I went from thinking it was a stupid and overrated movie one night to thinking it was a fun, worthy watch two nights later. Idk that I’d rate it very high still but it was pretty fun when alls said and done. I just wish they had made that middle section more clear of what was going on

I thought this a was a fabulous film, from music to story to execution in editing-

Obviously it has its cheesy moments with the cgi Tetris and 80's graphical puns on arcade games in the 80/90's, but the story sold me.

It reminded me of the Masterworks course by Aaron Sorkin when he discussed how to write "the social network"- how he found the "story". He basically goes on about finding a through line in a true story, and using it as an anchoring point to create the film. In the social networks case it was the lawsuit.

This lawsuit with Tetris rang true to me, or at least called me back to that video I watched.

I just watched "console wars" the south by south west winner (of some awards), so the Nintendo reps names I already knew.

I'd highly recommend watching that before this, to give you a bit of doc before the fic experience!

Overall though, I loved the dynamic, and it gave me a bit of condensed "Queens Gambit" vibe in the later acts.

It is a genius movie.

I just finished it and I loved it.

I figured the story was dramatized to make the movie more exciting, but I was truly fascinated with the story. I had no clue Tetris came from the USSR. So to learn everything that went into making it what it was turned out to be a great watch for me.

I’m a big fan of Taron Egerton as well

Funny how everyone I know who takes bare minimum precautions like masking and boosting hasn’t gotten it once, but sure, go off

I read papers, I evaluate them based on my knowledge and experience. Do that yourself or go find a few people with credentials you value and compare their responses and decide for yourself.

Or just google “covid” and “endemic” and find plenty of papers and articles.

Or try (and fail) to find any serious scientist taking about eradication or just think what the game plan for avoiding infection long term actually could be. (Nothing but how often you get it seems even remotely reasonable)

EDIT: the pattern of people blocking somebody so they can get the final word is a bit sad.

This is a unique, first-rate Military Satire, the best Military comedy since Buffalo Soldiers.

Why tf is this getting downvoted? This is Favts

Now you don't have to watch any more one armed fight scenes because you've seen the very best!

To be fair, it did seem weird that most jobs stopped requiring us to wear masks a year ago, but when I see the BTS of a movie being made, everyone is forced to wear them.

Jeez, it’s 2023, you can go to a nightclub with a few hundred sweaty people, it’s time to end all COVID restrictions.

I thought it was the biggest pile of shit,couldn’t get into it’s

Idk my dad and his mates were really into martial arts movies and they all rated her really highly, feels like she gets kudos among people who know the genre well

Me, Myself, and Irene, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal.

Or it's on Paramount plus if you have that.

Thanks for all of that. That's very interesting :) Maybe they simply needed something to cut in so the audio could continue on and the best they had was shots of their feet. Now, whether or not that's the right answer it is most certainly a logical possibility.

What is your expertise? I know for me that I worked in public health for two years so I had access to a lot of epidemiologists. Just curious what your qualifications are in regards to this topic?

More or less the entire human population has had it now. It’s happened. People always got sick, people always got degenerative diseases, people always died. We have a significant new cause of death and some people are going to have those things happen sooner. The world will continue turning. There will be a bit of a shock while the new more dangerous rates catch up, then things will settle down.

Maybe we’ll get more research and understanding to the “long” versions of infections which have always been a thing for many different infections. They’re rare and often mild but still always have been present and poorly understood.

Jump Street , super bad , horrible bosses well many but can't remember

I can’t imagine how many cases of disabilities we’re going to see in 5-10 years from this. We’ve already seen how bad Covid is in terms of increasing heart attack rates and dementia.

The dude below me really trying to keep pushing the whole “vaccines bad” narrative that’s been debunked like a million times already. Your risk of heart issues are significantly higher from Covid infection itself than they are from vaccines.

Kinda seems like it validates her and others viewpoints complaining about the continued restrictions.

Yes. We did. There’s nothing left to be done. It’s no longer about if you’re going to get it, everyone is, quite nearly everyone has. You’re just going to get it regularly and when you do the effects will generally be small, but considerably larger than cooronaviruses have been in the past.

We have a new disease which over the long term is going to be about as bad as the flu. Being human got a little more dangerous, but unavoidably so. Spending your whole life trying to avoid all diseases has its own dangers too.

Addams Family Values is so good. “We just want to play with him. Especially his head.”

Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Pure, gory, brilliance.

I can’t really deal with most American comedies, not like a phobia or anything just that the humour from that period in American comedy is just too much (thinking about Farrelly Brothers films here)

im honestly not the biggest fan of the movie, but it seems dubbed.

there was probably a cut in tape or for some other reason so they just used some B roll of their feet.

things like that with old film were used after they "got the take" so when editing through footage they just have too "look for the feet" and they would know "oh. rewind, thats the take we wanted"

now im speculating. but this was common in skateboarding videos where after they finally land the trick they would put their hand over the lens. so when editing they know where to look for the tricks that are landed.

As you can spend 15-25-35 minutes worth of film getting one trick.

I had the same experience when I watched Mulholland Drive. I've enjoyed the film dispite not getting everything. Then I watched some 20 min analysis on YouTube and it all made sense and you really appreciate the film even more.
