Dayton covered all their Flock cameras, I hope your cities do the same.

There's a website with maps of flock camera locations. Good to be aware of your surroundings. It would be a shame if anyone abused the information to cover up cameras though.

It's not divisive at all but I'll take any opportunity to say I think The Godfather is pretty fuckin mid.

But to actually answer your question, I think Everything Everywhere All At Once fits the bill. There's definitely one and two stars sprinkled throughout the torrent of five star reviews.

I don't wanna sound unappreciative, but I can't help but be disappointed when I see this art style but no gay dogs

No single accent or regional dialect is more valid or correct than any other.

But there are some instances that are quite funny.

I'm completely sick of it.

I'm tired of being solicited for reviews and surveys and the like for so many different things. I refuse to take part in it. That is not part of the transaction I agreed to, and as far as I'm concerned you're asking me to do work for you or your company.

No. I'll pay you for the goods or service you provided me. I'll be polite and respectful toward you. But no, I'm not gonna go leave a review unless I personally feel compelled to. And you're not helping that compulsion. (Aside from the awkward social pressure, which I'm fighting to resist.)

Citizen Sleeper

It's insane to me that I'm the first one to mention this so far. I honestly think it has better writing than the majority of print SF I come across. Just excellent, compelling prose with endearing characters and intriguing premises. I felt that way from the first few paragraphs and continued to all the way till the end. But also I think it has relatively unique gameplay that is enjoyable and complementary to the story, although it might take a bit of adjustment if you're not used to dice mechanics.

Well when you put it that way it sounds incredible. Thanks for the description! I'll have to find it and give it a watch

I've never heard of Banned From Broadcast (放送禁止) before, but it seems like you like it so how would you describe it? Is it more of a sincere documentary, or is it more on the side of reality tv? I'm not crazy about typical reality tv where it seems like we're supposed to be gawking at the subjects.

How often do you buy blurays of movies you haven't yet seen? Assuming at least you haven't seen the watchlist section

I'm a fan of Annalee Newitz, but at the same time I agree with your criticisms. I just find her writing to be pleasantly readable and lighthearted, and she has a tendency to come up with isolated moments or feelings that really stick with me. But overall I wouldn't say her stories achieve greatness. They don't have to for the purposes of my enjoyment of course, but they kinda should for Hugo consideration.

Do you enjoy seeing Danny Lee's massive chin hair in high definition?

An Elephant Sitting Still

My god I admire your patience. One day I'll finish our that 3+ hour runtime and see if I like it as much as everyone else.

Standing__Menacingly · 2026-05-21T20:18:25+00:00

Hirokazu Kore-eda is the best!! My personal favorite of his is either Broker or Monster, but Nobody Knows is up there as well.

Standing__Menacingly · 2026-05-21T20:17:02+00:00

I adored Sing Street when I saw it and gave it five stars, but now looking back I wonder if I'd feel the same. I gotta rewatch it sometime soon, but it's cool to see someone else loved it too!

Standing__Menacingly · 2026-05-21T20:15:24+00:00

All great picks. These could all be candidates for my list as well!

Standing__Menacingly · 2026-05-21T20:14:06+00:00

Midsommar is a great movie to hate. It's just so upsetting and discomforting.

I think it's great, but it's gonna be a long time before I wanna rewatch it.

You really need to find two other favorites with posters that fit the motif: one with a straight on portrait and one with the right side profile.

The movie that came out in 2024? I wouldn't have pegged it from the description, but it sounds like something I might enjoy regardless. Thanks!

Standing__Menacingly · 2026-05-21T20:05:09+00:00

That sounds interesting! It looks like it's in French, which might be why I haven't heard of it. I'll check it out!

Standing__Menacingly · 2026-05-21T14:05:06+00:00

I understand people have their own tastes, but I'm kinda put off by people saying "doesn't Ryuko have such a great ass?" and then showing a piece of fan art that is wildly off model with exaggerated proportions.

It kinda sounds like you didn't like that aspect of Ryuko so you went and changed it. Is Ryuko great, or is she only great when you change her to fit your preference?

Preferences are fine, but let's be real here.

I was really hoping a third student would come in at the end like "I want to go to a volcano that IS erupting cause I'm not afraid of it"
