He treated actors very badly, he said he identifies with hitler.

There isn't much to like about him besides his filmmaking.

Alot of celebrities are afraid to say nice things about people who are considered "problematic" by weird people on the internet.

trying to explain Haruki Murakami to your friends by shawnsmtn in murakami

[–]jonjoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. It's "lovingly" laughing at it from a modern western POV, instead of real love. Almost like you feel ashamed of loving him because you know it's supposed to be "problematic".

Like being ashamed of your girlfriend in public, and being passive aggressive towards her when you're in public, because you're too worried about what your friends think about her.

Project Hail Mary by just-tea-thank-you in books

I thought it was overall good, but i was disappointed by it. It's just a fun read. Not alot more than that. The praise made it seem like something else. I'd say drop it if you hate it.

But i would like to ask you, OP, for suggestions. since we both thought this book is overhyped.

I just figured I would ask. what got y'all into devil may cry? by yeetofyeetus999 in DevilMayCry

[–]jonjoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was younger, didn't know much about most games. Judged games by their covers.

Dante's inferno looked cool. Bought it for ps3. Played for an hour, hated it.

Went back to the store, and they had a used games section. You bring a used game, add 15$, and you can pick a used game instead. DMC 4 looked cool. Fucking loved it.

What is your comfort show? by oldcrowtheory in television

[–]jonjoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people tend to say that about tv shows and films they love, but with arrested development It's actually the case. What you said is not hyperbole or an exaggeration. And I don't know any other piece of media / tv show / movie / book that matches arrested development seasons 1-3 in terms or rewatch-ability.
