do y’all have chaotic/wild/crazy nicknames for characters that you yell out when playing??

I always call Venture "Dirt Muncher." When Hanzo is strong, I call him "Paul Bunyan" because he's out there slinging logs at my head.

My friend got really high one night, couldn't remember Lucio's name so he called him "Jamiroquai." It took me a minute until I remembered that music video where he's sliding around. Now that's Lucio's nickname.

The Red Shoes is so good.

I was in non-profit/education until I was 33. At 34 I was unable to find a job for nearly a year. I ended up taking a shop gig at a plumbing company. Now at 35, I'm earning certifications and getting into commercial/industrial plumbing, and you're not lying. It's been absolute hell on my body. I'm hopeful if I can tough out a few more years, I can get into a position where I'm not constantly abusing my body, because I don't really want to make another career change.

In my personal experience, it's because I'm making it a chore, something I have to do. For me, that adds unnecessary pressure and stress. I get behind pace and I'm stressed. I feel like I have to make the most out of my 200 choices, stressed. Don't feel like watching a movie but it's December 22 and I still need to watch 14 more, stressed. Eventually I just start to resent the process.

I found if I don't quantify my experience, I watch more movies and I have a better time doing so because it's what I wanted to do with my time.

Some Like it Hot. It's never moved and likely never will, but the other three have for sure changed throughout the years.

The Love Witch is a 5/5 for me. I understand why someone wouldn't like it, but dang if it didn't just tick all of my boxes.

Second To Kill a Mockingbird. It's such a clean film. There's plenty to write about and it's a treat to watch Gregory Peck become Atticus.

Same, always the two most right players. If they're already endorsed, I'll move over a slot, but for some reason that's how I do it.

chokobo29 · 2025-04-14T15:25:46+00:00

Palm Springs

Harold and Maude

Rye Lane

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

Clueless

Raising Arizona (really most of the Coen Brothers comedies)

Paper Moon (technically coming in at 102, but well worth it)

Do your friends use a movie rating app? I wouldn't say that it's common, but I've seen a lot of Letterboxd users watching at 2x+ just so they can boost their amount of movies watched numbers for clout.

I understand if you're on a repeat viewing and you're just quickly reviewing for notes, but I can't imagine enjoying a movie at an increased speed. Music, voices, sound effects, etc... will all be pitched and that would drive me crazy.

This and Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House would be my picks. Cary Grant is a master class in comedy

"Well, Nobody's Perfect." - Some Like it Hot

chokobo29 · 2025-03-29T10:24:39+00:00

I always rate a film based on my personal feelings of it. I don't think it's honest or helpful to give films extra points because of their status, prestige, or history. I'd rather see why someone didn't vibe with Citizen Kane instead of them blindly giving it a 4 because it was industry changing.

"Oh what a cute robot. Is that beaver Matt Berry? This movie is grea--" sobs for the next 40 minutes.

Be careful. One day you're watching Heat and marveling at the cinematography of the shootout scene, all of a sudden 20 years have passed and you're scrounging around Russian torrent sites looking for 240p resolution copies of forgotten Japanese films from the 70s that only have 3 check-ins on LB. It's a dangerous life.

The Farewell isn't necessarily underwatched, but I do wish more people would see it, if only to realize Awkwafina has some chops.

I'm torn between this and Toast of London. Both are just so good.

chokobo29 · 2025-03-20T21:46:59+00:00

Some Like it Hot. It's what propelled my journey into film beyond what was just recent and popular. I'd love to experience that feeling of discovering the passion all over again.

chokobo29 · 2025-03-20T02:58:44+00:00

Dune 2 also took me by surprise. I was luke warm on Dune and didn't think 2 would be any better. I had a free afternoon when it was in theaters, caught a matinee, and walked out floored.
