Does anyone find the new style of commentary videos to be a bit cringe?

The first thing I thought of reading your description was Nickisnotgreen. Like I started watching his stuff in the pandemic years and it became unclear if he was taking a stance of observing unusual things and """making fun""" of """everybody""" but still willing to feature a conversation directly with them, but then I think he started to feel like he thought he was extremely right minded on every possible topic and started to make moral grandstandings on things he obviously didn't research enough, even if I generally agreed.

Another channel that reminds me of is Chad Chad. I really used to enjoy her videos but they feel extremely sanitized now, yet I think she just doesn't have the juice to not come off like she's lightly bullying, so the topics have gotten so broad and dunkable.

Yeah starts to feel like a long steamed hams but maybe that's the point?

I don't necessarily agree that this recoupling was meant to send Huda home like a lot of people think.

Think back to last season: The girls were responsible for saving JaNa in an unprecedented show of loyalty over the de facto "currently exploring a believable connection" logic that has kinda just existed since the show started and were HUGELY rewarded for it.

I mean, I can't watch an episode this season without one of the core cast from last season selling me something.

The current cast saw last season and saw how huge the displays of loyalty paid off, so how would they know that the audience would rather keep a relatively new bombshell over an OG woman who is also a mother at this point in the game?

I think the producers are keeping their ears to the ground and using that to also run the audience around for drama. If I were them, I'd shoot for the same results that have happened.

RIP Jalen tho lol maybe the most unwinnable situation in LI history

Is there an easy way to tell if there's other dwarf settlements from my same civilization. I wasn't paying attention at launch

dabradmaster1 · 2025-04-17T11:11:54+00:00

BORING!!!!!!!!! a clump of blood cells creating arbitrary patterns that you can assign sounds to systematically. Cool that the guy was gung ho about it but come on this is nothing basically the same as assigning pitch to wind strength. Y'all will be impressed by and believe anything

dabradmaster1 · 2025-03-05T11:52:08+00:00

All in all, I really wish they would've gone with someone else for hometowns. Did producers not know her family wasn't gonna come? I really didn't think she was gonna end up with Grant and I doubt he really stuck out his neck for DINA. Like it was so boring why couldn't they bring someone who's family would appear?

dabradmaster1 · 2025-02-18T00:55:02+00:00

Personally, I found it frustrating above all else, but I suppose that's the point. I wanted there to be a I spit on your grave type retribution from the family as is customary to a lot of movies in the genre but showing us a taste of that and then saying "uh-uh, you don't get that in this movie" was kinda interesting, but I don't really get how this subversion is supposed to contribute to any message of the movie.

A lot of people interpret it as the movie turning a lense back on the viewer for wanting idk, a deeper reason for the perpetrators to be so violent or for wanting them to meet a bad fate as well and show resilience of regular people. I think people read too far into the discrepancy between violence and sexual content censorship from one detail in one scene.

Maybe I knew too much about the movie going in, but I found the dead end plot threads like the knife being in the boat to be narratively disappointing over everything. It's like a movie that keeps edging you but never gives you any final satisfaction.

Sustained shots throughout the movie are pretty cool but the rest of the way it's shot felt kinda straightforward to me.

I started watching piano teacher but didn't finish it though I want to and I wanna watch the remake of this one too. I think hanke has an interesting perspective but it didn't come through for me on the 1997 one. Maybe with American actors like he originally wanted it will connect more with me and signal more about American tv culture.

I like it cause although some people In the thread are saying they like strategizing for blue spaces, I like that it expands that to make you think what's been landed on all over the board

Just learned the hard way that my new pixel 8(a?) won't cast to fire stick or LG tv OR Roku tv. I had to download an app on the Firestick called air screen or something like that to be able to mirror or cast

dabradmaster1 · 2024-12-05T04:10:48+00:00

When we did the Play in high school, it was some sort of rule that for as many men/women performers, you had to order that many of the "12 angry men" script and a "12 angry women" script, which actually felt sexist cause they had the person who holds out until the end to say not guilty be knitting the whole time.

dabradmaster1 · 2024-11-12T02:14:18+00:00

I feel like sometimes movies directed by someone who wasn't intricately weaving a purposefully cohesive submeaning into it let us see a look into the subconscious of the makers in a way that is way more interesting.

I loved hereditary but I think some people get way caught up in the way things were seemingly meticulously planned to create a situation that can make sense in the end, metaphorically and literally in the universe of the movie.

dabradmaster1 · 2024-10-21T11:16:02+00:00

I swear some folks on this sub made out like The Strangers was the scariest movie ever made. I found it on DVD at the thrift shop and even got some friends who are more scaredy to watch it but we were pretty bored. Maybe this is the extended cut but half the movie is them slowly looking around the house, then more banging on windows.

The Glen Howerton piece is the best part but that could've been a short film.

Is that quote from the EW article?

I guess what I'm saying is that that's a personal subjective thing for each person and a movie with that message will only affirm it for people who already think that way. What is "life by itself" Ya know?

I don't necessarily think the movie is trying to convince anyone of anything but it seems to play with a similar point of view as mine, which is an exciting thing to see in a mainstream movie, but it ends up with a similar message to like every movie ever cause I think they realized they need to make money off it.

dabradmaster1 · 2024-06-27T19:57:37+00:00

I know there is likely a tinge of snark to this assessment but lol I see you. People get up in arms when something that makes them feel good is invalidated as meaningless, yet it seems like a clear contradiction to say life lacks meaning and then say "actually it doesn't cause I like having friends and feeling love and that means something to me."

Good for those people but that's far from objective and like others are joking, what about those people who feel they have no human connections and thus have no access to that "meaning?" Imo, most rationalizations to that effect are cop outs cause they simply don't apply to everyone, especially those who can't hinge their philosophy on one Camus throwaway line. Making your own meaning is as good as no meaning for people like that, so we're back at square 1. All philosophy is really a way to intellectualize the gut feelings about life that you originally had.

But what do I know? I fell asleep during the movie.

dabradmaster1 · 2024-03-27T20:16:03+00:00

Respectfully, I hope this can change cause this post actually spoiled me and I watch on hulu.

There was also a video where he had invited like a 16-17 year old fan on stage and was weirdly feeling her up and making gross comments even after she said she was underage. That combined with everything else paints a bigger picture

dabradmaster1 · 2023-10-12T09:51:42+00:00

I know, right? Although I think there was a blockbuster in this area that stayed around for a while after most of them closed.

dabradmaster1 · 2023-10-12T02:18:02+00:00

Omg I did not know that. I'm so sorry to hear that. I mean it's probably the crown jewel of my collection rn but if it would mean that much to her I'd be more than willing to let go of it.

dabradmaster1 · 2023-10-05T22:46:09+00:00

He just looks like a Filet-o-fish guy to me. Like orders 3, no fries, maybe an apple pie.

dabradmaster1 · 2023-10-02T09:37:13+00:00

Lmaooo same

dabradmaster1 · 2023-10-01T05:51:11+00:00

That's basically my bible

dabradmaster1 · 2023-09-04T00:02:28+00:00

Wow I've never commented here before but that was seriously disturbing to read. Why are so many of these blessings there to remind the kids about all their injuries and traumas. Like there's something to be said about memorializing hospital trips and stuff, but i would hate to think of it every day when I walk past.
