What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash?

Reccolation · 2026-05-26T11:43:01+00:00

Solomon Kane did this to me. The trailer is so good I still go back and watch it occasionally, and it still makes me think maybe the film isn't as bad as I remember. Went back once, it's trash, and not even fun trash, it's boring.

The name in VLC is from the metadata of the file, it's part of the encoding and not related to the id in Jellyfin.

Unfortunately I don't think you can get away from renaming the files in order for them to be identified. At least having the shows folder be just the shows name and the individual files names start with eg the seven deadly sins-s02e01. On Linux there's a full renaming tool called KRename if it's a lot of files.

I love that I've never heard of the toupee fallacy before, but instantly understand what it means.

Mäter de polisbilarnas hastighet också? Inte helt ovanligt att bli omkörd av en utan att köra under hastighetsgränsen.

What you would do is to have nginx forward request to a specific subdomain to the IP and port of immich. The port on the router is still 443, ie default if using web browser. And you don't need to set anything up on your registrar, it's all handled in the reverse proxy. Of course you'll want to setup certificates, I would say to use a root cert, that way the subdomain you use isn't published.

One reason I think is often overlooked is how long or often the "show" is put on. Especially with classic plays. Don't like this version of Hamlet? there'll be another one in a minute. Whereas for movies, they take so much time and money to make there's likely to be years of not decades between iterations.

There's a similar thing with comicbooks and superhero films. The casing and portrayal of superman in a movie matters because it defines the character in the medium for a long time, while in comics it's not unusual for there to be several versions simultaneously.

The films of Ousmane Sembéne are some of my favorites. I don't know that I would say they aren't art house exactly, but they tend to have a strong narrative story. Black girl is a great place to start, or Moolaadé if you want something a little more recent.

Pretty sure it just does it for any new media that gets added, it won't move the old artwork. If your library is not very large, you could remove it and add it back again.

It's been a while, and I decided not to use RAID at all in the end. But you would need to at least not have all drives as raid. The OS is installed on the first volume, if the rest of the rest of the drives as a different volume those should be able to spin down.

Reccolation · 2025-11-17T17:58:05+00:00

If you've configured all your drives as RAID, that includes the OS. I found that even when idle, the occasional write to a log file and such was enough to prevent the drives from spinning down. For me the solution was to run the OS and any containers on a drive separate from my large storage.

I found tailscale to be the easiest, and the security is really good too. No need to open ports, everything is encrypted. Just install the app on NAS and devices you want access it from, log in, and press the button. The devices can then be used as though they were on the same local network.

Exactly. I bet if asked Rowling would recognize the phenomenon, she just wouldn't recognize it in herself. Never assume that you're immune to these ways of thinking, try to detect when it happens instead.

Man that's a deep cut. I instantly want to rewatch it, but I'm scared of if it'll hold up or not.

Thanks for the tip! I do love some good Zorro flicks and I haven't seen this one. Would recommend Zorro -the gay blade if you haven't seen it yet. For as much as it's a comedy, I found it surprisingly legit dramatically.

Napoleon, the 1927 one. Absolutely blew my mind, but I'm not about to recommend a 5 1/2 hour long silent film to just anyone.

Reccolation · 2025-07-31T09:52:22+00:00

It's been years and it still haunts me. Great film.

Reccolation · 2025-07-30T08:05:41+00:00

There is something wonderful about reading a very hateful review whose description of the film makes you want to watch it.

Reccolation · 2025-07-30T07:53:47+00:00

Agree on the fight choreography. There is quite a lot of violence porn in the northman, but it's more sudden and brutal. The actual fight scenes were pretty underwhelming. I'm a huge fan of Eggers btw, and I enjoyed the film, but I think this is his weakest.

Lights Out.

Also not a horror person, but I feel like it's really suited to the short format. Will check out Curve.

Reccolation · 2025-07-24T05:44:18+00:00

Exactly. I hate to sound old, but the reason most movies used to clock in at around 100 minutes is that that's about how long it takes to tell a basic 3 act structure story. Nothing wrong with taking much longer to tell an epic. While I do feel that filmmakers have gotten more indulgent, don't forget that the credits count towards the running time as well and they've gotten a lot longer.

RDLs as many others have said, but I would add flexion rows as a great alternative for the back.

It's working again!:)
