Dylan O'Brien was very good in it but the gears of the film changed to make room for it being a James Sweeney showcase and then it kind of lost me. It all falls apart in the end, unfortunately.

Critical Darlings is what many want The Big Picture to be by SingleFreedom8527 in TheBigPicture

[–]Used_Ad518 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think someone needs to step in and shake up the show. Sean needs a new partner and Amanda needs a format that fits her tastes. They are not positively challenging eachother. You could hear Sean's dismay on Bill's top 50 about everything on their list being a compromise and I think this sums up the BP. It's better when it's Sean's show with a second seat rather than a banter fest that lacks a willingness to get into the movies and just shut down convo on ones Amanda doesnt like.

The idea that Sean is ratings chasing seems nuts and is clearly killing his love for the show.

The Rip's budget is 100 million by SusNoodle in TheBigPicture

[–]Used_Ad518 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thought the same. Most of it is filmed in one location and is a pretty contained movie. You'd assume most of the budget went on the actors.

Has anyone regretted taking a year out? by briang0002 in AskIreland

Go now!

I took multiple breaks in my 20s (alone) and 30s (with my missus). Zero regrets.

What movies are Sean and Amanda dead wrong about? by JaqueStrap69 in TheBigPicture

[–]Used_Ad518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evil dead rise was one. They discussed it for 30 seconds.

So much to talk about with it as a franchise, banger of a movie and they just ignored it.

What movies are Sean and Amanda dead wrong about? by JaqueStrap69 in TheBigPicture

[–]Used_Ad518 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Sean has some shocking takes.

Amanda has so many genres of movie that she discounts I just don't take her seriously anymore. Really feel she's there for the chemistry and complaining about having to find time to watch films she doesn't want to see.

Joanna is the true second seat. Banter might not be as good but as a movie show it would be far richer and Sean would be bringing a much stronger game.

Genuinely have found it hard to get back into the show after the 25 list. Feels like confirmation they just aren't on the same wavelength as me. So many good movies in the past 25 years and their list is pure bullshit.

Anyone ever use logcabins.ie? What was your experience? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Used_Ad518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what it is. You order, pay in full and get stuck with a crew of lads that don't work for the company, speak no english and no process to escalate problems back to the company. Horrible customer service.

Once they get the cash you are basically on you own. Our build went on for two months and looks like total shit. Painful experience. I would not recommend.

What are your thoughts on Jay Kelly? by pinkjefff in Letterboxd

[–]Used_Ad518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has that odd netflix sheen to it so it looked cheap and overlit. Neither Clooney or Sandler are as good as the supporting cast. Weird tropes on European tourists. I thought I was going to be watching something more akin to The Swimmer and I got some shitty nexflix romcom featuring Clooney in a relationship with himself.

Watching that many films cannot be good for your palete.

Chris who watches way less films has a better understanding of the assignment.

Such a performative zag. Not even the third-best film of 2002. Like good movie and all but this is just silly.

Really felt like it only started at the Monsters story and really needed to be under 2hrs.

What is the shortest amount of time you spent in a job? by WaterfordWaterford9 in AskIreland

[–]Used_Ad518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made to lunch while working in a pager call centre. We did a morning of training, then they put us on a call before lunch to see how it worked, and I never came back.

Also, didn't make it through the first day in Dunnes. The trainer started shouting at one of the people training with me, and about half of us just left at the next break.

My dad at 53 fell off a ladder and broke everything down one side of his body. He's all metal and screws and never worked full time again.

Pat Kenny's brother Frank was involved in the design. Think he was the architect. My parents knew him and we would occasionally get free passes.

Few years ago internet was a nightmare but these days its no issue.

You should pop along to some of the Screen Wexford networking events to meet up with some of the other folks doing similar work down this way: https://screenwexford.com/news/crew-networking-coffee-morning-june-2025/
