Canada doesn’t have shitty radio cause of can-con. We have shitty radio because most major stations are owned by a couple big companies.
Independent stations like CKUA make great content.

Reply to Question about The Menu ending by RollingKatamari
I loved the movie. But what confused me about the ending was that he seemingly let Erin go free because she’d done nothing wrong and didn’t belong there.
But was totally fine killing that girl who went to Brown with no student debt and didn’t have a reason to be killed like everyone else seemed to.
Was it because she made him happy about cooking? So he’s totally okay killing innocent people just not ones that make him happy?

Tbh I was rooting for the human side, they showed so much innovation and persistence. Meanwhile Jake sully is a species traitor who would rather all of humanity perish for his blue ass, even though he himself is a fake.

Either way, you'll hit your Jonathan Majors quota.

I remember this movie coming out in theaters. Did Nukie have a theatrical release?
Also, did parents buy/rent their kids Mac and Me or Nukie thinking "it's the same thing as E.T. All movies have the same quality, right?"

>I think the thing that aged the worst is Sam's lack of change over the course of the film.
It's a small-scoped movie that doesn't have enough spare time to tell more than one character's story. It has something to say about a character. I don't think it should be criticized for not having more to say about more characters.
Could it have been a better movie if it expanded the budget and extended the running time beyond 102 minutes to include more character development? Possibly. But Braff probably didn't have an extra million dollars laying around to make it happen. And I don't think he should be criticized for that.

My favorite Cronenberg film is Cosmopolis and I'd still say no.

The audio in this film is spectacular

Call me crazy but I actually really disliked that death scene. Sure it was brutal and it’s not like I couldn’t handle it, but it just felt like it partially alienated the feel of the movie and felt kind of unnecessary.
Wasn’t enough to detract from my enjoyment of the movie though, it’s one of my favorite hidden gems in horror. Kurt Russell never disappoints, and Richard Jenkins showed some surprising depth.

Parenthood is the beautiful, wonderful answer to this question. It’s a fantastic show, there’s family drama, but in the end the Bravermans have each other’s back. Bring tissues.

Reply to Is infinity pool scary? by picklefire786
Its one of the very few films you'll see nowadays in theaters with great practical effects and interesting camera work. If youre not familiar with Brandon Cronenbergs work he typically has psychedelic sequences of lights shot through mirror boxes or projections through glass panes. These sequences are typically sandwiched in a film that delves deep in human psychology, ego/id, and technology/magic.
If I were to compare him to anyone it would be Fincher, Lynch, and of course his father.
Is it scary? Not really. Its more disturbing with graphic sequences intended for mature adults. The graphic imagery is not used as a grotesquery but serves the story and character develpment.

It’s not popular on any historical standard though. It’s just cheap.
And it is absolutely coming at the cost of actual local content

I watch the making-of documentary and they said it was an effort of a decade of work
That made me really sad. It's a really great movie, and we won't have another stop motion movie like this. Maybe ever.
Pinocchio is great. But like. 20% greater because of what it is? It's not groundbreaking. The golden age of these non-computer animations is over, and works like these are not what media corporations want when they can print a Frozen every 2 years.

Sure but I think he peaked back then, has had other things since that were as good but not BETTER.
OP hasn't watched a lot of it and I think they should.
