I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but my shitty intuition is telling me this is a future cult classic.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Watched it yesterday and totally agree, Mark Ruffalos performance was a perfect out of touch elite.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How many Ordinary Sausages would you give that Mark Ruffalo performance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Enough so that when you see them you'd say "wow that's a lot of sausages"

Digitally also means Blu-ray. I've got my own theatre at home. And the picture and sound quality is much better too.

I don't pirate them in the way you think I do. I buy blu-rays and rip them for convenient digital access. I don't share the files with others.

I disagree with piracy in general. Piracy and streaming services are the reason why movies suck these days. Plus, it's impossible to find torrents in uncompressed blu-ray quality with the right language. Piracy sucks in every way possible when it comes to movies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

No it doesn't, physical and digital releases are almost always separate dates, often the digital release being much earlier than DVD/Bluray

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a pretty good film, worth a watch if it's the kind of thing you're into

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I definitely enjoyed watching it in theaters

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago

Nice try Robert Pattinson

Say goodbye to movie theaters

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I said goodbye to theaters years ago; the cost of attendance is unjustifiable anymore.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Thank god. Been unable to find it on the high seas for weeks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

try searching for a less-than-scrupulous streamer on yandex, it was literally the first result for me. seems to be a proper rip as well, quality is surprisingly nice!

Do you know what we would do to a king would he ever set foot on this here deck, mate?

Does the movie cover more than the first book?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Given that the movie has some references to rather specific news stories from the past year, yes, there are things not in the book in the movie, and those are some of the best parts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it doesn't go into the second book. It also deviates quite a bit at the end, imo for the better

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks, just finished the first book, wanted to make sure the movie would spoil the next one!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure the 3rd hobbit film had to make up most of it, if that counts?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

So, what's the movie about, anyway?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

Robert Pattinson dies a bunch of times. Also, Mark Ruffalo is Trump.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's the story of a loser nobody with no plans, no hope and no future finding meaning and happiness in his life. In a very roundabout and fucked up way. If you enjoy stories about hapless protagonists failing upwards then you'll enjoy this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Couldn’t help but think of paranoia the rpg when I saw the trailer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Will there be a Blu-ray UHD release?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can’t wait to legally acquire the physical UHD release! I definitely won’t be pulling the full blu-ray rip of it off Usenet or anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You won't find it. 99% of times it's re-encoded. The torrents often say it's the original but it's often not. Getting the original bluray is always better and easier too. You can always just rip it yourself using MakeMKV for your Plex or Jellyfin library.

Plus, when you spend some money on your entertainment you guarantee to get more movies you like in the future. Money is the best way to vote for better TV. If everyone who actually cares about good movies goes to not pay for it, then streaming will replace theatres alltogether and we'll only get trash movies locked to streaming services. The industry goes where most of the money is.

I haven't seen or read a single good thing about the movie, but everyone here seems really pumped

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

It is a great movie! Fun and chaotic and not a little bit subtle.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's ok.

I haven't read the book, but it has the feel of a movie that tried to include every subplot from the source material. A lot of cool things mentioned or hinted at but not satisfyingly explored.

I think it would have benefitted from a 3 hour run, or an aggressive edit down to a tight 90. At 2 hours and change it's simultaneously too long and too short.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Cool, now I can watch it.

Movie theaters are such a joke now. To see a movie with just one other person is easily $50+, possibly slightly higher. All that to possibly end up in a theater with someone loud af anyway and a theater staff that doesn't give the slightest fuck since they're also criminally underpaid.
