When they get to jaspers house you hear them say, "where is he we know he came here a few weeks ago" they had followed him there once and returned on the hunch that he may have came there.
it came to mind while i was watching the news last night with the conflict going on, just made me think of the 'uprising' scene in Bexhill (which was obviously written as a direct comparison to the gaza situation anyway).
I’m pretty strict on movies (5/10 = a solid movie, didn’t hate, will probably watch again, 6/10 = did some notable stuff, 7/10 = excellent, will absolutely watch again, 8/10 = outstanding, brought some new ideas or just did everything incredibly, 9/10 = masterpiece, 10 = ???)
I gave Children of Men a 10. I don’t have many 10s.
I’ll check out A.I. again. It was kinda boring when I first watched it, but I was pretty young when it came out and it wasn’t my style of movie. I think it would be now.
When I was younger I watched The Prestige and that was extremely boring to me, but on a rewatch I couldn’t keep my eyes off it. That one’s a 9, teetering towards a 10 now.
Oh shit, my most recent high rating: The Skin I Live In, 9/10. Holy fucking dick, very confusing and mortifying film. Presented perfectly and conceptually unmatched. Not for everyone… pretty much every content warning possible.

I gave both Sunshine and Event Horizon a 7, actually.
I’ve added What Dreams May Come to my watchlist—never saw that one!
The Prestige is about MAGIC. I find it to be a masterpiece.
Looking at my account, some highs:
Being John Malcovich: 9
The Lighthouse: 10
One Cut of the Dead: 9 (if anyone is reading this and hasn’t seen it, do NOT look anything up beforehand, and watch past the credits. GO IN BLIND. That is VERY important.)
Full Metal Jacket: 10
Dancer in the Dark: 9 (it even made me fucking cry, which nothing ever does except the ending to The Best Show Ever Made, Six Feet Under)
The Pianist: 10
Funny Games (American): 9 (highest rating for a horror movie from me, I think)
Fucking thankyou. 10/10 is metaphysical perfection. Was that smash burger from the guy with the cough really metaphysically unimprovable? Fucking really, Dan?
5/10 is worthwhile and respectable. Or it should be.
Much love. I rate games and albums the same way. Some of my favorite games, movies, and albums are 6s from me. I’ve rated things 9 that didn’t even really enjoy (Tár got a 9 from me and did not at all click, but I thought it was a masterpiece for whatever sense that makes.)
I hate most professional reviewers so much. Their “6 is shit and less is even more shit” scale is idiotic. I’ve got some 3s and 4s that I love… fuckin Terror Toons is a 2 and I couldn’t love it more.
Like reviewers, is Atomic Heart REALLY a 9-10?! Is Starfield a 9?! Fucking bonkers world in reviewers’ minds. DEATHLOOP a 10?? the fuck

That’s cos D9 was about apartheid so you saw a modern apartheid state and saw a correlation.
Neil Blomkamp is South African. D9 was about the group areas act that removed people from their homes into townships all over South Africa.

Kinda funny that my memory of it is that rips were available before the movie hit theatres here.

Oh gawd I’m not on my computer so I can’t find my IMDB but from the best of my memory:
Sunshine: 7
Requiem: 10
Event Horizon: 6
A.I.: Unrated because I don’t remember anything about it hahaha
I might have Sunshine and Event Horizon swapped, too. But Requiem was a 10 for me.

Just remembering it brings me to tears at that one scene near the end

Fish's? Do you mean fishes?
ubermeisters@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
sudo_shinespark@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
But Fishes would still be the proper plural. Fish’s is possessive

Why do people like this movie? It sucked and the ending was replaced with an even worse one

As far as suspense thrillers go it was a good one. Not my favorite genre but it was engaging.
