Oh my gosh! It’s Kwipke! I had been wondering what happened to him since BBT.
Calling the woman Mrs. Palpatine, instead of Mrs. Pallatine was a huge goof…but funny.

Her (2014)

Creepy guy can’t keep a relationship even with an AI, who ends up cheating on him with thousands of other men. I hope society never gets to this point. I know it’s supposed to be a romance movie, but it’s just creepy and IMO a warning to society. Nothing beats getting to know real people.

The Flash (2023)
Luvlinguae 2 points 17 days ago.

I thought this was great, honestly. I came for The Flash but got so much more. The humor and storyline were on point. It was actually one of the best DCU films to come out. Considering how many bad ones there have been, that’s a positive in my book.

The Beekeeper (2024)

Statham saved this hot garbage from being a mere 1/5. I don’t know where they find these D-list actors and script writers, but this was just terrible. Is Statham hurting that bad for money?

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Luvlinguae 2 points 2 months ago.

Thorette and the screaming goat-boat. It wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. Maybe going in with low expectations made it half-way decent.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Luvlinguae -1 points 2 months ago.

Awkwafina totally stole the show here. You can barely call this part of the MCU, but this film stands on its own. It is one of my favorites and in no small part to her. In my opinion, she is an underrated actress, but I hope to see her in more in the future.

Black Widow (2021)
Luvlinguae -1 points 2 months ago.

It’s an action packed girl power extravaganza. Boys not welcome.

Reacher (2022) S2 E8
Luvlinguae 2 points 3 months ago.

He should have got himself a nice motorcycle.

Leave the World Behind (2023)
Luvlinguae 3 points 3 months ago.

3/5 stars (I’m being generous). I found it emotionally overwrought and perhaps believable or shocking for GenZ kids who have never known a world without technology. The film was like OMG I can’t access my iPad videos! The internet isn’t working! I’m so bored and life is meaningless now! Oh, the horror! This film had potential to do something meaningful and perhaps teach a lesson about the importance of life, family, loved-ones, without non-stop tech, but it completely failed.

La Brea (2021)
Luvlinguae 1 points 3 months ago.

Barely watchable. Terrible acting. It’s like a low-budget version of LOST.

The Watchful Eye (2023)
Luvlinguae 2 points 4 months ago.

It looks like this series has been cancelled too. That’s too bad. I really liked it.

Sherlock (2010) S2 E2
Luvlinguae 2 points 6 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Major plot hole in this episode:
They never clearly explained if it was an aerosolized gas that was causing hallucinations or not. If it was, how it was delivered? How did it get in the lab? How did it get into the home of the young man? They only vaguely and quickly surmised that it was released via pressure plates at the hollow, but nothing more.

how much minutes of this show are NOT KI?or is it rather seconds?
the nun wearing an old russian cold-coat?

Luvlinguae 2 points 7 months ago.

What’s KI?

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (2023) S1 E3
Luvlinguae 2 points 7 months ago.

The zombie orchestra was hilarious! That’s some great humor! Not enough of that in these walking dead shows.

Invasion (2021)
Luvlinguae 3 points 7 months ago.

I want to like this show, but the acting is so amateurish, unnecessarily emotional, and wooden. The plot has potential but the terrible acting is ruining any chance the show had to go anywhere.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (2023) S1 E1
Luvlinguae 2 points 7 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

So far, so good. Seems to be TWD with more depth. Still not clear what the “burning dead”/acid touch thing is about. Would like to get some clarity on how that is possible or why.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
Luvlinguae 2 points 8 months ago.

Looks like this was canceled. Darn, I really liked it.

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) S4 E13
prism 2 points 9 months ago.

didn’t you suggest water cannon a few days ago before you edited your comment? anywho… I would imagine they won’t do powder or smoke for the sake of the livestock there and other wild animals. get either of them in your lungs and you’re buggered. I DO like the water cannon idea though! :D

Luvlinguae 3 points 9 months ago.

