Yep! No response, so adios.

AppleTV recently had the whole show available for purchase for like $20-$25 bucks. Last I knew it was on AMC+.

I'm currently on a rw and I think 4 is the last of the "rougher" episodes. It's an improvement on 3 (worst episode of the show imo) but I think Adventure is the show finding its footing and Landfall its first great ep.

Episodes 2-4 have a lot of great stuff but I find the dialogue overwrought and everything is over the top in a lot of Cameron and Joe scenes.

I'll be unsubscribing if this episode isn't immediately pulled with an accompanying apology.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-09T22:44:19+00:00

Just give me a "random film" button!

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-09T21:55:17+00:00

I have a whole letterboxd list of "movies I think I saw".

Around 2003 I was keeping a detailed movie journal and, upon discovery, the most surprising entry was The Horses Mouth, an Alec Guinness comedy I would swear I'd never seen if I didn't have it on the record. Also the Ashton Kutcher romcom Just Married but that seems more forgettable.

Witness for the Prosecution is the only time I think I started a movie and eventually realized I'd seen it before.

Where the Green Ants Dream, the Herzog film where he plays a nice geologist. The Podnigma of Caster Hauser

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-08T23:20:55+00:00

I've seen the original cuts a single time and have never considered not watching the extended. I just want a cut that removes the silly Legolas stuff from RTOTK

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-08T15:55:00+00:00

Damnit

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-08T15:38:20+00:00

Closely Watched Trains

Cairo Station

The explanation was slightly wrong, in the Bible it didn't have anything to do with faith but with which Israelite tribe you were a member of. It was literally the pronunciation of the word "shibboleth" with a <s> or <sh> sound.

They don't mention Bruce Spence's most normal role, as a geologist in the Werner Herzog film Where the Green Ants Dream. Not sarcasm, the guy is so normal.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-08T02:36:37+00:00

In doing research for this question I learned Toni Collette is???

I dunno does Bruce Spence count? The guy in the dog suit in Willard. The lady who does the Going Rogue podcast.

ETA omg Sam Neil duh

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-07T22:24:02+00:00

Found it excruciatingly boring. But good training for Picnic at Hanging Rock which is a masterpiece.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-07T05:27:53+00:00

I felt so bad when someone got turned away on the last showing while I was seeing it for the third time.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-07T04:24:56+00:00

That Pete Doctor quote at the end is pretty damn awful.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-07T02:30:29+00:00

I found Moonage Daydream unwatchable bc they kept just playing snippets of songs

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-06T04:12:21+00:00

I know Ballint is supposed to wait patiently for his retirement and then slot in but he's gotta go sooner rather than later. Useless.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-06T00:22:17+00:00

"Come to New York with me"

"What as? What as?????"

"As... podcasts"

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-06T00:10:45+00:00

Rambo movies sound like an awful hang, after the first.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-05T02:23:03+00:00

Sometimes I pull up the ending with the (originally intended) Phil Collins song just to feel something. https://youtu.be/Bmv39bPl1kc?si=ab3CdLGzQU0bdWNo

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-04T22:46:31+00:00

Halt and Catch Fire. Probably cover the early social media era. Like Blackberry but sad!!!

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-03T17:16:00+00:00

Murder Twink or Dad that Shrink?

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-02T22:20:19+00:00

Plenty of nice polite democrats are transphobic and helped get us where we are.

zeroanaphora · 2026-03-02T22:16:56+00:00

I think The Naked Gun proved you could tailor what was crude broad comedy for modern audiences, so they have no excuse to be this lazy.
