- Comment on [Discussion] What is your movie setup? Large OLED TV, beamer? Which kind of sound system do you use? 2 months ago:
Had an older 65 inch 1080p tv that died. So now we watch on my 32 inch 4k monitor. Using a pair of iLoud Micro speakers.
Will eventually get a new TV and proper sound setup.

- Comment on [Discussion] What did you think of Matrix 4? 2 months ago:
I watched it with some friends at one of their houses. Halfway through one of them said out loud: “This is kind of shit isn’t it?” I think that basically sums up my feelings on it. I won’t deny that they tried to explore some important themes but it’s such an unmemorable mess that I can’t even remember a few years out if they were successful at all. What I do remember is how uninspired and boring so much of the film was. Especially the fight scenes which are such an important core of the Matrix franchise.
I think they made it very clear early in the movie in a meta way through Neo’s job that nobody really wanted to make it but that they were more or less forced to by Warner Bros. And it seems like it was ultimately made by Lana Wachowski as a fuck you to the studio and went out of its way to piss off the audience.
- Comment on [Monthly thread] What have you been watching? August 2024 2 months ago:
Deadpool & Wolverine was solid. If you liked the first 2 you’ll like this one. If you didn’t then you’ll probably not like this one either, unless you’re just a huge Wolverine fan. It very much is a Deadpool movie first and foremost for all the good and bad that entails. The one advantage this one has over the previous 2 is that there is some real pathos here courtesy of Hugh Jackman being a very good actor. I think the Cable stuff from the second film kind of touches on similar emotions but it’s better done here.
A Quiet Place: Day One was excellent. I really liked this movie. They captured the tension and confusion of the situation phenomenally. Excellent acting, great set pieces, tight plot. I think the bar scene was incredibly heartfelt. It does kind of struggle with the same issue that the other movies do in that how the monsters work doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense if you really think about it. But that’s not really what the movie is about and it’s easy to overlook when you’re watching.

One of my earliest memories is watching this movie as a kid and being absolutely enthralled by Cameron Diaz.

You’re not wrong. There was a lot of talk about that during the airing of the show. The show creator was a big Bush supporter so I’m not surprised by his depiction.
There have even been actual studies done that show that entertainment media depicting torture as positive increase viewers stated support of torture.

Haven’t horror movies consistently done really well in the Box Office despite the general downturn that’s happened?

This is such a well edited trailer
- Comment on "Inside Out 2" is the fastest animated film to reach $1 billion at the global box office 4 months ago:
Is that Disney is good at making their films seem like “must see” events, that they’re perceived as a cultural staple.
Disney has really struggled with this the last few years though.

Well I’m gladly eating crow. Other than some occasional weird CGI this movie was awesome. And I was down on Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth but both of them were awesome.
- Comment on Are trailers revealing too much again nowadays? 5 months ago:
They pay for the ads right? Why not just have that 5 second clip be for the ad and not for the actual youtube video?

Hi Will, really liked the short film. How long does something like this take to create? I assume it starts with writing a script and then all the way to when it’s really for release.

Thanks! I try to post daily to keep it active and help grow it. But right now I’m mostly sharing news which doesn’t seem to garner too much discussion. I think I will take a page from your book and create more general and open ended posts that help facilitate conversation.
- Comment on Mufasa: The Lion King | Teaser Trailer 6 months ago:
Seems like another soulless Disney remake. I think some of the shine has rubbed off now and I really doubt it’ll be nearly as profitable as the Lion King remake

- Comment on Are people excited for Furiosa? 6 months ago:
Personally I don’t think Anya Taylor-Joy is the best casting for a young Furiosa and the first trailer I saw didn’t exactly raise my hopes. But I trust George Miller to do his best with this so I’m cautiously optimistic.
