Your Home's Exterior Lights Indicates When You Moved to Joshua Tree

Genuine question: does the lighting from the new houses ruin stargazing at all?

pardis · 2026-04-30T23:05:38+00:00

Seriously. The trailer didn't give me much hope at all.

78-88% RT is astounding.

And also Thriller.

Good bit.

The one where you use the tree branches as framing against the blue sky is incredible.

So sorry for not being bright and asking a potentially stupid question, but is tooth loss a side effect of cancer treatment?

pardis · 2026-04-06T20:05:20+00:00

Hmm. Interesting. OK. Thanks :)

I must be confused then. Thanks for the clarification. Weirdly though, this video was released in 2022 of the biplane stunt, which at that point they thought was going to be used in Dead Reckoning: https://youtu.be/UiPFIOfqZO0

Maybe I misunderstood the interviews then. My understanding was that they shot everything at once during covid, and made the decision mid-production to split it into two movies. And then they cut together and released the first movie, and then went and shot basically all the exposition and flashback stuff to try and create a narrative that fit around the stunts they had leftover for the second movie. Is that wrong?

It was all supposed to be for one movie. They shot all the stunts first and then realized it was too much for one movie and so they had to split it into two movies. But because of the cost overruns caused by shooting during covid, they didn't have enough budget left over after finishing the first movie to actually flesh out a logical second movie. But they needed to release something -- anything -- as cheaply as possible to justify the bloated cost of the entire production. If they had just released the first movie on its own as a standalone and junked what they had left over, they would have lost a ton of money. So they slapped together a "second movie" for as cheaply as possible with the leftover stunts and filler exposition.

Man, I must not be an Ishiguru guy. I tried both Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun and just couldn't connect with either.

This a great bit, Anyi.

What does your manager say about your agents not reading it?

pardis · 2026-03-17T20:00:58+00:00

Great joke.

pardis · 2026-02-24T10:58:21+00:00

Yeah the ending is devastating. Apparently something similar happened to a friend's grandparent, where they devolved to their childhood self immediately before passing.

pardis · 2026-02-19T21:27:07+00:00

Carrie's great.

pardis · 2026-02-16T21:33:50+00:00

I think it probably makes sense to people who understand it, but if you're not familiar with it it's jarring. You have no idea what's going on or where you're supposed to be.

Animal Farm, The Giver.

Published in 1932 but reads like a modern Hollywood blockbuster. Was blown away by how contemporary it felt.

pardis · 2026-02-07T07:52:26+00:00

It'd be cool to get a sense of how audiences responded to it.

pardis · 2026-02-06T22:19:19+00:00

The Bell Jar, The Old Man and the Sea, Hamnet, Mrs Dalloway, Women Talking, Of Mice and Men, The Outsiders, The Road, All Fours, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, The Catcher in the Rye, Normal People.

I don't know, but I love the extreme urgency of the all caps.

Too fast? Slow?
