Hi Cinemacels. It's now been over a day since the creation of this hole, and I haven't really done anything besides pinning my starshit rants and upmarseying all your great posts.
Since I'm technically the owner of this hole I figured I should probably set some guidlines:
Rules:
- No spam. Don't make repeated no-effort posts, especially if they're about capeshit. Shitposting is ok if it's not incessant
...
- No low-effort bait Shitty baitposts will be removed unless they're funny and create drama. Trying to generate seethe in the comments is fine though.
...
- Excess wingcuckery Really this should be implied by “No spam”, but in case you're severely neurodivergent I'll spell it out for you: REPEATED POLITICOID POSTING IS SPAM.
...
- RDrama rules self-explanatory
Feel free to break these if you think I won't care. Unless you're making the hole unusable or i'm personally annoyed by your posts, I probably won't.
Other than that, feel free to post whatever, stay on topic most of the time but idk that much. Enjoy posting and enjoy the hole!

It's on apple +. And since it's an original, they threw a frickload of money into a very well crafted show. The result is gorgeous
I was very confused after watching the new jurashit park because it made no sense whatsoever. I just watched it because I liked the original Jurassic park movie and I could spend a fun few hours with my niece.
Prehistoric planet more than made up for all the headache caused by Jurassic Park.
It's narrated by David Attenborough and music by Hans zimmer.
It's genuinely mind-blowing. So freakin awesome.
Absolute stunning and gorgeous CGI resulting in almost photorealistic dinos. The visuals are crazy good.
The only drawback of the show is because they are introducing dinos from fossils, they have limited info, mostly about their feeding, brooding and mating habits. So it's just eat, frick, have babies.
Which is hilarious since like 50% of the show time is devoted to dino neighbors fighting amongst themselves to show who is the chaddest male so that they can mate with females.
I literally can't stop thinking "what kitty does to a motherlover" while watching this show

I'm sure most of you are aware of or have seen at least one version of Blade Runner. Some of you might not be aware that there are at least five different versions of the film that range from minimal to dramatic differences in tone and pacing, for instance, the theatrical release contains a voiceover dub from the perspective of replicant hunter Deckard, while many of the subsequent cuts do not.
Since the film's initial release, there has always been an argument among fans as to whether or not Deckard is himself a replicant, provided memories (much like the character of Rachael), and sent to hunt his kind. There were always minor ambiguities that could reasonably lead a person to consider this as a possibility, though in the initial theatrical cut, as well as most of the other releases over the years, it's only ever vague conjecture.
About a decade ago, Ridley Scott released the "Final Cut" of the film, which incorporated stock footage from an entirely different film of a unicorn, and the way this footage is cut implies that Deckard dreams of this unicorn regularly. Later, the character Gaff, another detective and minor antagonist of Deckard, places an origami unicorn in Deckard's apartment. The implication clearly being that Gaff somehow has knowledge of Deckard's dreams, which could only be the case if he were briefed on the memories that make up Deckard's "programming". When asked about the possibility of whether Deckard is a replicant, Scott enthusiastically agreed, stating that this was ALWAYS his intention, much to the confused headshaking of every other member of the cast and writing team.
Honestly, if you consider Deckard as a replicant for even a moment, the entire philosophical POINT of the film is ruined. We NEED Deckard to be human because his lack of emotion and "humanity" at the beginning of the film is exactly what he is taught to appreciate by the "andy" Roy who saves him in the end of the film. Essentially, Roy becomes "a real life boy" by choosing to save Deckard, truly becoming "more human than human" (it's not just a company slogan; IT'S THE POINT OF THE FILM). If we don't have that interesting component of empathy and grief and loss that Roy, an android struggles with and eventually achieves, and if we also don't have the re-awakening of Deckard's own humanity, his renewed appreciation for life and its impermanence, we don't have a fricking movie.
God I (sometimes) hate Ridley Scott.

Following the Mongol withdrawal from Russia, German knights of the Teutonic Order invade the Republic of Novgorod. Prince Alexander Nevsky (Nikolai Cherkasov, who looks like a man on Xannax) must rally his people to resist the formidable force after the Teutonic soldiers threatened the Russian city. Alexander stages his last stand at Peipus, where a major battle is fought on the ice of frozen Lake Chudskoe. While Alexander leads his outnumbered troops, two of their number, Vasili (Nikolai Okhlopkov) and Gavrilo (Andrei Abrikosov), begin a contest of bravery to win the hand of a local maiden.
The film is hugely influential and it's battle scenes have been the catalyst for movie-makers such as Stanley Kubrick (Paths of Glory, Spartacus), Mel Gibson (Braveheart) and Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings).
It was banned shortly after it's completion as the Molotov/Ribbentrop non-agression pact between the USSR and Third Reich came into effect, but was resurected as a wartime propaganda piece in 1941.

The story of a kiwi special forces commando team sent on a mission to a nazi occupied channel isle where there's some occult shenanigans going on.
It's an indy film with a small set and a small cast, but it those are really the only bad things I can say about the movie. The acting is surprisingly good and the atmosphere throughout the film is very tense.
Give this one a shot, it's a real hidden gem.

