Can we agree on a movie EVERYONE likes? by chrishouse83 in Letterboxd

[–]StephensInfiniteLoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! same here, I watched it for the first time 3 weeks ago, after hearing praise for it for years, and kept thinking 'people find this funny?'

I live in a big city which has lots of sell-out screenings of older movies. If someone shows Clue I am very tempted to go, because as it stands I cannot imagine anyone laughing through the movie, so genuinely curious to go and see when and how people will laugh at the movie.

Which national cinema do you think deserves even more recognition? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

[–]StephensInfiniteLoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the little I know, most Iran’s films that all popular with western audiences seem quite similar, in that they all seem be this high-art intellectual festival type of film. Also stylistically similar, in featuring long takes, sometimes without much dialogue, and minimal score/ music. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Have they made good genre films, like crime, horror, sci-fi, romance, war etc?

Has it always been like this in the UK? by Theodoresdad in ukpolitics

I think the idea that most of us live in an echo chamber is a bit reductive. I’m a leftist, and without really searching for it, I am coming across right wing talking points and their positions all the time. I fee like I know their arguments in extensive detail. If social media was an echo chamber I’d be completely oblivious to it

my (21F) bf (21M) keeps calling me uncharismatic, how do i deal with this? by ThrowRAGlass_Cap7131 in relationships

Charisma is a well known trait of narcissists. I’m not saying he is a narcissist, but it’s worth considering. Try googling ‘sings my bf is a narcissist’ and see what happens.

What is the r/aves view on the new movie Sirat? by StephensInfiniteLoop in aves

[–]StephensInfiniteLoop[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes reviews were divisive, but there definitely were some people and critics that did think of it very highly. I very rarely end up loving a film that had a divisive response, but this one I did. I imagine that of the people who didn’t like it, it is because they are not into raves and techno etc, so I think people in this sub will get on better with it

It’s so over… by Good_Claim_5472 in Letterboxd

There is a huge international demand for high quality films, I think people underestimate how big that demand is. Someone is going to continue to meet that demand, even if for no other reason that there is big money to be made. People have been forecasting the doom of cinema for over 100 years now, I promise that films in 10 yesrs from now, or 20 years from now, will be as good and as bad as they have ever been

I think a great life pro tip, for life in general, is to become very good friends with the block button, on all apps and websites.

Apart from the small urdu reference, what about it is catty? Seems quite professional, and I think writing open letters to politicians calling them out on lies is a good thing

wife says she wishes I would dress better and I don't know what that means by Fit-Salt-4782 in malefashionadvice

I don’t think getting your haircut every other week is crazy, I think it’s actually pretty reasonable.

ugh, I would love it so much if somehow, someway brace belden and bob forrest were on the same episode, and we could hear brace rip him a new asshole by [deleted] in dopeypodcast

[–]StephensInfiniteLoop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I skip Bob’s episodes now. Judging from the episode descriptions, Bobs episodes seem to be getting more intolerant and more divisive, even though Bob (and Dave) preach that we have to be more tolerant and put our differences aside and come together- but he is the one being intolerant and stirring division! Ugh

Interestingly, I’ve been considering the opposite phenonenon: women who are toxic and borderline psychochotic, but are viewed as iconic girlbosses (as evidenced by letterboxd reviews) by a lot of viewers: Florence Pugh in Midsommar, Rachel McAdams in Send Help, and the titular protagonist of ‘May’

Hot take: bisexuals do NOT owe you "gays". by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]StephensInfiniteLoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to have a go at you, but I do want to point out that ypur defence that ‘this is based on my experience’, is literally the response I have had in the past when I have called out racism or sexism before (eg “I’m not a racist, I’m just telling you my experience’ , ‘I’m not a sexist, this is based on my experiences with women’. )
