- Comment on ‘Dune 2’: How Artisans Pulled off Shooting the Arena Fight Scene With Infrared Technology 8 months ago:
What’s interesting to me is that there is no “going back” with the footage. Since the black and white effect isn’t done in post, there’s no colored original.
- Comment on I've just got an AppleTV+ sub. What should I watch? 8 months ago:
Apart from Common being the weakest actor and Rebecca Ferguson’s accent jumping around, it’s a pretty good show. Would recommend as well.

Even the people I know who watch movies/shows on their phones do it on landscape mode.

Sure, plot-wise there’s nothing else to spoil for me as a book reader. It was the casting that was a spoiler. I know there have been rumors for a while, but I brushed it off because it was impossible for that actor to be cast in that role if the book was followed. Then I read a coment on social media today of how they worked it in to fit the casting.

I think she changed outfits and this was just for the red carpet. I can’t imagine how she could move around and sit wearing that. She had 2 assistants just to help her walk to the center of the carpet.

I’m not saying they should be banned from attending the premiere, but man the spoiler from one of the cast attending is a bit of a bummer. Would’ve been great as a surprise for at least the general showing in a couple of weeks.

When I check the community for any discussion of a current movie/series that I just watched and can’t find one, I just create a new discussion post. The mod/s haven’t taken them down so I guess that is the way to go.
- Comment on [Poster] Official Poster for Dune: Part Two 9 months ago:
Poster is meh, but I saw the 10-minute preview and special trailer last night. It was amazing! I also got tickets for an advanced screening on Feb 25th. The hype is real!

Currently watching a korean series called “The Bequeathed”. I’m just on the 3rd episode but it’s been good so far. It’s giving me True Detective vibes, which is cool because I’m also watching TD Season 4. Still cautiously optimistic because korean shows are notorious for not being able to end properly, but I’m enjoying it so far.
I also saw the 10-minute preview of Dune Part 2 that included an exclusive trailer last night. Got tickets for the early screening on Feb. 25. The hype is real!
- Comment on ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 to Premiere on Netflix in 2024 9 months ago:
While true, a lot of korean shows do become victims of studios milking the shit out of them with sequels because they became popular. Being a foreign show doesn’t exempt them from greedy studios.
- Comment on [Discussion] True Detective - Night Country (Season 4) 9 months ago:
That jump scare at the beginning was something. I feel like the cleaners and/or workers at the crab processing plant are either complicit or directly involved with the killings. That sequence of interviews where they all non-chalantly say they didn’t really notice anything at the station is sus. Also, lol at the AI generated poster in the miner’s room, and the poster of Ive. I haven’t really checked the reviews but it seems a lot of people don’t like the show so far? It’s been good IMO.

Just watched the 2023 Japanese film Monster. This went under my radar until my wife suggested it. Very great film, and I love the execution of pov/perspective changes for each character as they all tie in together near the climax. The ambiguous ending was kinda weird for me. Not that I don’t like ambiguous endings, it’s just that this one was a tad bit too ambiguous. It reminds me of an old Mads Mikkelsen film that I won’t say so it doesn’t spoil you. It’s a good idea to go into this film blind. 8.5/10
- Comment on ‘Godzilla Minus One’, Remastered In Black And White, Sets U.S. Theatrical Run 10 months ago:
interesting. Not really sure if I’m gonna go see this version, but I can see the appeal. I hope they release the original on digital already so I can watch it at home.
- Comment on David Lynch’s Dune is returning to theaters in February for 40th anniversary 10 months ago:
Tempted to go. I’ve seen it a dozen times but never caught it in the theater. Not sure if it’s worth it though. They should show the unofficial spicediver cut.
- Comment on The Official Golden Globes Pre-Show presented by Variety | ET 10 months ago:
I already said this on the other golden globes thread, but this entire pre-show was a mess. Random/wrong cuts, wrong timing on the host cues. The dude host was either too nervous or had too much caffeine and his interviews were awkward and had a lot of dead silence. They ran out of things to say with 2 minutes remaining.
- Comment on The 81st Golden Globe Awards 10 months ago:
The Variety/ET pre-show was a dumpster fire. And Jo Koy is bombing the hosting job too.

Yes, but most drivers will tend to avoid or drive carefully around them when they see the sticker. I definitely allow more space than usual when I’m behind one. If they’re behind me, I try to move to a different lane.

- Comment on Spotify doesn't allow podcast ratings unless you use the mobile app 11 months ago:
There are a lot of features all these companies make available only on their mobile apps, because it’s where they have the most control (and access over your data). It’s the same for social media sites as well, because you can limit them a number of ways on a desktop browser.

- Comment on Appliances with an off light. 11 months ago:
For soundbars at least, the off light is there because there shouldn’t be any lights on while it’s being used so as not to distract the person watching tv. So the only way to know if the device is off is to have a light on.
