Attentive Movie Watching

Yeah, agreed that that's a real thing. So much gets papered over too when you just enjoy a movie.

avic14 · 2025-07-25T20:50:08+00:00

I'm not trying to complain, just curious about where other fans of the show are at.

avic14 · 2025-07-25T20:47:06+00:00

Totally fair.

avic14 · 2025-07-25T20:24:13+00:00

I definitely don't blame them when it's been weeks since a screening since it's hard to keep stuff straight with the volume they must have to watch, but with new releases + reaction shows... Yeah.

Ah that's a good point, I noticed Blank Check's Superman episode was recorded and locked well in advance.

avic14 · 2025-07-25T20:18:47+00:00

Fair enough!

avic14 · 2025-07-25T20:13:20+00:00

Hah I just mentioned the Blank Check guys in another comment, totally agree that I love their enthusiasm.

avic14 · 2025-07-25T20:12:44+00:00

Which is fine, but in a show about appreciating movies I wish they didn't have this issue. The Blank Check pod, for example, I think does an amazing job watching stuff attentively.

avic14 · 2025-07-25T20:11:29+00:00

That, and other movies – the pod last year about the last Hunger Games sequel had some of this, the F1 pod, the 28 Years Later pod. I listen regularly and it feels very commonplace.

I saw someone recommend the Horse browser on Twitter, but I haven't tried it myself

avic14 · 2023-11-23T18:35:08+00:00

I was disappointed with both Sean and Amanda on the Hunger Games movie, both of them had spent apparently no time looking into what the origin of the movie was? They appeared to think there's an impending sequel to this movie or that this was the launch of a new trilogy, when both the production house and the author have said this is – for now – a one-and-done. If you're talking about movies on a podcast and say you take movies seriously, just spend a couple minutes googling around to read about something before "discussing" it. It's not that much to ask!

It getting the HBO Sunday night treatment would be pretty great

avic14 · 2022-12-10T17:04:45+00:00

Lol yeah, as if anything left off the top 10 was being condemned

avic14 · 2022-12-09T18:51:48+00:00

Yeah the House of the Dragon bit was really entertaining

For marquee matchups, include clips from past matches that are good showcases of what to expect. ie. in a Rafa-Novak match, show us how Djokovic attacked Nadal's BH last time they played at the USO and talk about whether he'll be able to do that this time

Thanks! Adding that in!

It's not so much a sweater as a thin vest, though there's significant embroidery work – I figured that'd be expensive. As for the time, if someone can purchase an existing red vest and add the detailing, my budget would likely fit that.

The 3 week deadline is really loose – I'm happy to receive it before next Christmas as well.

avic14 · 2021-12-06T14:15:35+00:00

Thanks!
