It's almost as if this is what the internet was meant for. The animation quality is phenomenal for one person.

Solo animators really do have access to the big boy cowtools these days.

"Die Hard on a battleship." This one is not a classic but light years ahead of the quippy CGI heavy shit we get these days.

Some negatives:

• Dumbest villain ever. The wicked CIA employs an unstable psychopath to do highly risky missions where they don't want to get caught. This is just too dumb to work even in an action. And washed up hippies are just not that intimidating.

• Pretty dumb premise. The terrorists attack, of all things, a battleship with 1800 sailors onboard, and hope nothing unexpected will happen. Again, this just makes the villain seem r-slurred.

• The chick has one of those terrible ultra short haircuts that were a plague in the early 1990s.

• I'm pretty sure that you'd have some difficulty making a phone call while shooting automatic weapons inside the corridor of a battleship.

But it has its moments:

• Steven Seagal actually doesn't suck. He's either not fat or they carefully shot around it. He looks like he knows how to use a knife. And dare I say, he can even do the bare minimum of acting necessary.

• The hero's backstory is actually really clever to make him who he is and put him in the right place at the right time.

• The setting is great for action. The exterior of a warship, especially a really big one, is a bizarre place because it's got multiple levels overlooking each other at steep angles. There's all kinds of ladders and stairs and hatches to get around. This movie takes advantage of that.

• The technology is actually represented pretty accurately, both the old WW2 era stuff and the 1980s Reaganavy refit stuff.

• It's the only fricking movie I've ever seen that acknowledges you can just blow up a nuclear weapon and it won't somehow cause a nuclear explosion. Virtually every movie involving nuclear weapons relies on the audience being dumb enough to think nukes are like gasoline. It takes a Steven Seagal movie to finally not insult my intelligence.

I visited USS Missouri on its farewell cruise that year and it was pretty awesome. But don't take my word for it.

Visit your local Iowa-class battleship museums at Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Honolulu, and Norfolk.

So if you don't know what Plex is it's a combination of a desktop server program plus apps on various platforms that lets you download movies and then stream them directly to your tv or phone or other device via a really nice interface that automatically finds thumbnails and summary information for all the movies and shows you've downloaded.

And so torrents are now basically liberated from my laptop (or the heck of plugging my laptop into my tv with an hdmi cable, lol) and free to reign on my tv and so I'm coming to you, people of rdrama, to suggest movies I should download for my Plex library.

This is what Plex looks like on desktop, these are all movies I've torrented

These are the movies I've already downloaded so suggest me anything that isn't already on here.

This show is wildly imperfect, and has way too many wh*te women

But no one else is making a big budget Yakuza crime show set and filmed in actual Tokyo

Plus Sato is the ultimate bro

So happy he didn't die

‘THE BOY AND THE HERON’ wins Best Motion Picture: Animated at the #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/LLbEy5zn0v

— Film Updates (@FilmUpdates) January 8, 2024

For those who don't know The Boy and The Heron is the latest Miyazaki film that was released to critical acclaim but tepid audience reaction because it was too "weird". People here are probably aware of the Spiderverse animated flicks but not how massively overrated they're amongst online "cinephiles". Not only does this film have a rabid capeshit fanbase but it has also managed to rope in the wokes and the film twitter/letterboxd crowd (seriously it was the highest ranked film of all time on letterboxd).

Because Miyazaki's film had a lukewarm audience reception it was a genuine surprise it won over Across the Spiderverse. Suffice to say, these nerds are not taking it well . Some of the reactions.

What do you mean Across the Spiderverse didn't win best animated movie at the Golden Globes

__

WDYM ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE LOST ????!!?!? they so wrong for that omg

__

genuinely cannot believe across the spiderverse lost

__

Across the Spiderverse was snubbed, wtf is the boy & the heron.

__

you're telling me Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse won…. nothing?

__

yall so fricking weird yall know its because spiderverse was mostly black and poc driven neighbors got a right to be upset LOL

__

Across the Spiderverse robbed

__

This winning over spiderman is insane

Of course, we also have weebs acting smug over this .

“spider-verse was robbed”

__

Preschool twitter fighting for their life of Across the Spider-Verse not winning

__

them miguel fics and the yt cop girl with the bang doesn't mean it deserved an award cope and seeth

__

Wait Spiderverse didn't win anything at the rigged Globes?

It was basically the equivalent of jangling keys for babies. Except for a certain demo instead

Now, this doesn't guarantee that The Boy and The Heron will win at the Oscars and apparently it only won at the Golden Globes because it has a more "International" voting body now. Spiderverse is still the frontrunner for the Oscars. Still, the meltdown would be 100x this if Spiderverse were to lose at the Oscars. Hope they act based for once and piss all over capeshit this year but I'm not holding my breath over it .

Created to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (MMPR), I went in expecting this 1-hour special to be trash, but it was honestly pretty good.

This picks up decades after the end of the original MMPR, and the evil Rita Repulsa has returned to take a deadly vengeance on the Rangers.

The film is more serious than the original series, as Rita is far more dangerous than before, presenting a legitimate mortal threat. However, the movie thankfully doesn't go full 'dark and gritty' like the 2017 garbage movie flop.

As the film introduced the teenage daughter of the former Yellow Ranger (who's actress died 23 years ago), I expected Mary-sue, girlboss, woke garbage. However, thankfully that was never the case.

There is plenty of nostalgia fan-service. Not only to the original MMPR, but also to other Power Rangers series, and even the original Japanese show upon which MMPR was based.

The acting isn't great, as you'd expect. And the action is pretty low-key, probably due to the limited budget. Nonetheless, it was a solid tribute and well worth the watch, especially if you loved the original series as a kid or teen.

Before Stonewall there was a riot in San Francisco.

I tried posting this in /h/transgender but I've been exiled for reasons unknown to me lol.

Anyway this looks like shit but it was in my YouTube feed so as always... enjoy.

Unlike what history books tell us, Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in his bunker, but he instead fled to West Africa in his submarine. Teaming up with his new right-hand man, the infamous Japanese military leader Hideki Tojo and the brutal Horse-Man Göring, he plans on conquering the world once again - starting in Ghana.

Julia Garner is set to headline Blumhouse and Universal's Wolf Man from Invisible Man filmmaker Leigh Whannell.

Wolf Man will reunite Garner with Christopher Abbott, who was previously announced as starring in the movie, with whom she starred alongside in Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene; Garner's first professional acting role.

The movie is set to be released via Universal on Friday, October 25, 2024.

Wolf Man, scripted by Whannell & Corbett Tuck and Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo (Dumb Money), stars Garner as a mother whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

Garner is a 3x Primetime Emmy Award winner and Golden Globe Winner for her turn as “Ruth Langmore” in the award-winning series Ozark. She's also a multiple nominee for her character portrayal of the real life con artist “Anna Delvey” in Shonda Rhimes Inventing Anna. Garner is an IFP Spirit Award nominee for her leading role in Kitty Green's The Assistant. The actress impressed audiences again when she reteamed with Green in her latest feature, The Royal Hotel for which Garner also produced through her production banner Alma Margo. Next up, Garner will be seen as the female lead in the psychological thriller Apartment 7A for Paramount and producer John Krasinski.

Garner is repped by UTA, LBI Entertainment, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.

In addition to Invisible Man, Whannell also directed Insidious 3 and Upgrade.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this movie. Invisible Man was pretty good and if they go for practical effects, like Blumhouse likes to do, it could be something special. Thoughts? I was just glad to hear more news about this movie.

This will help trump win!
