Reply to comment by jorge-ben-jor in Best monitor for watching movies? by in_trippy_entropy
There are a good few options these days too for an OLED 43” “monitor”, LG, ASUS, and Gigabyte are making them. OLED is an absolute game changer for display technology, I cant understand why it’s not seen in the mainstream as absolutely revolutionary yet.

Dolph Lundgren has a master's degree in chemical engineering, and was gonna further pursue that at MIT. Him having an IQ of 160 is very much believable.

Having a high IQ doesn't automatically translate to being a genius. It just means you're capable of it if you put it to use.
FWIW though, Dolph Lundgren does hold a master's degree in chemical engineering, which he got from the University of Sydney. He had also received an MIT scholarship shortly after, and then left it all behind to pursue (at the suggestion of his then girlfriend Grace Jones) an acting career. He's definitely not as much of a meathead as his appearance would lead one to believe.

I believe Kris Kristofferson. He had lead a million different lives.

1: IQ tests are basically bullshit
2: Anyone that talks about or “publishes” their score is a douche.

I think it really showcased the stupidity of their own little “Irish civil war”….much like the stupidity that was the actual civil war which was raging on the Irish mainland

Dunno about the rest, but Dolph Lundgren has a masters in chemical engineering so yeah, I assume he's pretty intelligent.

Reply to comment by All_cheeki_n0_breeki in Antonio Banderas: How Puss in Boots Redefined a Hero by fpschubert
I disagree. Puss needed to prove his worth to Death himself and the best way to pass that idea to the audience was to have Puss win a battle against Death himself. If he lost to him and died and Kitty wished him back it would feel cheap story wise.

God is mentioned a couple of times. Also a figure in the light, the 4 Horseman, etc have God implied so much that you can’t actually discount His presence

The twist was that there was no twist. The whole movie is all just taken at face value

Leonard said he believes they were chosen because their love is so pure and if you see who amongst them dies its the person who despite seeing the flaws of humanity did all he could to maintain his pureness and belief in people.
Feels like its sort of a cycle where this occasionally happens as a test of humanity and this time it just so happened to be a gay couple.
Leonard even said he didn't know they were a same sex couple when they were compelled to the cabin and everyone else in his group was quick to condemn their actions as targeted bigotry.

It’s about loneliness, and the drastic measures people can take when they are lonely.

Without the finger cutting there is no movie, so you're friends the dumb one, and you can pass that along to them.
But seriously, the fingers are not only the stakes and conflict of the film, but touch at the deeper question; is it worth it to strive for immortality or to enjoy the time you have? And as Gleeson's character grapples with this question we have to wonder if the threat isnt actually a means of self-sabatage. Because without his fingers he cannot play the fiddle, therefore giving him an excuse of 'why he never did write that epic folk song' to his future self. Its easier to blame podrick for his failure than himself and likely why he set up the trap in the first place.

I liked it. The fingers bit was drastic but gave a heaviness to the absurdity of the small island characters.

It's a story about stubbornness and how badly that affects people, at least to me. People do much worse in the real world. To me it was an understated example of the lengths people will go to when they feel "righteous" about anything.

Reply to Any moments where movies kill off extras just so that the main characters can have the spotlight? by Extolord111
Probably every movie with a battle scene where the two sides get involved in hand to hand combat. Doesn't it usually boil down to both the protagonist and antagonist for some reason being the best fighter in each army, slicing their way through hordes of nameless extras until they meet somewhere in the middle of the field for solo combat? Also once engaged in a fight with each other the extras seemigly become content to ignore them and let them have their solo duel.

If you want a good experience, don’t use a monitor, use a proper TV. Great TVs are usually cheaper than great monitors. I use the LG C2 OLED.

Not sure about his IQ but David Duchovny graduated from Princeton and masters from Yale.
