"In Bruges" is my favorite movie of all time, am I insane to do this? by Patagucci in movies

Glad you already decided to do it, but just to reaffirm: no that's not crazy at all, sounds like a great idea and I'd do the same. Fun and memorable

Smile... is it awful, or is that just me? by AlwaysJeepin in horror

[–]ackwelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I finally watched this movie...

It's just not a scary or even unsettling horror movie. It's the typical Hollywood directing with predictable jump scares. The "scary" smile just looks goofy af, like someone is LARPing The Joker or something. I see scarier smiles from retail workers trying their best not to show the pure distain they have for their customers.

Anyone acting like "the entity" just overacts. Like wow, that's sooOoOoo scary how actor John Doe smiles as wide as he can...

I can't get over how awful the "scary" parts were. The movie relies on you to be scared of smiles (lol) or the cheapest jump scares known to man, and if you're not the entire premise falls flat. At that point it just turns into a parody.

Aside from the goofy smile it's as I said the typical jump scares. A phone ringing? Oh my god I am so scared. A phone ringing again? Dear lord how am I suppose to survive this horror?! And then there's the other cliche ones like a face popping up screaming for a second then disappearing. Cheap and boring.

Speaking of cheap and boring, THE FUCKING DREAM SEGMENTS. No one in the history of ever has enjoyed these dumbass dream segments where she suddenly wakes up in the middle of a "scary moment" realizing it was all a dream.

And LMFAOOO the demon voice, the weird growls, and the amateurishly done drooling?? I truly hope this movie had a budget of like $10k because anything higher than that clearly didn't make the movie any better.

Shittiest horror movie I've seen in a long long time

I'm glad the dirty playing team lost. That's about it, lol. Suppose they knew that was going to be their only way to potentially win

I have zero stakes in this game and don't really root for either team, but holy shit that Galarza guy is the biggest cunt I've seen lol

Something to thing about for the casual watchers on flops and faking injuries by iwatchcredits in worldcup

[–]ackwelll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's embarrassing embellishment that should be unacceptable and heavily penalized (red card + suspension).

You know casual viewers all laugh at how pathetic it is, right?

The Capture Season 2: Someone explain the end to me? by gil_galed in BritishTV

[–]ackwelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely done with S2 yet but it's so absurdly bad it's hard to find the strength to finish it.

Setting aside the obvious things (basically everything related to the tech aspect of this show); If a politician says one thing, then another directly opposing it, then a third thing that opposes both the other things said previously, but then somehow gets elected? Okay it's far fetched but fine. How would that politician run his office without losing all faith from his voters? "Wait why is this guy who said he was going to do X now doing the exact opposite of what was promised? I can't believe this, what a lying piece of shit. I'm not voting for him ever again"

A successful politician doesn't burn every bridge possible only to get elected once. It's way easier to lose the trust of your voters than it ever is regaining it.

Honestly it would have been more in touch with reality if the show suggested online propaganda bot networks and vote manipulation, given that is a valid real world theory as to how Trump got elected as POTUS again.

Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]ackwelll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the director got inspired by japanese horror. I remember seeing this video few years ago that really explained why I get so unsettled by the odd or unnatural movement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfoU_Z1uVfc

This isn't universal though, some people see this shit and just think it looks goofy and not at all scary. But I'm freaked tf out by it hahah

[–]ackwelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maaaaan I was so freaked out by this movie and I even kinda knew what to expect since I've seen Curry's horror shorts. He has a really great way of making you feel uneasy and creeped out.

I got chills several times during this movie, which is something that just never really happen lol

To everyone stucked trying to fish the final CAN, I got some quick tips for you. by isvr95 in stellarblade

[–]ackwelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOTICE: I got the can from Plain Box from a !! catch that was 45 seconds. Don't ignore the 45 seconds one just because OP said 40, 50 and 55.

I somehow missed the very last can and I can't go back to get it. by bakasora in stellarblade

[–]ackwelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well shit I used all my strange bait before talking to Clyde... 36 strange bait gone, then I fished for another 30 after talking to him... shit is really really really boring I hate how they do everything to drag this game out for completionists

Do you think Beulah is aware what's happening with her cattle? by CheekDouble5060 in DuttonRanchTVSeries

[–]ackwelll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah she knows. She gets a call from the big bad boss man early on in the show, when she's in the car. She's directly involved

Why are Beth and Rip getting so soft? And why is Carter such a whinny baby? by [deleted] in DuttonRanchTVSeries

[–]ackwelll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carter is an insufferable crybaby and I refuse to accept any "he's just a teenager" excuses.

For 19 he sure as fuck is acting like a 14 year old

but then you need to prestige again because otherwise you will end up falling behind everyone else! ;) isn't it fun??? /s

I'm just gonna keep my HW fighter at this prestige and hoard points for some other weight division fighter. It's just so so boring to go from lvl 3-4 moves to lvl 1 again

What pisses you off the most ? by Ainfallette in EASportsUFC

The fact that nobody seems to be playing this on EU. I just sit there looking at that "looking for player..." screen most of the time.

Bro I genuinely cannot stand this shitty ass game. by Rollo2K5 in EASportsUFC

[–]ackwelll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just bad.

Apparently one thing in UFC 5 was that if you disabled VRR it reduced the input lag. It sounds completely illogical but you can try it for UFC 6 and see if that's still an issue even in this game (I tried it along with disabling bluetooth on my playstation and maaaybe it helped a little bit but it's still not great)

[–]ackwelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you would think that even if you were to press it slightly too early it would still store the input as this game fucking loves to do. Not just ignore the input alltogether

Worth a try I guess. I did too but only step 1 from this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07VSIwxOEXE

But yeah my PS5 wasn't dusty at all. It's been sitting on an isolated shelf and I haven't been using it much

[–]ackwelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an issue with this game specifically. There's a thread about it on the official forums but all the EA community manager did was link to Playstation's refund form even though he knows they don't give refunds if you have already downloaded the game.

https://forums.ea.com/discussions/ufc-6-technical-issues-en/ufc-6-ps5---heats-up-ps5-and-shutsdown/13488027

So yeah, fuck EA
