At least the post right above yours WAS being ironic. At least I certainly hope so...

The post above mines is a Rick and Morty copy and pasta. I'm not 100% sure about the specific post I quoted though lol.

I can understand why people like Tenet, but to say that all the criticisms against the movie was 100% intentional is just hilarious.

Tenet was a masterpiece. The one major flaw was casual viewers couldn't follow the intricacies of the plot. There have been individuals that have watched the movie 5 times over and still don't understand what's going on. They simply complain about the sound, I don't want to spoil anything but it has a very specific reason. It's okay to just say you didn't get it.

Please tell me you posted this ironically.

Very clearly justified.

This.

Thanks, but I meant the musical scores for Pinocchio that won vs Disney's Pinocchio.

On a side note, Puss was great, but did anyone else feel like it was just more of the same?
Like "this is amazing, but I swear I've seen it (or the variation of the scene) before" type of deal.

You can say that about almost every movie made though. Like yeah we've seen this kind of stuff before, but it's how effective of a movie it's trying to be is what ultimately makes a movie experience good or bad.

I guarantee it's just "this frame has THIS nonspeaking cameo, but in this version it's THIS nonspeaking cameo"

It honestly will feel like this.

The Prestige is one of the best films ever made.

That's definitely an opinion I can get behind. It's in my personal top 10 movies of all time. I had reserves about the sci fi element in the movie, but after more thoughts and repeated viewing it only helped elevate the movie than hurt it. It does feel out of the bloom, but it enhances the movie and the message it was trying to convey.

Christopher Nolan has way more Hits that go beyond and above than Misses, like Tenet. So I'll still be watching Oppenheimer because odds are the Historical Piece movie won't devolve into "Exposition the Movie" like Tenet was.

The funny thing is...the critics are actually all caught up and the ones complaining the most about it

Yeah like I'm of the opinion that critics should be honest with their opinions, but to dock off points for going into a more serious route is just kinda petty? Like clearly the trailers already showed what kind of mood they were going for. It's still the first episode and there's a lot of ways for it to go downhills, so maybe some of these critics saw ahead? Most of the ones I read from only saw the first 2 episodes so we'll see.

Probably because in a lot of cases people will actively shame others for partaking in buying things from companies deemed unethical.

Honestly this, most of the ones who think it's a copout are ones who have a "houlier than thou" attitude that wants to shame others for not participating in the same boycott as them. When you come in shaming, you better as hell also practice what you preach or people won't listen to you. If a person doesn't want to join in the same boycott as you, then just leave them alone. I grew up Southern Baptist so I know all about using shame tactics to try to "convert" others.

Never ask agaib why marvel movies have the humor they do. Skimming the reviews for this and the biggest complaint is the tone and seriousness

The biggest complaint is that most people going in blind have no idea the background information. Majority of the exposition in the first episode is about the current situation, not how it came about. It's fair for them to say that, but to chop off points for it is kinda unsettling. Clearly this show is meant for viewers who have been keeping up with the MCU.

I haven't saw the Flash, but from all i saw so far, easily Multiverse of Madness. It couldn't even be a good super hero nor multiverse movie. The only thing saving it from being a disaster was Sam Raimi horror scenes.

Most likely run out of air. That submarine is AIR TIGHT, oxygen cannot enter or leave the vessel. People naturally can only breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide, thus oxygen is depleted over time.

It's been said that the only way to open that specific submarine is from outside... Making it virtually impossible to escape the submarine by normal means, provided they don't have any power tools to break free.

God, that sounds like a fucking nightmare.

Can we please wait until we get the full story, before we begin judging this poor young man?
We don't know the context, it might be a victim who has got tired of his bullies, we just don't know.

So do we have a full context to this incident yet?

Turbam posted...

It's a canon event

lol

That's why I tell everyone to avoid twitter like the plague it is.

Nope, never played it.

Where's Elden Ring?

Blue_Popo posted...

Her death needs to stick, too many fake deaths/revivals and when some one dies it needs to be a heroic sacrifice. This is good, having a US agent body near a terrorist attack in russia is good (though stolen from cod) setup

You know I mostly agree with this. Sure Monica's character does feel wasted if this is a real death, but this shows not only tension and risks involved, but also like you said a really good set up as well. There are just way too many fake deaths in the MCU in my opinion.

BakonBitz posted...

The directors apparently said they used AI because of its shapeshifting qualities and alien-like look to it to mimic the Skrull, but apparently they are unaware of how it works (stealing other people's art).

Which honestly seems fair. Most average peeps aren't going to know how AI stuff works anyways.

Requiem posted...

...are they really "content creators" if all they do is make cut and pastes of other people's work?

Do you consider people who sit in front of a screen and record themselves playing video games as content creators?

okay, but seriously which CEman was this?

Okay got to watching it, best solid first episode from the MCU so far. I like it's getting to the politics, but I can see this type of plot devolving to clicheds if done wrong. I hope it sticks its landing in the finale.

I barely have any body hair to begin with, so I never have to shave. One perk for being asian I guess.

It's always been

Anyone having that problem where the episode will get stuck on the disney plus logo and won't start the episode? I've been getting that a lot when trying to watch a new episode of anything on there. No problem when trying to watch a movie or an episode I already saw.

I wouldn't feel stupid. If anything it just means God is more incompetent when it comes to evidence.

