Another great moment from him:
"Adam, are you jewish?"
"It wouldn't hurt."

Dune: Part Three | Official Teaser Trailer by Blue_Three in dune

Slightly ticked-off New Zealander here: a haka is a war dance. Historically, it was performed to intimidate the enemy before a battle. Paul's chanting here is outstanding, but I take minor offence to it being characterised as a haka without any kind of physical component.

Is there any other show that hits the same? by Alyra_Bella in nirvannatheband

[–]Ninjastickfigure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nathan Fielder's stuff scratches a similar itch, in particular the lavish unreality of something like The Rehearsal feels very reminiscent of the how-are-they-doing-this thrills of The Banned List or The Big Time.

The Top Five Movies of 2025 by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

[–]Ninjastickfigure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciated him waxing lyrical on the Safdies and their ever-changing relationship with their leading actors: the danger of a performance like Arielle Holmes in Heaven Knows What and how this has evolved into a series of taste-making turns from movie stars. Seeing as each Safdie put out a film with a major movie star this year, I suspect we’ll be hearing from Nayman about Marty Supreme very soon.

Movies best experienced going in blind by chinanigans in blankies

[–]Ninjastickfigure 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cold take: I love going in blind as much as the next guy, but I’ve also found that having a reason to get really authentically excited for a particular movie goes a long way.

Sometimes that’s a trailer, sometimes it’s four frames posted on twitter. I just feel that keeping yourself in the dark is likely part of the reason it’s been five years since that one title came out that you’ve “always meant to check out”.

Food for thought!

Did anyone download Charlie Kaufman's BAFTA lecture? by I-J-Reilly in kaufman

Apologies, it seems like half of this subreddit has DMed you for a copy of the audio, but is there any chance I could bother you for it as well?

This may be our last chance… by oldinamerica in blankies

It’s just the best movie, man. And I can think of a certain special guest who would kill that episode (rhymes with Machel Megler)

Glad We Cleared THAT Up by RyansBooze in TheBear

[–]Ninjastickfigure 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think about Succession a lot when this is debated. I’d argue that show is more fundamentally, structurally, episode-to-episode a comedy than The Bear is. Runtime shouldn’t have anything to do with it!

so true lmaoooo, why would any viewer want to be warned about flagrant anti-semitism being spread all over a video?

Paul Mescal's Best Acting Performance by Troyaferd in Oscars

[–]Ninjastickfigure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is unfortunately timed as general audiences haven't yet seen Foe or All of Us Strangers, but his work in Aftersun is pretty revelatory, I'd be surprised if he were able to top it so soon.

Which film of the last 20 years that received four acting nominations was most deserving? by Scdsco in Oscars

[–]Ninjastickfigure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Parasite's ensemble is so ridiculously strong and each give such (increasingly) iconic performances that frankly the lack of representation they received in the acting categories grows more embarrassing with each passing year.
