I feel like it also put heavy emphasis on being fun first compared to previous films, but yeah it’s still the same Marvel style of humor.

Only if you think the ending is a good one for Neman. I think it’s a bad ending, where he gives in fully to self-abuse and abandons his crush, and even his dad to some extent, so he can keep forcing himself to try and be #1. The message, to me, is that it’s a stupid way to live and totally not worth it.

What?? That movie has everything, it’s like the perfect movie. This is the only answer that has left me genuinely confused.

Hard agree. Just generic sci-fi with obvious themes and plot.

I liked Oppenheimer because I found the man compelling, plus the cinematography and pace really complimented the drama of his life in a way that kept me engaged. I think one’s enjoyment of the movie really comes down to if they find the decisions he made interesting or dramatic enough to be worth watching for 3 hours. If you find that boring then there’s nothing really there to enjoy.

Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can’t name a single female character who isn’t a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn’t land for me, mostly because it’s so surreal that I can’t get invested in the characters as actual people.

The Big Lebowski has a very specific style of humor and if you don’t appreciate it for that, then there’s not really anything left lol. The plot meanders around aimlessly as a joke and then the film just ends abruptly with almost no real satisfying resolution.

I mean… It’s not high art, it’s just effective at being stupid and fun. It’s not really trying to be traditionally “good” and I think that’s why people liked it.

I got my account unbanned luckily, yes. I’m giving up on the site as a support avenue for now though. Seems like too much information is being filtered out to be helpful.

They’re just called “backup codes” now. But yeah.

If you choose to pack a portable monitor+kb+dock combo, you can use your phone as a computer instead with Dex or similar. Seems more practical to me in 2025.

Had a Galaxy S8 and loved it. Got a Pixel 6 and now the slow fingerprint sensor is the bane of my existence. Why did they put it on the front? Why is that the standard now? It sucks, it’s just slower and less ergonomic.
