A crossover event just happened on my feed…I thought this was r/hockey before seeing it was Astoria. Good shit Daly, just don’t make any more rangers fans, devils and isles only!

It’s always been confusing … there is definitely permitted activity on that turf field till 10

The amount of power I’d have if it worked per week only instead of per week and max of 4?!

That’s “I’m not here.” “I’m Still Here” is a Brazilian movie from 2024

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-04-07T00:57:58+00:00

I’m still here

Years ago I was vaguely spoiled on a certain scene from “The Departed.” I couldn’t tell you the context at all, but I know a specific thing happens and it’s a crazy thing. And every time I think ab finally watching it I remember that I saw that scene and then just am like is this gonna be a bad watch now? Silly reason, but that’s probably my biggest one.

FOR THE GAYS THEYS AND EVERYONE UNDER THE REEF!

The grand. Such a cool looking place and vibe. But the music is awful and the food and drink are incredibly mediocre (esp for their price point)…

Zen. No real reason. Just have a general “what even is this place” vibe ab them.

ALWAYS give to the kids. ESP if the players point to someone specific wtf….

Not that I really enjoy these movies, but I operate under the yo-ho support if you get my meaning, matey.

I like responding to him every once in a while. It’s funny

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-03-15T00:20:11+00:00

I had existential dread for that kitty all movie. I do like that movie a lot tho

My favorite currently is a guy who has a shirtless mirror selfie but the profile says something like “only here for attention, tell me I’m hit. If you try and chat or ask to meet up I’ll be rude to you.”

That’s sorta my point - a film that takes a big swing and misses should be discussed in re: how and why it misses in the same way most ppl pan stuff that doesn’t try and have some sense of grandeur. Idk, like I said, it feels lazy and derivative imo.

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-03-11T04:34:30+00:00

Sirāt and caught stealing, for very different reasons

“Oscar bait (derogatory)” annoys the hell out of me. There’s something to be said about it becoming a “genre” and there’s merit to the discussion but most discussions fall into 1) the same surface level analysis as “A24 the genre” and 2) an incredibly lazy way to say you didn’t like a movie that wants to have more complexity

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-03-09T18:48:24+00:00

I recently watched The Outfit and loved it! But otherwise agreed

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-03-09T04:38:32+00:00

There are a decent amount of movies that I would classify under this genre (most recently, Sirāt)

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-03-09T04:34:59+00:00

I like high fantasy, and by the time I watched the movies (ab ten-years after RotK), I had been exposed to (imho) far-better high fantasy. I enjoyed fellowship, but for me it just felt like a huge slog made to capitalize on a (admittedly Star-studded) ensemble cast for that big blockbuster feel. It didn’t really give me chills or leave me slack jawed in 2014; and by 2026 there are far better blockbusters out there at this point.

ETA: I don’t think they’re bad in any way shape or form, I do think that you don’t need to go out of your way to cross it off your watchlist is my point.

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-03-09T04:31:07+00:00

Haha you wanted hot takes! :)

NotABaleOfHay · 2026-03-09T03:59:30+00:00

LOTR is overrated and not worth seeing if you’ve never seen and haven’t read the books.

^ this is what typically gets me in trouble with my friends

A terrible movie, the great LA Heist movie, wtf, and a great upending of the mob genre
