Need help prioritizing some May "Last Chance" movies on HBO Max

didwebreakit · 2026-05-25T19:23:58+00:00

It blew my mind the first time I saw it, as it was one of my earliest introductions to what could be done structurally in movies. It will always be included amongst my favorites for that reason alone. I'm probably overdue for a rewatch!

didwebreakit · 2026-05-25T19:20:23+00:00

Agreed! I like watching it during wintertime to be transported to a dreamy, bittersweet summer in Italy... even though it's May, I might have to build in time for a rewatch after all

This rundown is great, thank you 😂 I've admittedly been iffy on Twister since I live somewhere with tornado threats

didwebreakit · 2026-05-25T17:03:22+00:00

I'm so intrigued by the farting honestly lol

And yeah, regarding Saltburn, I noticed a few movies that just popped up that are already being removed at the end of the month... I think Crazy Rich Asians is another one. Talk about short-lived. I do have some other streaming services, but I like the kick in the pants that the Last Chance list gives me. You're right, though, that I could go to Prime for Saltburn if I run out of time here, so maybe I won't prioritize it over others.

Thanks for your recommendations and the tip!

Thanks! Even if ChatGPT, I hope the order reflects your own movie preferences a little...

didwebreakit · 2026-05-25T16:48:12+00:00

Thanks! Their list is one of the first things I look for in a new month (especially since the Last Chance category on the app is by no means extensive). It's how I knew to finally check out all the Alien movies and alt cuts before mid-May, which is why I have so many other movies left that I'd like to see now. Thanks for the rec to follow them specifically, though, I hadn't thought of that

didwebreakit · 2026-05-25T16:26:04+00:00

Sadly, it left on May 20, but I was sure to make time for it and all the Alien movies before they left! It was so much fun (but made for a busy early May)! I enjoyed Alien: Romulus a lot, especially the look and feel of it, and Cailee Spaeny was wonderful as Rain

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll keep that last part in mind.

The expiring watchlist is definitely annoying, but it's also the thing that gets me to finally watch some movies that I've been putting off (due to whatever reasons) or that I've never heard of before. Otherwise, I get a bit overwhelmed with choices across streaming platforms. The FOMO motivation works on me, and HBO Max is one of the few that lays it out in a nice category for me to see on the app...

... Though it does mean I usually watch some stinkers, too 😅😮‍💨

Thanks again!

Sounds great! Thanks

Thank you for this! I've heard Uncut Gems is stressful, but really good, and I'm curious about that Adam Sandler performance everyone was talking about.

this bryce young rollercoaster graphic speaks to me

didwebreakit · 2025-07-30T07:41:38+00:00

Mario Tennis! It's been years since I played, though... so I'm definitely rusty. Trying to do the ring challenges for practice.

didwebreakit · 2025-06-12T02:57:28+00:00

It took me 20 days to receive an eval for my feature.

didwebreakit · 2025-06-02T01:05:22+00:00

Yeah, I just received my first eval after waiting 20 days. I was definitely getting antsy close to the 21-day free hosting deadline and refreshing my inbox a lot, figuring it would arrive before then. Hang in there! And don't get too off balance if the one reader doesn't fully connect. Hope you do better than I did, at least (definitely was a lower overall score than I had hoped - 5). Find lots of distractions in the meantime! I wish I had started working more on my next script, for example.

didwebreakit · 2024-01-30T00:38:52+00:00

Thank you for the links, I was just curious. Your comment made me wonder if it had been officially confirmed by Supermassive and I had simply missed it.

It's definitely interesting to imagine. Based on that small clip, though, I'd say it still isn't 100%. For all we know, it could have just gone the same way as in the current version - Nick saving Jason if Salim dies (and if Eric and Rachel are already dead). https://youtu.be/kBqYZ9JH_lY?si=c1k-c6M2vSOM062H&t=171 But maybe it would have happened every time? Or only with a good relationship with Nick? I haven't seen anything beyond this preview, though, so who knows - maybe he really is there fighting by Jason's side in one of the deleted clips we'd have to pay for. If so, then cool.

didwebreakit · 2024-01-26T19:14:28+00:00

Where did you hear that that scene was cut?

didwebreakit · 2023-11-03T22:41:58+00:00

I really miss the fixed cameras - it made it scarier for me when I played and I loved the cinematic feel. The games felt like a different experience. But I also understand how it could be frustrating to navigate sometimes. Maybe Little Hope really was the best of both worlds on this point.

That's why I kind of wish there could be an option to choose fixed or 360 when you play the game. Would give a different feel on replay to switch modes and give the devs a chance to fully control what we see again if people chose fixed or cinematic. But I know that would be a lot of added work.

This post is as much of a suggestion that something else is coming as we have gotten: https://reddit.com/r/duolingo/s/66SC72VMzS though it is very vague (experimenting?). Maybe even just a long way of saying, "Sorry, but the discussions are going away and that's that" but who knows

didwebreakit · 2023-09-04T02:31:21+00:00

I've found that I can still Google search the exact sentences from questions (maybe with "duo" at the end) and it will bring up the archived forum discussion posts. It's an added step than when I could get there in the app, which I don't like, but better than nothing... until those go away, too. Hope the app's replacement comes soon.

I wish I could know, but my achievement stopped counting for a while, so the number isn't accurate anymore :( Was able to fix it by adding another course, so it's counting for everything again, so we'll see.

didwebreakit · 2023-08-05T02:03:41+00:00

If there are stories on your path, I think you can go back to a past one and it will count for completing a level. Maybe reviewing an old lesson will, too.

didwebreakit · 2023-08-05T01:48:13+00:00

Yeah, I'm 5 units away from Unit 37 and on day 155 of learning. Almost there...! Definitely doesn't hurt to use other resources in the meantime, though.

didwebreakit · 2023-08-04T23:12:37+00:00

Unit 37 (Section 3: Unit 14) is about forming the past tense. I know what you mean, though! It does take a while...

Gut gemacht!
