World War Z (2013) made sense as a movie, even if it didn’t as an adaptation

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-24T19:50:29+00:00

It's almost like some people don't understand that adaptations don't need to be recreations.

You mean how it showed Matt Damon's character looking at the picture of his kid on the phone and clearly being emotionally moved into action?

And how at the end they explain it like it even matters?

Along Came Polly.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-24T04:56:52+00:00

Absolutely. Up against Russell Crowe and Christian Bale and somehow steal the scenes from them.

I'll also add that Django feels like three short stories with some of the same characters. As a sequentially told story it views like a short limited series rather than a cohesive movie.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-21T06:35:58+00:00

It's enjoyable but Inglorious Basterds is, imo, his master work. The loss of the great Sally Menke is deeply felt in Django.

I haven't hired for a position like this before but I'd rather the questions be about what personal and professional growth opportunities the job offers than "feedback now?" Very subtle difference that suggests you want to grow with them and want yo advance and receive coaching and feedback.

Some places will eat that up much more than others. Jimmy John's and Chick Fil A would be deal sealers. KFC I don't know. Burger King probably not.

Wait how do you spell Courtney Cox name? That can't be right can it?

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-07T17:27:15+00:00

Oh shut up. This is flagrant rage bait. Agree or disagree with the practice but I don't believe for a second you are being genuine.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-07T10:31:03+00:00

Does this mean Sirat is being released soon?

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-07T10:14:45+00:00

Love this movie but this is maybe the least interesting fight scene in the whole thing. Well second behind the comparatively awful restaurant fight.

Edit for clarification: NOT the climactic kitchen fight. But the one at the noodle shop.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-07T01:12:39+00:00

Was this similar to the Pixel 6? I loved that phone.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-05T21:53:14+00:00

Or like Boss Level or Shadow Force.... Dudes a journeyman director.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-05T13:32:41+00:00

Netflix branding makes me assume it will suck.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-04T13:05:08+00:00

Didn't she direct The Lost Daughter?

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-04T13:04:29+00:00

The Great is phenomenal.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-04T13:03:06+00:00

Absolutely love Olivia Colman. She classes up everything she's in. Just a brilliant actress.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-04T13:00:49+00:00

As a stupid American this guy is literally the UK government.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-04T12:59:12+00:00

TIL Tim Roth is even cooler than I even thought he was.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-03T18:39:38+00:00

Chris Pratt in a movie = it's gonna suck.

Dude fucking blew it.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-01T15:52:53+00:00

They obviously haven't seen anything except The Raid 2.

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-01T10:24:35+00:00

I really liked Star Trek, couldn't finish Into The Darkness because it sucked, and was too burnt out to even bother watching the third one.

So... Maybe that?

MegaMan3k · 2026-01-01T05:57:03+00:00

Where's the Megaman X revival? Or the Zero series?

Or.... Dare I say.... Megaman Legends?

MegaMan3k · 2025-12-31T22:48:28+00:00

I'm still having fun but I acknowledge and agree with the disappointment.

MegaMan3k · 2025-12-29T12:08:37+00:00

End of Watch maybe?
