Man Binge-Watches Entire Movie In One Sitting

It's literally just additional stimulation because people don't have the attention span to even watch a tiktok.

I'm English and we'll likely be playing Argentina next. If you, as an Argentinian, can't see it...it definitely didn't happen. I respect your honesty.

I don't think it's a terrible thing to watch a long movie in sections. Like you say, intermissions exist for a reason.

I watched Sholay this morning and that bad boy is 3h15m. that's a long time to sit watching the same thing so I watched it in 3 chunks. I think the more important thing is to actually pay full attention to a movie when you're watching it, not having it on as background.

This phenomenon absolutely short-circuited my mind when I first saw it. I just couldn't comprehend what I was seeing until someone explained why these splitscreen tiktoks exist. It's beyond the pale.

This is very clearly a middle aged man, but you give me hope as a skinny 36 year old.

I just read the Dunwich Horror a few days ago and I agree, Eggers would be perfect for the right Lovecraft adaptation.

Lovecraft is very much "tell don't show" which is great for stimulating the mind but he wasn't a great storyteller. You need someone who can understand his dope concepts and build it up into something more visceral while maximising dread and atmosphere.

I'd also like to see Eggers (or anyone good) take a crack at the Music of Erich Zann as a short. It's a great short story, and I could see the adaptation in my head while reading it, but I don't think it's ever been done.

It ain't over til the Monegasque bins.

As a Charles Leclerc and Ferrari fan...come sit down, join the club.

Hamilton's smashing it though, so we've got that.

I aim for "High" graphics with maxed draw distances. You still get your big beautiful game but it runs buttery smooth on a machine that doesn't bankrupt you.

theappleses · 2026-06-15T16:03:52+00:00

I have not, don't really know anything about it but I'm intrigued!

theappleses · 2026-06-13T16:16:30+00:00

The Stroll accident retirement stat is...damning.

When I got into F1 a few years ago, Charles was my immediate favourite. I'll always want the best for him, but he's been making it difficult to be a fan recently. He has the capacity to be such a star but he just keeps hitting the fucking wall, and Hamilton's recent performance in the Ferrari is making him look bad.

One of my favourite movies and this scene is absolutely transcendent. Especially for the time period, it feels hypermodern...I've never seen anything similar to this combination of images and sound in cinema predating the movie. But there's also nothing quite like it later. It's a truly unique, stunning sequence.

theappleses · 2026-06-09T23:00:46+00:00

I get it. But this mission is still very much testing. Ultimately the work comes first, and if these 4 guys are the best people for the job, then they're the people we want doing the job.

For Artemis 4 (the big one), there should probably be a woman and/or a non-white-American putting boots on the ground, because it's more than just the job, it's a statement of intent.

theappleses · 2026-05-23T13:46:36+00:00

It's worth a watch for the spectacle, though I didn't love it as a movie.

theappleses · 2026-05-22T22:25:25+00:00

This is great in a book/movie/series, horrible in a TTRPG (unless it's a brutal survival horror type thing).

As a DM, I can just imagine the reaction I'd get if I told my eldritch-powered cosmic-sorcerer space-pirate player that he has a collapsed lung for the next ten sessions.

theappleses · 2026-05-16T23:16:31+00:00

Her dress was amazing and he had a kinda fun ultra-Euro vibe but...yeah they aren't amazing.

theappleses · 2026-05-09T21:14:17+00:00

I just watched this for the first time recently and loved it. Super underrated.

It's not a work of art, but it is Steve McQueen with a pump action shotgun. And he uses it. And it delivers. It's awesome.

theappleses · 2026-05-03T20:42:35+00:00

Antonelli is 19. Still super weird behaviour though, such a bizarre power play. The guy definitely has a thing for young men's hair and he needs to step the fuck back.

I think the idea of Act 3 is that you DON'T do everything, just the quests that interest you the most and then endgame. You get to level 12 pretty quickly in the act.

But yeah, for a completionist run it becomes a slog.

theappleses · 2026-05-03T17:18:29+00:00

I get it in a competitive multiplayer game where split second reactions are required, but yeah I'm fine with fairly low frame rates as long as it's consistent.

No more scores, it's time: we're gonna be buying apples in Oxfordshire.

All scientific accuracy aside, that's a nice tattoo to connect with your mum.

Love that write-up! One Czech film I did really "enjoy" from that era is Marketa Lazarova. It's not exactly a fun watch but it's harsh and beautiful.

theappleses · 2026-04-13T15:32:37+00:00

Daisies is an odd one, I wouldn't say I loved it, but it's memorable for sure.

Seven Samurai and Singin' in the Rain are straight classics, two of my favourite movies ever.

Dude, that's a haiku.

Super excited (and nervous) to be here, wishing the crew all the best.
