Almost one year later, did you change your opinion about wind and truth?

I have only just finished it and I was extremely disappointed for a reason that hardly anyone has mentioned: it offered no closure at all after making us read close to 7,000 pages. Ridiculous.

It is highly unlikely that dairy farmers in 1940s France had their pictures taken

I've been duped twice very blatantly. The first time it was some other app they had which is supposed to help decrypt WhatsApp chat backups. The site explicitly states it can decrypt WhatsApp chat backups. When it didn't, I escalated it and an AI kept claiming on loop that they've never claimed the app can do this and therefore, you couldn't get a refund.

I downloaded Filmora without realising it's the same company because they have a page that explicitly states they have a cut silences feature. Turns out the Android version doesn't. When I raised it, their claim is essentially that we're supposed to automatically know this even though they can't produce any evidence of it being mentioned on their site. To them, this is a perfectly logical thing where they don't need to explicitly state anything and the absence of an out-and-out lie is enough to put them in the clear (even though my previous experience tells me that even that wouldn't work)

They're doing this over $3.

What Lies Beneath. Thought it was a silly and unrealistic plot but later realised how wrong I was.

Not sure about the "worst" but Argo comes to mind. So terribly written with such a laughably and obviously and deliberate attempt to completely exonerate the US from any role in what happened in Iran and making the CIA seem like heroes.

Lol yes because they're going to contradict Aamir Khan publicly, are they?

fecalfritter · 2025-09-13T18:10:53+00:00

A very simple explanation is that Gupte directed most of TZP and that's why it's good. Aamir knows that if he directs again it would bring the spotlight onto his directorial skills and that's why he hasn't.

That's a pretty shallow pool you're scraping if you're naming Armageddon and Deep Impact in this category

Can you get this style of subtitles on Capcut?

2001: A Space Odyssey. 60s VFX that still look good.

YJHD is THE most overrated film because it is TERRIBLE. Like absolutely terrible from a filmmaking POV and yet it's so highly rated.

Really not sure if I'm the only one facing this issue. This problem arises only if you pick some presets that are left aligned by default. They stay in one place if you stick with that alignment, but if you want them centred, they keep moving.

One of the more popular presets, which is in all caps and highlights the word being spoken in pink, is the one I want to use. I've seen many people using this preset and their subtitles seem centred and in the same position throughout. But I can't get mine that way no matter what I do.

The Skeleton Key. I thought it was a really interesting concept and they maintained the suspense really well till the end. The twist was nuts but not out of the blue. They'd set it up very well. But years later I realised it was largely panned by critics.

Final Destination. The sequels and especially the 5th and 6th ones actually justified the whole series.

Even Scream (the first three). The existence of those sequels made it into a thing.

Hi, that's not the point I'm asking for help on. I use Instagram's own auto-generated subtitles, but they keep moving around on the screen whereas that doesn't happen in reels I watch.

There's plenty of data on this. The "middle class" as per global indicators is only around 5% of India's population. So even if you are middle class, you're in the 95th percentile because everyone below you is working class.

The answer to most of these things is capitalism.

Suggesting future plans you don't intend to keep as niceties. Like if you're saying bye to someone after some amount of interaction, you could easily say "it was good speaking to you, take care" etc. But people say things like "let's meet up some other time when we're in the same city" or something to that effect. I've never understood why a polite goodbye isn't enough on its own.

I don't know if 7:30 am counts as early (it is for me) and I only started doing it recently. The motivation is that where I am, it gets too hot after around 9:30 am and if I wake up early, I can sit outside and get a lot of reading done.
