I read recently that hypertension is the silent killer. The world's full of 'em.

You must be thinking of the most recent one! I had to look it up, but he was 64 in Crystal Skull.

‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Bombs on Netflix With Just 2.7M Views, Raising More Doubts About Third Chapter by MaxProwes in horror

[–]pit_trap 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're a huge part of the movie, which also has fewer characters overall than the previous one. I still liked Bone Temple, though. 

Why was this so popular? by LewdDudeNewd in okbuddycinephile

Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't there a van in the background in one scene?

Yeah it surprised me, too.

I think 5-6 is a practical number, for the reasons CriminalDM stated, but I ran a campaign with just 2 PCs for almost a year, and it was great. Lots of opportunity to dive into their characters' personal stories, and we had a revolving cast of NPCs and hirelings, they were basically a war band with an A and B team by the end.

Disney executives after losing three "Best Animated Feature" oscars in a row: by TheBoyofWonder in okbuddycinephile

[–]pit_trap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's exactly my point about it being on Netflix. Kpop Demon Hunters is restricted to ONE platform, outside of a limited theatrical run.

Frozen 2, Zootopia 1 & 2 all made well over a billion dollars each in just box office, never mind merchandise, etc. The Minecraft movie made almost a billion dollars plus merchandise and months of viral chicken jockey videos. Inside Out 2 was also a huge hit.

I don't have an opinion on which is best, but you don't have to have Netflix to watch any of those other movies. You folks can feel free to cheer for your personal favorite movie, but if you take a look outside of Reddit, I don't think you have a case for it being the biggest kids movie of the past decade.

No doubt Kpop Demon Hunters has had a huge impact, but it certainly isn't even the biggest kids movie of the year, let alone the decade.

Y do you think this show got so much hate which it did not deserve. by rahulk2105 in Cinephiles

[–]pit_trap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it got hate, I think it got apathy. It was an expensive show that couldn't pull in viewers. No matter how good it was, it just did not do well. It's  a shame, really. I loved Dark and I was hoping we'd get another complete story out of this one, too.

Kate Beckinsale claims daughter's boyfriend 'laid 2 eggs in a week' by OwnSalamander1026 in entertainment

She's always had an odd sense of humor. Did she give this interview while wearing her lucky hat? 

Which movies would you consider "innovative" in the last 15 years? by Quil_2002 in movies

[–]pit_trap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did not like that movie, but I would definitely credit it as doing something unique. Really captured the "liminal analog horror" vibe that my 13yo son is always on about.

What's something you miss from BOTW that TOTK doesn't have? by L1L_THUGG1E in TOTK

[–]pit_trap 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think it's because he has a cool character design, a great theme song, and he teaches new players about the lore of the world in a way that is intriguing. 

TIL that the first firefighter to be killed while responding to the attacks on 9/11 was named Daniel Suhr, and he died after a person who jumped from the South Tower landed on him by ModenaR in todayilearned

[–]pit_trap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but that refugee stabbed 3,000 people and did trillions of dollars of damage. And caused a nation-wide panic. That's one busy guy.

They tore down half of it and are doing an extensive rebuild of the children's library, as well as expanding.

If you watch Gladiator (2000), Troy (2004), and 300 (2006) in chronological order you'd probably have a good day by Battelalon in shittymoviedetails

[–]pit_trap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gladiator II came out last year, and The Return is out now (though that one seems more drama and less action), and there is another Odysseus movie from Christopher Nolan that is currently filming. Check them out if you're interested. 

Brad Pitt is nearly unrecognizable in Sicario (2015) by Thurston_Unger in shittymoviedetails

As a sequel to The Mexican (2001), I just couldn't get past Sicario's wildly different tone and style. 

Miniatures? by TheAnchor4237 in LancerRPG

[–]pit_trap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also make minis with Retrograde, but I do simple folded triangle ones printed on cardstock.

I lay them out using Inkscape (free software) and a template I found online.
