- Comment on Val Kilmer, Actor Renowned for Receding Into His Roles, Dies at 65 20 hours ago:
I thought he was a lot younger.
But then again he was 33 when Real McCoy was released. I first watched it in maybe 95 with my parents and I was very young then.

That’s cool!

Jennifer Lawrence will hit fifty and still be playing a teenager in Hunger Games XXIV: The Mutton Cravings (2040).
- Comment on 'Adolescence' Becomes No. 9 Most-Watched Netflix Series of All Time in Just 3 Weeks 1 day ago:
I generally dislike media about teenagers (say teen-focused comedy drama or YA scifi). There are some exceptions like Maze Runner, but they are rare. Is this worth checking out?
- Comment on Jason Momoa Series ‘Chief of War’ Sets Release Date at Apple TV+ 2 days ago:
The setting/plot outline sounds cool, the question is what the execution will be like.
- Comment on Michael Mann Says He ‘Just Finished’ ‘Heat 2’ Screenplay and Handed It to Warner Bros.: ‘Any More Than That, I Can’t Talk About’ 3 days ago:
I thought Heat was an original concept. It’s based on a book?
- Comment on 'Joker,' 'Matrix' producer files for bankruptcy protection amid Warner Bros. fight 3 days ago:
I haven’t seen The Joker
There is nothing in the first one that explicitly promotes right wing narratives.
- Comment on Just finished watching the Danish series The Chetnut Man (Kastanjemanden). Any other Scandanavian series that you can recommend? 3 days ago:
I thought the Trapped series from Iceland was really good. I’ve only seen the first season, but I enjoy it.

Great movie, one that I think will benefit a lot from 4K.

- Comment on Why is Lemmy only popular in the western World? 1 week ago:
Group chats and telegram as a quasi social network (you can comment on a feed of news in a public group chat channel) are extremely popular in Eastern Europe too.
- Comment on Why Robert De Niro's 'Alto Knights' Is a Box Office Flop 1 week ago:
I enjoy movies about the Italian mafia, but I am a little bit bored of De Niro playing the same character.
- Comment on John Carpenter to score Bong Joon-Ho’s upcoming horror film 1 week ago:
Looking forward to the Bong’s new horror movie, but also curious about the animated feature film. Is it going to be for adults?
- Comment on "Leaving Neverland", the 2019 Michael Jackson documentary that shook the world, has effectively vanished after HBO Max removed it due to a non-disparagement clause 1 week ago:
I don’t think we will come to a common understanding on this topic.
I finished watching the second part and I don’t believe the two men are lying and I think they are telling the truth.
If Jackon was never involved with young pre-teen boys in any manner, I would be willing to give Jackson more benefit of the doubt. But this is not the case.
- Comment on "Leaving Neverland", the 2019 Michael Jackson documentary that shook the world, has effectively vanished after HBO Max removed it due to a non-disparagement clause 1 week ago:
Except the fact that Jackson did constantly hang out with young pre-teen boys and admitted to sleeping with them in his bed.
Not only that, he engaged in this behaviour for more than a decade. It’s not just “re-living childhood” of it’s a constant part of your life.
He could stopped hanging out with young pre-teen boys after the first abuse scandal in the early 90s, yet he didn’t.
- Comment on New poster for A24's "Death of a Unicorn" 1 week ago:
Looks very cool, classic motifs, but also with unique styling (the border element).

Neither of them were actors though, one works as a choreographer and the other one is a cameraman I believe.
I’ve been to LA, it’s not like every single person who lives in the city is a master actor. This is a ridiculous idea.
You found the statements of the two men unconvincing. I find the idea that Jackson was merely trying to re-live his childhood by hanging out with young pre-teen boys and going on sleepovers with them, unconvincing.
- Comment on "Leaving Neverland", the 2019 Michael Jackson documentary that shook the world, has effectively vanished after HBO Max removed it due to a non-disparagement clause 1 week ago:
It looked more like a man enjoying a belated childhood than a man with malicious intent towards children.
There are many ways to make up for a missed childhood, especially when you have access to large financial resources. Hanging out with young pre-teen boys, swapping them around with regularity and having sleepovers with them is not the sole way to deal with childhood abuse from your father.
One option would have been to move out of the spotlight in LA and move to some place like São Tomé and Príncipe and follow through with some new hobbies; open a restaurant, open a small record studio, set up a charity program and get involved in day to day management and development. A wide range of possibilities were open to Jackson.
While the documentary does not provide formal evidence to back the statements made by the two men, I thought their story seemed convincing. If they were lying, they have some very good acting skills.
- Comment on ‘The Dog Stars’: Ridley Scott’s $100M+ gamble, thousands of extras, eyeing 2025 release 1 week ago:
Dog Stars sounds like a great book. Might need to read before the movie comes out.

Havent heard of this documentary, I am going to check it out later today (although 4 hours seems a bit long). I will add that if you know where to look, you can most definitely find it. :)
- Comment on Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17: Capitalism’s perfect worker—expendable and recyclable: “My entire life’s a … punishment” 1 week ago:
This was the first movie with Pattinson that I’ve seen. I recognized his face from one of those vampire drama/romance series, but I didn’t know what his name was. Turns out he was also in a Harry Potter movie (I’ve only seen the first two). I thought he did a good job.
I’ve only seen Ruffalo in Shutter Island and maybe some other movie that I don’t remember. I thought Pattinson was better, but Ruffalo was good too.
I could see Mickey 17 getting cult status.
Many movies that are now considered legendary initially didn’t fare that well. Some examples include Blade Runner and Brazil (also a scifi, black comedy with some rather brutal themes).
I will admit that some parts of the Mickey 17 were a bit disjointed.

Never knew there was a third one. 1/2 were fun though.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
I have not seen Nova Seed (adding to my tk watch list), but below are some animated movies that might pique your interest (similar visuals style and/or plot/setting that is not typical of anime):
- Tekkon Kinkreet
- Mind Game
- Metropolis
- Blame (movie)
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
Mulholland Drive can indeed initially seem almost like a normal movie.
Lucky you to have enjoy Lost Highway for the first time!
- Comment on Anyone else found Mickey 17 embarrassingly bad? (Just watched it) 2 weeks ago:
It was definitely flawed and could have been better, but I thought it was still pretty solid and enjoyable.
I thought the black comedy elements were fine.
I approached it as more of a “fairy tale for adults with satire” than a straight up scifi movie.
- Comment on Will Box Office Rebound? Captain America, Black Bag, Mickey 17 Struggle 2 weeks ago:
I thought Miki 17 was solid, part of the story felt a bit all over the place, but IMO it’s more tolerable for a satirical black comedy.
To be fair, I really like Sci-fi and Bong Joon Ho (discovered him via Memories of Murder way back when), so I am biased.
- Comment on “Parasite” Director’s New Sci-Fi Film Holds Up a Mirror to Life Under Trump 2 weeks ago:
Ah, I thought you meant branching in context of the main hook. Something along the lines of Primer.
Yeah, I totally agree with you regarding those point, it was pretty strange.
