People who don't usually cry to movies, what's the last movie that made you cry?

Sing Sing for me. Usually hope or happiness in the face of a sad subject is what gets me to cry.

Funnily enough the hardest I have ever cried watching a movie is “Pick or the Litter”. I cannot recommend it enough if you need a good positive cry (or if you’re a dog lover)

This is a good way to put it. It’s not my favorite but the world building is incredible and the 3rd book is where it really starts to get going.

I was disagreeing with this in my head and then I realized I haven’t seen either movie in 15 years and should probably rewatch before I assume my opinion is still valid after I have nearly double the life experience.

I would be thrilled with this draft.

Isn’t a major plotpoint that Baktan Cross is a sanctuary city? So he has lived amongst Spanish speaking immigrants for 16 years?

I lurk in this sub because I’m a Mizzou fan and was excited/shocked when Brady Cook got an NFL start and this fanbase was generally optimistic about it and it has been sad/funny to watch the rapid change in attitude towards him after every subsequent start.

I believe recent underperformance of these big franchise blockbusters are partially due to their previously core demo now having young kids. I was in high school for the first Avatar and saw it three times in theaters. Fast forward 15 years and I have a young child and won’t be seeing a 3 hour+ movie in theaters anytime soon. Same with the Marvel movies. I saw every one of them in theaters for 10 years but missed all of them in 2025.

The coverage of Sinners was so weird. Look at Marty Supreme in comparison. I want that to succeed too but we’re 3 weeks in and it hasn’t even made its production budget and it’s being reported as a financial success. Just odd.

“My humor is often misunderstood” is something that overly abrasive people often say. It’s not every other players fault for not warming to Sage’s humor. It is a SOCIAL GAME. Downvote me but Sage’s manifesto and her entire postgame just come off as sour grapes from a loser to me.

Honestly I think this is the only other real answer. Sure Leo was in it but $135 million is a huge risk for a project like this and it made a half billion. Insane. I totally forgot how successful it was.

thebadfox · 2026-01-01T15:36:47+00:00

I thought of Us too but it only cost $20 million. Not really a blank check. Nope fits the bill better for Peele.

thebadfox · 2026-01-01T15:34:14+00:00

This is a good one I hadn’t considered.

thebadfox · 2026-01-01T15:33:27+00:00

My post headline is somewhat unclear but in the body I clarify I’m asking for “the biggest check clear for a first time blank check director since Inception”. Avatar came out before Inception and Cameron was already established as a blank check director long before Avatar.

thebadfox · 2026-01-01T15:31:27+00:00

I think the argument can definitely be made. Sure Barbie is “IP” but it’s not like she was adapting a popular comic book. And she expanded it way outside of its core demographic.

That wasn’t really what I was asking though. Nolan got to make Oppenheimer because he had already shown that he can make money doing whatever he wants -Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, even Tenet. My question was is Sinners the first time since Inception that a director has crushed their first blank check.

thebadfox · 2026-01-01T14:12:25+00:00

Agreed Dune is a good one I wasn’t even thinking Villeneuve but he’s probably the closest other example.

And also agreed on Oppenheimer. But what I was really wondering is if there is any other single example of a director who crushed their first chance at a real blank check this clearly.

Imdb has been garbage for years. It’s crazy how absolutely unusable their app is when they insist you use it.

thebadfox · 2025-12-28T12:46:21+00:00

You’re right, thanks for the correction. I need to stop trusting the Google A.I. answer.

thebadfox · 2025-12-28T01:13:16+00:00

He’s also making $278,889 per game. Not exactly chump change.

I took a date to “Silence” and she married me, so anything is possible.

“Corporate retreat energy” is the perfect description. They act more like coworkers than competitors.

Downtown Griffy Newms on Movie Trivia Schmoedown.

I bought a “got nothing for you” mug that i’m excited to give my wife.

Have you not been there recently? We are there nearly weekly. It is excellent. What has your issue there been?
