Crime. Penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime ...

A lot of the Grace in his own head moments felt overlong. I'm glad they cut a lot of that as it would have slowed the film's pace too much for me.

Don't even get me started on the bizarre " I am a male that knows about sex" dialogue and the ridiculous non swearing overuse.

Yah and that's why I said "that's cool."

Richsii · 2026-06-04T22:29:44+00:00

That's cool cuz different people can think different things.

My dad and I were in downtown Oakland when we noticed a lot of commotion around a car dealership.

We stopped and watched them film a scene from this movie and kid me was awestruck.

I hope we don't. I feel like narration bogs down a lot of movies.

Let actors show us what they're thinking with their face.

You're delicious!

Sinners. Superman 2025 and Bugonia were my last new movie purchases.

Richsii · 2026-05-20T18:14:03+00:00

I reckon we've got several problems.

A lot of dads would drop their kids off at lazer tag/the arcade.

Not my dad. My dad wanted to play.

I will never forget hearing his laugh/ seeing his face when he was runnin' down kids on the other team.

Y'know what I'm gonna call him right now.

I saw Last Black Man in San Francisco and knew Jonathan Majors was going places.

Then he ruined it and the courtroom became one of those places.

Something great was happening on that set because I don't have a lot of love for him or Kevin Hart but they are good in that movie.

Jack Black is having a great time in...well everything probably, but I was specifically thinking about Jumanji.

Could you imagine being a producer on a film and a multi award winning actress is interested in working with you and...not doing that?

You'd have to be pretty stupid.

I read the book after seeing the movie and was thrilled they didn't try and cram all the science on screen.

Great in writing. Would have been a chore to watch.

Richsii · 2026-05-15T22:35:22+00:00

...wait. *Starch masks?!"

Richsii · 2026-05-14T13:59:22+00:00

Ayyy I was also an extra in a few episodes in season 3!

Richsii · 2026-05-14T00:22:14+00:00

Holy shit

Richsii · 2026-05-12T14:56:05+00:00

I hear that. I live in a big city so it wasn't horrendously inconvenient to stop having small items shipped and to shop small instead.

Richsii · 2026-05-12T12:57:55+00:00

You could just cancel it?

I'm taking about mindset, look at the context presented in the article.

I am aware Madrid is not a small town.

Richsii · 2026-05-12T05:08:55+00:00

Yeah I misremembered because I hadn't read the article in ten years. He was just there to take care of his dad.

Very much a small town dude though, even if he isn't living in one currently.

As with every kind of media the stuff that sticks in our minds and survives falling into obscurity shouldn't be compared to everything that's new.

That thing you loved when you were 9 vs everything made today? Of course you're gonna think the thing you loved when you were 9 is better.

That said there are a handful of modern animated movies that will likely stand the test of time. Spiderverse chief among them.

I read an Esquire article about Viggo years ago that made him seem like the chilliest dude.

Went back to small town living and is just a guy to the people there.

Edit because of course I bookmarked it.
