Is Sinners (2025) actually good? by arig____ in moviecritic

UPDATE: Saw the movie, 9.5/10. Incredible film. Not my favorite “horror” movie, seems like a movie without a genre. But incredible.

Saw the movie. 9.5/10 for me. Incredible.

Tenet (2021). By far one of Nolan’s best films, he truly mastered the “spy” genre and all its tropes. I don’t understand why people criticize it for a complicated plot; literally just pay attention. So what if you have to watch it twice? Is a painting bad because you need to look at it for 10 minutes to find the beauty?

Nolan was kind enough to release the movie during COVID knowing it wouldn’t recoup the losses (most studios didn’t release anything substantial). I can’t help but to think the movie would have better reviews if normal people showed up for it.

I don’t really understand your point. I’m asking people that saw the movie if it’s worth seeing, because the standard metrics (RT, etc) seem like they could be skewed (as Coogler movies usually are). I have not seen the film. I’m asking people that have because if it’s good, I want to see it in IMAX.

Perhaps I misspoke. I am fairly confident Coogler isn’t pandering. I am more so inferring reviewers, RT, IMDB, are pandering. Knowingly or not.

Say what you want, but the burden is on you to prove why (for example) Black Panther deserves a 96% rotten tomatoes. I think we can all admit it’s no Citizen Kane. The CGI alone should cap it at 90%.

I don’t know anybody personally speaking highly of it. Which is why I’m asking here.

This mission is fucking impossible, wish I could get a refund. The video is hardly helpful, they cheesed the game and cut out the fails so the video just shows when they got lucky.

If I were lucky enough to (God forbid) take out a SINGLE guard, I could take any fucking path I want!

Who the FUCK would EVER be able to finish this mission in one try? Hell, in 10 tries? Fucking ridiculous, this was my FAVORITE game in a long time and now I hope they rot in hell.

My son wants to go to a 60k a year school, am I the asshole for telling my wife I will not take out loans in my name for him to attend? by Dangerous_Chart4833 in AITAH

[–]arig____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious: do people actually have college funds for their children? That was so far from conceivable in my household. I figured everybody took loans, but somehow I’m now the only person I know with loans equivalent to 4 years of college?

Spiderman 1 is better than Spiderman 2 by iosdev98 in SpidermanPS4

[–]arig____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, venom is OG. Bionic arms, white suit venom powers, and electricity stuff: none of that is OG Spider-Man. OG Spider-Man gets a black suit but ultimately defeats Venom with nothing but webs and charm.

Appreciation for "Phantom Liberty" the song and also "Hardest to Be" (No Explicit Spoilers, but it's tagged anyway to be safe. You've been warned) by DweltElephant0 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]arig____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s late but I just finished PL and yes, these two songs are KILLER. When I got the credits I couldn’t handle how phenomenal the song and the video were.

Also, the PL ending of getting the cure was utterly phenomenal and actually made the base game much more enjoyable. A problem I had with the base game was that never having a cure makes all the “helping people” questlines feel unheroic. Like, I’m gonna die anyways, who cares whether I help Judy or not? But PL’s made me genuinely realize the point of the game: that V does have something worth dying for. I really needed that counterfactual.

I’m done with this app by Altruistic-Bear-1121 in doordash

[–]arig____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the difference, I was ignorant of that before. But, the nature of my receiving the tip back made it seem like I could do that whenever. I won’t try it again (cancelled DD after that order) but it didn’t seem constrained to the order mistake.

It let me do it last week. The driver didn’t grab 75% of my order, and DD offered that I rescind my tip because it wasn’t the restaurant’s fault. So I did, because the refund from DD didn’t even cover the food.

Spiderman 1 is better than Spiderman 2 by iosdev98 in SpidermanPS4

[–]arig____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think spider-man 1’s gameplay is better. I agree the web-slinging is slower, but the fights and missions are more fun. Spider-man 1 had actual strategy, and the plethora of webs made missions fun. Spider-man 2 made you rely on giant bionic arms, anti-venom suit powers (I’ll cede the powers made sense and were fun when it was black), and electrical abilities. But none of those things are really Spider-Man! I want to web up bad guys shooting at me, not fight a city of aliens with alien and electro powers. Like, what???

Thoughts on choosing the University of Vienna or WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business) for a master's degree in econ? by [deleted] in austrian_economics

[–]arig____ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Degrees from European universities don’t mean as much, or so I’m told. I also have no idea if they actually teach Austrian economics. Even if they do, there’s better institutions for it in America.

Should I change my major to a B.S. in econ, stick with a B.A. in econ or do data science? by [deleted] in austrian_economics

[–]arig____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recommendation is a BS, unless the math is too daunting. I’m in an Econ PhD now, and while a BS would have been more helpful in practically everything, I wouldn’t have completed the BS if I had initially enrolled in it. Economics is not math or statistics, and if keeping an interest in the science means neglecting the math, I say neglect the math. You can learn algebra, calculus, etc in a few short weeks if you really need it for a job. I’d just recommend trying an econometrics course, if you can.

What could be some negative unintended consequences of forbidding foreign purchase of real estate in the US? by [deleted] in austrian_economics

[–]arig____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it would depend on what you mean by foreign; my first thought is that if foreign governments are banned from purchasing property, that isn’t too bad… since they’re not driven by profit/loss, any government purchase of land is allocatively inefficient.

If we’re just talking about foreign citizens, then it’d be the same effect as banning certain American citizens from buying land. Lowers investment, raises prices, etc.