The water cannon idea wasn’t mine, but I’d go with that too. Another idea would be dried ice, which doesn’t pollute. Like they use in fog machines.

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020) S4 E13
Luvlinguae 3 points 9 months ago*.

I really don’t understand why they continually avoid doing the most obvious test: dropping powder from above over the triangle, or burning a big smokey fire from below and seeing what the powder and/or smoke do.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) S2 E6
Luvlinguae 1 points 9 months ago.

I was kind of hoping they would incorporate JTK’s quirky and fun pauses in speech, like we know from the TOS. But perhaps that was more Shatner’s shtick vs. being a real character trait written into the story. Maybe someone knows for sure.

Warrior (2019)
Alien 1 points 9 months ago*.

Maybe they were looking for a “type” and he filled the bill. But, I get what you’re saying. I’ve thought about it many times for many roles. What I find impressive, though, is the fact that Koji has performed on the stages of many of London’s theaters.

Luvlinguae 2 points 9 months ago.

That’s impressive for sure. Again, I am just picky about authenticity. Making the characters more believable.

Stargate Atlantis (2004) S3 E4
Luvlinguae 2 points 9 months ago.

Why did they not just crawl through the holes in the cage? A small bear could have fit through those gaps.

Warrior (2019)
Luvlinguae 2 points 9 months ago.

Can someone explain to me why they chose to use a Japanese actor for the role of a Chinese immigrant? Certainly there are excellent Chinese actors skilled in kungfu that could do this role. I’m not trying to make any racial issue out of it, but I cannot be the only one who can tell the difference between Asian people. To make a film or show more believable and get the audience more emotionally invested in the story, I think it is important to make the characters believable. I have the same issues with all the fake Germans, Russians, etc. that Hollywood uses instead of hiring native speakers. But that is another story.

12 Monkeys (2015)
Luvlinguae 1 points 9 months ago.

I stumbled across this show, and have been binge-watching it ever since. Still only halfway through, but the actress who plays Jennifer (Emily Hampshire) absolutely steals the show. She really has great acting chops.

Padre Pio (2023)
Luvlinguae 1 points 10 months ago.

I really wanted to like this movie, but it was just BORING. The life and personality of Padre Pio is poorly explained or developed and the film seemed more focused on some half-baked back story about Communism. The best part of the film was the scenery.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) S2 E3
Luvlinguae 1 points 10 months ago.

JTK is the lady’s man. Past, present, and future.

Stargate Atlantis (2004) S2 E14
greyfur 3 points 11 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Not saying you’re wrong, he did great in this one, but have watched every single Stargate episode there is, of every incarnation since it started, and even though at first the guy (McKay) did grate on my nerves a bit, he actually did grow on me, and then after a while, once I started to get to know him, as the person he was (as he was portrayed in the show, and why he was the way he was, and that actually sorta came out eventually if you pay attention), he really did grow on me.

Bottom line for me was, despite everything, over time, he really did become a real part of the team, and actually did feel for the other members, and really did show true loyalty for the other members. Took him a bit to get there, but he DID get there. Was still a bit of a ‘Richard’, but he was a ‘team’ Richard!🤣

Luvlinguae 1 points 10 months ago.

OK, good to know. I haven’t gotten any farther than this point, so that gives me good vibes to keep going with the series. Someone told me that Stargate Universe is not good at all, but I’ve never looked. What’s your opinion on that?

Stargate Atlantis (2004) S2 E14
Luvlinguae 3 points 11 months ago.

This was honestly some great acting on the part of McKay (David Hewlett). Best I’ve seen him do in the series so far. And I really don’t like his character (who does, really?). However, I almost felt sorry for him now.

Blacklight (2022)
Luvlinguae 2 points 2 years ago.

If you’ve seen any of Liam’s other various tough guy movies, Then you’ve seen this one too. Not really worth 2 hours of your time. 2.5/5

The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
Luvlinguae 2 points 2 years ago.

The chess scene is priceless classy cinema. No one does seduction like Faye Dunaway. It even turned Steve McQueen into a little schoolboy.

