Saw a movie in German class about a Downs syndrome guy anyone know it? Google is fucking shit.
>>217076951Germany and New Zealand are two countries that are slacking when it comes to animation. Every other country has their own list of series, movies, shows, meanwhile all Germany has is Der Maus. They're basically as advanced as the Philippines in terms of cartoons.

>>217074975>>217074999I'll probably wait. It's a good movie for sure but I don't need to suddenly alter my Friday night to watch it.Maybe now that I'm thinking about it I'll get into the mood in the near future
>>217072916TNG had good stories, Voyager has boring shit. I don't care its the same writers, that doesn't mean they were still writing good Star Trek.
>>217077217it wasn't even the same writers, just the same names in the credits
>>217077248Excuse me?
insider here. this is a garbage fire so far. we're lucky if we get six out of eight relatively big actors we wanted in the first place. the script being hyper-woke does not help either. for every white male doing his thing on the screen there are two strong independent latinas and a black hackeress who dont need no man. one huge guy agreed to everything and then had a look at half of the script for an afternoon then comically changed his mind on the spot invoking some vague health related reasons. it's bad, it's 'LA Takedown' levels of bad.we couldn't secure a proper SEA location in time so i guess we'll wing it here.i could write a whole (better) book about what went wrong so far. sorry for venting. go watch the original again and forget this.live long and prosper.
>>217076151See: Blackhat
I hope Adam box office poison Driver bailed but I doubt it. He has a talent for being in insufferable overrated films.
>>217076277It's that too, but the larger picture is that he's a hypocrite in a very human way. Every error he makes inches him closer to his downfall, the thirty seconds line was just foreshadowing. He didn't heed Nate's warning and skip the bank ("With this much heat you should pass"); he didn't walk out on Eadie; he didn't let Waingro go. It makes him a Greek tragedy-ish antihero. You root for him because he's good at what he does, but also because the movie does a great job showcasing his humanity. We see him growing insecure over his age, his future, and the realization that his dedication to his work has destroyed any chance at a normal life. His loneliness, self-righteousness, desire for revenge, and desperation to "get out" of the life all team up to get him killed. Unlike Hanna, he didn't stick to his word, and he died for it (albeit in a bullshit way, he 100% had the drop on Hanna).His survival hinged on committing zero errors, and he slipped up as an aging career criminal is bound to do. That's why the movie's ending was so good, and why it really didn't need anything besides a sequel instead of whatever the fuck Heat 2 was trying to do
>>217076935Nice analysis.
>>217075611>I can give the Hanna cokehead bit a passsure btw my problem with Hannah throwing a suspect off a roof in this book is he's supposed to be this straight edge guy who doesn't crack under pressure. if he's that much of a hothead then during the 'swat at night' scene in Heat he would just grab two grunts with AR15's go inside the building and smoke Chris and Neil because by then he figured out Neil's crew smoked those 3 guards. the dissonance happens when Hannah is slowly and meticulously trying to build this huge case and take them all down in the first movie, but in the prequel-sequel he's off his rocker left and right, i mean perhaps he got wiser by 1995 but thats just lazy writing. another nitpick tidbit of mine is when he allegedly figures out in the bookstore who Eadie was based on a suerveillance videotape from 3-4 weeks earlier when Neil bought the 'fractures in titanium' book. i mean how the fuck does a random ass bookstore in LA has 3 weeks worth of video tape surveillance in 1995 good enough for Hannah to spot Eadie based on his 4 seconds encounter with her in the first movie, even in the book before this he's like 'yea i remember ughh a woman, it was this woman waiting for him in a car'. bruh no fucking way he's not Robocop.

>>217076827>>217076704I basically hope the real Zosia forgives her when she becomes a person again, what's so bad about that? It's not black and white, the hive pursues Carol, it shapes itself to be irresistible to her, it removes her ability to have a relationship with an equal, it's one of the most asymmetrical relationships ever put on screen, Carol is also a victim/vulnerable. The hive doesn't have a choice but to love her and Carol doesn't have a choice to not love her fantastic ideal.
>>217077037>probably get turned into HDP> then they probably also get turned into HDPPlurbs don't kill the drones. HDP is only from corpses.
yawnget to work on season 2
>>217077135Carol absolutely has the choice not to let the plurb use Zosia to make her happy. With that being said, I think most any reasonable person would not mind being raped if the same person eventually saved you from life as a mindless drone and a slow death of starvation.

Who should have been Harry’s girlfriend?
>>217076811Ginny is the worst case, though. Supposedly hot piece of ass who is also poor as shit and who is obsessed with being in the limelight. Also, judging from how her mother acts, she'll be a complete shrew and scream if there's even a hint of someone disagreeing with her, someone behaving in a way she dislikes, or someone telling her no; also would be extremely motivated to take as much as possible from Harry's vault if they argue enough and get divorced. Harry could pick any random girl from any year and they'd be a better pick than Ginny.
>>217044433Based. I remember the girl on the right being on eastenders
You're all retardsHe only ended up with Ginny because Katie Leung was hotter than fucking Emma Watson at the time and JK freaked the fuck out since Hermione was her self insertShe literally tried to fucking veto the casting since Katie wasn't 'authentically Asian' enough (as in she was a UK girl and not a girl with a speakee engrish from China like she had hoped)It's why the holy of Book 6 has the whole 'lolz Cho is just being totes complex, Harry you need a girl that respects you, that one there, your friend's sister who's awhore and fucks negros, she's perfect

Ah yes, Vecna's magic rock. A good story for another time.
>>217072423Pretty dumb asspull plot turn considering Stranger Things started out leaning heavily on the concept of old conspiracy theories such as the government testing and training psychic abilities in children. That was like the main attraction in S1. Instead they turn here and say it was le magic rock that gave cooties to Henry which made him magic. It just shrinks the worldbuilding.

How is he not objectively a hack? Every single movie he’s done is just gotg and now he’s turning the entirety of DC into it.

Split across the end of 2024 and the start of 2025 I did a marathon of every DC movie all the way back to the Captain Marvel serials. I fucking hate Snyder, though I do find it funny that MoS was my 50th watch.McClure is the guy who played Jimmy Olsen in the Donnerverse.I normally never look at these because I thought they were a Patron exclusive thing, but every year I have on record is spoiled by conducting a marathon during it at some point.>2024: Groucho (Marx Bros filmography) & Spencer Gordon Bennet (DC Serials)>2023: Tobin Bell (Saw 1-7) & Wes Anderson (rated his 4 Henry Sugar shorts separately)>2022: Jacques Tati (criterion box set)>2021: Desmond Llewellyn & John Glen (Pre-Craig Bond Summer)>2020: Robert Englund (Freddy Vs Jason Franchises) & Gore Verbinski (Pirates trilogy)>2019: Stallone (Rocky 1-4 when I started the account in July of that year)
