Wat? That scene was crystal clear. 1000% friendzone. This is an interesting Rorschach test. I watched part of your clip. I see that the director intends ambiguity on this point. But what I'm saying is, watching that scene, it didnt seem even a little bit ambiguous to me.

The movie was every bit as good as the thread says it is, and the books even a little better. Although its such a faithful adaptation and the book is pretty short, so there isnt even a big difference.

Yes. It was obviously a "what if you could wish your way out of the friend zone" scenario. Which made it much more interesting, because it tempers the sympathy you'd otherwise feel for Nikki. Crystal clear that she knew he liked her but was just doing the "make you my servant and pretend I...

Just a great movie. Its really hard to find anything to criticize. Pretty amazing what they can pull off with a budget of this size with the right story. Not much of a horror movie, but a great movie nonetheless.

I don't see how you make a second season after that "infinite jasons but not infinite every other traveler" twist. Retcon the ending and it could work, but I don't see how you multiverse retcon that away. Guess I'll be tuning in to see how they handle it anyway. First season really was great.

Eh, doesnt really seem like the same thing. Bill Murray wasnt playing Ebenezer Scrooge, inhabitant of 19th century London. He was playing a modern (80s) TV executive. Depp is cast as Ebenezer Scrooge, inhabitant of 19th century London. The reservation I am expressing is that I fear he'll play...

Yes. Completely aside from the IT subject itself, I've noticed this too since LLMs became a thing. An awful lot of people are just like LLMs (except not as eloquent). What I mean is they have an "understanding" of the world that is entirely based on language models. Something they read...

Depp s schtick only works in cases where hes playing a character you don't already know. He always plays the same weird, creepy, awkward thing. It works for novel characters like Edward Scissorhands or Jack Sparrow. It doesnt work when he signs up to play an existing character because he...

In all of cinema history there has never been a time when they ignored the source material for casting, but then followed the source material for the rest of the production. Never. Zero times.

I mean if you're not prepared to jump through hoops of arbitrary made up bullshit are you really ready for what happens in the pol thread? I'm not saying the system makes sense, I'm just saying maybe it has a silver lining

I can feel the rageshaking through my monitor. Deep breaths bro. After the breathing exercises maybe you could try reading and addressing literally anything thats actually been said on the subject But first, breathe.