Fringe (2008) S2 E16
Luvlinguae 5 points 2 years ago.

I loved the. 80s 8-bit intro with the “woo-woo” technology listed, which is so normal for us now.

The Hunt for Gollum (2009)
Luvlinguae 3 points 2 years ago.

Very high quality production, considering it’s a fan-film. Had me engrossed the whole time.

Born of Hope (2009)
Luvlinguae 2 points 2 years ago.

Considering this was a low budget fan-film, it was surprisingly good and filled in some blanks that were left out of the LoTR films.

Does anyone know the song at the closing credits?

The Philadelphia Experiment (2012)
Luvlinguae 3 points 2 years ago.

The actual name of this movie is “The Philadelphia Experiment Reactivated” and is a sequel to the 1984 film with Michael Pare´.

The Final Countdown (1980)
Luvlinguae 7 points 2 years ago.

What a great film. Great plot, great acting. Can’t believe I’d never heard of this one before. Highly recommend.

Outlander (2008)
Luvlinguae 2 points 2 years ago.

What a great movie and a great surprise find. I wish they’d made a TV series out of it afterwards.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
Luvlinguae 2 points 2 years ago.

This is one of my favorite films. Perfect for families.

CSI: Vegas (2021)
Luvlinguae 1 points 2 years ago*.

While I’m thrilled to see this series take off again, I am a little disappointed in the new characters. Most of them just have kind of boring personalities and have conversation that is not engaging. If you watch the original series, the characters were funny, zippy, edgy, and the whole atmosphere was more energetic. This is a bit of a slog to watch.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Luvlinguae 3 points 2 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Nearly perfect. The humor could have been better, but the little girl did steal the show. I think it would have been better with older actors, instead of such young kids, but maybe they’ll come back stronger in a sequel (hint hint)? Reminded me more of a cross between Goonies and GB. All in all, it was great. 4.5/5.

The Martian Chronicles (1980)
Luvlinguae 1 points 2 years ago*.

As much as I absolutely LOVE this miniseries, it has aged too much, being imbued too deeply by the interesting yet ephemeral disco era. I am still waiting, decades now, for a proper re-make to be done, hopefully in a way that will be more timeless.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Luvlinguae 17 points 2 years ago.

Meh, the who thing just seemed forced, low/energy, almost depressing. 2.5/5 for me.

Krampus (2015)
Luvlinguae 2 points 2 years ago.

This one isn’t for kids but it has become one of my holiday favorites.

Finch (2021)
Adeday 2 points 2 years ago.

Watched the trailer & the robot sound like Stephen hawking.

Maybe he uploaded his mind to Skynet and it really is him talking.

Die Hard 2 (1990)
Luvlinguae -1 points 2 years ago.

Why are the pay phones Pacific Bell at Dulles Airport? I love catching little goofs like that.

Debris (2021)
Luvlinguae 4 points 2 years ago*.

A lot of people are comparing this to Fringe, and I have to agree. Except while Fringe has comedic relief with Walter, this show has none, and tends to focus more on the gentler emotional aspects of humanity and interpersonal relations. Personally, Iike the “no-name” actors in this, because it makes it more realistic for me. Of course, the show was cancelled, as the best ones usually are. What a shame. I guess Big Brother Season 437 is more important to viewers.

Limitless (2015)
Luvlinguae 6 points 2 years ago.

So sad that this show was canceled. It is so well written, funny, quirky, and fun. I’ve added it to my favourites list. Why do they keep cancelling shows of such high caliber, like this?

No Time to Die (2021)
Luvlinguae 12 points 2 years ago*.

The should rename the film “No Time to Retire”.

MacGyver (2016)
Luvlinguae 0 points 2 years ago.

I wanted to like this show, but it is a far cry from the original, which was witty, clever, and light-hearted. This one is pretentious and takes itself way too seriously. Dialogue is cliche and dull, as well. I’ll go re-watched the 80s series instead.
