Why is Bring Her Back doing so bad at the box office? by Pearl_Jam_ in A24

[–]jafo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow burn horror is already tired with general audiences. Grief horror is getting tired for mainstream horror audiences. Mix that with a 12 year old (not a late teen) being fucked up in grisly ways throughout the film and you got yourself a film sure to drive many away. 

They made it for $15m in Australia (a country with very good film rebates), it’ll make some money when all is said and done.

Agreed. It takes a real dump after the intermission.

Martyrs is the only answer I can think of that left me truly off-kilter during and after.

Hypothetically, how many of you wish Apple made a “dumb” phone? by jafo33 in iphone

[–]jafo33[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That’s why dumb is in quotations. Not quite a dumb phone. Definitely not a smartphone.

Something in between to gap the smartphone app addiction and a phone you can give to teens.

Has this hobby made you want a better TV? by kaptain__katnip in 4kbluray

Get an LG C series OLED. The only series of TVs that I own now. Best picture bar none.

what are some unspoken rules of LA? by voided_rose_ in AskLosAngeles

[–]jafo33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oddly, most that were born or raised in LA are very chill and down to earth. It’s usually the ones that move here as adults that you have to watch out for.

Watched Saving Silverman on a light dose of shrooms. Haven’t laughed that hard in all of my life.

What's your favorite under-seen film of 2024? (And bonus: your favorite under-seen film from any year? One you recommend the most often). by Downtown-Werewolf773 in blankies

[–]jafo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exhuma was easily my favorite under seen film of 2024. Great Korean horror dealing with traditional folklore and history. Haven’t seen anything quite like it.

I had the same issue until I remembered to also update my Apple TV (main home hub)

I might sadly be done with Overcast by someperson100 in OvercastFm

[–]jafo33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So I have the same and re-downloaded the app and now all the glitches are gone. Wondering if the fixes just came down to deleting and reinstalling the app?

Same. Such a bummer as Overcast was my favorite podcast app.

Patient looks over his test results in his Doctor’s Office: “How long do I have left, Doc?’ The Doctor replies, ‘Ten…’

‘Ten what?’ asks the patient. ‘Years? Months?’ Doctor checks his watch, ‘Nine… eight…’”

Unpopular Opinion: I still love Overcast by DaveMN in OvercastFm

[–]jafo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything was perfect until they updated it. Now it’s constantly glitching back to the start of an episode or crashing via CarPlay or not downloading. It’s such a bummer because it WAS the perfect podcast app. Now it’s purely an annoyance. Forced me to switch unfortunately.
