The 500-hour idea is definitely being thrown around quite a bit, but I am actually wondering how long it takes to get to credits if you are not doing every single puzzle.

I wish I could remember how long The Witness took my wife and me. We played it upon release and solved all puzzles except for doing the timed stage at the end. I would have guessed 50-ish hours for that? I could be wrong.

Anyway, has anyone made it to the end and if so, how long was this game when not being a 100% completionist?

Ghost in the Cell

Highly recommended.

One of the best movies I’ve seen from 2026 so far. Almost certainly, this will be in my top 10 at the end of the year. Joko Anwar again proves that he is one of the best film-makers working today. He wrote, directed, and edited this film and it is just terrific.

Gist: In a prison, people keep getting murdered and displayed in horrific ways. Prisoners figure out that the “ghost” or whatever is killing the person with the darkest, most negative aura. They proceed to dance, pray, and do anything that will improve their aura and keep them safe.

About half-way through, I realized this is a Sam Raimi style Horror-Comedy. Just terrific stuff. I found it both horrific at times, but then found myself laughing out loud a lot.

Check it out. Oh, it’s in Indonesian, as the majority of Joko Anwar movies are. I think he should have done this one in English; it would have had a pretty good reception around the world. I don’t mind subtitles, but I want more people to see this one.

Check it out! I give it an 8 or 9 out of 10.

Saw X was terrific, one of the best in the series. Yes, it's getting much harder to show us Jigsaw in new movies since he died in Saw 3, but they are doing pretty good.

I thought Saw X made enough money to warrant continuing. I have no idea story-wise how we can have Jigsaw again, but I would have been interested in what they could come up with for another Saw entry.

It was announced.....then quietly disappeared.

Does anyone know if there is any real chance we'll get another? Tobin Bell is now 83, by the way. I'm guessing we have to move towards another Jigsaw actor(preferably a new character).

1. I sent a pre-action letter certified mail. They received, but did nothing.

2. I sent a final warning letter. Received, did nothing.

3. I am ready to go to small claims court, but that is typically(in Michigan) for cases of $7000 or less.

How do I proceed when they ask about financial losses?

I have also submitted to Attorney General of Michigan.

I'm going with 2001: A Space Odyssey....but I actually think that Dr. Strangelove, also from Kubrick, is a solid pick as well. Kubrick delivered two classics in just a few years.

I don't like Lawrence of Arabia as much as most people, but I won't be surprised if people pick it. It certainly has some of the absolute best cinematography of any film.

Singin' In the Rain is certainly near the top if not at the top.

Paths of Glory as well.

12 Angry Men is so great; I prefer the film version over the TV original.

I dislike The Searchers, though. Shocking, right?

I went in expecting an OK film. It frickin’ won me over. It’s a comedy! It’s a comedy! It’s comedy!

I said that three times because while the trailers showed some jokes, it did not make it clear that this is purely comedic. I laughed a lot more than I expected to. It’s jarring how funny it is and how aware everyone in the movie is about how silly this all is.

Loved it. It’s not easy to win me over, but by the last 45 minutes, I was smiling and cheering(internally).

Great, fun, highly recommended summer movie.

Two notes:

1. It’s 140 minutes. Just realize it’s longer than most summer movies.

2. Jared Leto plays Skeletor. I had no idea. I don’t know why they keep giving him work when he has a bad reputation, but they do. He’s great in the movie, really great. But I know some people are boycotting him, more or less.

For me, it's Citizen Kane and not even close.

I had never seen Exorcist III. Great movie.

The nurse was bothered by a noise. She goes into a room and it's ice cracking in a glass. Whew.

But then she is killed by the shears we saw are super difficult to open. Was the noise also the cranking/ratcheting the shears open?

I guess I'll start. My list goes like this.

1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - a perfect script, edit, score, story, and acting.

2. Minority Report - I always thought this would top any list, but I appear to be in the minority(giggle) that I think this is an amazing film.

3. Jurassic Park - It hold up completely. Saw it in the theater at age 15 and still am happy to see it looks and sounds great.

4. Saving Private Ryan - Stunning. The opening alone would earn it a slot.

5. Raiders of the Lost Ark - I bet this is a lot of redditors' number one. It's terrific.

Note: I saw Schindler's List one time. It probably deserves a slot, but my memory of it isn't good enough and it was just so intense and sad, I've never seen it again.

So is Tubi airing all matches of the world cup free of charge? Or is it only a few select ones?

*sMothered is how it is stylized.

1. It's from Joko Anwar, but not directed by. He wrote and, get this, edited it. He's a star of Indonesian movie making.

2. Go in blind. I know that is always the case, but in this one, it is really necessary. The plot is very interesting and I think the final 20-25 minutes had me put everything down and just watch.

3. Great movie, one of the best of the year. I would rank Obsession a bit higher, but this one is in the top films of the year so far.

Streams on Shudder.
