I believe it. Coming in blind having never having seen the original probably helped a lot.
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 2 weeks ago:
Going to give an old example and a new example.
I remember liking the Aeon Flux movie. Don’t remember too much about it, but I remember enjoying it, and favorably comparing it to Ultraviolet which came out around the same time. Recently I heard someone bring it up in a podcast as a terrible movie and it turns out it’s pretty universally panned lol.
A more recent example is The Watchers. I thought it was pretty good and kept my interest the whole time, but seems pretty middling from reviews. A lot of people especially didn’t like the ending, which I guess was kind of sudden, but still alright imo. Not noteworthy in being especially bad or anything.

I thought it did some cool stuff with making the Facehuggers scary again and the
Tap for spoiler
Hybrid alien was cool. Although apparently that was a reference to an alien movie I haven’t seen yet or something?
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 2 weeks ago:
I really liked that movie. Great example for me, too.

I still need to play Prey. It’s all on my wishlists on Steam or Gog, but haven’t gotten around to it.

This is hilarious. I can’t believe anyone but me remembers this game.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 1 month ago:
100%. The villain kinda sucked. The actress was alright but they gave her nothing to work with. Marvel has that problem a lot. They completely wasted Christian Bale in the last Thor movie imo.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was good
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 1 month ago:
Hm… Maybe I’ll give it a try sometime then. That’d kind of how k felt about The Marvels and the other Ant-Man movies. They weren’t mind-blowing, but they were mostly a fun time.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 1 month ago:
I liked the Marvels =(
Meanwhile, I’ve heard such bad things about Quantumania that I haven’t watched it yet lol.

- Comment on Is Alien Romulus worth the watch or do I need to watch Prometheus Covenant and the first Alien movies before hand? 1 month ago:
You could easily go back and watch the first two after Romulus. No need for homework.
- Comment on Can we talk about? - Fan service getting out of control. 1 month ago:
I still liked Romulus, but it’s definitely despite that eye rolling line.

- Comment on Borderlands' theatrical run grinds to a halt with just $31 million worldwide, which is barely enough to cover the marketing costs 2 months ago:
I’m glad that it seems to be higher up on this list in terms of money made. Probably my favorite one of these movies although I haven’t seen Uncharted yet.

I thought I saw AT&T workers on strike outside a building but that was months ago. You go guys!

Haven’t really heard of him before today but already hate him lol. I have heard of Shark Tank, but never watched it.
I’m sure it’s a good show, I know some nice people who watch it, but I’ve always imagined it in my head as poor people groveling for rich people’s money for their bakeries and such.

See what can happen if you leave a movie in theaters instead of shunting it on to a streaming service immediately?
- Comment on With an estimated $1.666 billion globally through Sunday, "Inside Out 2" has officially surpassed "The Lion King" (2019) to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time. 2 months ago:
Is this movie good for people with anxiety or triggering? I’d love to watch it with my partner, but I know anxiety is a character and not sure she’d want to watch that. She’s in fact said that to me herself lol.
- Comment on [Discussion] Of all the films you’ve gone into blind, which one truly stands out as your favorite find? 2 months ago:
I saw Parasite blind. My date picked the movie, think I saw part of a trailer once, but I’m not even sure. What an amazing movie to go in blind. I had no idea what was going to happen or when, it felt like a roller coaster with all the twists and turns.

That’s a really great idea! I’d 100% watch that.
- Comment on "Terminator 1 Is Pretty Obsolete": James Cameron Tackles Changes To The Sci-Fi Genre In The Past 40 Years 2 months ago:
What doesn’t hold up in Terminator 1? I always figured the movie was bare bones enough that it holds up fine. There’s only a few sci-fi elements in it because it basically takes place in the modern world. I guess because it takes place in the 80’s it’s making the timeline difficult?

Thanks! Definitely saving this comment for future reading.

Same. The more I learn about fungus and their related kin, the more I realize I don’t get them lol.
- Comment on Beijing and Hollywood are decoupling as Chinese audiences favor domestic productions 2 months ago:
I was thinking the same thing. There was that period of time where every movie was very obviously trying to appeal to foreign markets with things like prioritizing action over dialogue scenes, making LGBTQ scenes easily able to be cut, or token characters, and it would be nice to have movies with one less studio mandate interfering with the creators.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus (2024) - What did you think? [Spoilers] 2 months ago:
I just got back from the theater and thought it was a lot of fun! Maybe it helps that I haven’t seen Prometheus or Covenant? Or Aliens 2? So some of the references went over my head.
