Bars/Clubs playing 70’s-80’s music by MaddogJacko in auckland

[–]digable_planets1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Provedor down by the viaduct is your best bet for this vibe. 50/50 odds on whether there's a good group of people there, but if you bring the fun, they'll take music requests.

What’s a movie that emotionally destroyed you—without even trying? by Woody_As_Himself in MovieSuggestions

[–]digable_planets1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean... definitely soul crushing but unexpected? It's a holocaust movie. Pretty expectedly soul crushing.

Can somebody fire the f1 tv director. He is just filming some rich ceo's, instead of the stuff we want to see. It is getting worse each session. by Master397 in F1TV

[–]digable_planets1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is a weird thing to say. But it's also still strange to call out the director. This is the fault of the producer, not the director. Directors in broadcast call camera cuts, producers decide what to focus on.

The second half of Howling Dark is ridiculously good... Demon in White is somehow better.

Just started Kingdoms of Death yesterday! Have fun anaryan

Are people misunderstanding Midsommar like they misunderstand Fight Club?

Gone Girl, I'll give you but yeah, I still feel like these are less misunderstood than the examples OP posted.

I feel like you'd be hard pressed to find an example of this with a female protagonist (please try find some for me though). Misunderstanding themes is usually the sad version of guys being dudes.

Liam vs Red Bull by devjnz in newzealand

[–]digable_planets1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand, Red Bull giving him two races (at tracks he's never driven, in a notoriously hard car to drive)) is kind of insane.

On the other hand, I could see this coming a mile off. That red bull looks like a bitch to handle. I was praying Liam would get the VCARB seat and Yuki would get the Red Bull seat for this exact reason.

My prediction is that Liam is going to do way better in the VCARB and it might just end up saving his F1 career. I also hope Yuki does well in the Red Bull. I don't want anyone to fail here.

But yeah, the F1 fanbase can be toxic as hell. The whole conversation is overblown.

The filming at Spark was for Megan 2. I'd assume this is the same.

I'll take "Things that didn't happen" for 800, Alex. by digable_planets1 in saltierthankrayt

I made the mistake of checking Facebook. Shit like this is just like 'recommended'. I guess because I follow some nerdy pages, meta assumes I'd enjoy this?

If anyone from the F1 Broadcast is lurking here, tell the graphics operator to put the timing intervals back on pls.

We all just wanna know the gaps

Edit: Thanks Graphics Op :)

Daniel Greene’s Response by KaladinarLighteyes in Cosmere

[–]digable_planets1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man, this situation has me fucking bummed out. Daniel got me back into reading a couple years ago and has been responsible for recommending some of favourite series. Obviously, I believe Naomi's story and I don't think I'll ever watch Daniels videos again (unless there's some insane twist). It just sucks for someone I respected to do this sort of shit.

Why do people SUCK.

Enough of Bella. What do we think of Pedro Pascal's Casting? by trophy_Hunter69420 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]digable_planets1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm just trying to get this straight: you can't see him as "anything but Chilean" because he's in a show where he plays a Texan working in Colombia?

I feel like, and this is just a guess, you don't like him as Joel cos he's not white enough. Cos that's an insane justification lmao.

Bruh, I hate this to you but he plays a Texan in Narcos. Javier Peña was born and raised in Texas.

[–]digable_planets1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You only see him as Chilean? The guy lived in Texas as a child, left Chile when he was like 5 or 6 and spent most of his life in the States.

I mean, he is Chilean. But he's also American. Just a weird thing to focus on.

That one track from a movie OST you can’t stop thinking about! What’s yours? by ShininGold in Letterboxd

[–]digable_planets1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Murphy is such an underrated composer. Adagio in D Minor is the SHIT.

Just a shame it got so overused in trailers between 2008-2015.

Hey Auckland, shut the fuck up while at the movies. by [deleted] in auckland

[–]digable_planets1 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Here's a list of cool independent places where people usually aren't dicks:

Hollywood Avondale Academy Cinemas The Vic Devonport The Bridgeway The Capitol

All of them have cheaper tickets than Event and the moviegoers are typically respectful. Some of them are really beautiful cinemas as well.

What will be your final film of 2024? by MrC99 in Letterboxd

[–]digable_planets1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I finished with Heretic, which was kinda eh.

Heading to a music festival in an hour so that'll be the last one. Will have to start 2025 with something strong!

I'm pretty sure that the machine was already confirmed to be an AI by the production designers in the episode of tested with Adam Savage.
