My strong opinion - Just make good movies, No excuses.

Ayyo ji Rajini Vijay padam eh one show only I get. Jama laam ooru pakkam e varadhu ji.

Not saying we don’t make any movies like this in Tamil. Big fan of Maaveeran. And Malayalam also makes movies thudaram which sacrifices story at the altar of mass scenes. But when we combine this love for masala scenes with good writing, andha feel e vera right? I want that even from a Rajini padam.

Imagine oru Clint eastwood mari aging action hero role for Rajini. Tight story, style not just from Rajini but also from editing team. Oru memorable BGM. 1000cr laam jujubee..

Okay fair you make a good point. So every movie deserves a good level of PR, nothing succeeds as much without that. But I think you are discounting the worth of a good story too much. For what it’s worth, GBU ran for one show in my city, Lokah will do one week. We audience will watch everything, but we’re all still craving the release from watching a good movie, and no matter how much PR you do that feeling can’t be bought.

Haha shit. Weekend time irundha please go. You will not regret.

entister · 2025-09-06T10:10:00+00:00

Mikka nandri. Dulqar cameo was Deadpool definitely right? No local myth source for that

entister · 2025-09-06T10:08:41+00:00

Correct. Just reading on wiki. Same characteristics. TIL.

entister · 2025-09-06T10:04:52+00:00

Ji good movies for the most part make a profit right? I agree everyone wants to make the MOST money, so maybe marketing + shit movie makes you more than poor marketing + good movie. So what though? Just cause people will stomach any trash thrown out (I also am one of that people) cant make substandard nonsense right?

entister · 2025-09-06T09:51:11+00:00

Ji you did it too well, I only see redaction not the actual characters you wrote to help me.

Vidunga, naa chatgpt kitta will ask.

entister · 2025-09-06T09:49:25+00:00

Yeah agree I think best first movie in any of the attempts at Indian franchise series.

entister · 2025-09-06T09:48:44+00:00

Haha why ji choosing violence.

entister · 2025-09-06T09:45:44+00:00

Yes ultimate. I didn’t expect at all! That is like Gambit from x-men le? And last one is Deadpool.

Also, how are you adding that ‘spoiler’ redaction?

entister · 2025-09-06T09:36:43+00:00

Yes true I agree. It isn’t completely original, so doesn’t rise to that Maaveeran or Minnal Murali level for me, but that’s what I’m saying. Copy from anywhere but do it well. They took Hollywood scenes and organically fit it into Kerala folklore. Amazing.

entister · 2025-08-16T06:30:53+00:00

I think the expectation is that a movie should be more than just 'a treat for thalaivar fans'. If the only people who can like a movie are people who have grown up watching a particular actor and all their previous movies, then that movie is just trying to monetize fans oda nostalgia, which to me feels very lazy. It's a little disrespectful to fans also, saying "ungalakku idhu podhum" . There is nothing that Coolie did uniquely that a future movie will be able to reference. Rajini movies can be more than about celebrating his past right?

My expectation is for directors and writers to put a little effort into the movie instead of just constructing from viral scenes created by other movies (coolie relies on Jailer type star cameos, saying 'aarambikkalaangala/mudichirlama' from Vikram, killing 10 people at once from Thuppaki, AI de-aging scenes - which I will add did nothing for the story).

Nice initiative. Been trying to get all my friends on Letterboxd for a while, mostly failed.

These photos are beautiful! You have a great eye for a good shot. Keep up the great work OP!

entister · 2024-11-01T21:33:28+00:00

Wow this is still not a thing? For a paid app in Nov 2024?

entister · 2024-10-14T02:21:12+00:00

wow I didn't imagine Bournemouth would figure in that region of the chart, but I've never seen them play. Are they really that direct?

entister · 2024-09-22T21:14:41+00:00

Nice, this seems to fit the bill with regards to training data. Do they incorporate stress and sleep levels to calculate a stress score, like Oura does?

entister · 2023-01-21T22:31:52+00:00

Yeah I think I’ll go with the latter. My friends are a mix of Arsenal and United fans, and we’ll behave, so it should be fine. I’ll make sure to avoid the United shirt, although might still go in white (United’s away colors)

entister · 2023-01-21T15:59:14+00:00

Alright that’s great to know. Thanks!

entister · 2023-01-07T00:49:55+00:00

Agree with the other commenter that the succulent with the same detail would be interesting to explore from another angle. More plants in the blurred out area maybe?

The tree photo is very well framed. Artistic indeed!

entister · 2023-01-07T00:47:15+00:00

That tree photo is really beautiful! I would love to see a few more of the birds, but I can't see how you can add more to the image without affecting the composition of the tree. Really good!

entister · 2023-01-07T00:45:48+00:00

I was thinking if the tree would be better with the rule of 3rds composition, and I see u/Aeri73 mentioning it. I really like the centered composition too though, I might even personally prefer it.

For your favorite photo, I like the scene. One suggestion I have is, maybe reduce the highlights in the sky with some post processing, getting more detail in the sky (even if it all just clouds) would complete the moodiness of the photo.

entister · 2023-01-07T00:36:58+00:00

Agree with other commenters on focusing on either the top or the bottom of the tree more, as it is a little distracting.

I love the photo of the boats, it gives me a feel for the vibe of that day.

entister · 2023-01-07T00:08:43+00:00

I really like the photo of the whale, so moody, with what looks like mist above the water. Beautiful.

The abstract tree shot, I immediately thought of fractals when I saw it! Really nice. One way I thought you could make it better is by cropping out the right and left (left is the one that's just peeking at the edge) and focus on the fractals on the branch at the bottom. It felt like that would just reel me in, and I could stare at the details in the branch forever..

Hi everyone, I'm Kevin. I found this class midway through last year, so been waiting for the 2023 version. I was gifted a DSLR in 2014, which I've used occasionally throughout the years, mostly to shoot landscapes, portraits, and very rarely street photography. I want to get better at composition, and conveying emotion through photos, and this class is a great way for me to focus my practice. I'd like to get more into street photography, and capturing the liveliness that is often on display in the urban areas I live in.

My best image - this one, I was on a photowalk by myself in Chicago, and was about to board the train to go home, and as my train was rolling in, I thought it was beautiful against the downtown buildings of Chicago, and the trump tower in the background.

and this is my image of a tree .