Do you think courts hand down rulings based on the sorts of assumptions that laypeople make?
It's not an assumption, it's a calculation. Women tend to be a child's preferred parent, they tend to have a closer bond with them, more likely to take time off work to be with them, less likely to be the parent that ran out on them, etc.
The "blank slate" theory of human behavior that progressives often hold is weird

I don't even know what to say other than thanks for proving my point.

I actually tried it and it's not bad.

tehzeldafanboy posted...

Goddamn patriarchy, always punishing and oppressing men.

Do you not agree that the reason the courts tend to favor, on average, Women as oppose to Men when it comes to stuff like Alimony and Child custody because there's an assumption that women are better caretakers while men are the breadwinners?

Both movies were phenomenal and I would've preferred Puss in Boots The Last Wish to win, but either one winning was a plus for animated movies in general. From watching Spiderverse 2 though, that movie is easily going to take animated movie of 2023.

Torgo posted...

I really hope you aren't turning this into a "men's rights" thing about alimony or child custody...

Let's not pretend there isn't also a generally terrible attitude about believing women or taking women seriously in a lot of places.

Wait what? I'm just stating a simple fact to why there's a double standards to the way most of the courts treats men and oppose to women. Many of these double standards are deeply rooted in traditional gender roles, which is something a lot of MRA (mens right activist) like to argue with me against. They want traditional gender roles and want to courts to treat them "equally" when I tell them that they essentially what their cake and eating it as well because what they're asking for is simply impossible without breaking down traditional roles first.

I hope Anthony continues his interview series because they're actually pretty great. Great to see him go back to his roots though.

Yeah, it's the kind of result I expect to find on a video game forum lol.

I got a big vacation plan ready for me and my family 2 weeks from now.

Noname12 posted...

Yes, because 70 active posts spread through-out a month in a forum defines your entire time or existence lmao.

Yes

Yeah I heard it's a decent game on its own, but the microtransactions in that game was pretty horrible. I'll argue worst than something like Raid Shadow Legends.

Will_VIIII posted...

He posts content like this all the time. The motivation is pretty clear

It's that or he posts about his lover boy Boogie. What a sad existence to have lol.

ZevLoveDOOM posted...

after watching the first 100 episodes, im starting to understand why One Piece is so damn long.

dont get me wrong, im loving the series but the pacing tends to be really slow at times... not to mention all the filler in between. lol

The anime has really poor pacing. The manga, on the other hand, has incredibly fast pacing because Oda stuff soo many stuff in his panels lol. People say that Dragon Ball Z has poor pacing, but I consider it Speedy Gonzalez over the One Piece anime pacing.

It's pretty obvious that TC brought up an old story because it's going to stir things up in CE. It was like pogo_rabid when they posted an old story about a guy refusing to give up his seat for a pregnant woman, except instead of an actual article regarding it all he posted was a picture of the title and a brief description to making the story in favor of the guys and everyone went through the topic like it was a real story. It wasn't until I actually try to get to the root of the article (literally +70posts in) and found out they deliberately lie about the story and it was just a reddit AITA situation where most people in the topic concurred the guy was the true asshole all along.

This is what happens to kids that never get their ass kicked

Someone needs to either kick their ass or put them behind bars, cause fuck em if they are gonna treat anybody the way they treated those people just trying to do their job and make a small paycheck

People always blame the parents in how they raise their kids, but you do know it's still very possible for a kid to grow up in a healthy, non-abusable, environment and still come out like a little piece of shit right? At some point, there has to be some level of personal responsibility involved in stuff like this, especially among teens. Yes their brains are still developing and don't have a whole lot of life experiences, but I guarantee you that most teens know what they're doing is wrong in extreme cases like this.

Yeah the big difference is how genders are treated is deeply rooted in traditional gender roles, which plays a big role to why men get screwed over by the courts on a higher average than women.

If there one thing that's very interesting about baby circumcision is that it's a subject that is very unique in that both Left and Right/Liberals and Conservatives/Democrats and Republicans ALL have very different opinions, on an individual level, regarding it. In fact, it seems to be a United States vs Other First world countries that seems to have the biggest divide in terms of acceptance of the practice or not. With that said, United States and parts of Australia are the only known first world countries I look up that actively practice baby circumcision. Rest of the first world countries don't participate in it.

I will say this as someone who was circumcised at birth, but my dad was rushed to make a decision on whether or not to get me circumcised the moment I was born. In fact, he didn't even know what it was, but the thing he did tell me was that the doctors or nurses only explained to him that it would make the penis cleaner and less susceptible thing things like penile cancer. So of course, especially when english isn't his first language nor was he comfortable with it, would just give the go for it. This, honestly, could explain how so many millenial boys were getting circumcised at a higher rate. I believe in consent and bodily autonomy so I will not be doing it to any of my boys when they're babies. If they want it, they can do it the moment they actually can think for themselves as fully grown adults.

Looks loyal.

I can show the worst unboxing video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj0N-GJZLMc

he never unboxes it

I'll definately say this, I had a friend who weighed 280lbs and the moment he stopped drinking soft drinks, beer, or any other surgary drinks of any sort he literally lost close to 40lbs in a year and never did any actual exercise of sort. Just flat out taking out unhealthy drinks and replacing it mostly with water can help you lose weight without you knowing you are losing weight.
