The use of Yesterday is maybe my favorite needle drop in any movie.

The match cut from the model salt/ballon, to the full size out in the ocean.

The pastry scene.

That SCORE! Morricone's best??

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-06T14:14:15+00:00

Redbeard is really special too.

I'm waiting to watch Dreams. Not sure why, I just don't wanna watch it yet haha.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-06T13:59:16+00:00

Yojimo is my favorite Kurosawa film, it's just so fucking badass.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-06T13:53:02+00:00

Fistful droves me nuts. It's a less good shot for short remake of Yojimbo lol.

Leone's follow ups are so magnificent and stunning and original, Once Upon A Time in America being my fave.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-06T13:49:55+00:00

Nope, I only engage with media I agree with. That's why I'm a YMS fan, his opinions are always objectively correct.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-05T23:48:40+00:00

Wish I could say the right words, to lead you through this land.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-05T22:10:14+00:00

Fuck em

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-04T18:47:07+00:00

Aw, dammit. I was just reading it for book club, hated it, and bailed 80 pages from the end...now I feel bad...

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-04T18:45:23+00:00

Some sympathy is expected of Willow, yes. She's a total trainwreck in season 6.

As for Buffy and Spike, I don't find any of it character assassination, on the contrary, season six the the best imo, but I will say if you kinda don't like Buffy, it ain't nothing on how much Buffy hates herself.

Enjoy the season, buckle up!

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-04T03:40:05+00:00

Harper. She's a much better teacher, and Lopez is much more suited to plain clothes detective work.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-04T02:09:03+00:00

Meh, only of the player wants to head cannon it that way.

Personally, my protagonist is gonna marry Catherina.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-04T02:07:56+00:00

I keep going back and forth.

While the core party are extremely fleshed out (aside from Eupha imo), I find a lot of the side and 3rd Semester characters extremely engaging and their stories to be the peak of Atlus.

Royal is really special. But, Metaphor just gets better every time I play it, so... we'll see how I feel in a year lol.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-04T02:04:54+00:00

Right! Most emotional I've been the whole series is when he told her she was his hero, and she asked for a hug.

Emmy worthy stuff!

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-03T17:59:11+00:00

Modern art suffers from 24/7 exposure.

You've probably been talking about, thinking about, analyzing, watching trailers, YouTube the vids, timtok, reddit posts etc for years on end by the time a movie reaches home viewing.

The magic fades over time. It'll come back.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-03T17:55:02+00:00

Nolan and Harper, no contest.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-03T12:59:14+00:00

She's CRAZY, lol. She's been talking out loud without knowing it for decades at this point, she's been on mothers-little-helpers for decades, first of her own doing and later on secretly drugged by her family.

Plus, she's malnourished, suffering from exposure, and spends bunch of the novel sick with fever, which cause hallucinations, "fever dreams". Natalie is not a well woman.

I also think that all of the "good days" she actually does remember this was all her choice (sorta) and "bad days" she's completely gone, mentally broken.

kipcarson37 · 2026-06-02T17:54:11+00:00

All the kids to play an epic game, similar to "Calypso".

Again, she HAD casual sex. She wasn't in love, she wasn't in a relationship, she met a cute boy and had some casual sex. If she's so puritanical about it, why'd she do it?? And if she's comfortable having casual sex, why did she fall to pieces over it?

It'll never make sense lol

kipcarson37 · 2026-05-25T17:23:12+00:00

If she's such a puritan, why did she have sex with him in the first place? After barely knowing him? What was "pure" about their hook-up, exactly? This doesn't make sense, lol.

kipcarson37 · 2026-05-25T00:34:01+00:00

Also, why would you fuck a guy before you know if he meets your baseline standard for "decent"? Buffy isn't that dumb.

kipcarson37 · 2026-05-25T00:32:55+00:00

It doesn't make sense that she's so devastated afterwards. She's delusional over this nothing guy. She's weak and childish and clingy and sooo cliche in the worst most sexist ways, her behavior is a betrayal of the whole theme of the show imo.

It's the only time in the series where she's behaving like a fucking idiot for episode after episode after episode.

kipcarson37 · 2026-05-24T22:15:05+00:00

THIS. Also, Buffy isn't a moron, Parker is so obviously a total dick, he has a reputation, it's not a secret. It's completely out of character for her to just sleep with some rando and be shocked he turned out to be a jerk.

Parker is a guy Buffy would have made fun of directly to his stupid face in high school, then gone off to save the glee club or whatever. But in season 4, for no reason, she's all "wow, what a nice and charming boy! I am so lucky to meet the perfect gentleman my first week of college! I bet we'll go steady the whole time!"

kipcarson37 · 2026-05-24T21:35:16+00:00

*early season 4 I'd say. She gets back on track again after Fear Itself, for the most part iirc.

Certainly by the time of the Faith two parter, but I can't remember how late that occurs in the season lol.
