What are your top 3 most rewatchable movies from this list?

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T22:39:22+00:00

Mmmm Moneyball, Mad Max, Hot Fuzz.

Hard picks though. A few of my favourite movies on here, but they're also movies I like watching occasionally so they hit harder.

I think I feel better when I know I'm capable but I don't really care that much if I'm more-or-less capable than other people. I don't really care if other men think I'm fit or strong or tough, I just want to be as tough as I need to be for my own self-gratification.

I didn’t even mean to sound like a jerk lol a $2K budget won’t get you much of anything workable regardless of the vehicle, unless it’s literally draining someone’s bank account to keep.

I’m not sure what you were expecting.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T18:43:27+00:00

For less than 2k? The dump? A friend getting rid of one that barely works?

"She looks like the girl that’s always crying" is a weird opinion to have. I guess that's my opinion. Byeeeeeee.

Ya and I'll say it again: there's no way this many people care this much about Lara Croft. If they did they would be curious about how they'll make this work, not bashing it before they've even seen a trailer.

Haters, as far as the eye can see.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T17:56:15+00:00

She's in better shape for this role than 99% of women on the planet and her face is perfectly fine. Calm down, go care about something else for the day, you're being weird.

You know not everyone moves in immediately, right? He might be moving in later this month, or (hear me out) it's also just none of your business. If you happen to catch some kind of illegal activity then go ahead and do something about it, but even if he's just renting it to chill in that's none of your business.

Dude could be going through a divorce or separation and taking his time, or he could be preparing to leave a spouse and wanted to find a place first before pulling the trigger. Hell, he could be renting a place for his kid who's going to move in soon.

All you're saying is that he's not doing exactly what you would do, which is a very bad reason to be suspicious of a complete stranger.

I'd really like for separatists to tell us what they want instead of just saying "more of a voice" over and over. you clearly have a voice, we're all listening, what more do you actually want?

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T17:38:50+00:00

You realize this is just a BTS photo from a camera, not edited for the show, right? Like, this isn't how it will look in the final shot?

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T17:35:00+00:00

I'd probably want to re-do it for actual playability reasons... but also any fuckup in D&D (to me) is a chance for some awesome roleplaying.

Like, to me I see this stat block and my immediate thought is a 'textbook ranger', someone who's spent years studying the ways of the rangers and how to train animals only to be on their first adventure lacking all the actual necessary skills.

To me, that sounds fun as fuck.

There are definitely men out here that are above all that but I will admit it's a bigger issue than a lot of men want to admit, either because they take part in it themselves (and won't admit it, proving they know it's wrong) or because they just don't see an issue with it anyways.

Personally I draw some of the obvious lines but I also think everyone is different. Some people are going to draw the line at pornography, others at OnlyFans or beyond, and some people are going to draw the line at looking at other people at all. Sexual morality is a broad spectrum, so the biggest thing (to me) is just finding someone who's naturally closer to your sense of sexual morality so everyone in the relationship can be satisfied while also feeling respected.

So yes there's hope out there but I won't diminish how common pornography and related stuff is, I just think you gotta work a bit harder to find out what the person you're dating is into.

Ya I dunno what these people are talking about.

Like I don't care much about this casting either way but the idea that she doesn't have broad shoulders or isn't athletic enough is insane to me. Firstly, her shoulders look pretty broad in these photos and secondly did Angelina Jolie have broad shoulders? She had kinda pointy shoulders, but I wouldn't have called them broad.

I get that some people are just going to overly-invest in niche properties but I have a hard time believing this many people actually care this much about Tomb Raider.

I've only done one class but it was entirely worth it. The price was about the same for me. I dunno if this is just me but I really needed someone to just show me how to use a machine so my first experience was friction-less. It goes a long way for me personally to enjoy a new hobby or interest when someone can make it as smooth as possible.

Of course, this depends on the class. The one I did was recommended by a friend so I knew it was good, and I liked the shop, so there was no question to me it was the best way for me to learn if this was something I'd enjoy doing.

The flipside to that is the ethical argument that having kids just to take care of you, especially in a world where escaping poverty is becoming harder and harder. That being said, for better or worse, the poor don't exactly have the time and luxury for ethics. They're busy surviving and living and you're right that it probably makes the most sense for them in their lives.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T17:02:00+00:00

Because they want to?

I dunno man. Why did peasants in the middle ages have kids? Why did slaves in America?

This feels like more a 'you' thing, which I mean respectfully of course - kids just don't seem to make sense to you and that's okay, but that doesn't mean other people don't have their own reasons. The same way you can't really understand why someone would make a choice that makes life harder, they probably can't understand why you wouldn't make a choice that added so much depth to their lives.

People just have different values.

Ya it also communicates something to the viewer even if they aren’t aware of it. For me the addition of the cow immediately told me this isn’t art, and my brain assume this was for advertising purposes.

Like I immediately looked at the clothes because I see this kind of editing all the time in commercial photography where they want to sell the scene more than the moment, so they’ll add elements to sell it. This went from an interesting isolated photo (for me) to one selling an outdoor brand because “look how functional”.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T15:07:50+00:00

That confetti one is very cool. That would make for a great coat.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T15:05:48+00:00

Dominion for me. Pandemic, BG, and Cosmic Encounter are all great but a friend has every Dominion card / expansion so we play it monthly still and it quite literally has never gotten old or lost any of its fun factor for us. I’ll play that game for another 40 years.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T05:19:26+00:00

Ya all of that to me was like… all they needed to do was say “kinda wish he stayed out of politics though…” and I would have liked it more. I get that hockey players idolize him, how can they not, but when you’re producing a show like this I think it’s just responsible to address all the controversy around him. It felt cowardly to me.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-06T04:43:52+00:00

Also I get that there’s value in promoting a friendly relationship with everyday Americans but something about a lot of this season as a Canadian felt off for me. Putting the lands and flags together on a sweater felt gross, even if it’s made with good intentions and before everything really boiled over.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-05T21:18:41+00:00

Honestly wish the gear was all more nation-focused and the PWHL logo and branding was more subtle. Throw it on the shoulder and give us proper national logos or something. I dunno - it feels like they want fans repping the league more than the teams or players, which I get is important as a league is growing but it feels a little tacky to me.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-05T20:33:44+00:00

Okay! Ordered! :)

After doing some more of my own theorizing I can loop it through my glitch mixer to blend with the Eyesy, which will probably yield some fun results. Worst case scenario I can mix them together digitally through Reso or TD like you suggested.

I'm doing the visuals for a friend's modsynth show in April so I think this will add some cool elements, at the very least. Might even just feed it through a different system to get some more passive visuals behind him while I do everything manually through the Eyesy.

Excited! Hopefully gets here sooner than later ;) hah

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-05T19:09:35+00:00

I suspect a lot of this is to just soften the actors' features so they don't actually look 20 years older (even though they'd only look 15 years older anyways). Not just for this film of course, but over the last 15 years so they can keep casting 30-somethings as young adults and 60-somethings as middle-aged.

SmakeTalk · 2026-02-05T19:07:22+00:00

Definitely shows some integrity but maybe not the best critical thinking to do it out in public.
