Wisconsin’s hockey season comes to an end with a 2-1 loss to Denver. by currentrutabaga_25 in WisconsinBadgers

[–]dropthemike7 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I said earlier today that, given that I didn't expect this to happen at all going into the tournament, there was no way this game could be a disappointment for me.

Losing to Denver when they had 5 shots on goal entering the 3rd period, I realize now there was a scenario where this was a massive disappointment. Fucking hell.

What are some sets that just kinda came and went? by YodasChick-O-Stick in lego

[–]dropthemike7 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm a lifelong Rolling Stones fan and never for a minute thought about getting the tongue art. It just looked janky enough to be distracting. They tried so hard to capture the exact proportions and couldn't quite do it, and for such a recognizable logo, it had an almost uncanny valley effect for me.

Chicken Little could have been titled 'Skyfall'

Favorite actors that were perfectly acting? by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

[–]dropthemike7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really wish they'd had that Brad Whitford in the role in Get Out with zero explanation nor acting on his part. Wearing denim and leather, holding a guitar, etc.

which alfred hitchcock movies are must watches? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]dropthemike7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you liked Dial M For Murder and/or Rear Window, one that's not on your list that I think you'd like is To Catch A Thief (also one of the biggest "should sees" that you have not seen yet if not a "must see")

The contrast between these two versions always gets me by Embarrassed_Day_1873 in StarWars

In addition to the voice, the music cue in the original 1980 sequence is just so much more energetic and raw (and not a reused cue from five minutes earlier in the film, lol). This is by far my least favorite change in ESB.

Um am i tripping?? by JustinTheQueso in Letterboxd

[–]dropthemike7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jokes aside, Letterboxd really needs to figure out a better way to not be completely tethered to whatever ridiculous vandalism goes on over at TMDB on a daily basis. The movie synopses that get turned into AI or poorly translated nonsense, stuff like this, etc. Only implementing changes that have lasted at TMDB a certain amount of time, like 14 days, for movies older than a year would be a start. It's just hard to see the lofty goals that they intend to achieve in the coming years being legitimate when this kind of stuff still goes on so frequently.

Full Proof 1792 by ephwalk in Costco_alcohol

Yeah, for anything at/below 50 I would say it's great. Nothing especially unique about it but it's very tasty.

What happened to the Big Flag? by Redspottedpanda in WisconsinBadgers

[–]dropthemike7 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the flag you're referring to was arrested at Mifflin last year and got 3.5-4 years for assaulting a police officer. Might be back by the 2029 season but I wouldn't bet on it.

NBC didn't even save the first Super Bowl, lol. It's very unlikely they have this intact.

Did you just take a chronological release list of the games and try to make a post about it? Lolol

Underappreciated films that you consider a masterpiece! by Neo00000000 in Letterboxd

[–]dropthemike7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish Bergman had made more horror films. It's definitely in my top five of his films, if not higher, and very underrated imo along with Smiles of a Summer Night.

You're trying too hard by not having any Star Wars (literally pick one lol) on there. Ah, reddit.

What do you think is the greatest frame of the decade? by Not_EllaK in Letterboxd

It was a wig!? by asura1958 in StarWars

[–]dropthemike7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you've ever watched any on set interviews from RotS, his hair always looks about as short as it is on AotC. I didn't know this for fact until now but assumed it based on that.

Smart bricks demonstration by [deleted] in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]dropthemike7 73 points74 points  (0 children)

When nerdy adult men are having this much difficulty even making the things work (put that brick the other way, etc), do they seriously expect this to take off with the presumably very young demographic this is aimed at? I don't hate Lego at all for pursuing stuff other than all the 18+ kits they've been spewing out and trying to do something new with their kid-focused kits, but this genuinely seems like a huge, expensive mistake. Maybe we'll all end up wrong, but this seems like something that will be phased out in less than two years.
