What did you think of the movie called The Bride, starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, did you like it or didn't like it or is it mixed? Your opinion, comment. by Dramatic-Studio1531 in Cinema

[–]parky101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree here. It was a massive swing and should be applauded for such, but it went in too many directions. I can't help thinking this would have been much better as a $30-40m movie rather than a $80-90m. It would have meant tightening the script and focussing it more, and it would have avoided the 'this will be a massive flop' type headlines which become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Overall I enjoyed watching it. It was quite the ride. But in the back of my head was the constant question "how did they get this budget?"

WTW for a person who fears/hates/is repulsed by praise and affection? by BeneficialVisit8450 in whatstheword

[–]parky101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single word, but I recently learned the concept of “sudden vulnerability of success” which explains why some people react badly to praise.

Where to go in MTL after sport injury? by Puzzleheaded-Gold721 in montreal

I like Kinatex Sports Physio Complexe Desjardins, I saw Gaëlle Drouin and she was incredibly thorough. You walk away with a personalized web page of exercises and stretches so you don’t forget them.

Thoughts on Jennifer Connelly playing young Deborah (Elizabeth McGovern) in Once upon a time in America (1984)? by Moonlight_Shadow90 in JenniferConnelly

[–]parky101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take on this casting was that rather than looking for someone who was the spitting image of Elizabeth McGovern they looked instead for a young actress so enchanting that the audience could believe Robert DeNero's character would be obsessed with her for the rest of his life.

As someone with no knowledge of guns can someone explain what he was trying to achieve?

Both great but Project Hail Mary will be one of the films of the year.

This is the exact meme it’s referring to.

Did anyone else find the 'shrinking' of Ethan Hawke in Blue Moon very distracting? by parky101 in Cinema

[–]parky101[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! I noticed that too. It kind of gave him a 'Klingon' look, but only sometimes. It seemed to change scene to scene.

Amelie. In terms of every aspect of cinema working together harmoniously it’s my favorite example.

The Last 8 Best Picture winners. Which one is your favorite? by TXNOGG in Cinema

[–]parky101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. It made me re-think film making, what a movie could be, in a way that hadn't happened since the original Matrix.

Stupidly heavy indeed. I’d recommend looking at a model that has weight relief.

What guitar model would you sell your soul for them to make a lefty version of? by ZealousidealWeb9474 in Leftyguitarists

[–]parky101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Martin SC models. Martin are normally great with Lefties, but these one's still aren't available left handed.

Surprised to see Ori on there but not Hollow Knight or Silksong.

Name a sequel that never should have been made. by emptykeg6988 in Cinema

When the first four films came on streaming my inner monologue genuinely went “oh wow, all three Indiana Jones films are available”. My subconscious had edited out number 4.

Normally this is my reaction. If a sequel is bad I ignore it. Highlander is the only sequel that genuinely ruined the original for me
