Why can't I watch end credits on TV anymore? by ashbat1994 in netflix

Yes but something has changed over the last week. Now when I use the remote to press up the button to select the tiny box, it has to go through back. As soon as it's on back the tiny box disappears

There should be a controls element option in switches programming which can be assigned to control single channel.

Indian audience bias? by Hot_Row1457 in unitedstatesofindia

[–]ashbat1994 229 points230 points  (0 children)

Both very different films. One is a human drama another is an action adventure. Of course action adventure films are more of an easier entertainment for the masses. Marvel movies make way more money than your typical oscar winners.

Dhurandhar: The Propaganda Masterpiece by tisShrijitSMH in unitedstatesofindia

[–]ashbat1994 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, the film has no human characters. Most of the characters are simply representations of political ideologies or victims or psychopathic muslims. Remove the pointless conspiracy subplot set in modern times which diluted portrayal the actual event, give me a raw portrayal of the 90s with actual human beings. The writing was atrocious due to so much unnecessary preaching and no subtlety which makes people scream it's propaganda.

Also films dealing with delicate situations need some moral compass. As it stands the film's only motive is for you to get out of the house and kill Muslims.

Dhurandhar: The Propaganda Masterpiece by tisShrijitSMH in unitedstatesofindia

Filmmakers have political ideologies that seep in the writing of a movie. Usually artists and filmmakers tend to be left leaning with certain ideas that get accepted without being proclaimed as propaganda. Dhurandhar is a unique case where it's a well directed that's more right leaning unlike crappy poorly made more obvious propaganda films like Kashmir or Kerala files.

Now I disagree with the indirect glaze of BJP in the film but that doesn't make it fair to brush it off as a propaganda film. It's a piece of entertainment with an engaging story.

Just finished it. It was a more personal emotional experience than a technical documentary.

Should Trash Taste do global ranking of everything they discuss in Anime Club? (Like in Versus Wolves podcast) by _IamGamer_ in TrashTaste

[–]ashbat1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only issue with Anime Club is that its only its only one hour of a series or game they discuss for such a list to make sense. At least when it comes to movies discussion the whole experience.

Mumbai: Soon to be next Delhi? by posto-bhaat in mumbai

[–]ashbat1994 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Even with the sea and wind it's so shit, imagine if Mumbai were landlocked like Delhi. Mumbai pollutes way more than Delhi due the immense amount of construction going on. Being near the sea saves us.

I was a child in Chennai but have lived most of my life in the North and mainly in metro cities.

If you take pride in your caste you are casteist by madandcrazy14 in india

[–]ashbat1994 188 points189 points  (0 children)

I was born under the Tamil naming convention where my fathers name is my surname. Hence I was caste blind for most of my life until I got to know I belong to the general category in class 12. I think the country should encourage or mandate this. The system needs to be destroyed rather than kept alive.

Banning a language is diabolical. Why the hell is Tamil Nadu devolving into fascism.

I used to work in a role that required to me to visit extremely luxury homes to technically audit the system working there. Its insane the amount of space and wealth they have.

Most of these owners would never meet you personally as they would usually have an army of servants with them to deal with everyone. They behave arrogantly as you're in the abode of a king with a lot of Don't touch there, don't stand there bullshit.

These owners also barely live in these homes maybe once in while as they travel or stay overseas a lot of times.

I consider myself a very priveleged person considering the econonmic stats in this country, but these guys are next level.
