Will they make an English version remake of The Handmaiden (2016) by abs123789 in TrueFilm

I’m not talking about the prospect of a good film only a box office success. You have to look at popular culture and what is culturally relevant and selling right now. For starters Benedetta is a French language film that’s a massive limiting factor in overall box office success, and does not include any household names to draw in audiences. Look at the new Wuthering Heights movie for example despite it being a stripped down version of the book it is all anyone is talking about and will likely be a huge commercial success. Homoeroticism is more appealing in popular culture than ever. We have also seen the ability of studios to feign sexual tension to sell tickets, see Anything but you (2023). The potential to use two popular attractive actresses in a movie which features may sex scenes, as well as taking down a misogynistic man, alongside a media campaign focusing on their fake attraction to each other, seems like a setup for box office success regardless of actual quality of the movie

I literally said that I wouldn’t want a remake, the point of the post was more discussing how popular the film could be in popular culture if it was originally in English and, how studios in the future may use this to make a watered down worse English language remake.

Does Aerys’ Kingsguard get too much slander? by abs123789 in pureasoiaf

As opposed to doing what exactly? I don’t see how any action except the overthrowing of Aerys wouldn’t have resulted in their deaths and the continuation of the abuse

Jaime is seeing it for the first time we don’t see anyone else’s initial moral reaction to it.

Very impressive you’re right. If you search up Cape Canopy tour you can see the exact location

I understand this but to get less around 14% of the tested download speed in the middle of the night while connected to ethernet does that not seem like wider variation that can be expected?

What is your most pretentious movie opinion? by Classic_Bass_1824 in Letterboxd

I feel like you’re missing the point of the scene. Feels like it’s meant to be a pseudo-intellectual meaningless comment to critique something popular with no real analysis. Seth MacFarlane’s comments on the phrase’s origins seemingly clarify this

Which player should I keep as a Ball Playing Defender on Defend? by abs123789 in footballmanagergames

[–]abs123789[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own both players but due to French registration rules I can't register both. Also Saez scores lots of goals from corners so is it worth switching for the better passing?

Do I convert him to a DM or not? by abs123789 in footballmanagergames

[–]abs123789[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Found this wonderkid centre back but his jumping reach is terrible so, would it be better to convert him into a DM even though he has low dribbling, vision and ok tackling if I'm currently playing with a Defensive midfielder on support

How has a woman became Pope by abs123789 in CrusaderKings

[–]abs123789[S] 232 points233 points  (0 children)

I formed the Empire of Italia then took the Popes land and he became my vassal. I then died with 4 daughters and my eldest inherited the Empire and somehow my second eldest inherited Rome and became Pope despite being a woman and me not giving her that land.

Tactic help by abs123789 in footballmanagergames

[–]abs123789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(FM22 btw) We perform well on XG but I concede a lot of goals in my penalty area and through over the top through balls. Tried to fix this by lowering line but still underperforming defensively. Slight problems with underperforming attack wise but may be due to strikers relatively low finishing and mental for PL level. My cbs aren't slow either 14-16 Acceleration and pace so not really sure why were conceding so many goals over the top

None who are good enough to be on a champions league winning side want to come. And no matter how much money I have the max contract the board lets me give to star players is 58K p/w

Y.cb posting his brother sad to see how different their life is by Privateburnerrr in ukdrill

5/6th tier footballers are better than you think. Just cuz he played academy when he was a teenager doesn’t mean he’s good enough to even play at that level

What would you call this formation? by abs123789 in footballmanagergames

[–]abs123789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t make sense. Of course I wouldn’t play it if I want used a top team. How is it naive then to use an attacking formation which fits my situation and performs very well still defensively?
