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.

The guy writing this tweet is exactly right.

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.

Imagine being that ignorant about the culture you grew up in, and then logging onto the internet to brag about your ignorance.

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.

No, you do, just like literally everyone else. Nolan. Nolan's casting director. Everyone else on the set. Every person who encounters her on the street. Thats what fascinating about this emperor has no clothes phenomenon. In the affected part of the population, this psyop has overcome forces...

Havent seen it, don't know or care about movie industry financing details or rottentomatoes algorithms There is no fucking way thats a real 96% audience score. Zero fucking chance. Not even a possibility worth considering.

At the current rate, it will be about 3 years before society's literacy has degraded to the point that firesofheaven.org will be considered fine literature - kind of like Shakespear; the average person won't even be able to comprehend such old-fashioned language written in "text".

Like I said, its at least 3. Not "one 15 second stinger". I don't know why a few of you are so fixated on this point. Look, most of the MCU post endgame has sucked. Doom is just as likely to suck. Modern MCU sucks at building up a good story. All of that is true. None of that means that X-men...

Theres no way they're actually addressing this. Helen being black isnt the problem. Helen being hideously, repulsively ugly is the problem. Now granted, she's ugly cause shes black. But the race isnt directly the problem, its the ugliness. Did they address the ugly problem or just address...

Thats fair but its how they've always done it. Starting with Thanos and just about everything since. Honestly I've never been a fan of the post credits scene as preview, but its as much as signature of the MCU as rapid fire witty banter.

I'm not even a super fan. I've criticized the post Endgame MCU as much as anyone else. I just feel compelled to respond when people say dumb things, across nearly any subject. Its a weakness. if I'm being honest.

X men has been referenced at least 3 times in 3 separate MCU credit scenes. tHeYrE RaNDoMlY tHroWing CharaCteRs In!

Absolutely, this has been telegraphed like 2 or 3 separate times. I'm starting to think comic book movies are too complicated for some. I guess setting up for the next movie does require paying attention and remembering things.

I still can't tell if you're being serious. Sometimes there are inside jokes around here that I miss. I didn't realize you could submit resumes with just an anonymous forum name. My CV doesn't say Aldarion, fwiw

I don't mean this as any kind of argument or mockery. In my field, "a good word" from a guy who knows me from an anonymous video game forum wouldnt count for any more than "a good word" from the homeless guy in the tent under the bridge. Is it really so different in the fields youre looking...

Worth reading. I liked this for a couple reasons. 1. The analogy and the theory itself - while most "UAP videos" quite obviously don't show anything at all, a ball lightning like phenomenon would explain some of them well. Whether UAP has anything to do with ball lightning, its a good analogy...

Yes, and if we did this society-wide it would fix a lot of problems with the modern world. Not all of them, but seriously most of them.

Posting text where the whole fucking content is bigger than H1 is worse than posting all caps What the actual fuck is wrong with the internet in 2026. We used to live in a society.

Peeling potatoes is one of those things like cutting an onion. Done right, its trivially easy, a non-chore. Done wrong, its retarded and you'll probably cut yourself and waste half the potato. Its one of those deceptively simple tests of kitchen IQ

If the spoilers are to be believed, the events in this movie are the direct consequence of the actions taken in endgame. But somehow endgame doesnt count as buildup for this movie. Its like if the shitty star wars prequels came out and people tried to argue that the originals didnt count as...

I acknowledged the quality problems with recent MCU installments. It doesnt change the point at all. The entire MCU franchise counts as buildup for this movie. Its directly playing off plot points from Endgame, ffs. Again, it may be shit (I plan to watch it - it doesnt sound bad at all to me...

At least two or three people have said how this has "no buildup". With all due respect, thats just not the timeline we're in. In reality, its had the entire MCU Avenger franchise as buildup. Plus a few shitty movies (and one moderately OK movie) since then. I'm not defending M She U or...

Out of town yesterday, we stopped for fast food. The bitch at the window had those fucking 2 inch long nails. While working in food service. I'm not joking about this. Society needs to stop allowing this. I know nobody wants to picture it but look. That bitch had to wipe her ass sometime in the...

Whats the question here? Are you suggesting that the movie will come out, and the black helen and zippertits achilles will be totally resolved because the camera guy held the camera at some particular angle? Some actor made really great facial expressions? The sound mixing was just wow chefs...

No, the original greek gyros are also stacked meat on a vertical spit. The ground meat version, and mixing it with beef, is a relatively recent American innovation that has now become nearly universal. But its still not traditional, its just the version you find basically everywhere now. Doner...

Yeah the usual home instructions are either a sheet pan under the broiler, or sear them in a super hot pan with beef fat. I've been experimenting with homemade gyros since we processed our lambs. I havent found either of these methods really successful for replacing roasting on vertical spit...

Not a single shot of the face that launched the thousand ships. What a funny bind theyre in. "If we don't raceswap we're not eligible for awards, but if we show the raceswap no one will watch the movie" So we get an all white trailer and a black Helen.

Threadbans are flying around like UAPs at area 51 under the weirdly banhappy mods, probably a quarter of the forum is banned from one thread or another, but somehow Bubbles still hasnt been banned from the thots thread. I mean if there was ever a case to be made for a thread ban, thats the one.

Wait there are people who think MMOs are whats gonna "compromise your info"? LMFAO
