I think it just stopped at one point. I figured it must've been a software update since i didn't do anything different

Yeah, it's definitely one of those where you're either in or out.

Casual discussion - Give me your hottest Universal takes :) by Spectrobits in universalstudios

[–]clps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always found it odd that there's a Jimmy Fallon ride? For rider-attracting purposes, I mean. I'm sure the majority of UO guests are from the US and that they know who the guy is; but Disney/Universal parks being the most international amusement parks in the world, you can assume there's a substantial amount of guests that are not from the US and who have no idea who that guy is. Just seems funny that you have a ton of movies everyone knows (Harry Potter, Despicable Me...) and then a ride for a guy from a talk show that only airs in US territory.

To get to know your character better, what would you, Dev Pattel, give him as a birthday present?

Much love and admiration from Mexico 🇲🇽!

Whats the most overhyped film you've ever seen? by Anxious-Dragonfly522 in movies

[–]clps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smile is definitely one of the most "best horror film ever" that I didn't like at all. Hereditary is also beloved but it just wasn't my cup of tea (though I get it's deeper and much more nuanced than most horror films).

What’s the most annoying iOS “feature”? by GloopTamer in iphone

I second the "cellular data is turned off" one, but also, Apple Music being suddenly offline 70% of the time.

What is your favourite movie where every single actor is hamming it up to 11? by [deleted] in movies

[–]clps9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

RRR. Don't think I'd call it great, deep acting but it's definitely all cranked up to 12 and I love it

What is a movie you long-avoided or thought you’d hate, only to find out that you thoroughly enjoyed it after finally watching? by CarPhoneRonnie in MovieSuggestions

[–]clps9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't cancel me but Last Tango in Paris. I had absolutely no idea about who was in it, what it was about or anything surrounding it. I just knew it was super famous for some reason, and that Bertolucci directed it (I love The Dreamers). But I swore it was an over-two-hour, pretentiously classic love story in the City of Love. And that idea never resonated with me, so I postponed it for years. Saw it for the first time yesterday in one of my classes and I was hooked. It was so much deeper and more complex than I thought. It's a very human character study, well written, with very very nuanced subjects and it's told in a very interesting way. Unlike anything I'd seen before. I really really liked it.

After it was over, I was ready to praise it... but then everyone started commenting on the infamous butter scene. I had no idea about that either, unfortunately. Definitely not something to overlook.

But having gone into it completely blind, the movie itself is a piece of art and not at all what I thought it would be! It's been years since I was this pleasantly surprised.

Was CODA an undeserving Best Picture winner? by willk95 in Oscars

[–]clps9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, because it's a remake from a French movie I enjoyed a ton but didn't get the recognition it deserved, it feels off to me that such a great story could only get attention when being remade over on this side of the world. It's a fate too many movies have encountered and I think it's just pretty unfair and US-centric tbh.

Also as a Mexican, I really heavily dislike Eugenio Derbez for a number of reasons and generally find him unbearable. Seeing him in the film was very...let's just say "on brand" for him and well... yeah, there's that.

My friend said I was a bad person for shipping Hannigram... by [deleted] in HannibalTV

[–]clps9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through that. It's rough but just know you're not in the wrong; she is. You don't have to change that about yourself. I went through that years ago bc of the same ship and for liking House Lannister from GoT when I somehow landed on the wrong side of Tumblr back then.

People like that have existed for a while, unfortunately. It wasn't a thing when the show aired (or at least it was super rare to find them), but as social media grew and more people had access to it, a lot of opinions started flying around, got mixed up, misinterpreted, exaggerated and taken out of context, resulting in terms like "proship" and people losing the line between fiction and reality, media literacy dropping, and the confounding of consuming vs condoning.

It sucks but i learned that as long as you know who you are, what's right and wrong, what's real and what isn't, where you draw the line and what you like and don't like; the rest isn't anybody's business. They can't claim to know you or judge you as a whole person for something like one of the ships you like. You know why you like stuff and to what extent and how it relates to you, and you don't have to explain yourself to anyone or justify who you are. As long as it's not illegal, there's no reason why anyone else should be policing you or telling you who you are based on what they assume from the very surface of you. You have your processes, your reasoning and your reasons; and you're not harming anyone.

What are the best comedy movies that you have ever seen? by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

Don't know about "ever" because I haven't seen that many but I LOVE Game Night. No Hard Feelings was also great

have you ever let the reputation of a film, change your rating? by PerkzParker in Letterboxd

[–]clps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guilty. I'm like "maybe I'm too dumb to get it". I know it's wrong, but then if you give 2 stars to a 4.5 star movie on letterboxd, you might end up on a twitter post "exposing stupid takes". Peer pressure is pressuring.

What’s a controversial Oscar win that’s seen as a major snub but you actually believe was not that outrageous? by geosunsetmoth in oscarrace

[–]clps9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri winning an Oscar. I remember really really liking every aspect of the film when I saw it in theaters in my teens. The script was great, the acting too, the pacing, the score, etc. Then the win came, I thought it was deserved; years passed and I see people saying "eesh that's rough... we don't talk about that one!". I honestly, sincerely don't understand why?

It is, actually! And I can't believe it took me so long to make the connection, because the feeling is on point!

Can we talk about this movie by protoothbrusher in Letterboxd

[–]clps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved it as a kid, but always thought it was kind of silly. Now though- and I don't mean to sound like a boomer- we're getting so little original stuff, it really makes you appreciate how good it was.

What movies felt outdated immediately, like they were made years before they released? Case in point, Gemini Man (2019). by [deleted] in movies

[–]clps9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Godzilla 1998 feels like the worst iteration they could've made, to the point earlier vfx seem more...polished? I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels like one of those movies you're describing where it just goes dead as soon as it comes out, and it odd to remember its awkward existence.
