andrew_s , in [META] So the "other community"'s admins are properly toxic?

Not sure why your post was removed when this post (to use a similar example) wasn't. Not providing a reason is, at the very least, self-defeating, because you then have to deal with the not-unreasonable follow-up question as to why.

From what I remember, I think this place ultimately exists because of the mod at the other place being a bit opaque.

And not just opaque, but also defensive and happily using moderation as a weapon in that. It's just a shitty approach to moderation IMO, especially for lemmy and it's vibe and size. It really has no place here, and I suspect mods like that have learnt to be like that from Reddit when this is a totally different place.

IIRC, Blaze (mod here) got banned under similar circumstances.

Hello,

That's indeed why I opened this community in the first place. For people interested, you can have a look at this post for the details (open the spoiler): https://lemmy.world/post/11446250

Ok, but nothing about this movie will ever be interesting, the simple fact that they've chosen Jared Letho as the main character, for him to even have any part of it has ruined any positive view I have of anyone else involved. It doesn't matter if he's perfect for the role, it's never acceptable to ignore all the bad shit someone has done.

Did he hurt someone? Or do you mean the 'bad shit' is starring as a mediocre Joker and then Morbius? I briefly browsed through his biography on wikipedia and it seems I missed something important if you are so against him. For me, it seems like he is framed to be a main star for B-rated movies these companies didn't care about anyway. I don't think he deserves any sort of a strong opinion or remembering his name if you aren't a 30s2M fan.

StarPupil ,

You should look up his cult! I'm being serious, the guy has a cult. Here are the first two articles I found about it. Add that to the fact that he's the worst part of basically every movie he's in and he did shit like mail used condoms to his costars on Suicide Squad in the name of "method acting" and I feel like the general disgust with him being the main character in any movie, particularly one someone would otherwise be interested in is warranted.

Hands down, he's a last person I though of starting a cult, but here we are. I take my words back.

letsgo , in Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny?

Not quite the same but having listened to the 1712 Overture several times before hearing the 1812, I didn't get some of the jokes until I actually heard the 1812, and THAT's when I laughed.

But on-topic me and the wife have been watching an animation film where the cinema was mostly kids and we got, and laughed out loud at, some of the "jokes for the grown-ups" that none of the kids did, who were all staring at us for laughing at something that was totally not funny for them.

so directors are kinda sadists?

Yup

I saw revenge of the sith in the theater multiple times and there was no laughing at the no. I never noticed it being laughed at until the “do not want” translation gaffe.

I saw I am legend I cinemas with my brother I would have been 16 him 11.

When Will Smith killed his dog my brother started balling his eyes out and I started laughing at him uncontrollably. I'm sure from an outside perspective I looked like a psycho

anonymouse , in Reminder for the Star Wars Fans: There is a theatrical re-run of The Phantom Menace on May 4th.

Why would Star Wars fans want to rewatch The Phantom Menace?

nac82 OP ,

I know it's the meme that everybody hates episode 1, but I've lived my whole life loving this movie. It was the first Star Wars film I saw in theaters, and the hype from Darth Maul igniting that second blade has lived with me forever.

Podracing, the birth of the Seperatist movement, our first time seeing Coruscant on screen, the introduction of the Jedi Council...

There are so many incredible moments in this film that people have taken for granted because they focus almost entirely on the handful of throwaway comedy lines from JarJar.

meathorse , in Which song is forever linked to a movie for you now?

Short Circuit 2 - Holding on for a hero.

Much more impactful than how it was used in Shrek 2.

Real stakes, life and death. Spoiler warning - clip spoils the climax of the movie...

Freebird will always bring back the Kingsman church scene.

Tuesday's Gone will always remind me of Happy Gilmore.

alquicksilver , in What’s one miscast role that irks you in an otherwise perfect film?
@alquicksilver@lemmy.world avatar

It's not perfect, but the biggest reason I refuse to watch the Les Mis movie again is because Russel Crowe cannot sing for shit; having him play Javert, a leading and powerful singing role, ruined what was otherwise a decent movie adaptation of a stage musical. It even had some really amazing casting choices, but that one absolutely ruined it for me.

Iamsqueegee , in What’s one miscast role that irks you in an otherwise perfect film?

Dustin Hoffman in Perfume. Just, no.

li10 , in What’s one miscast role that irks you in an otherwise perfect film?

Walken in Dune.

Was just jarring imo. He has the right look, but he did his usual thing and I couldn’t help but see him rather than the character.

HeartyOfGlass , in Most obscure movies you've ever seen?

Thanks to Lemmy, I recently watched umami's "Interface". Beautifully animated surreal adventure. Really enjoyed the weirdness, myself.
