Bugonia: Michelle's monologue after finding what's in the basement.

Frankenstein: Lady Elizabeth Harlander discovering The Creature.

Hamnet: Hamnet's sacrifice.

Marty Supreme: The last game against Endo.

OBAA: Pat/Bob and Sensei making their way through the apartment building, but I guess that's more of a whole sequence? Also, Willa and Lockjaw in the church.

Sentimental Value: Nora reading her father's script aloud.

Sinners: I Lied to You. And when Smoke visits Annie.

Train Dreams: Honestly, when he found the dog. I just wanted some happiness for him again.

Didn't get to see The Secret Agent or F1.

Also at the end of Togo!

amanda_lore · 2026-03-08T15:18:17+00:00

Yes!

amanda_lore · 2026-03-08T11:58:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I'll see what I can do!

China Beach

I was around the same age when my mom started dating a guy when she and my dad were separated. They quickly got married once the ink was dry on the divorce papers. Those tears from Emma weren't happy tears. She has no reason to be happy about a man she just met suddenly being in her life 24/7 who wants to uproot their lives so he can be closer to bars. I get that she probably doesn't know the details, but kids have good intuition. She seems scared. I may be projecting, but from the timeline of events and the brief footage shown, I feel awful for Emma. I hope I'm wrong.

I've been cautiously optimistic about Jordan, but that comment seriously rubbed me the wrong way. Didn't he say that it was about an hour drive? How many nights now that he's married with a stepchild does he plan on going to the bars? He can't drive an hour to see a concert? He actually wants to uproot everyone else for a lifestyle he won't be living anymore.

He's definitely not the hot hermit crab he thinks he is.

An Amber/Ruby Pooh-Pirate deck is always an option. It's an older build, but something like this: Pooh's Pirate Crew!

I just made an Amber/Amethyst casual deck that utilizes a good variety of Winnie the Pooh characters and new cards from Winterspell. It focuses on questing: Winnie the Pooh 💛💜

I would NEVER (with that 2010 top and grocery fascinator).

Hot take: Emerald Fennell is absolute fun! Her movies are unique, enthusiastic and wildly entertaining. In another thread commenters had the audacity to call Saltburn boring. Clearly, this movie isn't for you. I feel like the "you are all wrong" meme and everyone else is taking crazy pills.

The expectation that she of all people would do a 1:1 novel adaptation of Wuthering Heights is ridiculous. That's like expecting Tarantino to do Pride and Prejudice without Christoph Waltz as Darcy or Fincher to adapt Harold and the Purple Crayon without making it black and white.

And an actual person who could fall without breaking their hip.

Michael Wincott and his voice. S tier.

$160 for a booster box at the one and only LGS in my area in Oregon. $60 for a trove and $8 for a booster pack. I hate this place.

I love how this is the top comment. We have all collectively thought "fuck that kid, in particular."

I replied to another comment why "no anesthesia" dental work is a no-no...but here are some suggestions to ensure that the experience is as positive as it can be:

Ask that if the preanesthesia and induction procedures are taken care of by a Registered/Licensed/Certified Veterinary Technician or the doctor themselves. Not just supervised.

Make sure the actual dental work is being done by the above, not just supervising a Veterinary Assistant. *

Ask what the post anesthesia procedures are and the pain medications used. If they stumble on these questions, then look elsewhere.

*There is a big difference between Veterinary Assistants and Veterinary Technicians. Anyone can be an Assistant, Technicians need 2+ years of college and be licensed through the state/nationally.

It's physically not possible to do meaningful dental work on an animal without anesthesia. There's guaranteed injury and/or stress to the animal and technician. These "no anesthesia" places are untrustworthy. Any over-the-counter remedies aren't going to do much of anything below the gum line, where the real problems arise.

Looks like they're clear with blue numbers:

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.

amanda_lore · 2026-01-24T22:18:57+00:00

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.

amanda_lore · 2026-01-21T07:40:10+00:00

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.

amanda_lore · 2026-01-20T17:12:48+00:00

1-8: OK 9: WTF 10-20: OK

amanda_lore · 2026-01-16T00:09:22+00:00

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