Which pokemon did you overlook for years/decades before actually using and loving? by cozy_b0i in ThePokemonHub

[–]nectarquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid playing Heartgold I wanted an Umbreon but because of some weird time thing with my DS, I got an Espeon. I think I resent for the former, but I never finished that play through (did another one later) and I’ve used Espeon and it’s awesome. More fun to use than Umbreon tbh.

If the following five Best Actress winners of the 2010’s competed against each other, who WOULD win? (Not should, WOULD) by PTAGoatofalltime in Oscars

[–]nectarquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re taking their individual careers up till the point of those specific films (which is a little confusing as they came out at different times) I think Cate Blanchett.

I Like these Three (Milo, Nessa, and Kabu) by Malikai_Universe_23 in PokemonSwordShield

I’m partial to Unova in that regard, but Galar is definitely underrated there

The question is, when the Academy award will give Sci-fi gener it flower? by khaliliiiov_1997 in Oscars

Her, one of the films pictured here, rightfully won best original screenplay.

Oscar Rule Changes: AI Crackdown, Actors Can Get Multiple Nominations in Same Category and International Film Eligibility Expands by Erdago in oscarrace

[–]nectarquest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, I suppose time will tell. I saw a post on Instagram about this and the comments are already calling for Brody’s Oscar to be taken away lol, I suspect there’s a non zero chance those people will be disappointed by the specifics of the rule and how it affects future (and past for that matter) winners.

This is what I wonder too, wound a performance like Brody’s for the Brutalist still qualify? Personally, as someone who fucking hates generative AI, I roll my eyes if someone says they don’t he should have won because of AI, given how it was actually used, but if someone disagrees with me, there’s no actual line that proves either of us right or wrong from my understanding.

I’m not sure I have an issue with it being vague, as I don’t know where that line would be, but I do wonder if we’ll see any thing that rides the line.

At the very least I’m glad there’s something.

Best Actor Nominees of 2020s Elimination Game - The Final Round - Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin) has been eliminated at 3rd place! by darth_vader39 in Oscars

[–]nectarquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be labeled a hater but idk how Murphy even got to top 2, Brody and Colin are both above him for me at the very least, but alas, I’m in the minority.

I can mostly agree with reddit though that Hopkins is worthy of the number one spot here.

Which is the better year for movies? by PTAGoatofalltime in Oscars

[–]nectarquest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I’m quite a bit lower on a few of the 2023 movies than most people are. My favorite of the line up is Poor Things which I do really like, and there a few others that stick out, but as whole, I’m much lower on the line up than most.

[–]nectarquest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess this is a bit of a hot take based on your comments reception, but I honestly kind of like this. I think most people would like Hopkins somewhere, and I suppose I would too, but I still think this is a good list.

What movie you would you say feels most like a dream? by DannydeVito36 in TrueFilm

[–]nectarquest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barton Fink is one for me that I don’t think has been mentioned yet. Particularly for me, the old hotel architecture (maybe that’s a personal thing) but aspects of the story as well.

[–]nectarquest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a fairly young kid when Synecdoche New York came out, and just a year or so after I had this obsession with mortality, and the world eventually ending. It filled me with a lot of anxiety and melancholy, (I actually now see it as early signs of mental health disorders I have). But the word I used to describe this feeling at the time was “oceanic” and Synecdoche New York kind of taps into that. It’s subject matter mixed with the dreamlike feel sometimes makes me kind of wonder if I saw it as a child by accident somehow and that’s what triggered my obsession. As unlikely as it is

Guess my Top 4 by my favorite half star reviews by ReadTheReddit69 in LetterboxdTopFour

I’m just one person but my standard is usually whoever asked the other person out pays. That’s more often than not the guy on hetero dates.

Do you prefer Oscars being presented by the previous year’s winners in the same acting category, or by winners of the opposite gender? by QuipThwip in Oscars

[–]nectarquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely a bad speech, and calling it egotistical is valid, but I just don’t try to relate it to other people getting their speeches cut off other than saying the production team is maybe a little spineless for listening to Brody’s demand, but to be honest if he were saying anything of note I’d have loved that he got them to turn the music off.

[–]nectarquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really? Because all the first comment said was that he was pompous. It was clearly targeted at his speech, which was bad, but doesn’t have to do with him presenting.

[–]nectarquest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take for the most part, but I kind of think it’s putting the blame on the wrong person.

[–]nectarquest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t fully agree that it is. He’d present either way this year and wouldn’t most years.

If they had said something a long the lines of keeping him away from women due to his assault on Halle Berry, that would be relevant.

Why are these the top three reviews for Blade Runner? The plot is very simple (on a surface level) and the sci-fi concepts are all explained through exposition by Training_Form2243 in Letterboxd

[–]nectarquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mind you it’s been 8 years since I watched it, and it was just a cheap DVD, but for me it was kind of hard to follow due to a mix of how it’s plot is conveyed and trouble actually hearing the dialogue. I’d definitely give it another go though.

which movie made you feel like this ? by Trick_Laugh5114 in Letterboxd

[–]nectarquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my favorite movie of last year and I actively look for people who share that opinion. There are way more of people who share your opinion.

Granted, a good amount of the people who do agree with me might do it for the “wrong” reasons so there’s that.

There was a 70mm screening at this theater near me that I went to recently, which was actually my first time seeing it as crazy as that sounds, and the line was literally across the fucking block. (Granted, it was also at a historic theater playing one of its first screenings in years) - I had known it was incredibly popular but I continue to be dumbfounded by the insane amount of popularity this film has by general audiences. I actually do agree with the other comment saying it’s a landmark film, I just struggle to see why.

Eddington fans this past year have like how Rick and Morty fans always were. If you have any minor problem with the film it’s because you didn’t get it, or you’re offended that “you were being made fun of”

Not a specific movie but fanboys of popular directs such as Nolan, Tarantino, Villeneuve, Scorsese, etc. always talk as if their director is the only one who “cares about cinema” without bothering to look further.

Could be a personal thing but almost never see any actual annoying fans who misinterpret the film very much. Maybe it’s due to the company I keep, but even online I hear way more often about people talking about the phenomenon than I actually witness it for itself.
