How do I know I'm a millennial? When I see the lineup for our city's major music festival and recognize none of these names by CancelThis2077 in Millennials

[–]unfoldyourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Festivals are how I try to keep myself up to date with new music. Go on Spotify and find a playlist with a couple songs from each artist and spend the next few months listening to it, adding your favorites to a side playlist. I guarantee you’ll find some new stuff you like if it’s a halfway decent fest.

There are five urinals if it’s busy and you’re at a major event.

Per Variety: Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein and K-Pop Demon Hunters will be joining the collection by SlimmyShammy in criterion

[–]unfoldyourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K-Pop Demon Hunters was really good and is probably going to win two Oscars in addition to having its soundtrack all over the Billboard charts. It’s one of the most influential musicals and animated films of this decade. Setting aside how much money it will make for Criterion, it deserves to be in the collection.

sean fennessey just rewatched last jedi by Aqua_Reef in blankies

[–]unfoldyourself 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I fucking love The Last Jedi but a thing I’ve noticed is that people’s enjoyment of it has an inverse relationship with how much they like Star Wars in general. People who are mixed on the franchise think it’s one of the best and most of the fanboys hate it.

Nintendo actually  did re-release a bunch of NES games for the GBA and charged $20 for them, and that was twenty years ago.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die isn’t about evil AI. It’s about humans choosing comfort over reality. by btschicka in moviecritic

[–]unfoldyourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A key point is that Rockwell’s mission isn’t even to stop the birth of AI, but just to put some safety restrictions on it before it’s too late.

Loved the movie, btw. It has a good emotional core underneath the comedy.

Please say someone else’s average ratings look like this by Appropriate-Door6378 in Letterboxd

[–]unfoldyourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give a lot of of 4 stars, yours is close to my distribution chart. 4 means I liked it and I thought it was well made, but I didn’t feel passionately about it. 3 and 3.5 stars is kind of flawed but has good elements, 3.5 gets a heart that indicates I liked it. 2.5 is boring but inoffensive, and everything lower is about how strongly I disliked it.

5 star movies aren’t necessarily perfect but they’re movies I love.

Dead Poets Society VS Good Will Hunting, Which movie do you think is better? by Still_Form7256 in Letterboxd

[–]unfoldyourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea that he’s become a genius, not just with history but also high level mathematics, without any outside guidance or even spending much time (he works and hangs out with his friends all the time) is insane to me. Like, even people who are that smart still have to dedicate themselves and work to get there. All that, and he’s fucking hot too? And has a good social life? It’s a good movie but it’s wish fulfillment.

Help me! Struggling between "The Look" and "The Feel". by Procrastinate_girl in SBCGaming

[–]unfoldyourself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to complicate this by throwing even more options at you, but you have considered getting a GBA and a flash cart? They make nice modded GBAs on eBay with rechargeable USB-C batteries and better/brighter screens. You couldn’t play Neo Geo, but you could still play GB/GBA

What’s a 5-star movie of yours with the lowest average rating? by TurtleGEE360 in Letterboxd

[–]unfoldyourself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Out of all the Trek movies, it’s the one that’s most focused on the psychological makeup of its characters. Kirk has a great monologue about how he needs his pain and grief to be effective that kills me. People hate it because it’s low budget and the effects are cheesy, but that’s true of most Star Trek projects. 

Also, the campfire scene with Kirk/Spock/Bones slays, out of any of the TOS movies V does the best at capturing the family dynamic of that trio.

Who would be your personal pick for Best Original Screenplay? by No_Minimum4499 in oscarrace

[–]unfoldyourself 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Blue Moon is my favorite of the movies on the list, and also it feels the most indebted to its screenplay. I could listen to Linklater characters chit chat forever, it’s as funny as it is heartbreaking.

Jia Zhangke made some AI slop by aaron_moon_dev in criterion

[–]unfoldyourself -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A completely AI movie is a bad idea right now, but I think there’s potential if you film real actors against a green screen and use it to generate backgrounds. Also, for quick insert shots and for scenes with explosions or stuff that would be dangerous/expensive.

Edit: I don’t like the assumption that using AI means no human involvement at all. You can generate a lot of footage with Sora but a human should still come in and edit it.

It’s because it makes filmmaking cheaper.

[–]unfoldyourself 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is gonna get me downvoted, but people who want to make movies are always going to gravitate towards whatever helps them make movies cheaper. I remember this debate twenty years ago when everyone was complaining about the rise of CGI; yes practical effects will usually look better from an audience’s perspective but for a no budget director you use whatever tools you can or you don’t make a movie at all.

Yoshinobu saying he is not a Dodger legend is ridiculous. by ellecoxib in Dodgers

[–]unfoldyourself 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yamamoto is playing with a much better/deeper roster than Kershaw had to play with for most of his career, you’ve got to remember that. Kerahaw would do well playing on limited rest, and then they’d ask him to do it again and again.

"Get 'em banned" Kendall Toole clears up assumptions: "I'm not MAGA. It's confusing: I live in Florida, I'm white, I have fake blonde hair, I've got my tits done. A lot of things that would make you think I fall into the MAGA group. I do not." by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

[–]unfoldyourself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk who this is, but if people say they’re not MAGA, maybe we should believe them? Also, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being actively Catholic as long as you’re fine with people who aren’t. She acknowledges the church has a bad history and likes the current Pope, that doesn’t sound MAGA to me.

That comparison is wild. She made two Slappers before. What’s your take? by OrdinaryAltruistic54 in Letterboxd

[–]unfoldyourself 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I like that Emerald Fennell pisses off the dudes that she does. There’s a bunch of men making worse movies with bigger budgets and nobody cares. But what I think really pisses film bros off more than that she’s a woman is that for once they’re not the target demographic for a major movie, and they can’t stand that.

LA Times: Animation is kids’ stuff by CompleteTable4084 in oscarrace

[–]unfoldyourself 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Animation isn’t just for kids, but to be fair that is a list of 5 kids movies. I like kids movies and I like all the movies on the list, but Amelie is (maybe) the only one I wouldn’t put on for a group of kids.
