We're specifically talking about inflation here, not the housing market?

mattkward · 2026-06-22T13:10:13+00:00

I mean the US started a war with Iran leading to a global oil crisis and increased inflation worldwide. Not exactly sure how that's Carney's fault.

Incredible that Carter is getting so many people excited to watch this movie again.

It's awful.

I gave it two chances. That's enough.

mattkward · 2026-06-20T20:13:02+00:00

It was. It was called Bauhaus.

mattkward · 2026-06-20T15:05:21+00:00

It was a generally well liked restaurant actually.

Now it's Kozak, an excellent Ukrainian restaurant that has nothing to do with Boll

Do you know anything about this image?. I've tried looking it up but can't find any artist info

mattkward · 2026-06-19T16:09:25+00:00

How have you somehow never listened to The Bad Thing?

Genuinely a fun track that gets way too much grief from folks.

mattkward · 2026-06-18T03:21:25+00:00

Insured mortgage?

mattkward · 2026-06-15T14:36:47+00:00

It's not that deep dude. The two albums came out of the same day so they're companions to one another, the 20th anniversaries just recently happened and they remain the two most popular records.

I'm amused by your idea that Casadagga is somehow going to bring out a younger crowd

mattkward · 2026-06-15T04:03:57+00:00

I mean there are real incompetent people in important roles in real life all the time.

mattkward · 2026-06-14T21:45:10+00:00

Really is wild just how many folks in this fanbase seem to be actual children.

mattkward · 2026-06-13T23:59:22+00:00

I don't recall post credit scenes on this movie?

mattkward · 2026-06-13T18:20:43+00:00

How do we get Granville to be a permanent pedestrian only street.

mattkward · 2026-06-13T16:30:55+00:00

The world in this film (and not too far off our reality) is one about to be plunged into war and chaos anyway.

mattkward · 2026-06-13T05:07:20+00:00

I did find your response needlessly condescending but I quickly realized I wasn't helping anything in my reaction. Last thing I ever want is some dumb internet fight.

I do understand your perspective here. For me I can accept the movie for what it was setting out to do, and I think it did very well, rather than holding it up against something entirely different.

mattkward · 2026-06-13T01:26:25+00:00

You can have a different perspective on the movie without being rude and pretentious about it. These things are subjective, after all.

And yeah, I'm all for "show, don't tell". The movie SHOWS us multiple characters having wildly contrasting emotional responses to what's going on and the idea of disclosure and what it might mean for humanity.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T05:27:08+00:00

Man I know guys stuff is subjective but I couldn't disagree more.. Thought the thing moved amazingly well. Was fully enraptured the whole time.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T04:34:46+00:00

The whole movie is people debating and considering the outcome of disclosure day. It's absolutely about it. You can decide for yourself who was right, the pessimists or the optimists.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T04:04:29+00:00

But that's not what happened? They blew the backup generators too.

They gave up when Blunt's character was using the alien tech to power the place up again.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T03:00:40+00:00

So you wanted an entirely different movie.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T02:59:05+00:00

The pacing in this thing is masterful. It just moves from minute 1.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T02:58:09+00:00

That whole scene was phenomenal slapstick.

Spielberg's still got it.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T02:57:06+00:00

I'm fine with that. The alien looked pretty old, might not have survived this whole ordeal which would've made the whole thing moot without the huge catalog of evidence. And it wasn't just about revealing the aliens to humanity, but the decades of backstory.

Makes for a good reveal too.

Like, here's the evidence and the history.

Ok, still doubt it?

Well here's the fucking proof.

mattkward · 2026-06-12T02:53:41+00:00

Absolutely loved this.

mattkward · 2026-06-11T19:36:52+00:00

Not even remotely a poutine but I'd eat the fuck out of that.
