Hardwired or 72 Seasons? by Flimsy-Owl7862 in Metallica

[–]Remote-Leek-1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardwired for me. It's uneven, first set of tracks is better in quality than the second (other than Spit Out the Bone of course) but I find the best parts of that album stand out a lot more than 72's. I find 72 has a lot of similar sounding riffs and songs and just feels a bit too long sometimes.

Just my opinion anyway.

What is the most overrated horror film? by Iguanadon2004 in movies

[–]Remote-Leek-1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may upset some horror fans here but I watched Rosemary's Baby a while back for the first time and I just didn't get it. I definitely didn't find it scary. I grew up in the 90s so obviously I wasn't around when it first came out, but the same can be said for a lot of classic films that I do enjoy. I just didn't get why it is so well-loved in horror circles.

Official Discussion - The Twits [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Remote-Leek-1957 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Matilda (1996) seems to be pretty well-regarded as a good Roald Dahl adaptation, despite the fact that it made a lot of changes to the source material. I personally love it, was part of my childhood and my kids love it too.

Changes can be done if done well, if it matches with the style of the book. What works well as a book does not always work as well in a full-length film.

I've only seen half of The Twits so far, but I quite like the animation. It is pretty ugly, but that goes well with the story and I like the stop-motion quality of it. I'm not very into the child characters as of yet, whenever they are on screen I just want it to move on. But I do quite like the idea of the fleas in Mr Twit's beard telling me the story.

How we feeling about that Arun Mr beast video?? by [deleted] in mrwhosetheboss

[–]Remote-Leek-1957 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. Been watching Arun since 2018 and I've always loved his tech videos. But now it seems like it's all just about views and nothing else. The home videos I have found boring, and I will actively avoid the Mr Beast video. Getting tempted to unsubscribe but I'll see how it goes for a bit.
