    What's this movie?

    That sounds like a good guess. Looking at Koontz filmography, it seems it fits very well with Hideaway.

    What's this movie?

    Maybe one for @Chukzombi . We are looking for a movie that a friend of mine saw. It did not ring a bell and my Google-Fu was found lacking. What we have to work with : - Probably a '90s film (or at the very least, probably seen in the mid '90s). - The plot is based on two people having some...

    True Detective

    Saw Tigers Are Not Afraid in 2018 in a Film Festival. A strange film ... children trying to survive in a not so distant future when gangs are the only form of society left. Bleak setting, but with some oniric elements inserted.

    Nope (2022)

    There certainly is more horror, sci-fi and strange shit in Nope while what Maverick has going for it is nostalgia and planes. If you don't care about planes, there is not much of a movie left.

    Nope (2022)

    Jaws, if the main protagonists wanted to take a picture of it to get an award from National Geographic.... The fact it's impossible to empathize with the main characters really hurt the movie for me. It's also a bit slow and repetitive, which does not help. There are a lot of original visual...

    For All Mankind

    If there is one thing I don't like, it's the "engineer thinks Margo is a spy" line. It makes almost zero sense to me. Firstly, she works on the assumption that some person implicated in the project is leaking the documents and eliminates the people based on what they have access to, but this is...

    There is one thing for sure, this show knows how to end episodes !

    Bullet Train (2022)

    This is based on a book and I suspect that it works better as a book, where you can have dark humor and wacky over the top situations and still give weight and substance to the characters. As a movie though ? It did not work for me. There is zero dramatic tension because we don't care about any...

    Catching up with some anime feature films of the last few years after seeing a few big ones that were borderline garbage (Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, the latest Detective Conan and, to a lesser degree, Belle). Saw The Night is Short, Walk on Girl and Ride Your Wave which were pretty good and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Swedish twitch streamer Miss Mikkaa is doing a no summon, no remap, one hand playthrough. Easy game !

    For All Mankind

    The main problem with the show now is that we already saw a variation of this story a couple years ago. It was called Mars.

    For All Mankind

    They did 2 seasons with the moon, I am sure they can do two with Mars. I am also pretty sure they will not insert interstellar travel into the plot, because the show remains somewhat anchored in reality. The closest exo-planet we detected (which is orbiting the closest star) is 4 light years...

    For insane Cuphead gameplay my stream of reference is TheMexicanRunner (also for a lot of odd retro games he randomly plays in his gauntlets).

    New Pole Vault record. 6.16 meters

    Dude is 22, not 17. Odd thing to get wrong. Also, pole vaulting is pure madness.

    We Own This City

    Just recently binged that. Great show, which is not much of a surprise considering David Simon's track record. I'll need to check The Deuce and The Plot Against America in a near future to complete his whole body of work.

    RRR (2022)

    Just a precision : S.S. Rajamouli (famous for his Baahubali films) is woking in the South of India in Telugu, while Bollywood movies are made in Mumbay in Hindi. To my untrained eyes, I don't see much of a difference of style between the two though.

    I checked only the first couple minutes, but I don't think it's that surprising that a person not interested in video game has no idea what twitch streamers or loot boxes are. Though, in this context, as Byr mentioned, the interviewer is here to be at the level of the least knowledgeable...

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    cabbitcabbit addressed it while I was researching, but indeed the fact she is in stuff you did not see or did not remember does not mean her career died in any way shape or form. After Brown Bunny (2003) she has been in 31 movies (including some notable ones like Manderlay, Broken Flowers...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Strange movie. It delivers so exactly what one could expect from it that it feels one could guess all the lines before they are uttered and that's entertaining and satisfying in a weird kind of way. It is also both a clone and a pastiche of the original - that was already pretty stylized - so we...

    The Callisto Protocol (Survival Horror)

    3 of the 5 leaders of Striking Distance are people who created the original Dead Space : Glen Schofield, Steve Papoutsis and Chris Stone (then as, respectively, creator/executive producer, co-producer and animation director). Also, Glen, at first, wanted Dead Space to take place in a space...

    Playstation 5

    Is someone at Sony really in love with Twisted Metal or is that an IP that actually makes money and that people are interested in ? I know I am not.

    The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2021)

    Reasonably entertaining. I think this movie lacks the genuine passion for cinema and humanity of a JCVD. Here we have more of a light hearted comedy with a dash of action and a dash of meta that just name-drops dozens of movie titles.

    Just seen Hit the Road by Panah Panahi. The name Panahi might be familiar to some as Panah is the son of Jafar, one of the most known iranian film director (I highly recommend Crimson Gold, Offside, Taxi Tehran or his recent 3 Faces - the last couple having been made using tricks as he has been...

    The Northman (2022)

    No reason in particular, it's just that most of the movies I see I see in theaters and The Witch was not released around here. I think The Lighthouse was, but I am not even 100% sure with COVID and all. There are also periods when I see a lot of movies and periods when I don't, so if a movie is...

    The Northman (2022)

    Saw this tonight. Decent attendance for a Sunday night. The doom and gloomer were probably in the wrong, but I guess we'll just need to wait and see what the numbers say. As for the movie, I was not overly impressed. In a way it's a bit meh because it's half assed. It's not great as some sort...

    The Northman (2022)

    It was released on the 21st or 22nd of April in most countries, but on the 28th in Germany and is not out yet in France and Brazil (or Switzerland for that matter), so maybe wait a bit ?

    For discoverability, streamers benefit greatly from interactions with each others. These interactions are greatly hampered if there are too many different platforms. That being said, a poor ads implementation that makes it tedious for viewers to jump from stream to stream is also bad for...

    Bruce Willis retires

    Look at it this way : during filming, it's a lot easier to replace the director than it is to replace the main actor. Also, for every story of an actor being a pain to work with, you find one of a director being a tyrant on set.

    Crimes of the Future

    Cronenberg's first two feature films (that feel a bit like overlong student films really) have been added as DVD bonus to some of his classics. One of those was already titled Crimes of the Future, but I have only a very vague memory of it. It's a none issue since this one is not supposed to be...

    With this type of stories, it's difficult to find the right balance between keeping things mysterious and moving the story forward. I feel this show makes a pretty decent job at finding this balance. Also, the whole structure works well (some people in this thread did not care for the 7th...

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    I had seen this talk by Kevin Smith a few years back, but rewatching it today gave it a whole new shine, because the producer at the heart of the story, Jon Peters, is a very funny secondary character in Licorice Pizza (played by Bradley Cooper).
