FUCK!
- Comment on Rian Johnson Says ‘I Don’t’ Agree With Netflix CEO Over Movie Theater Model Being ‘Outdated’: I Want ‘Knives Out 3’ in ‘Many Theaters For as Long as Possible’ 2 days ago:
You should spend time with better people.
I go to the theater a few times a month. I encountered two rude people in the last 5 years. Better theaters have better people. Or at least encourage better behaviors.

You should go to better theaters
- Comment on First image of Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri in "Avatar: Fire and Ash" 2 days ago:
Is it the story that determines how much you enjoy a movie?
- Comment on HBO Boss Insists 'Harry Potter' Show Will Not Contain J.K. Rowling's Anti-Trans Views 3 days ago:
How much money are anti-trans bigots supposed to have?
- Comment on First image of Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri in "Avatar: Fire and Ash" 3 days ago:
It’s strange how in some circles, people love to hate on massively popular movies and things millions of people love and look forward to. So weird.
- Comment on Netflix's CEO says movie theaters are old news. Director Rian Johnson says his next movie belongs there anyway. 3 days ago:
Everyone’s complaints about theaters, are really just complaints about bad theaters.
Besides, the doors aren’t locked. So what are you even talking about?
- Comment on What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time? 1 week ago:
Witchblade from 2001
Easily more than a decade ahead of it’s time in many ways. It’s themes, style, and narrative would all be premier TV stuff today.
- Comment on What show are you surprise managed to finish, or get many seasons out of it at least, and avoid cancellation? 1 week ago:
I specifically remember thinking after the first episode, “This is cool, but I can see why it’ll never get a second season.” Then it got 4.
- Comment on "The Accountant 2" is Certified Fresh with 75% on Rotten Tomatoes 1 week ago:
But again he’s a superhero accountant. Not a healthy well adjusted person with autism. I wouldn’t expect to relate to everything.
Besides there is nothing in the movie that suggests he needs to do those things. I saw that as a routine instilled in him by his abusive father. Not some example of a proper coping technique. He would have learned in the great looking facility his father refused to send him to.
Maybe you
- Comment on "The Accountant 2" is Certified Fresh with 75% on Rotten Tomatoes 1 week ago:
Disagree. I felt seen. But I’m not a superhero accountant, so I could be wrong
- Comment on After years of avoiding the ER, Noah Wyle feels 'right at home' in 'The Pitt' 1 week ago:
As a trauma hospital ED XRay tech, (drastically under represented in The Pitt BTW). Maybe 90%+ are nice people. Even to staff.
- Comment on Alien: Earth | Official Teaser - Earth Day | Premieres Summer 2025 on FX and Hulu 1 week ago:
That’s what “Teaser” trailers are supposed to be.
Preproduction, no real footage, announcements of a movie that’s in the works. - Comment on What's a good feel good film I can watch next week? 3 weeks ago:
My go to movies when looking for that kind of thing, are Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Mr. Right.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
So you’re saying, since it’s their call, it makes sense to not have a weird conversion with them?
- Comment on Warner Bros. Confirms New 'Gremlins' Movie and 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' Sequel 3 weeks ago:
Exactly true. But celebrating a new coat of paint, instead of cleaning the old paint, is kind of silly. That’s my point.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
What’s worse, being weird, or just letting this happen?
- Comment on Warner Bros. Confirms New 'Gremlins' Movie and 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' Sequel 3 weeks ago:
There are no new stories. Haven’t been for millennia.
Stop asking for re-skinned old stories. - Comment on What TV series or seasons you've watched do you think needed a rewrite? Or any TV series taken a writing turn you didn't expect? 4 weeks ago:
If you mentally separate it into its own thing, it’s not all that bad.
But as an adaptation of Asimov’s Foundation Series? It may be the worst adaptation I’ve ever seen. Its more accurate to say it’s inspired by Foundation.
- Comment on 'Mickey 17' to hit streaming services after a disappointing month in theaters 4 weeks ago:
“Based on” wouldn’t be the right term. That would require some knowing intention to make a new version of an old story. I’m saying even if you try to make a new story, it’ll either suck, or be very much like another story written thousands of years ago.
- Comment on 'Mickey 17' to hit streaming services after a disappointing month in theaters 4 weeks ago:
That’s irrelevant to my actual argument.
- Comment on 'Mickey 17' to hit streaming services after a disappointing month in theaters 4 weeks ago:
If you’re going to oversimplify a story that much, remember there are only a dozen of so different stories, and they were all written thousands of years ago.
In this case, Mickey 17 would more accurately be Moses in Space, just like Snowpiecer is Moses on a Train. And since neither are original, neither are that great.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 5 weeks ago:
Carice is a cool option.
An old school, no frills sports car, that happens to be all electric.Sure, they’re hand built to order. But in that class, they’re surprising cheep. Less than $50K USD if I recall
- Comment on What are some of the most well-acted, engaging, complex or interesting antagonists or villains you've watched in TV? 5 weeks ago:
Scorpius, from Farscape
- Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today 5 weeks ago:
If A Working Man is based on a book, you can’t really call it original. It’s also another Statham action movie, which also can’t really be called original.
I am excited to see Death of a Unicorn.
- Comment on Max’s Big Bet on The Pitt Paid Off 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely the most accurate medical show I’ve ever seen. No question.
But XRay is always short changed on TV. Usually ignored entirely. On The PITT it took 7 hours to see the first XRay machine. They reduced a fractured ankle without taking images. Crazy
- Comment on Max’s Big Bet on The Pitt Paid Off 5 weeks ago:
It is very good, if you’re into medical dramas.
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 5 weeks ago:
It sucks that it was only two seasons, but it did have a clean ending. No cliffhangers, or anything begging to be finished. I was happy with that.

- Comment on ‘Mickey 17’ Projected to Lose $75 Million in Theatrical Run 1 month ago:
That’s why I liked it.
In several places it looked like I knew where it was going, then suddenly it surprised me with a different direction.
