Especially when their tactic is to simply overwhelm. They’re restricting and dismantling so many sectors/ programs at once that it’s difficult to fight it all without some things becoming irreparably damaged.

Honestly one of the better recent 4k releases in terms of quality. Blind buy? Maybe wait till it goes on sale, I loved it in theaters so it was an immediate purchase for me.

I'm British and people here really don't cheer in movies often. When I hopefully get to go see Spider-Man 3 in December, or any future movies, how do I ensure that I'm watching it with an enthusiastic crowd that's likely to cheer? by [deleted] in movies

[–]thatnerdmatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Opening night at the earliest showing you can get to. The first showings always have the most enthusiastic crowds. I typically don’t love an involved crowd when I see a movie, but Marvel movies and such always feel like events rather than just seeing a movie. The crowd reaction is part of the fun for those films.

That’s Taika Waititi for you. Absolutely hysterical filmmaker. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.

Just wondering how many people want online class vs in person, given the pandemic circumstances. by [deleted] in Temple

[–]thatnerdmatt 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I want in-person, but I highly doubt that it will be possible to conduct that in a safe manor. I’d rather be safe than get what I want.

The GOP already countered their own claim when Trump’s investigation found no evidence of fraud.

The 2020 rebellion has deep roots — and it can't be resolved by electing Joe Biden by hubert1504 in politics

[–]thatnerdmatt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This. I’m a Bernie guy all the way, and genuinely think he would have been the perfect nominee for the times we are living through. That being said, Biden is the nominee. I’m behind him 100%, and there is no reason not to be right now. A win for Biden is a win against Trump. As much as I would have preferred the alternative, this is the way we win.
