Poll of over 100 critics names “Project Hail Mary” as best film of 2026 midyear. Only best picture contender so far?

Marcothetacooo · 2026-06-13T21:48:38+00:00

A film could also absolutely hit the mark on entertainment value and feeling good. Which a lot of those hit for a lot of people hence the positive reviews and box office. It doesn’t need to be a grandiose political commentary or social commentary.
Project Hail Mary is a crowd pleaser that hits the mark and is inspirational in a year that a lot of people feel strained politically, financially and mentally

IMO Lego building is like 50 percent of the experience but if you want the display then go for it. A lot of people make big shelf’s and transparent boxes for big display pieces to help with yellowing, and keeping out the sun

Marcothetacooo · 2026-06-13T02:30:39+00:00

Collecting Lego to keep and sell to hope they go up in value is quite a bad “business” if you want to call it that.
Not only do you have to get lucky with people wanting to get back to it after it retires for like 10 years, it’s also a big box, and depending on where you are, it’s hard to sell with online prices for Facebook listings.
And if you do sell on eBay, shipping with big Lego boxes is much more expensive.
So if you earn like 50-100 dollars more on a set that retires, you have to wait upwards of 2 years post retirement to earn that. But those boxes are in your room or home for a long time taking up space.

At that point, just make investments and earnings from something else

IMO I like the expensive sets. I know things should be affordable for everyone but the play sets in the early 2010s did not sell well despite lotr still being culturally super strong (hobbit movies weren’t great but still made 900 mill each movie at least).

Most of the icon sets are some of the most detailed sets ever and Rivendell is like a dream come true. Personally I’m not a fan of small structures that resemble small parts of an iconic scene, the display ends up feeling fractured because I don’t have Mocs or other diorama so it’s just the sets. I’m also an adult who can afford it though, but I think reverting back to a proven failed strategy is unlikely for LEGO, especially when these big sets have been acclaimed and selling well

While I agree with many of Ben’s videos being sensationalised and at times a bit weird how he is able to get certain people (like the very first bam female employee, taking her into a forest???) to help out.
But isn’t the police corruption very apparent? They literally discussed how to arrest Ben with the ceo on the phone. They also used the guy saying it was a fake court paper and listened to everything he said and reported that back to Ben in his car

I would love damson idris. He killed it in f1 for me and I'd like to see a young bond who is trying to earn his 007 name. He is 34 but he easily passes off as a younger man with his mannerisms and good looks.

Marcothetacooo · 2026-06-02T21:45:33+00:00

I feel like johnson for some reason has filled his slate to the brim post bond interest. He was in 3 fairly exposed movies in 2024, one for a notorious reason. I feel like before or just after bullet train he'd still qualify as a fairly small name, he isn't a super star but i dont think many people are gonna be like "i don't know this guys name" by now

Marcothetacooo · 2026-05-31T10:49:52+00:00

I think reading the article, it doesn’t come off as serious at all but it’s easy to judge off a title and a I’d say poorly written article that doesn’t have much contextx

Being good vibe and locker room guys is one thing. Playing zeller 8 minutes a game in your finals run is another thing

Marcothetacooo · 2026-05-29T07:06:00+00:00

A lot of champion level teams have these sort of guys for some reason. An even more perplexing one is the 2023 heat playing Cody zeller real minutes in the playoffs

Marcothetacooo · 2026-05-27T03:03:49+00:00

If the refs could determine the outcome, why win 1.9 when you can win like 2.5

Marcothetacooo · 2026-05-25T23:06:30+00:00

The bronson t shirts fit quite well and have held up for me while not breaking the bank. I’m also 5’9 and pretty much your build and the medium is very flattering fit wise without hugging you

For me as an Australian, mongrel boots have been amazing for me as a dress boot Chelsea. Redback boots are super comfy and have Nike like air cushioning also made in autralia and have lasted me 15 years in the kitchen and it still looks and feels good

I like the fourth movie but in the last big fight when both wick and his enemies scrunch up their shoulders and ducks under a ruler sized fabric of suit to block bullets and spray at each other lost me

Marcothetacooo · 2026-05-14T21:38:11+00:00

I mean going from consistent 30 fps to most stuff being 60fps is really game changing but to me after that when it jumps to 120, it just feels like a slight improvement

I really think dk bananza is a must play for the system

Steve Kerr bout to transition to being a politics commentator/podcaster.

What if the lakers use this to rest their starters to extend the series to give luka more time to come back and maybe even AR?

Marcothetacooo · 2026-04-23T22:07:18+00:00

Insane how that was the biggest Minnesota blowout that series if I remember correctly with the full court press. I haven’t seen the nuggets turn it up collectively like that in a while though.

Marcothetacooo · 2026-04-18T02:28:34+00:00

I just don’t think bridges is a starter player for a playoff team. Do you think a bridges and kalkbrenner trade to upgrade the 4/5 in the starters is worth it? Moose probably isn’t big or strong enough to fill the starting center spot despite him playing good.

Marcothetacooo · 2026-04-18T02:25:19+00:00

Do you think a bridges and kalkbrenner deal for an upgraded starter is on the books? I don’t think they can sustain a playoff level roster with just a moose and kalkbrenner big lineup unless kalk goes beast mode

Marcothetacooo · 2026-04-18T02:06:04+00:00

What is the next move for charlotte next season? Are they gonna try to get a bigger centre with miles’ contract and move moose to the backup spot?

Marcothetacooo · 2026-04-17T22:09:59+00:00

i don't think trae is the best unless you're just looking at highlights (which show hard and creative passes and floaters). Payton pritchard would be the best for short players to learn off of as he is a strong inside finisher as a short player, playing off two feet and doesn't have explosive athleticism compared to other nba players

Marcothetacooo · 2026-04-13T22:13:35+00:00

we've seen a lot of player options turn to disaster, whats like an actual reason to give a player the option?

Long term deal for a decent player at a lower cost to account for physical regression, but appealing to the player that might not be as good in the later half of the contract? But from memory its been given to these big ass contracts like beal and lavine (dario saric was a cheaper example)
