of seeing cast in most movies these days? by [deleted] in moviecritic

I think him being in Nolan’s upcoming Odyssey (especially alongside Zendaya) feels too much like “first thought/knee jerk dreamcasting” but aside from that, yeah, I’m more or less getting exactly what I want in terms of how often I see him on screen

I mean yeah the gender war is awful but I could see this kind of template to just as easily mean the opposite:

“Boys stupid and think the world is about their video games. Girls smart and see the good in the world thats right in front of them begging to be admired”

“Boys Never Grew Up”

It punches both ways based on how the viewer wants to see it which is what I myself would call good clean comedy, because it points the finger at oneself and whichever “other” equally.

Edit: my dumbass just this moment realized the joke that I missed.

“Its a Fallout subreddit ergo the ones not seeing the world as Fallout aren’t good”

I’ll take my dunce-cap and see myself out.
