Finally watched Return of the King (at a reasonable time)

Finally watched Return of the King (at a reasonable time) - Lemmy.World

I’ve seen the trilogy at least 2 or 3 times, all back to back marathons (which is hard, but doable). But old mates INSISTED a 6pm to 5am run. All the times, I’ve been a zombie by the time we got to movie 3. Local cinema did a marathon. 10am to 11pm. I still needed to wash my face a few times near the end, but my god, I was invested. I knew the happy ending, but I was super invested in the climb between the Shelob bite and Mt Doom, that moment of silence before “For Frodo”. Was like I was reading the books for the first time again…

House of Dynamite (major ending spoilers)

House of Dynamite (major ending spoilers) - Lemmy.World

I watched House of Dynamite over the weekend, but found no reviews/discussion about the movie and it’s ending. So I’m opening the discussion here. The whole movie builds up to the bomb hitting the country, but didn’t show what happens next, or what was the next actions done by POTUS. I know that there is possibly no right answer to what happens next (I can’t think of another more satisfying way to end the movie) but it was still annoying. Building up all that tension to just cut to title. I still loved the movie. Saw about half trailer in front of One Battle After Another, saw Kathryn Bigelow name, and kinda zoned out, excited by another movie by her. Didn’t watch any more trailers before going in.

Oh yeah. Same with The Bachelor. Parents said how fake the show is. When GameChanger did it, it was so engaging.

Just started Game changer Battle Royal - Lemmy.World

First off, I didn’t think ‘wearing hats’ can be so intense. As a kid, I saw ads about Survivor on TV. Parents always made comments about how its fake TV slop. So as an adult* I never watched Survivor before, and skipped the survivor episodes on Game Changer. (Se4Ep9-10) These 4 episodes just said “Battle Royals”, so I gave them a chance. Wow, these are fun. *Is it still ‘an adult’ when I’m old enough to go to a bar/pub, but I’m drinking+eating alone, while watching DropOut at the bar?

reddit has seriously turned into facebook levels of bare minumum / advertiser friendly front page - Lemmy.World

i opened reddit again today because silksong is finally out. went to see how the subreddit is going. (sadly, the silksong communities here are rather sane. r/silksong is still about 40-50% insane, but more sane posts are coming in) front page is r/nextfuckinglevel. guy chopping wood uses a tire to keep the log upright to chop the wood easier. i remember making a reddit acount because r/fiftyfifty and r/watchpeopledie. now its just advertiser friendly r/mildlyinteresting at best making the front page.

Curious if anyone has tried to stitch all the episodes, (cutting out opening and closing credits) into one ~15 hour long video. Might be impractical to watch that way but still an interesting idea.