I've got Paul Sorvino on the mind (Watched Goodfellas last night. Pretty good) so I'm going to shill one of my all time favorite movies: Repo! The Genetic Opera. Think Saw meets Rocky Horror. Falls firmly into "so bad it's good" or maybe it's just camp and I'm neurodivergent.
It's hard to recommend because every aspect of it is bad. The effects, the writing, the singing, the audio mixing. Everything is awful. But once you get past the "holy shit this is r-slurred" it morphs into "holy shit this is awesome"
All star cast. All star musicians. Paris Hilton is in it. Paul Sorvino obviously. The girl frow Spy Kids. Seriously cannot recommend it enough.

I wanted this show to be good. I really wanted to like it. The first season was really good, the second season had the potential to be even better but they fricked it up. I'm mad. I'm just gonna rant.
The last season, specifically the last episode, fricking sucked. The whole show has led up to this and then Mando beats moff gideon like half way through the episode. It's just all that build up and then the problem just gets solved, and they just end up filling the rest of the episode with a sub plot of the dark troopers attacking Mando and the crew. But that gets conveniently solved when Luke Skywalker shows up out of nowhere and just takes Grogu after knowing Mando for less than five minutes. The whole show has built up the relationship between Mando and Grogu and then suddenly luke shows up and takes Grogu away to train him, Mando let's him, and that's just the end of it. What the frick?
And the whole midichlorian blood thing? Never really got explained why the empire wanted it or what their endgame was. The dark saber plot? Resolved in like two minutes. The fight between Gideon and Mando that we've been building up to? It lasts like a minute and ends with mando easily winning in the middle of the episode? The entire relationship between Grogu and Mando that's been developing? It gets resolved in five minutes and Luke just takes the kid after a cheap, predictable emotional moment that everyone knew was going to happen at some point, but it still didn't feel earned because there wasn't really that much buildup because the show spent half the season doing nothing.
The plot could be a lot bigger and it had potential, but it ended up getting packed into a few key episodes with useless filler episodes in between the "plot episodes". Most of the time the plot is barely getting developed, and Mando is just fricking around doing side quests that he has no reason to do or care about and the audience has no reason to care about either. Because the season spent most of it's time on random crap that doesn't matter, the actual plot didn't really get fleshed out.
Sure they're weren't really any plot holes. But the plot was the bare minimum to not be just a bunch of scattered plot points coming out of nowhere. It did the bare minimum to justify getting to the next plot point without it being completely illogical to get to that point.
Rather than a fleshed out plot, it felt like a series of bullet points with the big plot points with no buildup or substance between them, spaced out by cheap filler. Because the plot doesn't really get fleshed out and their isn't much actual plot progression between major plot points, the plot feels rushed. Because the plot is spaced out between filler episodes, it feels like it's barely moving and nothing's happening.
The plot of the show, at least this season, is simultaneously way too fast and boringly slow.
I was kind of disappointed. Was the episode that good? No, but was it ok? Yeah.
Could it have been WAY FRICKING BETTER? Yes.

5 years ago today, the emoji movie was released. I actually followed John's channel and saw that video the day it came out, which was fun. It went on for a long time, like 3 months before the actual movie was released. He actually grifted quite a bit of money too by selling merch for a movie that no one cared about.
There was also the IHE video which had high production value for a YouTube video. He recorded himself IRL up until the movie started, and cared enough to see the movie in the theater. Also, he actually predicted that there was going to be an emoji movie!
Cool.
Look at the trailer's amazing like/dislike ratio!

Heres some somewhat obscure movies that i like of various quality
Candy(2006) I like to watch this one and pretend its' the reason ledger died. it's a drug movie in the trainspotting, requeim, spun category that was popular around the time. It's pretty easy to see what the entire thing goes after like 10 minutes but it's kinda charming to watch these two fall into heroin addiction together. The director definitely went to art school of some kind and is very in love with weird shots that sometimes miss the mark.
Meet Me in St. Louis(1944) One of my favorite musicals. it might be more known than I realized since it was a clue on jeopardy, but I didn't know about it until sometime last year. Amazing sets, fun songs A FRICKING WILD halloween scene (Seriously, at least watch this scene on youtube). Judy Garland lives up to her star power, but a somewhat (ok a lot) incoherent plot leaves a lot to be desired but it's a musical so i mean whatever. Watch it with a girlfriend you'll get points i promise.
Stir of echoes 1999 so forgive me if i'm missing a big one but this movie has the same feel as sixth sense, the others etc that were popular around the time. It's a thriller with a little bit of horror elements. It has kevin bacon being pretty cool. I saw it in theatres when i was 11 and it scared the frick out of me. It's not scary anymore but it holds up imo. Not great. But if you want some background noise or you love KB check it out.
Raising arizona (1987) this one obvi isn't obscure being a coens brothers film but i find a lot of people in the wild haven't seen it. This is a GREAT film. One of my favorite comedies of all time. I remember my mother being excited to show it to me when I was young, like maybe 8 and it was great then and it's even better now. This is the Nicholas Cage role for me. Holly hunter and john goodman are fantastic. I'm not saying this is the best film of all time but only stupid people don't like it.
ok that's all just some movies i think about a lot.
