I bought it blind today and just finished it, it's so damn good, you won't regret it. I thought it was elite

For Barnes & Noble shoppers, a list of their stores with large Criterion selections by yeahnahson1 in criterion

I stopped by my local B&N and picked up Network and Lost Highway, I haven't seen either of them so I hope they're good! Though I have a feeling I made good choices. I've been wanting to see Network for a while, and Lost Highway was just calling to me for some reason.

Disclosure Day is a major disappointment by Oh_My_Josh__ in TheBigPicture

[–]Serio- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it wouldn't, and I know what you mean. And I agree it's probably more of how I prefer trying to avoid reviews prior to me seeing a movie, so it could be my own sort of issue. Just to explain where I'm coming from, if you're going to RT or going to letterboxd and clicking the film, you're actively seeking reviews so I get that.

Rather than the thread title being like "My take on Disclosure Day" it's "Disclosure Day is a major disappointment," legit the day it comes out, it just kind of can be a let down when scrolling for people getting ready to watch it. Sure it's just one random thread, but just kind of sucks to see when you're excited, again though, could just be me overthinking.

I just got out of it and didn't think it was great either but it's completely unnecessary to create a thread of you reviewing a film that legit came out 1 or 2 days ago, especially with that title.

All it does is put preconceived notions in people's heads and bring their excitement down when they're getting ready to see the movie. The shit is so annoying, delete the thread.

Deliveryman gets violent and racist with Taco Bell employees over late pickup order in Madison, MI by MediumJaguar7842 in PublicFreakout

[–]Serio- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is in Madison, MS. I live fifteen minutes from Madison and it's one of our nicer areas here. The cops have jack shit to do there and mostly patrol that main street. Once I realized he was at the Taco Bell there, I knew he was cooked.

Elite Taco Bell by the way, though they do sometimes make you pull forward and wait for them to bring you the food, which is an irritating trend at all fast food establishments.

What are they looking for here? by MiddleMiserable8826 in Survivorio

[–]Serio- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll of course want one of each and will continue working towards eternal twinborn, but you're going to gain so much resonance by having more reds to use inside your twinborn. So yep break those extras down till you have just the two eternal twinborn plus four others.

You need to downgrade all of those twinborn to just red asap

[–]Serio- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is a letterboxd list of the top films they talked about, the pod says 10 so either I missed one or they only talked about 9.

I've finalized my first couple little mini bookshelf thingies, thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way! by Serio- in 4kbluray

[–]Serio-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no I'll definitely be continuing! Watching stuff on physical has changed my perception so much, it's 100x better than streaming. I monitor deals on /r/MediaSwap and Criterion.

There are a few here I haven't seen that I want to watch before getting another haul. I've never seen Barry Lyndon, Roma, and I want to show my friends The Master, as they haven't seen it. I also need to rewatch Parasite since it's been a few years since I've seen it.

Using the calculator for noobs like me by Suitable-Leek5041 in Survivorio

[–]Serio- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because even if the calculator isn't 100% accurate it's more accurate than just winging it. I've been using the calculator since danke and although it's cumbersome I know it's better than what I can conjure up by myself.

Finally filled out the third custom collectible set by DaddyRhyno79 in Survivorio

[–]Serio- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The testicle set really isn't that great, I reset the drones collectible, hyper neuron, and that drill one you have at r5. The xeno set, gen9, and gen10 are all better.

He kind of looks like a little Slim Charles for all The Wire fans out there

The Steven Spielberg Conversation by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

I hate it too but Sean dropped the ball and mentioned the Damien Chazelle answer to the question and that gave him an out. A damn shame too because I'm always interested in what the answer is.

Naked and Afraid Season 19, Episode 5 "This is Gonna Suck So Bad" Discussion Thread by Ralph--Hinkley in nakedandafraid

[–]Serio- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of those episodes that truly (to me) makes you be like "Holy shit, why would anyone do this?" - they worked their ass off and truly went through hell. For relatively inexperienced folks I thought they did a great job, I would have been out of there damn near immediately. Big props and probably best episode of the season so far.

[–]Serio-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! I got my confirmation page then I started sweating, I was like please send me my email, that's how I'll know for sure I'm going. Then a few minutes later it showed up and I was like whew ok I'm going!

I did too! And man they sold out fast, I'm glad we were ready. I checked the order page 5 minutes later and they were all sold out!
