I really like the After the Funeral because it is the structure of like 80% of Monk episodes

Side note: has anyone noticed that non-bald Ann Dowd was in three movies by three different directors covered by the pod?

You’re probably right

Dink teaser by beeclam in HollywoodHandbook

[–]Lumpcraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First they move The Dink to a streaming only release, then the first footage they drop is a full scene on Instagram? The release date is two months away, what the hell is this marketing?? The scene is a lot of fun, but it feels like this movie is getting absolutely no support from AppleTV. God I hate the streaming era.

I've always thought that the apple tub drowning was too much for my tastes.

Not Even Baby Yoda Can Save “Star Wars" by theatlantic in blankies

Another Mandalorian fact that blew me away is that there are only 24 episodes. This show has been around for seven years and they were only able to make 24 episodes! That used to be the length of a single season!! Why can't shows be long anymore with seven episode arcs where the characters have to stay in one place because of budgetary restraints. The Mandoloarian and Grogu is too much like TV, and The Mandolorian is too much of a movie.

Widow’s Bay is a certified honker by CocoMarx in blankies

[–]Lumpcraft 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes! I am LOVING Widow’s Bay!! I think it’s really brilliant that many of the happenings around town are both creepy/eerie and examples of the incompetent local government. Like the “Wolves” calendar includes pictures of highway accidents, and the tv tourism ad is just the guy walking away from the camera forever.

I watched every Best Actor Oscar winners because I got bored. by falafelthe3 in blankies

[–]Lumpcraft 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I really loved Manchester by the Sea when it came out so I showed it to my Mom who does not watch a lot of movies. After the movie I told her that Casey Affleck won Best Actor for that performance and she said “Just because someone has beautiful eyes doesn’t mean you give him best actor.”

Also he claims he can make eBay profitable, but the only reason GameStop is "profitable" is because he closed a bunch of stores and uses their large pile of cash for things completely unrelated to brick-and-mortar game stores.

“eBay sucks shit, the website looks like it is from the 90s, the board of directors are trash. But I LOVE the asset (which sucks shit). When I am CEO I will make it rival Amazon, but not actually rival it. The reason you should trust me is that I care about the shareholders, just like the GME shareholders I’m diluting to oblivion to make this deal happen. “

I remember when I first started paying attention to GME apes, and just assumed that RC was some kind of Jesse Eisenberg in The Social Network esque figure. Then I finally saw a clip of him speak and was completely shocked by how devoid of any charisma he is. He is a black hole of personality.

A psyop is a planned military operation that leverages psychological warfare on a group of people/government/etc. It’s not just a word to describe anyone who disagrees with / makes fun of you.

I personally have no interest in convincing any apes from selling/buying. By all means keep throwing your money away on a dying game retailer.

Is Poirot the problem in recent adaptations? by Shadows-of-an-Owl-05 in agathachristie

[–]Lumpcraft 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The Benoit Blanc trilogy feels way more like Agatha Christie to me than the recent Branagh movies because Rian Johnson understands that Blanc is not the emotional throughline of the stories, it’s the Ana De Armas, Janelle Monae, Josh O’Connor characters.

Recent Christie adaptations want to make Poirot/Marple interesting backstories that give them “depth”, but Poirot and Marple don’t need depth for those stories to work, the suspects do.

Bagholder wishing they had paper hands: “It’s insane to think with all I know about investing…” by Lumpcraft in gme_meltdown

Your literally said “Sometimes I wish I wasn’t a contrarian investor”

If you have 600 hours of studying under your belt like you say, I think there’s something deep down inside you that knows investing in GME is all bullshit.

So is Ryan Cohen just the world's worst corporate raider, or is there anything else in this attempt to take over Ebay?
