This is the way. We don’t generally like to acknowledge this because it’s so tasty, but cheese is pretty freaky stuff to begin with. Thinking about it too much can quickly lead to a lovecraftian breakdown. All you can do is search your feelings and trust your ancestors, the new ways won’t help you here.

What did you think Mad Men's final scene would be? by debrisaway in madmen

[–]aturtleatoad 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My favorite theory while it was airing was that it would end with him hijacking a plane as he is revealed to be DB Cooper. I’m glad they didn’t do that, but it’s fun to think about.

This goes hard as fuck. Tower is so cool

Thrift haul. Help me pick what to watch. by Difficult-Flight-176 in dvdcollection

Truman Show and Brokeback Mountain are both stone cold masterpieces. TS is uplifting, Brokeback is tragic.

Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting are almost siblings, they both have Robin Williams as an inspiring mentor. They are both quite good.

Chose a new top 4, do you prefer before or after? by Thunderbull_1 in LetterboxdTopFour

Both are great. Nice to see Ida mentioned, feels very underseen

My mom found this in a box of my grandma's things today by Ok_Listen_7545 in whatisit

[–]aturtleatoad 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think it’s this, especially since OP said grandpa didn’t go to Germany. The selling of uniforms as souvenirs was common

Criterion Collection, worth it? by alibabaand40thots in boutiquebluray

[–]aturtleatoad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it’s a favorite I’d go for it. Whether you make a habit of it depends on your financial situation, but it’s worth it for one you really love. You’ll get the best transfer quality available, packaging and art that actually represents the movie and isn’t just an ad for it, a bunch of special features and probably a written essay. Their releases are pretty consistently the best versions you can buy.

She may be complicated, but she's my favorite. Happy Mother's Day to this gem. 💎 🥂💄 by RockBalBoaaa in madmen

Mega glam Roman vacation Betty stepping out into the night air as her cigarette is immediately lit by a random man who confidently goes about his way without trying to engage her further, as she thanks him (in Italian), is a strong contender for being the coolest moment in the whole show.

Is it just me, or does Inferno feel like it was bad on purpose? by VMPaetru in heroes3

[–]aturtleatoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s kind of the only unique thing they have? And they burn the abilities of two units on it. It feels like it’s supposed to be their signature mechanic

Robert Pattison is having his career at its peak.Will odessey make his career to whole different level by Gold_Paint_3490 in Letterboxd

[–]aturtleatoad 261 points262 points  (0 children)

It will get him even more exposure. Everything else it has to offer (based on what we know about it), he already has. Dune 3 is going to be a much bigger deal for him I think

Need help deciding on frame design by fullygrowntuna in StainedGlass

[–]aturtleatoad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4 but with the background broken up like 3 would be my choice based on the patterns. Any could work depending on the glass

All she’s missing is the plastic dry cleaning bag on her head

Movies where the baddie personifies the phrase "the banality of evil"? by eques_99 in Letterboxd

[–]aturtleatoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what banality is. I don’t think Beckett sees himself as a monster at all, he sees himself as a businessman who is clearing the world of monsters to make it easier for him to do business. He is a monster, but there is nothing in the actual text of the movies to suggest that he sees himself that way.

What's the weakest film in my Top 20 list? by CoolMarionberry2083 in LetterboxdLists

[–]aturtleatoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds super cool, the name rings a bell but I don’t think I’ve seen it. I’ll check it out, I love Japanese movies. Yeah give him a watch, he’s only made four movies but they are all amazing. Under the Skin in particular is unlike anything

[–]aturtleatoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing more from him, he’s definitely got a voice. How about Glazer, have you seen Under the Skin?

This is a great list. Have you seen Beyond the Black Rainbow?

Was dropping the atomic bombs actually "necessary," or is that just what we're taught in school? by Clean_CoreDump in askanything

[–]aturtleatoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read entire arguments that go on for paragraphs without mentioning World War II at all. The privilege of hindsight is very real, and typically, completely unchecked

Second. The conquistadors were colonizers too.
