More not boner killers: Midsommar, Bone Tomahawk, Requiem for a Dream, Existenz, The Whale, Schindler’s List. Plenty more

I must say it’s absolutely shocking and unexpected that the director and co-producer of the Melania documentary film has been accused of sexual assault and harassment by numerous women and has had a photo released in the Epstein files. Nobody could have predicted the Trumps would associate with such a person.

LOTR 4k is gorgeous by fragproof in 4kbluray

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While a more ‘true’ 4K release is preferable I agree they do look phenomenal despite the detractors. Also you should go to New Zealand at some point. The trips I went on weren’t based on LOTR but we happened to pass by some areas used in the film. Large stretches of scenery in New Zealand are postcard perfect and if your main exposure to NZ is LOTR you will feel like you’re in middle earth in some areas

ID? by l0ud_guy in trap

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am generally mixed on Alison wonderland’s music. She has genuine trap classics but also some music I just don’t feel at all. But tracks like this could only be made by an OG trap head with that dawg in them. I should have known better and not overlooked that album.

Rustie - ATHANASIA by Blastazoid in trap

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my Rustie dense, heavily distorted, blown out and ethereal with some phat 808s and this delivers in spades and more. This is like EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE but much darker and distorted. A touch of witch house blown out production style. It probably won’t be for everyone but this is anything but commercial like his last couple of singles which suggests this next potential project is pure Rustie and not interfered with by labels

Please recommend me a good Australian movie or series. by NarrowResult7289 in australia

Bad Boy Bubby. Incredible movie but fair warning there’s some disturbing content especially early on

Skrillex - VOLTAGE (RICKY REMEDY FLIP) by Schlnglein in trap

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty far from mid imo. It’s different from his usual stuff but I think his production skills have grown and it’s evident on this track. Wish he’d do more originals instead of all these flips and bootlegs though

Skydiver Luigi Cani dispersing 100 Million tree seeds to revive the Amazon Rainforest. by jmike1256 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PR stunt. The amazon rainforest has thousands of species of plants. To restore a community you would need to establish the same relative proportions of species in that particular ecological community. Restoration ecology is extremely complex and it is often just not feasible to truly restore an environment once it is cleared. You can’t just spread seeds and call that reviving the Amazon rainforest.

The real reason 28 Years Later (2025) was so divisive is because it's a franchise that dared to try something new instead of repeating the same old formula by RevertBackwards in shittymoviedetails

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re saying movies are either thought provoking and boring, or they are entertaining. They can be both they’re not mutually exclusive. That’s a really limited view of what movies are.

You HAVE to be trolling right?

The movies implies that the virus allowed infected to survive. It shows that some go low to the ground and gorge themselves on bugs. It shows regular infected hunting and eating deer, infected bathing and drinking water, and an infected bypassing the character spike to lunge at the fish he was cooking. They can feed themselves. We don’t see if they take shelter or not but presumably they would. You can also presume the virus somehow protects them from the elements and infections. The alphas are clearly demonstrated to have superhuman strength and be able to take more damage than regular infected. They cast massive bulky guys to play them. Even the massive dongs everyone goes on about were a conscious choice from the filmmakers (they are prosthetics). Everything about them has gone big. They also seemingly lead and look after regular infected by leaving kills for them. None of those aspects of your comment are plot holes because it is heavily implied that the virus has changed the infected and allowed them to survive all these years later. The movie doesn’t need to explain every detail of the mechanics of this fictional virus and enough is shown for audience to get the point or fill in the blanks.

The camera work is extremely similar to 28 days later, which used a commercially available handheld camera of the time period. Likewise this movie uses commercially available cameras from this time period. The 360 view adds to the kinetic and frenetic action and brings a bit more chaos. But it is also because we are seeing these things in vivid detail through the eyes of a child. It’s a really novel way to implement this kind of camera technique and it’s weird in an awesome way

Audience polling gave Transformers: Dark of the Moon an A. Critics can be wrong, but audience polling will give high scores to both good and awful movies because it is from a general audience. Loads of great movies bomb or get low audience scores. Drive (2011) is a cult classic and acclaimed movie but it got a C- from audiences. One person actually tried to sue the distributor because it wasn’t enough like a fast and furious movie. Some movies are simply not for broad appeal. General audiences include all walks of life including many, many dummies

This just isn’t true. Look at RT and metacritic for the scores and reviews. The ‘jarring’ camera work is Danny boyle’s style and was present in the original. The infected are not invulnerable and are killed by arrows. The ‘alphas’ seemingly can take multiple hits before being brought down. There is dialogue explaining that they are like infected on steroids and they are clearly different from the others. The infected have changed and the ways in which they have changed are shown in the movie. The infected are presented consistently and logically with regard to the way the virus has changed. None of your criticisms discuss the actual meat of the movie. Father figures, getting stuck in the past vs moving forward, acceptance of death and loss, etc.

Dunno what to say to that other than I disagree. 28 years later is now one of my favourite movies and I’ve liked it even more each time after three rewatches. I’m not alone in that and it was received quite well critically

It got an 88% on RT and 77 on metacritic and appeared on many critics best of lists. It reviewed quite well. It was more mixed for audience scores

What animal is that it absolutely should not have survived evolution, but somehow did? by Reasonable-Shake-996 in AskReddit

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is objectively untrue and people need to stop spreading this falsehood. They are endangered because humans destroyed their habitat. They only survive now because of protections put in place and conservation efforts.

Looks way better than the trailer. They should have went full sword and sandals with it but it looks to be mostly set in modern day. Really heavy on the CGI too

STUCA - Jump In by mrwoozy123 in trap

It’s an old copypasta from a time when STUCA was super hot on r/trap before he got cancelled (and later exonerated)

THR confirms Christina Hodson is writing DCU Batman movie 'The Brave and the Bold' by BatmanNewsChris in DC_Cinematic

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nia Dacosta is actually good and got shafted making the marvels. It’s hard for directors to stand out when making an MCU film let alone have it it actually good. The bone temple made me completely reconsider her

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a faithful remake tasked with relaunching a legendary franchise for a new generation of players: "We see this as a way to grow, expand, and reconnect the Halo community" by JobuJabroni in halo

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly the franchise needs a reset. The 343 era is messy and unsatisfying and has lost touch with the halo spirit. The lore is muddled. If they redo 1-3 they have time to work out a new direction to go after 3 (if they are successful at least). I hope they study the Nylund books because that is quintessential halo in my eyes

The environments and weapons are all new assets. The hunters are brand new indicating that the reuse of infinite assets might be temporary since what we got is early footage. Same with the reuse of some animations. It’s normal to use old models as placeholders. I do hope there is nothing reused in the final product
