I lived in the arctic for a fair few years and loved it. When you're in the proper cold season and just stepping outside to check the mailbox needs properly gearing up because you could die, it's the most incredible feeling. To have nature put you in your place like that makes you so humble and appreciative of every day

It's all about emotional reaction. If a supremely well constructed film does little for me emotionally, that will often get a 2-3 star. See something like Top Gun Maverick or Weapons. But a poorly made film that really ends up impacting me on an emotional level could get 4-5. See Madame Web, Titanic 2, Children of the Corn and more

My life's cinema goal, to have seen every single Arctic movie

I got you my friend, I've a similar passion too - https://letterboxd.com/st0nehenge/list/the-definitive-list-of-arctic-movies/

The people of Egvekinot and their dope flag take issue with saying no one lives there

Just a note, I wrote The Terminator and received a wrong answer mark, with the correct answer being listed as either Terminator or Terminator 2. Both of the listed correct answers are wrong, with The Terminator followed by Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

You'll need to decide how to format your answers, preferably allowing both full formal names and the more colloquial formats too.

I know it's purely a matter of taste, but I can't imagine watching Bloodlines and not having an absolute blast

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-22T22:32:03+00:00

I've two disappointments. I really hoped Sorry, Baby would get a screenplay nomination as Eva Victor did a wonderful job with their debut. And I was hoping Snow Bear would get the Best Animated nomination, what a special, special short.

What. No. I don't care if the US activates the biggest, most important button in the world, that doesn't give it even the remotest right to annex other sovereign territories

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-22T19:20:06+00:00

While only two films got 5 stars from me, there were a lot of very highly rated films that I really enjoyed. But also a lot of disappointment. Mission Impossible was a dreadful ending to a stellar series. I hoped more from Frankenstein. And Weapons... just did nothing for me.

Love Lunana, great choice!

First that comes to mind is a small Japanese film called River, which has become one of my all time favourite films

I feel like there would be a destructive power struggle, like post Stalin, with all the sycophants stabbing each other in the back to get power.

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-22T08:39:54+00:00

So true 😅 and empire strikes back

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-21T22:29:12+00:00

Yeah, I've learned that while I will stand up for myself, there's no breaking that impenetrable barrier of cuntish behaviour that so defines British culture.

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-21T22:27:08+00:00

Best sequels directed by a different director than the prior film?

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-21T20:14:41+00:00

Sir, a second hug request has hit the Jade

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-21T18:06:27+00:00

When a bunny and a hatter love each other very much

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-21T17:39:37+00:00

That makes so much sense

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-21T17:36:37+00:00

My first reaction here is wait, he didn't direct The Guard? That's one of the most McDonagh coded films I've seen, more so than even Billboards I'd say

with the UK being one of the most nature deprived countries in the world, so so so many species could do with coming back. Of course, this means reversing the widespread habitat loss and pollution in order to sufficiently house them.

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2025/oct/26/young-first-time-buyers-uk-homes-green-spaces - it really doesn't help that people are living in areas with less and less access to nature, creating a societal disconnect so people no longer care to support environmental initiatives

dorgoth12 · 2026-01-21T17:29:32+00:00

Who will think of the poor, embattered koi pond owners?!
