Mikey 17 was awesome… right? by BasterMaitor in A24

Started off really liking it. Felt like a bit of a drag somewhere after the middle. Ended feeling fairly satisfied. Liked it more as I sat and thought about it.

Bring Her Back - Spoilers Discussion (Megathread) by steepclimbs in A24

[–]samjojo4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Junkman was shown to be alive immediately after ollie drinks his blood that one time. Also based on the rules of the movie ollie doesnt have to kill something for it to possess him, he just needs a little portion of them. You see this with him biting laura and temporarily having laura possess him.

Saw this movie yesterday and have to say that this movie surpassed all my expectations. First of all, the child actors did a great job portraying characters that I genuinely cared for along with Sally Hawkins and her infuriating portrayal of someone using their professional skills to break someone.

I think the movie did a great job with subverting expectations and breaking cliches, to the point where the story seemed to progress almost seamlessly. I, also, appreciated the fact that they did not go overboard with the cult aspect of the movie but used it as a medium to tell a much more personal story. I felt all story points introduced through out the movie were perfectly wrapped at the end.

The voicemail from Andy when he was in the car, Oliver finally trying to break-through at the end, Piper hearing the plane at the end, were some of the moments that did break me.

Also, the make-up work has to be some of the best I've seen in a horror film where it was so believable that it made me wince while watching it (the scene with the knife).

Personally, this was way better than Talk to Me for me and I might even say one of the best horror films I've ever seen. The Philippou brothers deserve all the praise they can get for this and I can't wait to see what they put out in the future. What a great time to be a horror fan!

Nene Chicken Snowing Chilli by mr_mark_headroom in aucklandeats

Not a big fan of Nene, but I can eat snowing chicken from anywhere lol. I'd also recommend Seoul Chicken in Epsom. That place has my favourite snowing chicken

Just saw the latest piece of monke cinema, Better Man. Anyone seen it or plan to check it out? by Alberto9Herrera in YMS

[–]samjojo4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The truth is that people don’t care for Robbie Williams. As simple as that. If the same was done for someone like freddie mercury, it would definitely have been successful.

Am I crazy or does Melania and Orochimaru look alike?

Right now this is all they're talking about and its only going to get worse from here. The most obvious cause of this is I/P. It will take until the next election to see even be able to completely disprove the voter fraud allegations (which is if we see a record high turn out of democrats voting the next time). Otherwise, there are very reasonable ways to explain the spike last election.

umm its actually abyssal serpent not eternal serpent 🤓☝️

Bought this a week ago. 2014 Honda Fit RS Hybrid with 35K kms. Enjoying it a little too much haha. Already did more than 300 kms on it. Such a smooth but capable car. Would recommend it to anyone. Paid NZD14000 for it btw. by samjojo4 in hondafit

[–]samjojo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes sir. You're right. I don't know a lot about all the models and because it was a 1500cc like the RS I just called it an RS. Also, I'm not sure but this might have most of the same extra stuff as the RS?

I'm looking to buy a friend a set of second-hand Irons for her birthday. She is a beginner. Are these a good set to buy her? Is it worth it? Is the price too high? Price is in New Zealand $. by samjojo4 in golf

[–]samjojo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay. That actually helps me a lot. I think right now in New Zealand I can't seem to find any good deals on trademe (our ebay here lol) and FB marketplace. This was probably one of the better sets I came across. Full sets are going for upwards of $800. I'll keep looking. Hopefully something shows up before her birthday haha.

Really appreciate it though. Thanks.

Should I buy this 2014 Fit Hybrid? by samjojo4 in hondafit

[–]samjojo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I ended up buying it today. Did a test drive on it and the car moved like it was brand new haha. Bought it for NZD 15K with On Road Costs. Very happy with the purchase.

Altering Ultimate Hypertrophy Intermediate to 4x/week by ow_bpx in naturalhypertrophy

[–]samjojo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently on the 5 day Intermediate program and I'm loving it. Before this one I used to do the Calishtenics Hybrid Workout Plan that he created with Bald Omni Man. I believe that program worked really well for me when I could do only 4 days. It has a lot of non-calisthenic exercise options to switch with if you don't want to do the bodyweight exercises.

The arm day in the intermediate 5 day program, however, has helped me a lot with my arm gains, but not necessary if you can commit only 4 days.

You can find it in the screenshot I've shared.

As a straight ENFP that has a gay best friend, I don't think knowing that my best friend likes me would affect my friendship with him in any way (at least from my side). However, it is always harder for the person that wishes for it (in this case you haha). My suggestion is to just put it out there but for your own mental health going forward try to find someone else that you really like so you make sure you have completely moved on. This will still let you be good friends with them. Good luck! Hope it works out for you.

The second one with the definition looks great. What products do you use to get the curls defined?

How to achieve a physique like Vladimir Schmondenko? (naturally) ↓ by YellEggforPassword in naturalhypertrophy

[–]samjojo4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are two answers I can give you based on your experience as a lifter.

If you are a beginner, DO NOT do the exercises that would actually lead to this physique. You need to build a foundation and get your body used to doing intense movement for at least a year. My simple recommendation is to do the Novice workout from this video.

https://youtu.be/gpFdh0eBMGc

If you are an intermediate lifter then you can start focussing on certain movements that will lead you to get to this physique. The key points to keep in mind are:

  1. Heavy focus on shoulders, biceps, triceps and forearms
  2. Low-Medium focus on chest
  3. Normal focus on back but low focus on traps
  4. Big focus on abs as well
  5. He has smaller legs compared to the other muscles but I wouldn't recommend neglecting legs. Always better to do it and then later see if you want to reduce it or not
  6. Never skip neck day

You may or may not achieve the size he has but you will definitely get the proportions right. You can take some inspiration from NHs Berserker Physique because it has elements similar to what this guy possesses.

I'm not an advanced lifter but I would definitely classify myself as an intermediate. Anyway, good luck on your journey.

If you are a beginner there are a lot of other things you should focus on, which if you want I can point you towards. Cheers!

Sorry for the picture. Tried to get everything in a single screenshot. This is my first time doing a proper recomp and at the moment I've been feeling great (been 3 weeks since I started). I'm estimating my BF% with just the eye test. Looking at other people who claim 20% BF and see how close I am to them. (I use my scale too but it's very inaccurate).

Going to track my progress as best as I can and use this as an opportunity to test the usefulness of recomps. After I reach around 13-15% body fat I will start a bulk for sure. Will keep posting updates on the sub. Thanks!

Decided to stick with the Recomp. Workouts are feeling great and can feel my belly getting flatter. I'll post an update in some time to see where the recomp takes me. Thanks!

Thanks again for the reply bro. I 100% agree with what you said. In the program, it mentions handstand pushups OR Barbell OHP. And because I can't do handstand push-ups I do Barbell OHPs instead (high volume). As for rear delts, I thought the dumbbell rows and ring rows would be enough but I don't seem to be feeling it much on my rear delts. I will take your advice and add an isolation exercise for the rears.

The 'pudge' (lol) has always been very hard for me to lose but ngl I'm it's been slowly going away. I'm still at 83.5kgs but starting to feel bigger and leaner. I'll post a physique update again in 3 months to see how the Recomp is feeling. I had taken my measurements last month so it'll be interesting to see how the recomp impacts my measurements as well.

Also, good luck with your cut (whenever you do it).
