Watched Dune again the other night and this scene is funny as hell. My man is talking to a psychic priestess and being all “I pinkie swear I won’t hurt them” and then he barely even waits for her to be out of earshot before he goes “I’m gonna murder the fuck out of those people.”

“Fancy music” is a phrase that only a truly childlike mind could conceive. If a five-year-old came toddling downstairs in his superhero PJs and interrupted his parents’ dinner party by asking them to turn off the “fancy music” all the adults in the room would go “aaww” in unison.

I feel like the critics who gave Black Adam low scores are the kind of people who sit around drinking wine while listening to fancy music and saying that movies are art.

@hobbsreturns It’s fun to have sex with people you’re not in love with. Sexual intimacy isn’t sacred. Nothing we do with our bodies is innately spiritual/special by default. We project significance onto certain activities and not others due to our beliefs/preferences. It really is that simple.

A reasonable person would be afraid to even think that thought if she was in the next room, much less say it out loud in a normal indoor speaking voice. Davie Dalmatians can’t even believe what he’s hearing.

The light above him snapping off to denote that he’s dropping the facade is kind of insanely stupid but also incredibly good. Such a cartoon villain move. Like something Plankton or Dr. Claw would do.

@JorCru It’s aged beautifully. Nineties time capsule that pitted De Niro against Pacino at exactly the right moment in both of their careers. They’re old enough to embody the weary gravitas the movie calls for, but still young enough to bring the thunder. Could’ve only been made in 1995.

@TheAlexSylvian I like to think it’s the latter, but his absorption is so complete that it makes the former also true. If he’d never set foot in the hotel in 1980 then he wouldn’t have been there in 1921, but he did, so he was. The hotel has that power. Like Grady says: “I’ve always been here.”

@hobbsreturns To assert that you can’t imagine what anybody could possibly get out of casual sex is to assert that your beliefs/preferences are the only valid ones. That’s all that says to me. If two people who both view sex as nbd meet and bang they can have a really great nice time together!

This is gonna sound unduly dramatic and I accept that but the rise of AI feels to me like nothing so much as, like, month six of coronavirus. It came out of nowhere, suddenly it was everywhere, we’re stuck with it forever, and now the air feels less breathable than it did before.

His amused, puckish “okay” in this scene is so astonishing. He’s able to simultaneously get across the body language of a little boy and the insouciance of a seasoned killer. And somehow it’s credible, it all coheres. Not so much as a hairline fracture in it. A top 5 performance.

Late Night with the Devil was one of my most anticipated new releases back when it was being misreported as the Lake Mungo guy’s return to directing (he’s an exec producer). Going from that to… this… is like biting into a candy apple and feeling your teeth graze a razor blade.

@HitFactoryPod Saruman’s death is hard to live without, but if it’s a package deal with the extra army of the dead stuff then I’m afraid I must. Cutting away just after Aragorn goes “what say you!?” and before we learn if they’ve accepted his terms is incontestably the superior RotK experience.

@Mace2Space I’ve seen over 100 movies from ‘98, and you and I have the same top three (albeit not in the same order). If anything my list is more basic than yours. Prince of Egypt is higher on mine. Dark City *and* Fear and Loathing both make the cut. If your TA saw it he’d have me expelled.

@coherentstates “Stampede” is the word that headlines typically opt for when crowd crushes occur, because it’s easier for people to wrap their heads around, but it’s a total misnomer. Four people per square meter. That’s when crush conditions arise. Nobody’s moving an inch, much less stampeding.

Every man who told a woman she was “overreacting” should be on a registry of some kind. Same goes for any man currently leveraging his own (feigned or sincere) outrage to try to get into a woman’s pants. If your name lands on both registries I think a swift execution is in order.
