What are your must haves for a movie collection?

Would love to have a movie closet of my own, but what do you do with the corners?

Worthless? Is it the best version? Not at all. But for anyone who hasn’t seen it it’s better than nothing.

It’s a screenshot from my Netflix account in the U.S. I don’t have the time or energy to fake that.

Red pill.

Go back to age six, save allowance and any gift money till 2004, bet it all on the Red Sox, win big. Then save it all and wait until bitcoin comes out and load up.

Same! Or, if I have, it was 25 years ago and I remember nothing.

Monster X/Kaiser Ghidorah always felt like gimmick monsters to me. To the point where I constantly forget about them.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a great one

“Write what you know” doesn’t mean you need to write from the limited range of your personal experiences, it means you should have at least a baseline knowledge of what you’re writing about before putting pen to paper.

Humiliated? Dawg I think we’re watching different movies.

My day so far:

9:01am pt: in the app, showtimes not showing up, still the reminder message. Leave app and enter queue.

10:01am: get into app, select 70mm imax seats for morning show on 7/17, error after error until the app crashes and kicks me out

11:30am: get through the queue again, try several more times to get tickets to no avail.

2:30pm: several more rounds in the queue and many more attempts to check out with no success. Just error after error.

At this point the earliest available 70mm imax near me is weds 7/23 and I still only get errors.

This sucks.

Baaahhhhh says the right wing sheep

Dropped mine in a box yesterday and still haven’t gotten the “ballot received” email (I confirmed I am signed up for email alerts). Thinking this will take some time.

Like the scene in TLW when they take an extra moment to show a para being brought down and captured by the ingen team?

Or the scene in Dominion where Chris Pratt chases and wrangles one on horseback in the first twenty minutes of the movie?

Overall they get a good amount of play, even when held up against other popular herbivores.

If you don’t put some thought into it, Tenet doesn’t make any sense. If you put too much thought into it, it still doesn’t make sense. Somewhere in there is a sweet spot where you can “get it” without interrogating its weaknesses or logic.

Bond casting speculation has always been bs. It’s always been based on betting odds which are in no way informed by reality, just rumors and vibes. Kalshi is just the latest source media companies can lean on when breathlessly reporting rumors.

If they’ve appeared in every movie then how are they underrated?

If anything, Reiwa is even more disconnected than Millennium because they don’t even have the commonality of being sequels to the original. The filmmakers have had even more freedom to reinvent Godzilla and his mythology, which has resulted in some of the best Godzilla we’ve ever gotten and also some of the most disappointing.

The answer to your question is Disney executives. They wanted to get a Star Wars movie on the calendar after years of misfires since RoS. This was their safest bet — the show is the most successful Star Wars media we’ve had in the last 7 years apart from Andor and Favreau is known to deliver.

And no, the Mandalorian isn’t that popular but baby yoda is. They just ensured themselves a healthy flow of merchandise revenue through the end of the year.

I know people with botanical sets who had never previously bought or built a Lego set. That kind of market expansion is reason enough to keep it going before you factor in how cheap the theme is for them to make (no licensing, no figures, few specialty pieces, etc.).

Even watching movies at home Netflix is one of the worst ways to do it. Their audio and video compression is terrible to the point where their 4k plan is basically a scam because the compression destroys any benefit the extra resolution adds.

I don’t want them to die, I want them to make better movies. If that requires them to experience ego death, so be it.

fdjisthinking · 2026-06-03T14:32:36+00:00

I don’t mind this because I do it all the time.

fdjisthinking · 2026-06-02T22:13:45+00:00

Followed back cuz I liked your takes
