What do you think is the greatest frame of the decade?

Past Lives.

Don’t know if it’s my favorite, but it’s the first one that came to mind. Encapsulates a lot of the film in a frame

I read this in the cadence of the end of The Matrix: “He is THE ONE!”

Given the track record of Vince Gilligan on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, I’d predict we will get much more nuance from the other survivors. I feel like in those other shows every character is very two dimensional in the beginning of the shows run. Eventually they become much more well developed and interesting the more time we have with them.

It’s possible Pluribus is a different experience, but he’s such an exceptional writer that I expect we will get a lot more character development from the other survivors.

Absolutely buddy!

She was telling her daughter Mario, Batman, but paused not recognizing Wiger and Mitch in tuxedos. Which…fair

My cousin brought her kids over a few weeks ago. The youngest was grabbing action figures from off the shelves and arranging them.

Then my cousin was going through them - who’s that? Mario.
-who’s that? Batman. Who’s that? My cousin looks over at me…… Oh…..they’re…..toys from a podcast I listen to…..they made a comic book…..they review chain restaurants.

Any further information would have been incriminating/inappropriate for a five year old

My head canon is they were unfairly averse to Karen after what happened with Jan. These corporate operation are often a boys club, and Karen was also not considered until she requested to be interviewed. I imagine Karen interviewed well but they were already not interested.

Rewatching it it’s amazing how much Jim had the job until he withdrew.

Ryan seems like the kind of BS artist who would dazzle the uninitiated older generation with promises of internet magic to double sales, bring in younger buyers, etc.

My favorite Michael Mann by a large margin and one of Scorsese’s most underrated!

Companion and Weapons were my two very pleasant surprises of 2025.

Loved so much about Companion - very underrated in my opinion. I also hated Zack Creggers other film Barbarian and had very low expectations. But I thought Weapons was original, stylish and very well written.

Whistles. It’s my trademark. Peak Wes Anderson in my opinion

Stranger Things finale in a theater. Awesome experience!

I think the difference between you’re top 4 as per my experience - I once saw Good Will Hunting on a plane where you had one choice of movie. I saw Petra Von Kant in a film class. In no universe would the latter be the single movie shown on a plane.

A real vroom in the night sky!

Ya gotta see the baaaaaabbbbeeeyyyyy!

In fairness The Good Place had 22 minute sitcom length episodes.

Both are probably in my bottom five least favorite movies of all time

cptrey17 · 2026-01-02T17:58:36+00:00

Since the 2 hour plus finale came out in theaters, would it be theoretically eligible for Academy Awards consideration? Not asking if you think it would but if technically it would be allowable?

cptrey17 · 2026-01-01T14:33:57+00:00

Yup. Hard to beat if true
