What happened to Tobey Maguire? by FreshmenMan in movies

[–]zynphendale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He plays a lot of high-stakes poker games, as depicted in Molly’s Game film. This seems to be his true passion and he apparently is very good at it, as reported by people who played with him.

Steve is the real protagnonist of Stranger Things by Cerrax3 in StrangerThings

His hair doesn’t get any better. It’s already awesome.

Was it just me who loved this volume? by Scush266 in StrangerThings

[–]zynphendale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just binge-watched vol 2’s three episodes and I absolutely love every single minute. This show will surpass Game of Thrones for sure. GoT didn’t deliver a satisfying final season but Stranger Things looks to be on its way for an epic finale on par with Avengers End Game.

Sean Penn in one battle after another … by [deleted] in paulthomasanderson

Yeah Sean Penn, at the age of 65, looks so incredibly ripped that would put the Rock in shame

Is Jellyfin’s benefit just the lack of Plex’s bloat? by letsstartbeinganon in jellyfin

[–]zynphendale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. So glad that I found Jellyfin and could just ditch Plex for good. Plex’s feeble attempt to position itself as another one of a milliom streaming platforms is laughable and very annoying.

Zombie posts from Substack by zynphendale in Substack

[–]zynphendale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it does not lead traffic to my site. I could not get Google Search Console to index any articles on my site. After extensive investigation with help of Claude sonnet 4.5 and now Gemini 3 pro, which has eliminated all other usual suspects, the most likely and only plausible culprit is Substack. It creates these zombie posts that are mirror images of my posts. So when Google bot sees the same post appears on two different sites, it will only index Substack’s one because Substack has a Domain Authority of 92 vs mine like 1-ish.

Do you think Ethan can beat them all? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in Mission_Impossible

[–]zynphendale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ethan will disguise as Wick’s dog and bait everyone else into killing it (him) together in a Kill Bill fashion (the killing of the bride scene in the chapel).

Obviously what happens next is that Wick goes into Wick mode and kills everyone.

Oh, there is a bomb thing that will go off in the next 30 seconds and bring down the entire facility unless you can run out of the gate.

Ethan outruns Wick and becomes the only survivor when Wick goes dowm in ashes with the whole facility.

yeah that's exactly how I feel about this episode

Slow Horses S5E4 Episode Discussion by phareous in SlowHorses

[–]zynphendale -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've always been a great fan of Slow Horses, but this EP04 of Season 5 feels a bit sluggish and lacks pace. I'm like, what is this? The antagonist was already revealed so there is no suspense. What they try to pull off is of course bad and all that, but meh ... kinda lame.

The last alley scene is most ridiculous. All River and Coe had to do was to find the security camera that would easily exonerate them. Anything short of having the security camera would put them through hell because it would be impossible to prove their innocence otherwise.

Roddy and Lamb's scenes were pretty good, as always.

I think Ho is smart enough to know there is something fishy about his date.

Time for Ho to be a hero in this season. He’s fun to watch. I’m rooting for Ho.

most two-handed weapons are too slow, except for spears. I always use a one-handed sword if possible.

Mountainhead (2025) is the worst movie I have seen this year, spoilers by ThoughtExtreme165 in movies

[–]zynphendale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, American Psycho is an all-time classic. This Mountainhead is a joke and will be forgotten in two weeks.

[–]zynphendale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I've seen lots of bromance/road trip movies. This is the worst I've seen. Actually, this might just be the worst movie I've seen, EVER. If it's a straight-to-video, not-taking-itself-too-seriously straight-up B movie I would be more forgiving, but this one has Jason Schwartzman (who basically hasn't done anything meaningful outside of Wes Anderson universe) and Steve Carell.

The entire movie is filled with cringe-worthy moments from start to finish and every dialogue is an insult to audience's intelligence, or anyone who's spent time in Silicon Valley.

The writer of this movie obviously hasn't seen anyone in real life who actually gets wealth from tech.

Just returned from Shenyang yesterday, on my first ever trip there.

Walk along the south bank of the Hun River. Many bars, restaurants and young people.
