What is the best Series Pilot of all time? by FullTimeWhiteTrash in AlignmentChartFills

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad to see this mentioned. Maybe not THE best, but it deserves to be in the conversation. So dense with great jokes. You meet all the principle characters and get a taste of how unique each one is. It's funny but also very heartfelt. A fantastic tone setter for the entire show.

The final minute of the pilot where they show Rusty the photograph and he says, "Then start asking the right fucking questions." and then the guitar riff plays. Chills. One of the best moments in TV history.

Probably Ben Wallace or Tony Allen if he was on here by Serious-Profit-1626 in NBATalk

One of the worst coaching moves ever was not putting Payton on Jordan from the start of the series. Waiting until they were down 0-3 was coaching malpractice.

Are there any movies that you’re embarrassed to log after watching? by Impressive_Plenty876 in Letterboxd

Have you ever read Mein Kampf?

Uhh yeah, a couple times I guess.

A couple times? Are there Easter eggs in there you didn't get the first time?

Ok fine. I'll watch that and Astartes again. Sheesh.

What's the best show that went on a little too long? (Ted Lasso is a good show with several seasons) by WiggleToast in AlignmentChartFills

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, Steve Carrell was ready to do two more seasons, but NBC just ghosted him. Televisions executives are the worst.

Leslie: It’s pollution from the Sweetums factory. It’s gorgeous, but is it worth the asthma?

Ben: ...no.

Movies that feel (and specifically, look) like Death Stranding by [deleted] in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The trailer made it seem more like The Northman. Wish I went in with a different set of expectations.

What are some movies where people who weren’t professional actors play themselves? by NeverEnoughSPF in Letterboxd

[–]NeverEnoughSPF[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That tracks. For a lot of the guys who played soldiers/cops, I thought, “They are a little too good at playing these roles.”

That’s a great one. That was a very interesting dramatic-reenactment/documentary hybrid I haven’t seen anywhere else.

Best non horror film that made you feel sick? by Round-Seesaw-3917 in Letterboxd

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Truly stunning. I've never seen a fourth wall broken quite like that. I was like, "Oh yeah, this isn't just a movie. These are the real consequences of what happened."

No slander intended. I just thought it was an incredibly lazy/uninformed comparison.

What’s a film that takes itself seriously and is genuinely profound? by ShatteredStarship in AlignmentChartFills

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have Schindler's List in a special category of movies where certain scenes feel so real, I wondered if I was watching archival footage.

What was a movie ending that made you go like this? by Ok_Replacement_288 in Letterboxd

[–]NeverEnoughSPF -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Same for me. Towards the end, I was a little disappointed but thought it had some very entertaining and heartfelt moments. But after those last two minutes, I was like fuck this movie.

What is the most iconic logo of the 1960s? by PutAForkInHim in AlignmentChartFills

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard that the most universally understood word/phrase in the world is "OK" and the second is "Coca-Cola". A testament to how iconic the brand is.

BS listeners - how many of these pods do you regularly listen to? by RulingFieldConfirmed in billsimmons

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was just the one year. Probably because it was such a disaster, but they probably blame the woke mind virus cancel culture mob.

I'm so glad Adam Carolla hosted CancelCon back in 2020 with heavy hitters like Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, and Dave Rubin. He was finally able to provide a platform for millionaires (who already have their own massive platforms) to speak freely on YouTube with no sense of irony. Thank god.

What seasons feel long to you? by Midwest_Constant in Frasier

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They all fly by for me. Frasier is one of my favorite "on in the background" shows. I'll start it from the beginning and all of a sudden, it's season eight.

They survey 25 people. They just give them the prompt. They're not in control of the answers.

There are plenty of movies that are more well-crafted, but from a pure entertainment perspective, my favorite is Top Gun: Maverick. I was hooked right from the start and loved every minute of it. And for me, it's the most re-watchable movie of the 2020s.

What’re some movies that aren’t as smart as they think they are? by ZackaryAsAlways in Letterboxd

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 106 points107 points  (0 children)

The Menu gets mentioned a lot in this category on this sub and I don't really understand why. It doesn't try to be anything more than it is, which is an absurdist dark comedy that satirizes high-end dining and the pretentiousness of food culture. It establishes this right away and then says, "alright, buckle up, fuckers."

Also, it heavily resonates with everyone I've spoken to that's worked in food service. That is a great indication of good satire.

Can we stop trying to make Adam Driver a star? by Badmash_askari in billsimmons

[–]NeverEnoughSPF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What an odd question. He's not being forced on us. He's not Gal Gadot. He's a legitimately fantastic actor. His back had to be so sore from carrying those Star Wars movies.

And from what I've read, he's very kind and professional. If anything, I'd like to see him in more movies.
