    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Have 3 good films that I've stumbled upon in the past few months:

    Crimes of the Future

    This was pretty bad. It had the Cronenberg design flair going for it but it felt completely forced and almost like he was counting on his bio-tech sketches brought to life in film to carry things as if he was Giger. The music was awful and that, combined with the editing, was really trying to...

    Watcher (2022)

    I watched this during a recent binge of 4 new horror/suspense movies. This was really well done and was very suspenseful and atmospheric. I've seen it done a couple times so far but the fish out of water trope has turned into a very useful foil to modern technology and the ever present issue of...

    The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2021)

    I 100% agree but I did find it a refreshing turn from the Mandy style Cage being Cage movies to this just being comedy. Him and Pascal played really well off of each other, for some reason him shouting "not the bees" when talking about his alternate belt buckle really got me right at the end...

    Better Call Saul

    I kind of hate Lalo as a character. He's a great actor and his actions move the plot forward but he just feels much too neatly placed almost all of the time and what he does feels out of place and too convenient. Walter White and science got replaced by Jimmy and grifting really well for driving...

    The Northman (2022)

    Immediately after finishing this I also thought that it was no Valhalla Rising. This didn't even feel like an Eggers movie after watching his previous two. He does surreal deep dives into specific periods and this just felt like art house viking movie compared to the atmosphere and tone and...

    Broadcast Signal Intrusion (2021)

    This was a pretty great neo-noire suspense horror. It's on Shudder right now also. A lot of really weird imagery and a lot of great tension building. A few story elements feel a bit scattershot but that ends up tying well into the themes or paranoia and forcing a hypothesis to match the desired...

    If Dean Stockwell had asked Ziggy to get him out of there instead of shooting himself all would have been forgiven

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Is new Jack going to replace old Jack? I was a bit iffy on The Boys guy at first but it ended up being a great episode. He was probably the most reserved of all of their guests and seemed to fit in with the discussion much more naturally than any of the others.

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    main, haven't started up the DLC yet. The end of the main campaign was anticlimactically very frustrating

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    I ran ranger, rogue, cleric and paladin for my first playthrough and had some rough spots but ended up clearing everything. I think that my cleric ended up being the MVP for the playthrough. Being able to cast sunlight with at least one character is almost necessary but other than that I think...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    His son was about ready to nail a tight 15 before his mother stopped him

    X

    Of all the Ti West movies this is my least favorite one. This one is so retro that it's just already been done and been done just as well. It ended up feeling like it went too meta, the director in the movie was going to elevate porn above just being porn and this seemed like it was elevating...

    From

    This feels like it's going to be pure Lost mystery box at this point. They just keep adding more and more things and haven't resolved anything yet. Final episode looks like it's adding even more from the synopsis. It's an interesting enough premise but it's not like they've been renewed for...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Neighbors didn't complain, probably due to being in a historic neighborhood filled with a bunch of people that have a lot of weird animals (and you're right, they most likely would have eventually since he was still young and hadn't gotten into full rooster asshole mode yet), but the rooster...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    holy shit, does anybody have any advice for how to deal with keeping a rooster quieter? I bought 4 chicks in Nov that were all supposed to be female but one ended up being male. Probably being too sentimental with him but I built him his own coop and put him as far away from the hens as I could...

    Smiling Friends

    This guy's humor is fucking weird beyond what Adult Swim usually does

    Archive 81

    Sound design was top notch in this. There were so many bizarre ambient sounds included in the score and just thrown in from time to time that sound almost identical to weird house sounds or something that people would find to be unsettling in normal everyday life that I often found myself...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I just re-watched it again the other day to see if I was remembering it all correctly. It goes in so many directions. It starts off like a modern, jump scare, almost retelling of The Ring in the intro but with no rules, you just kind of have to piece them together. Then it has an almost neo...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    The Empty Man is kind of a weird gem, pretty much like they were saying. The length part that they didn't like is due to an incredibly bizarre opening that goes on for a while. I had thought that Amazon was showing me the wrong movie at first because the opening is so unlike what I was expecting...

    Screenwriting

    Also, mail a copy of your scripts, stories, novels and poems to yourself then just file them away so you have the postmark officially dating your work in case somebody tries to steal your stuff. It's the poor man's copyright but an incredibly effective and easy way to hold onto IP.

    I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

    His episode of The Characters is the best one by far. He's also cowrote Detroiters with Sam Richardson. If you like I think You Should Leave he's pretty consistent with his style and it's prevalent in all of his other projects. Even his stuff on SNL was great. Detroiters (TV Series 2017–2018)...

    Dexter: New Blood

    Something should have wrapped back to the red herring. Just abruptly dropping that when it was no longer needed was terrible writing.

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    There are a couple pieces in place to make the skeleton of this but it really doesn't operate like you're describing. The NPC visitors tries to add random citizens to your town but they kind of just wander around and then get pissed off when you won't let them out through the locked gates after...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    The game is so good at setting things up like that where the setting and ai create their own stories for you on the spot

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    Even with a fully decked out army consisting of 16 guys in top level armor and 40+ weapon skills and 12 man squad with 6 guys who are martial arts 70+ the Ashlands just got done kicking my ass this past week. Just gave up trying to raid the tougher domes for loot because the thralls are just too...

    Sexiest Race

    They can be super hot but it does take a diligent hair removal regime for them to maintain at that level and when they get old they start to look like the old man from UP

    South Park

    Sadly all of my friends from when I was growing up turned out this way. It really puts things into stark perspective on how being raised properly affects every part of your entire life going forward. All of my childhood friends had the cool parents that would let them do whatever they wanted and...

    Rimworld

    Rimworld is like a government job, you just keep failing upwards until you accidentally get something right then a bunch of mech clusters land in the middle of your town and murder everybody. Figure out food right off of the bat then you'll most likely die during winter then you start over...

    Stone isn't like metals, it doesn't have a specific world representation to click on, you just throw a quarry down and check the stone quality and then your guys mine your quarry

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    My current game that I've had on standby for most of the year up until now has me in a full out war with the Holy Nation with a pretty decent sized army. I've got my elite expedition force, my standing army who all have naginatas and a logistics crew that sets up camps, does field medic work and...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    Keep track of what faction's territory that you are building in as well because they will be coming to collect tribute or to make sure that your squad is made up of the right race and sex. For the most part, the better locations with abundant fertility and water and metals are under the umbrella...

    Post Your Pet

    Well, through private investigators I managed to track her down, she cancelled her phone and drove across country to New Haven, CT and is living in her friend's house there with the dog. Filed a police report with Phoenix PD which took a lot of clever wordplay to even get them to listen to since...

    RIP Araysar

    Yes, yes he did but when you're a gigantic fucking liar you tend to lose track of the multitude of untrue things that you have put out into the world
