    Garfield (2024)

    Mandatory reminder that the only good thing about Garfield is that it allowed the existence of Garfield Minus Garfield.

    Directed by Brian Yuzna! That's a name I didn't heard in a while! And to be fair, looking at his filmography, I am not exactly sure why I know the name. I guess The Dentist was kinda known at the time. One of those VHS rental era horror film... He also co-produced Crying Freeman... other than...

    Monkey Man (2024)

    This is somewhat competently done, but feels more like a string of citations of other revenge movies than something original. There are buds of ideas here and there, but they never really bloom. I did not time it or anything, but if I had to guess, I would say about a third of the movie is...

    Dune: Part Three

    I'll bite on that one since it's unbearably stupid. There is clearly a deliberate effort to increase the diversity in the casts of Hollywood movies. Of course, as a spectator, the narrower your tastes, the more affected you are (negatively, like in your case, or positively). The notion though...

    Twitch.tv

    The average concurrent viewers is 2.5 millions, but for a live streaming platform to make money the maths are rather complicated. It's all well and good to have more sets of eyes to show ads to, but that also means more bandwidth costs. I am not sure if there is some sort of composing factor...

    Twitch.tv

    The main problem is that half the people posting in this thread don't watch Twitch. They just regurgitate whatever pops in their Twitter or their righteous outrage reddit feeds. As a result we have posters who think all IRL streamers are of the pranking douchbag variety and that 99% of female...

    Yeah, CDawgVA is such a blight with his cycling around Japan in lesser known places while collecting funds for the Immune Deficiency Fundation :rolleyes:

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    He co-wrote the screenplays and it's an adaptation, so whatever will happen to the characters in the next movie (if there is one) is up to him really.

    Fleishman Is in Trouble

    Not bad, but not very memorable as I saw it a few months back and had to think a minute before remembering what it was about and that I even saw it.

    What is "common sense" and how do you deem something is "overtly sexual" though? The nature of the beast is that rules will be set and then some people will try to explore the limits of these rules, which automatically will result in some back and forth. That will happen no matter what the rules...

    3 Body Problem

    Proof this a documentary: aliens computers making our auto-correct softwares turn "pilot" into "piolet". What insidous agents of chaos! :lumie:

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Did not enjoy that part two as much as the first part. I think one of the main aspect is that in part one we discovered Villeneuve's vision for the Dune universe and it was literally awesome. This time around that discovery is obviously no longer there or at least not as much (there is still a...

    City Hunter (2024)

    I guess it should also be mentioned that the Jackie Chan movie has very little to do with the original material.

    Spring 2024 Anime Thread

    Intrigued by the pair of original movies by this Team OneOne studio. They seem to share the same universe maybe? Do people who follow the industry know more about these two movies?

    City Hunter (2024)

    There was. There is also a well known animated serie. I think, a bit like Lupin the 3rd, the serie is more light and comedic than the original manga? Never read the manga and only watched a bit of the serie back in the '90s (the french dub was notoriously goofy - with some quote becoming memes -...
