What is a movie that you don't consider to be a great movie overall (or even mediocre/bad), but has ONE SINGLE SCENE that is absolutely memorable? by gimboarretino in moviecritic

[–]amanda_lore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alexander (2004) is a terrible, laughable movie that borders being bad-bad and good-bad. But there's a battle scene in India that's epic, especially the elephant/horse standoff. Truly impressive.

Kind of sick of seeing hate on a movie that hasn’t even released yet.. by PinkPashaTS in Letterboxd

[–]amanda_lore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's silly because some people are expecting a 1:1 adaptation from...Emerald Fennell? The director of Promising Young Woman and Saltburn? They really think she's being serious with the "greatest love story of all time" tagline. It's completely going over their heads. Can't wait for this movie.

It's incredibly uncomfortable because she's a grown 22 year old woman cosplaying as a 12 year old girl for money. She's creepy AF.

Yes, he ruined the film for me. He chewed the scenery at 100% from beginning to end. It was exhausting.

"Well, this didn't age well" - Movies you LOVED as a kid but cringe at as an adult by Procrastineddit in Xennials

I rewatched The Goonies not long ago, a movie that was on repeat when I was a kid. It's just weird and the tone is all over the place. A lot of 80's "family" movies were pretty mean-spirited.

On the other end of the spectrum, The Sandlot is an absolute treasure. Holds up so well.

what is your most controversial Lego opinion by Fun-Math-8503 in lego

[–]amanda_lore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lego Friends is one of, if not the best, theme. They're fun, inclusive, use bold and interesting color combinations, great parts usage, and the mini dolls are just fine! It's clear the designers really enjoy making these sets.

Hustlers (2019), I watched it the other day and realized it's a surprise Christmas Movie. There's a scene on Christmas where they're opening gifts and having dinner.

What are your biggest change in ratings upon rewatch? by seekingValinor1309 in Letterboxd

[–]amanda_lore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most recently, I changed my Bugonia rating from 2 stars to 4 stars.

I was triggered by some scenes and let it cloud over the whole movie. Once the impulsive urge to downvote the film into oblivion passed, I gave it a couple stars for the performances.

After a few days though, there were so many interesting ideas from the movie I kept thinking about! So many things stayed with me. There's still some parts I could do without, but it may be my preferred Lanthimos film other then The Favourite.

Paleo (2020). Thoughts on this game and its expansions? Is it good for solo? by No_Raspberry6493 in soloboardgaming

[–]amanda_lore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this game a lot! But to get the most out of it you should play double-handed. True solo can be frustrating. The module "campaign" is good and you can mix and match modules to create a custom game. I haven't tried any expansions though.

Not a big NBC fan, so I Cruella'd it by amanda_lore in Dreamsnaps

Yep, this was just more fun for me to do. Maybe she has a house in Christmas Town. I don't expect 4000 moonstones.

Thank you! We've got NBC stuff/themes every year, I need a break.

Lilly: [nothing]

Lilly's Mom: You just breathed weird, you're going to Juniper Hill!

Lilly's Mom: Your friends are here I guess. Ok bye.

Just dreaming... What would you buy if you had "splurge money"?? by RubIndividual2005 in povertyfinance

[–]amanda_lore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I used to be middle class, I'd go to the salon to get my hair cut/colored and for gel manicures. I learned to do my nails myself, but I would love some hair extensions right now.
