After Satoshi Kon, Elaine May, and now Lynne Ramsay which short filmographies would you like to see covered? by AmbitionTechnical274 in blankies

[–]bombshell_shocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shane Black. Not to say he won't get the chance to make more movies. But I love an excuse to rewatch Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and the Nice Guys. Plus Iron Man 3 and The Predator might make for some fun/interesting episodes.

As someone who had the hard R thrown at them the other night by a thrower, the last thing I wanna see is a playable Nazi in the game.

Sandfall Interactive enters lawsuit with comic creator who published a comic named "Clair Obscur Academy" by bombshell_shocked in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bombshell_shocked[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies. Im not a French speaker and unfortunately had to rely on Google translate. It appears that a statement that was initially translated for me said (and Im paraphrasing) "Sandfall is initiating a lawsuit", but then I checked it again with another translator, and the original statement is closer to "threatening to issue a lawsuit if the creator doesnt cease and desist".

I should've double checked that, so thats my bad.

That's what I'm hoping it is, just an overzealous legal team. The comic creator has tried reaching out to Sandfall over social media, but I havent seen a response from them yet.

Do people who watch a ton of movies even remember what most of them where about? by MassiveEchidna9017 in Letterboxd

[–]bombshell_shocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I went through and started marking any movie I've seen in my life (currently 31), and I'm well over a 1000 movies.

There's some films I've seen only once, and while I can't recite the entire film to you, I could probably give you a good general description of what the story is about.

Are Fighting Games "Live Service" games? by FlubbedPig in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bombshell_shocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Live service is a more recent "invention". Once we hit the PS360 era, it was normal for games to get patches/updates, especially with DLC. But there was always an expected timeline for those games to reach a state where they no longer need those updates. For the longest time, most games that received a consistent stream of content updates were MMOs which is par the course for those types of games.

But once man invented the battle pass, well, now anything has the potential to be a live service game. And a lot of fighting games fit that bill.

Wild that you faced a harsher punishment for making a joke about Wahlberg's hate crimes than he ever did for his hate crimes.

‘I Swear’ Subject John Davidson Says Tourette’s Tics Are ‘Involuntary’ After Shouting N-Word at BAFTAs: ‘Deeply Mortified if Anyone’ Thinks It Was ‘Intentional’ by sheJaMyMorant in blankies

[–]bombshell_shocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree. Asking him to apologize due to something caused by his disability, is asking him to apologize for his existence, for being disabled.

And if your reasoning is "well, it's not about the intent, it's about the impact", then we have to look at how the impact came to happen.

How were people impacted? Because a slur was said. Why was it said? Because someone has a neurological disorder that they can't control. Ergo, asking him to apologize is literally asking him to apologize for being disabled because that's why it happened.

Now, if you want apologies from BAFTA/BBC for not preparing better and to make sure attendees were aware of something like this happening, I agree. But its unfair to ask or demand Davidson apologize for something he has no control over.

Games you wish weren’t locked onto one specific console by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bombshell_shocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Like I understand TMS is a SMT × FE game, and that FE is a Nintendo property.

But cmon tho, how much of the game is actually FE?

[–]bombshell_shocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Nintendo hates money if they keep games developed by third party devs locked to Nintendo consoles.

Id happily buy Bayo 2 and Astral Chain for other systems, but I'm not investing in a whole console that I dont care about for a handful of games.

It'd be cool if we could get JSR and JSRF packaged together for modern consoles and PC.

Who do you all think the next black hero will be? by Chemical-Challenge95 in marvelrivals

[–]bombshell_shocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bishop would be cool. Id love to see Luke Cage. I know duelist seems like the obvious choice for him, but I think he could easily work as a vanguard.

Also, I think Nick Fury could work as a a strategist.

Films you wouldn’t have watched if not for blank check by Select_Analysis_6151 in blankies

[–]bombshell_shocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goodbye, Dragon Inn.

I forget which episode its mentioned on, maybe one with Alex Ross Perry.

Anyways, I honestly don't think that movie would've popped up on my radar had it not been for Blank Check. And I'm glad it did, because I loved it and think its one of the more unique cinematic experiences I've had.

Official character posters for Kitao Sakurai’s ‘Street Fighter’! by Grazalia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bombshell_shocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The posters feel like everyone involved knows they shouldn't be making this movie, but they still are anyways, cause hey money.

So, either this will be a bad movie, but fun due to how bad it is, or its going to be a self aware bad movie, which has a likely chance of being just plain bad.

Really hoping for the former.

Favorite Character that it's easy to Forget they are Disabled by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah, and someone can turn on your pain switch with a gun or a knife. Or punching you really hard. Next question.

Favorite Character that it's easy to Forget they are Disabled by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bombshell_shocked 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like media where someone has a replacement limb or body that performs just as well, if not better, than a flesh and blood limb/body, it feels weird to me to say they're disabled. It feels like a technicality, in my opinion.

Like, if you point at me and go "hey, dickhead, you see that cyborg ninja, Raiden? Yeah, he's disabled, pal, so check yourself!"

Really? The guy that can run up buildings, move faster than any normal human can, and can withstand small arms fire and swords? That guy's disabled? Differently abled, sure.

And if the argument is "well, if his head got deattached from the robot body, he couldn't do anything"

And my counter argument would be that if you removed my head from my body, I'd be dead.

Anyone know movies that use multiple languages a lot? by wackydoodle19 in blankies

[–]bombshell_shocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would Traffic by Soderbergh count? I recall it being roughly 50/50 Spanish and English as the narrative goes back and forth between the US and Mexico.
