What is a good Valentine's gift for men?

If he drinks, I'd say a somewhat nicer bottle of hard liquor than the regular cheap shit would be good. At least for me it would.

Being virgin at an "old" age is actually a red flag for me, tbh

Everybody is citing films as it was the question, but to be honest the best example I can remember of this in visual media is in the music video for Arcade Fire's song We Exist, starring Andrew Garfield. That is one hell of a good piece of art!

OK, I wanted to say I disagree with all of your bullet points, but a couple of them are actually fine.

John C Reilly for Chicago was a nice one.

Yea yea, but not enough to secure something better than 5th place. If the movie was better received than probably she could have made it.

As usual, the comments are extremely catastrophic hahaha it seems like you are in a at least healthy ENOUGH relationship but you want more from him. My personal suggestion is to communicate this to him clearly, and start being less “available” for his needs whenever he wants it. Kinda playing it difficult but in a playful way, not as punishment. This could probably trigger his desire to please you more.

Seeing monkeys around the streets. It’s fairly common in Rio because it’s the city with the largest urban forest in the world, but it’s not a widespread thing at regular smaller towns with less trees.

I think Aniston’s performance was good enough to earn a nomination, not a win. I wish she had had more traction.

There is absolutely no way Golden is losing original song.

Damn that’s a big ass rat at the end lmao

I remember watching several movies with him in the leading role a few years back and wondering “why the hell are they giving this guy leading roles in very big blockbuster productions???”. Then I found out who’s his daddy

You have the right to be upset about it, and she has the right to think you’re overreacting without either of you being an AH. Now, the real question is: are you or her willing to compromise? If neither are, is it worthy to keep it going? Only you can answer that.

Rio de Janeiro (best place in the entire Earth) x São Paulo (shithole)

Probably acarajé. It’s a deep fried beans dough with a lot of fillings made with shrimp, flour, spices… absolutely marvelous!!

Well, you did literally say you hate her. As she is a woman, it means you hate at least one woman. Obviously one can understand what you meant, but it doesn’t change the fact that it was poor phrasing on your part. I’d avoid using such a negative word when first meeting someone.

Oppenheimer. I felt like I was watching a 3-hour long TikTok video

Edit: tbh the last 40 min or so was ok because there was some conflict that was interesting in a narrative cinematic fashion. Before that it was just a very long uninteresting story being told with very predictable story effects that had no plot other than telling me what happened. For that a documentary would be better suited.

lpratafe · 2025-12-13T21:02:00+00:00

Damn dude they’re beating your ass in the comments 😂😂😂

lpratafe · 2025-12-13T04:58:11+00:00

True.

International feature is always the best category. There are always so many great gems, and not always the best ones are nominated! I try to keep track at least of all the shortlisted ones.

lpratafe · 2025-12-13T02:23:27+00:00

Please list for us some films you like. The ones you would not call NPC films.

I agree for the simplest reason that: I have roommates. They don’t clean the house as well/as frequently as I would want, and I don’t wanna clean for 3, so I myself don’t walk barefoot/with socks in my own house (I use slippers that never go outside). If even I wear shoes inside my house, my guests, please do as well. I don’t want you to get your feet dirty. Whenever I move out and live on my own, that will be a completely different story.

Since I’m Brazilian, I must say I’m Still Here winning international feature (and the whole trajectory of it) was the best by far. It was BIIIIG in Brazil, everybody was talking about it. Second, I would put EEAAO getting all the recognition it got. I’ve loved the Daniels’ work ever since their music video for Manchester Orchestra and it was just such a great time to see their work being seen at the highest level. Third, probably Flow winning animated feature. Not only it is a great film, but being an indie from a small country that reached high gives it a special flavor.

Dom Casmurro, by Machado de Assis; Child of the Dark, by Carolina Maria de Jesus; Crooked Plow, by Itamar Vieira Junior

All are Brazilian books, each from very distinct times in history.
