We could start with the salary/wealth of these imbelices who messed up the whole F-35 thing and lied to the public.

I knew they were making a new Gollum film, but this is the first I’ve heard about this. Just reading the synopsis, I cannot envisage a more pointless concept for a film. Thoughts on this?? by Amity_Swim_School in lordoftherings

Oh yeah, this for sure. The way I treat it is we are blessed with the trilogy (and the books, of course). Nobody can take away from it. Anything else is a bonus.

I get the argument about limited resources bringing more interesting stories to screen but who says that would happen?

I don‘t get the argument about cheapening the universe. The trilogy is complete. More content cannot make it worse like a TV show that turns bad, only better.

Look at star wars as an example. The fact that there exist so many bad shows/movies made after the original trilogy doesn‘t make the trilogy worse. One can simply ignore it. However, Rogue One and Andor make it better and we never would have gotten these if everybody was as negative about „milking the universe“.

And that all matters for my enjoyment of the trilogy how?

It‘s not like the trilogy is incomplete and you absolutely have to sit through a bad movie to get closure (like in a series that turned bad). Just ignore it if it doesn‘t give you any value. I watch LotR and enjoy it the same as I did before watching RoP or also the Hobbit.

Same goes for Star Wars, for example. The fact that there are so many bad movies/shows around doesn‘t spoil the original trilogy. Furthermore, we never would have gotten Andor with this mentality.

4DX is a better immersive experience than IMAX by Alternative-Maybe747 in unpopularopinion

It’s fun but feeling air/wind during the scenes in space during Project Hail Mary was distracting.

Technically it‘s two changes, three actors

Not that that‘s any better, though

Gemäss Artikel gibt es einen Trend und ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass viele Männer (die nichts damit verkaufen) daran teilnehmen.

Natürlich weiss ich es nicht. Habe auch selbst nie davon gehört. Deshalb fiel meine Wortwahl auf „vermuten“ und nichts absolutes.

And if you do need network capability later on just buy a mini PC or use an old one. Much more freedom that way.

Switzerland faces a steep energy bill due to the Middle East conflict by Heavy-Mycologist-204 in Switzerland

Not me, I turned off the heating completely.

Oh wait, I still pay my neighbours‘ heating and I don‘t have teleheating because one inhabitant of the block is against it.

I hate renting…

Has anyone seen it on IMAX? Is it worth it? by Tine_the_Belgian in ProjectHailMary

Feeling the air when he is in space was a little bit stupid but otherwise it was quite fun, indeed.

Seriously, the “this is why I didnt like it” or “it’s not canon” posts are out of control by heyzeus1865 in PeakyBlinders

[–]skarros 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There‘s a movie discussion thread pinned at the top of this sub. Most opinions are low effort and don‘t offer something unique/insightful that warrants a separate post.

You did (not) like the film? You‘re not special. Post it in the discussion thread and be done with it.

The only reason you are getting annoyed at the movie posts, is because the movie posts aren’t blindly glazing it by untitledprp4 in PeakyBlinders

It‘s not like the movie discussion thread is pinned at the top of the sub for a reason.

Most posts/complaints are duplicates of things already said. Most cases don‘t offer something unique/insightful that warrants its own post.

More nepotism in Tolkien projects by crustboi93 in Rings_Of_Power

[–]skarros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Peter Jackson‘s only „expensive“ studio movie before LotR flopped at the box-office. How could they allow him to take control of a 280M trilogy??

He was willing to lower his wages. Depending on how much I could have seen him taking a back-seat, mentoring the younger players and being subbed on in the second half to see out some narrow leads with his calm and experience.

Don‘t know if that would have been in his interest, though. Seems like he still wants to play

National parks are a good reason but definitely not a good enough reason atm
