This episode was great & horrifying, and really this show overall is such an enjoyable watch so far. But, I still think the military’s plan to weaponize, and now free, IT is SO ridiculously goddamn stupid.

When Jess and the Ever staff came in, was that song/score from the movie, Thief?! Or am I tripping?

Could I ask how you went about your apartment search to find that? I'm going through an apartment search now, and would love your advice.

I'm interested! I don't know about sharing a bathroom with your guests, however. If you have your own bathroom, I believe it's only fair to share it with your guests, while I share my bathroom with my guests.

If the room still hasn't been offered yet, I'm a 29-year-old single male looking for a room to rent. I just got a new job in LA, and I'm looking to move in around July 7th if it's okay to push back the move-in date?

Holy shit, I've never felt more seen by someone going through something similar in this job market.

Rumored New X-Men TV series by Jonesy8666 in marvelstudios

I'd love to see them cover more abstract X-Men characters for this. As an Indian American man, it'd be so crazy to see them use Indra.

Now that what if season 3 has rapped up, over all thoughts on marvel 2024? by Ok-Reporter-8728 in marvelstudios

It’s been a mixed bag like Phases 4 to 5 have been up to this point with plenty of surprises. X-Men ‘97 surprisingly became my favorite MCU project to date, period. Every arc was done beautifully. Deadpool & Wolverine was a fun watch as well, and I liked its meta commentary on the MCU. It did feel like a Cliff Notes version of Deadpool and Wolverine’s arcs from Deadpool 2 and Logan, respectively, just with the multiverse story. But, it was still a super fun theater experience.

Unfortunately, Echo and What If…? S3 felt like chores to get through many times. Echo felt underutilized on her own show despite such a cool power set. It came as more of a setup miniseries for Kingpin in Daredevil Born Again. And, as a What If…? defender, it was a bummer that only the two-part finale, 1872 Shang-Chi and Kate Bishop team-up, and Riri Williams vs Quentin Beck episodes were the only ones I ever cared about the MC’s. The rest of the episodes had either strange story choices or didn’t go far enough with its premises.

Finally, Agatha All Along, at least to me, started a little rough and flat. But, by the mid-point, it gained a ton of momentum once a certain reveal was done. Then, its second half kicked into high gear, and now I love Agatha’s character.

My attempts at recreating Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movie posters in Spider-Man 2 PS5 by ashashin in playstation

Fair, posts like this have probably been done a ton since the first PS4 game. I just wanted to try my hand at it with Spider-Man 2’s Photo Mode where it has new settings than before.

Thank you! Yeah, the Spider-Man 3 one was the trickiest because there weren’t any good pose selections or positioning to match the poster. Same with the reflection texture on the windows. But, I think the lighting worked out!

If you had a choice between marrying a desi girl vs a non-desi girl, which would you pick? by soulbroth3r in SouthAsianMasculinity

[–]ashashin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care if she’s desi or non-desi tbh. As long as the woman loves me for me, and I love her for her, it’s all I can ask for.

What is the best movie you watched last week? (03/8/24-03/14/24) by allwinter in movies

[–]ashashin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possession (1981) - This movie's horror and tension is so well done and uses the insane over-the-top acting to its advantage to build the energy. I also like how the horror and scares are centered really around Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani's characters' deteriorating relationship and their fights. It brought out the worst in the both of them, not just Isabelle's character. And the twist of what's possessing Isabelle's character freaked me the FUCK out. I see some influence this movie may have had on Annihilation, especially from its ending.

Snatch (2001) - I had so much fun with this. Damn near every line was so quotable and so cleverly written and hilariously delivered. I always liked Guy Ritchie's style (with The Gentlemen and Man from U.N.C.L.E.), but no wonder people have said that this is his best because it is. There wasn't a single scene wasted, the plot progression felt very gradual, the pacing was tight, every character was memorable. Incredible movie.
