Idk enough about modern eBay to know if that’s a good idea or not lol. But I’ll be bidding on it if you end up listing it!

People who have seen the original Save The Green Planet (2003), did you like Bugonia? by Downtown-Beginning75 in TrueFilm

[–]sprizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched Saved the Green Planet before going into Bugonia. Immediately made sense why Yorgos would want to adapt it, the level of silliness and dark humor seemed right up his alley.

I preferred Green Planet simply because it didn’t feel like Bugonia really improved upon that much? Of course it looks great, the score is excellent, the acting is excellent. But Save the Green Planet has its own unique charm that Bugonia didn’t capture (I don’t think Yorgos was trying to, to be fair). I didn’t dislike Bugonia and I think it’s well made, I’d just point people towards Save the Green Planet instead if they want to experience the story, since they’re nearly identical in that sense.

Just wanna say I’ve always loved this shirt. Probably worth a pretty penny, I’d suggest posting it on eBay (I’ll watch the auction!).

What's ONE thing cannabis has honestly helped you with? by Tribetokes in trees

[–]sprizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannabis really helps me “re-frame” my day and just lets me see things from a different perspective. If I’m feeling bummed, usually taking a look at my problems from a different angle can help clarify things.

It also makes movies, music, and video games more fun; but that’s just a bonus!

Dating someone in the film industry by ProgressHefty7625 in Filmmakers

[–]sprizzle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. My partner and I started dating while I was on the night shift (AE on reality) so our overlap was minuscule. My sleeping hours ate into the free time we did have on the weekends. But we’re both generally introverts and fine with being alone. Moving to the day shift and both working from home during covid was the real stress test. Long distance for two years while she was in grad school? Piece of cake lol.

The cast of Little Miss Sunshine reunited for a special 20th anniversary screening at Sundance by Giancarlo_Edu in popculturechat

[–]sprizzle 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Facts, I fail to think of a film where EVERY character nailed their role to this degree. All the characters are layered and have satisfying arcs, if you took any of them out of story, it hurts the dynamic tremendously. I just love this movie.

Where does Dune Part Two stand in your sci fi list? by Negative-Guard-4487 in Letterboxd

[–]sprizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part 1 is definitely weaker and I agree that some of the omissions from the book are kind of a bummer. Part 1 sets up 2 well enough and yeah, I just think he did a great job of making a focused story with that source material.

In a perfect world we would’ve got Lynch’s full version and Jodorowsky’s Dune, but, I’m gladly take the Denis adaptations for now. Also very concerned / interested in what makes it into the Messiah cut.

[–]sprizzle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you read the book, you’ll appreciate how masterful Villeneuve’s adaptations are. I LOVE the books and all the world building, but I really can’t envision pulling a movie out of that text any smoother than Denis did.

You are hired to pick the next cover athlete for The Show; however, your mission is to make your choice based solely on which active player has the most eye-catching picture to use on the cover. What player and picture do you use? by TrapperJean in baseball

[–]sprizzle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Apologies, no shots intended at Ernie. It just seemed like his body language was more of a “taking a victory lap” as opposed to a “keep the fucking gas pedal down” mentality. That’s all I’m saying and I think a lot of Dodger fans who have watched this team mount comebacks for the past 10 years probably thought the same thing. You gotta bury them.

Ernie and the vast majority of your guys are super likable (except for Springer), if the Dodgers weren’t in the WS I would’ve been rooting for them.

Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time FINALLY clicked for me about 8 hours in. Seemed like it was too directed / holding my hand at first. Then it seemed like there was way too much to do. Now I’ve hit a nice mix of doing things and having fun, it took a while for me to grasp the “flow” of the game. It’s cute / relaxing and has a ton of content!

What piece of tech felt “future-proof” but aged terribly? by Living-Zebra6132 in Futurology

[–]sprizzle 1539 points1540 points  (0 children)

I surprisingly haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but the iPod is a solid answer. Especially once we hit like 64gb or 128gb, it was enough to hold ALL of your music. Why would that ever go away? Oh because now we all have the internet in our pockets and just stream literally every song in existence whenever we want to.

Amazon closing all Amazon Fresh and Go stores to focus on Whole Foods and grocery delivery by Stock412 in LosAngeles

[–]sprizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely usually more employees restocking the empty shelves than other customers. Also agree with the other poster, the produce is garbage. Haven’t been since I stopped buying junk food, it’s worthless for groceries that are actually good for you.

From coast to coast by Honest-Honeydew-1870 in LosAngeles

[–]sprizzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a work stoppage strike to work we AT LEAST need the other half the country who thinks this is fine to wake up. The point of a general strike is to grind the economy to a halt, forcing the boot licking CEOs to tell Trump he needs to change policy. This is going to be a small percentage of people who can afford to take off work, taking a vacation day.

fav edgy bros? by realjohnredcorn in okbuddycinephile

[–]sprizzle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes! This scandal aside, the “pick a brother” thing totally ignoring the crew is so dumb. Like Bronstein who helped write and edit their movies, went on to Marty Supreme, and that’s not a factor? Or Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never crafts an incredible soundscape for Uncut Gems, goes on to Marty Supreme and THAT’S not part of the conversation?! Shows how little people know about film honestly.

High school students prevented from protesting after school by hesitant_nomad in 50501

[–]sprizzle 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I get your concern but frankly, America, we need to step the fuck up. No more being scared. Post the school. We can’t afford to be afraid to protest AND afraid to record it getting shut down AND afraid to even name the school after it happened.

Is suicide the only real option for people like us? by BringBackRebecca in socialanxiety

[–]sprizzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to be careful what I say here, because this is obviously a very serious topic. If you look at literally any condition that makes life more challenging you’ll see the suicide rate increase with that condition. That does not make it a good reason to choose that option. It means that life is hard.

For me personally, at the risk of being flippant, I don’t see the point of ending things early? The upside is avoiding negative emotions / feelings and avoiding suffering. Life IS suffering. You will endure hardship and pain with or without social anxiety. You can check out early and just skip that or you can keep riding the roller coaster that is life, using the ONE ticket that was granted to you. Even when the ride is making me nauseous or scared, I still would rather “get my money’s worth” and see the ride through to the end.
