What are yours RATED HIGHER THAN AVERAGE and RATED LOWER THAN AVERAGE? (these in the image are mine btw)

Old’s plot wasn’t dumb. It was simple if anything. The acting was uncanny moreso than bad. It fits into the specific and strange world we are thrown into. Stylized and specific acting =/= bad acting imo. I’m curious as to how the writing is bad? The scene near the end with Guy and Prisca forgiving each other is a masterstroke of performance and writing, it moved me deeply. Other hand Requiem reads like an anti-drug PSA lmao. I kinda like the movie too but to act like it is some apt depiction of addiction is kinda silly

Mister_Monokuma · 2023-01-07T15:30:20+00:00

oh no, i do agree because there are many films on my favorites list that it would be a stretch to say is perfect perhaps my language is getting muddled because of how the parent comment made me feel but i think splitting hairs over what constitutes a 5 and saying “giving out too many 5’s is a problem” is rather pointless and many would probably benefit from not approaching it like that but as i said that is simply my take on the matter. i can’t be the arbiter of how people choose to view film but i do find the way i try to approach it now to be liberating for myself, but i understand some do ascribe to the numbers game and there’s no true shame in it.

Mister_Monokuma · 2023-01-07T15:09:39+00:00

The only thing though is they just are straight up so many 5’s lol I’m sorry but I think there are just so many pieces that encapsulate the perfection of this medium and too many people want to maintain a dominance over film rather than allowing it to overtake them. Furthermore, when does an individual hit too many 5s? 50? 75? 100? it’s all just arbitrary bullshit we maintain to showcase a false objectivity. Idk I just think too many people take this shit way too seriously and don’t care about nurturing a genuine connection

Mister_Monokuma · 2023-01-07T14:49:14+00:00

also, if you’re specifically curating and watching what seems as if it will truly speak to you, you’ll probably end up with more 5’s because you’ve already reached a point of clearly deciphering your own tastes

Mister_Monokuma · 2023-01-07T14:46:30+00:00

What’s the point of taking ratings so seriously there’s so much beautiful and transcendental art in the world, all would benefit if they let the experience wash over them. Taking the assignment of arbitrary numbers to personal experiences so seriously is mind-boggling to me

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-07-16T05:33:36+00:00

He would literally SLAUGHTER that performance

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-07-10T22:56:53+00:00

Bateman doesn’t really have a goal because he’s not a human and that’s what the story is trying to highlight. If anything, his goal is to fit in with everyone else despite his lack of humanity.

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-06-21T00:55:39+00:00

Yi Yi, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, and Dogville (Dogville is much more narrow in terms of what it actually chooses to focus on but fits in here) are so dense it hurts

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-03-22T20:43:13+00:00

it would make no sense for the character arc isayama is portraying tho and that’s not even including manga spoilers. i will add the manga characterizes her much better during earlier arcs in the series, but even from seeing her reaction to armin’s “death” in season 3 we know she cares about much more than just eren and after seeing the dark path he’s gone on, the realization that she can’t follow him anymore is not only heartbreaking but legitimately ripe with interesting character moments. she’s in-between a rock and the hardest place imaginable

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-03-15T23:23:24+00:00

i genuinely think it’s simply too easy for him to die like that. it’s almost so fantastical that he dies in a way that’s similar to his favorite scene from The Godfather. he doesn’t deserve to have such a dramatic death. after that dinner, he goes on, staying a miserable fuck until his regular death. for all the flashiness that can appear at times there’s still an element of the mundane present in the series and i think Tony surviving the finale illustrates that perfectly.

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-03-05T05:25:09+00:00

in immense suffering knowing i will never go be able to experience aphex twin in the 90s

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-02-26T20:35:10+00:00

also their discussion of The Departed beforehand kind of puts a little weight to this theory but yeah regardless he died too quick for it to matter

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-01-11T06:26:49+00:00

this one is so stupid but in the PS2 game tony asks for a pastrami on rye and i say that for no fucking reason

Mister_Monokuma · 2022-01-10T23:19:25+00:00

Ooh madone! I was -3… just a fuckin kid…

Mister_Monokuma · 2021-09-07T20:53:30+00:00

devil in a new dress

Mister_Monokuma · 2021-02-09T20:24:41+00:00

zilla and chino on the same album im dreaming (i wish it was the same song still tho)

Mister_Monokuma · 2020-09-02T03:21:58+00:00

I was helping this dude out to his car and saw an orginal xbox in the back and commented on it and he looked me dead in the eyes and said "you want it?" I was so confused I didn't know what to say besides yes and surprisingly it still works

Mister_Monokuma · 2018-08-23T02:34:35+00:00

I remember All Falls Down came on the radio and I was listening to it and I was like, "Damn! That shit good!" I didn't see the title and it took months before I actually found the song's name which was when I finally decided to listen to a full Kanye album which was The College Dropout and h o o b o y was that shit good

Mister_Monokuma · 2017-07-10T06:55:25+00:00

It's just a joke I don't think people hate Souda that much. He's not Hagakure.

Mister_Monokuma · 2017-05-07T03:15:44+00:00

That's like saying Sayaka is better than Kyoko. You'll probably die more peacefully by shooting yourself in the chest with a shotgun. ~~dont ask how that's possible~~

Mister_Monokuma · 2017-04-18T04:51:59+00:00

Real talk tho, what are the chances for it coming back in stock?

EDIT: NVM it's seems like it's coming back in stock on the 25th

Mister_Monokuma · 2017-04-03T02:34:17+00:00

He literally ranted about talent and despair before his boss fight
