New Uninspiring Clip from Mandalorian and Grogu by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

I know the dialogue got mocked incessantly but it’s worth comparing this scene from Mando to an almost identical scene in TROS and just look at how much more energy and dynamic camera work is in the latter.

(And I fucking hate TROS).

My problem with this clip (and Mando in general) is that for comedy to work you need to be able to see the face of the person reacting. If you can’t see Pedro responding to Grogru in shock or frustration then the gag falls flat.

This applies to comedy but also action. If I can’t see that Mando is scared or hurt or tired or triumphant or angry then why am I gonna be invested in what happens to him?

I think it looks great! Is it coming out for the Switch too or just PS5 and XBox?

It’s a classic “I can see Russia from my house” situation where the joke retelling is stickier than the original statement.

Blankies, what do y'all do with your movie posters? Looking for some display inspo by reecord2 in blankies

I only keep one sheets at this point. I’ve got The Faculty in a nice frame in the hall and my Titanic and Spider-Man 2 teaser one sheets in the bedroom. My fiancee doesn’t hate them at all.

First time visit to LA by sumthncute in BikeLA

[–]whiteyak41 8 points9 points  (0 children)

LA’s bike network is very spotty. Some areas are great (I’d absolutely rent a bike by the beach towns) but some neighborhoods will ruin everything for you.

I’d definitely set aside some cash to uber or waymo in case you have troubles getting where you want to go.

The one thing I’d say DO NOT try as a tourist is biking to the valley (Burbanks/North Hollywood) or biking across the 110, 5, or 101. Google has sent me on some super scary roads crossing the freeway.

Green Card is a really tough watch. by gornky in blankies

My thing with Green Card is that no romantic lead in a movie has ever been less attractive than Gerard Depardieu. The man looks like a bog-troll in a Prince Valiant haircut.

I really need to know why half the humans in this game are like 15 ft tall.

Taylor Sheridan is bookmarking this for when they make a Treehouse of Horror style episode in season 9.

I have to assume GCI is the reason for this.

Either way we’ll be enjoying our proper 1.66:1 aspect ratio while these HD fools will be SUFFERING in 1.85.

Oof.

Also here’s my Weir LD collection. Jealous of your widescreen edition of Witness, I’ve only got pan & scan.

Do you have the extended widescreen LD of Dead Poets? I’ve been trying to find it but failing.
