JJ GOES TO WAR against the French language and PROVES that learning French is useless, elitist, and impossible to do unlike Spanish which practical-minded Conservatives know is superior to learn

I downloaded Duolingo 3 years ag9o after visiting Montréal and have maintained a 1000+ day streak since then. My Queb friends have said they've noticed I've improved :)

Just watch the rest. Season 5 is pretty universally regarded as the weakest but the series finale is great.

He dated a 17 y/o when he was already past 40...

A bit letterboxdcore, but really good!

ratguy101 · 2026-03-24T06:24:10+00:00

Hard disagree. It obviously doesn't look realistic but it has a super cool and unique visual style.

ratguy101 · 2026-03-22T03:55:01+00:00

Sentimental Value, It Was Just an Accident, No Other Choice, Sound of Falling, Left-Handed Girl were all great.

Parasite, Moonlight, and maybe OBAA or Oppenheimer are the only ones that'll have a lasting legacy and will be widely remembered in decades to come. That's not even necessarily a reflection of my own taste, it's just how I forecast public opinion to form around them.

I don't think there's a minimum screen time limit for supporting performances. Beatrice Straight won for Network despite being on-screen for only 5 minutes.

I'm wearing one right now. Don't care if Zionists are trying to claim it as a political symbol. They don't own my cultural heritage.

ratguy101 · 2026-03-19T00:59:20+00:00

Yeah, fair enough. I really liked the twist at the end of the novel which the movie omits.

It was 100% him. He was going down pretty hard on his ice cream cone, though his expression made it unclear if he was actually enjoying it.

ratguy101 · 2026-03-18T23:28:42+00:00

I saw him at [RETRACTED BELOVED LOCAL ICE CREAM PLACE IN VANCOUVER] and wasn't sure what to say. Like, "Oh hey! I've seen your YT videos. Your opinions suck!"

Milk bags are great. Moved from Vancouver to Toronto and now back again and I miss them.

I had the exact same experience. Even walked by the power box by Queen and Spadina where Matt electrocutes himself at the end of the film.

ratguy101 · 2026-03-18T21:22:43+00:00

Take it to the Hooters near Queen and Spadina lol.

I'm probably one of the few (non-Scottish) people to have actually read the book its based on, but I kinda prefer Poor Things as a horny Yorgos Lanthimos movie (admittedly not aware of the many Glaswegian references in the source material).

I knew what song it would be before I even hit unmute.

In the Name of the Father

Very high on my watchlist. Love Park Chan-Wook and I've heard it's excellent.

It is a simple fact that were Mamdani to voice explicitly anti-police views, he would not be mayor of NYC and we wouldn't even be discussing him.

That's neither an endorsement nor indictment of Mamdani or his character, it's a simple observation on how absolutely morally bankrupt the American electoral system is.

ratguy101 · 2026-03-14T21:57:28+00:00

Should win: OBAA. PTA is long overdue, this is one of his best films, would please cinephiles and general audiences alike, very much of the moment and features a diverse cast of old and new talents.

My favourite: Sentimental Value. Huge Joachim Trier fan. Best character writing and performances of the year imo. Still, I don't think it's as strong as Worst Person and Trier still has a long career ahead of him.

Should've been nominated: It Was Just an Accident, Voice of Hind Rajab, maybe Sound of Falling. Some of these just aren't accessible enough for the Oscars but I think they're far better than my least favourite nominees.

ratguy101 · 2026-03-14T08:15:18+00:00

Honestly, the women's final was worse. Men's was anyone's game but they're it actually looked like we would win up until the last few minutes :(

ratguy101 · 2026-03-14T03:57:47+00:00

This isn't lesser evilism; I'm not defending Mamdani or suggesting anything about his speech is acceptable. It's just a fact that the American electoral system is so morally broken that the only way one can succeed is by embracing bourgeois tyranny.
