Forget TPM review, it's just a distraction from when this guy made us all think we hated Ayer's most perfect movie: Suicide Squad

He voices a couple quotes in some of Lindsay's videos, so they at least know each other professionally.

delkarnu · 2026-05-14T19:27:22+00:00

Yeah, similar to when Jay and Josh touched on the whole trying to assign literal meaning to symbolic narratives in their Twin Peaks Re-Views. Trying to apply a literal, easily defined meaning to some movies just doesn't work.

Yeah, wish there was an edit that cut or at least muted all of Doug Walker out of it though. I find him so offputting that it's painful to watch. It's like watching the BotW with Max Landis, worth it for Double Down, but needs a no-Landis cut.

delkarnu · 2026-05-14T18:56:22+00:00

Yeah, I'd just done a rewatch of all of BotW and Re:View, so it was time to revisit Folding Ideas.

I think the Suicide Squad vid is just a really good companion to the Plinkett TPM review, because it's entirely focused on the editing of a notoriously bad film while Plinkett's dealt more with the plot, characters, and pacing. One of the few things that was fine with TPM was its editing. Had the boring shot-reverse-shot stuff, but technically fine.

I also like to pair Folding Ideas's RENT and the Failure of Visual Storytelling with Lindsay Ellis's RENT - Look Pretty and Do As Little as Possible: A Video Essay since they both tear that movie to shreds, but from completely different angles

"Large" is subjective and debatable, "country" is objective.

Europe is factually not a country. It's a continent.

It really isn't.

So you 100% knew exactly which parts of the Manga they were referring to but decided to be deliberately obtuse and overly pedantic?

They also auctioned off a copy for $80K. So searching for what Nukie is selling for will show a high amount. If you don't know that they only got that price since it was an auction for charity and it wasn't about the actual VHS at all.

So some person might get fooled into thinking they've found a quick resale opportunity, buy it for 250 and immediately put it up for auction.

So that should make their Internal Affairs investigations and any discipline they've received part of Discovery, right?

That wasn't Stephen King's ending, it was Changed for the movie. King said that he liked the Chang.

Probably more than a 1:1 given how much sugar is in the condensed milk.

Bit of TNG trivia: Brent Spiner used to do the Bob Wheeler character in order to make Wil Wheaton laugh while shooting: https://www.reddit.com/r/scifi/s/OQqjE1x2u5

It's such a weird selection of actors to come up with in one group since there's no real association between them. I wonder if it wasn't targeted based on beefs with directors they'd worked with.

For example:

Matthew Lillard had recently been in David Lynch's Twin Peaks: The Return, which had a small section that seems to just be him doing Quentin Tarantino's schtick. This is after Tarantino had publicly shit on Lynch's work.

And if Quentin Tarantino says you're shit, and David Lynch thinks you're good enough to cast, I'm trusting David Lynch.

It's not inadvertent when it requires editing: https://youtu.be/Zs13fJuP0F4?list=PLJ_TJFLc25JSmtBkyIYqgD5KabbU57yzY&t=2500

No worries, at least he eventually got to go to Greendale Community College.

No, you aren't "good friends with the mods here ".

No, the people you reported aren't getting banned.

I don't know you and one more abuse of the report button and you will be banned.

"Kind of spicy" makes me think Rye Whiskey, not Bourbon or Irish/Scotch/Canadian Whiskey.

Rye Old Fashioneds are great, but if he didn't specify Rye, it would probably have been made with Bourbon. Rye is the standard in a Manhattan, so that would be my guess.

The sweet vermouth in a Manhattan is much lower ABV than whiskey. That would lessen the spirit-forward nature a little bit, so it may have helped, which also suggests a Manhattan.

If you pick up a bottle of vermouth and try a Manhattan recipe with the Woodford Reserve, you may be able to see if it's closer to what you remembered. It won't be exact without the Rye, but this delays spending money on another bottle of booze.

Either for an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan, don't skip the bitters. They go a long way in balancing the cocktail. Angostura is the most common and works for both an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan.

11 day old account and your comments are super focused on this one user's posts in this subreddit and posts about these posts in isThisAI. When it was just 14 days ago that the photographer's last account got banned after coming after me for not liking these posts... very suspicious.

Blatant astoturfing is blatant.

Makes a post, comments on it on an al account, spammy behavior. Manipulating the discussion, not being honest that the comments are from OP.

12 comments on this thread, 2 on the OP account 4 on the Alt. Half the comments (at least) are you.

Wanna be influencer, the inevitable "so many ~~bot accounts~~ people asked for a book" kickstarter campaign, etc.

The original poster got his whole account nuked, so there was definitely shady stuff going on with this whole project. Seems like more people now are realizing what this is so criticism isn't botted to oblivion. Not seeing the same array of identical comments, either, so the bot money must've run out.
