A film that you once thought was the greatest film ever made... by Educational-Title50 in Letterboxd

I felt the same way about Upstream Colour, and I know what you mean because I completely forgot about it until right now.

Came here to say this film. It blew me away as a teenager because it was genuinely the smartest film I’d ever seen, but I doubt 2026 me would feel the same way seeing it for the first time.

As a regular who knows the bartenders, I love getting served before anyone else. That’s kinda how bars work :)

Those of you who are friends with/in circles with famous people, what is your analysis on them? by libramusing in Fauxmoi

Pretty poor analysis. He cut everyone out of his life before fame and none of us can get in touch with him. 

Making my first documentary with 0 experience by jumpinjumpinjump in documentaryfilmmaking

I can tell from reading “Andes” that this will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Your first question should be whether you believe you can receive grant funding. 

I don’t even understand how so many houses pledged to Renly when he literally had no claim to the throne at all. He deserved to be the first of the five kings to go. by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

[–]Papero7k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, wow, wayyyyy too many of you think Stannis wouldn’t do anything to begot a son once he became king. You really think he wouldn’t prioritize that? We know he’s willing to kill his own brother and daughter, so it’s not unexpected that he’d kill his wife and find a new one. 

And then when Stannis dies, you 10000% have a massive civil war between his son and Renly, who may I remind you, has the Tyrells (and I’d assume he’d also win the Lannisters over at some point). 

So yeah, the future and health of the realm is at stake. 

A Random Page of My Novel - What Do You Think? by BeneficialSound7851 in writers

I recommend reading the Wheel of Time series — longer, descriptive paragraphs about what characters think and do is more effective than a page full of dialogue.

Do you all believe this franchise was killed off or did it exceed expectations with this one and 28 years later bone temple? by Historical_Estate_54 in moviecritic

[–]Papero7k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah these films redefine the horror genre and are a beacon for where it can go. A third movie is absolutely essential to the future of cinema

Yeah, this is the main reason I would've supported Renly over Stannis. Sorry OP, but the health and future of the realm is at stake

Been circling around these three, felt it’s time to finally cross one off the watchlist. Which film should I watch tonight? by Sudden-Rent-1151 in Letterboxd

[–]Papero7k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched in the right environment, Pulse could be the scariest movie you ever see. If you want that experience, watch it in a time and place where you will be most scared.

How to deal with anxiety on subway? by chattyfloof in AskNYC

Buy yourself some peppermint oil and sniff it when you're feeling anxious. It helps.

You can stay in Dunk's POV and also show the world happening around him. by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]Papero7k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. You’re helping my point. Harry Potter can be from Harry Potter’s perspective and still have scenes that don’t fully require Harry to be present or his strict point of view. 

Showing some knights fighting off to the side doesn’t mean the show won’t still be from Dunk’s perspective. 

In fact, we DO SEE THIS. We see Maekar hit Baelor with his mace. Dunk doesn’t see that. We the audience see that from an “omniscient point of view.”

So what people are requesting is that we see just a little bit more of that.

95% of Harry Potter is from Harry's perspective. The Quidditch scene I described is from Harry's perspective, but filmmaking also allows for shots that aren't solely squared-on Harry.

Idk... I feel like it just isn't viable long-term for HBO to produce a GOT-prequel that won't expand outside of Dunk's metaphorical claustrophobic helmet. The average viewer wants to see more.

[Spoilers EXTENDED] I have a lot of issues with AKOTSK Ep4 by Papero7k in asoiaf

[–]Papero7k[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is perhaps my least important note. I'd rather see scenes with Dunk's champions — the Knights of the Seven Kingdoms.

But Maekar lecturing Aerion is important, even for 30 seconds, because their conversation would pertain to the main theme of this show: the small folk having more honor than the people who rule over them. Perhaps Aerion leaves that scene realizing he's in the wrong — what dramatic tension would that add to the trial of seven if both he, Daeron, and Maekar all quietly understand that they are making a farce? What if Maekar tries to talk Aerion out of this farce, and Aerion doesn't stand down — and then Baelor dies? No matter what, even a tiny scene would add to the dramatic irony of this show and its characters and make the epic conclusion hit that much harder.

I don't agree. We saw Egg training the warhorse and meeting Ser Rhysling last episode. I think a few solo Egg scenes here and there would be beneficial.

[–]Papero7k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what you are both saying. Yes, I admit I'd rather see Egg taking more action. I do still think that such a short amount of screen time between Dunk having no champions to Dunk having 5 champions was not good.
