r/Sardonicast

This is one I have been debating with myself for a while.

I take more value in a single reviewer talks about plot holes or inconsistencies, but at the same time talks about interesting trivia, filmmaking techniques, authenticity etc. I take more value in that than that same reviewer just talking about their feelings and not saying anything of substance. I take umbrage if a reviewer dismisses something I like as 'boring' or that they 'didn't care' but don't say why.

But at the same time, I like seeing debate on platforms like Sardonicast. When Adum or Alex reach one conclusion and Jake reaches another and they both come at it from different angles, it is fun to watch, such as the Emilia Perez episode. That felt very professionally done, instead of one dismissing the film as boring and not progressing.

So, surely there's a way of doing both?

Like really good questions and discussions.

I mean, it's his choice. Lol. Bro can do what he wants. Personally I'm totally perfectly fine if he doesn't see it. He has nothing to gain, basically no context, could choose not to support of acknowlege to big mcu budget slop machine. One context I can possibly see is if has fun watching it without context of other films or spite mcu fans, but if fun is out of the question, then no point. I personally am not a masocist, I'm not for making people see movies they don't like for some reaction, bro seems eepy these days, so why stress him. If any Comic Book movie, probably can gain more from clayface, since that is more of a horror movie and more of his ball park that's unlikely to have any extended universe. Even if still a low rating, prob not much of a suffering unless I'm missing something.

There have been at least 2 Instances, where Adum mentioned Castration Movie, and The Love that Remains on the podcast, when they were talking about other movies. The way he came off about them, wasn't just a single comment 'Oh I liked X film I saw recently', but rather he keeps reiterating about them at any chance when discussion isn't about them.

I am going to be honest. I think its one of those things that genuinely annoys me not in a way that is him loving the film (which is fine), but the fact that this feels like it is both making it more tense and harming the discussion, in a ways where he comes off as rather disrespectful towards the hosts who recommended their films, that they wanted to watch. Its one thing to mention it once, but Adum has a habit of almost rubbing it in their noses, almost making the other hosts feel bad for not recommending the film. I wont even get to discussions where he was uninvested, and made several discussions stiff as a result, such as Rogue One. Its sincerely incredibly disrespectful to other people.

What really motivated this post, was a similar experience I had on his recent stream, where I misquoted the film The Love that Remains as 'The Time That Remains' saying I didn't love it, and he was quite rude to me because I made one mistake in the name, and even when I gave my explanation, and said that I felt like he was rude, he went 'you are taking this conversation way too seriously' and 'if you found my response rude you shouldnt be in the chat'. Excuse me??? Me explaining my POV, and feeling genuinely upset over his rude comments is 'taking this conversation way too seriously'.

This is coming from a person who is supposed to be open minded about other POVs? I am sorry, but its a recurring pattern, and his defense of 'I have autism' is not an excuse of not being respectful to other people.

Just on the topic of wether an actor with cerebral palsy could act in a film, I was reminded of this Finnish film called The Blind man who did not wan't to see Titanic, where the main character suffers from multiple sclerosis. The real life actor playing the character, Petri Poikolainen, actually suffers from multiple sclerosis.

The filming was quite difficult. Poikolainen said that he suffered a lot of physical pain due to filming so they had to shoot it very fast: only five shooting days and very short shooting time, about 6 hours.

Anyhow, bit of a rambling post, but I definitely recommend the film!

Ps. multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy are different diseases with some overlap in the symptoms I believe, but I am no expert. So if someone is educated on the issue, feel free to flame me.

I thought it was boring as shit, horribly paced. The script was barebones, the characters were all one note, the family drama was so stale and by the numbers that you could predict exactly how it's gonna end within the first 3 minutes of the film. Also, the action wasn't even interesting... The budget was around 80 million and it shows.

This movie blew my mind. Incredible film, masterpiece. Nothing quite like it. Somehow feels both WAY ahead of its time and simultaneously could not be made today with the same stunning art direction and huge practical sets.

A few months ago, I managed to pirate the full version and you could easily tell which sections were the controversial ones that were removed from the theatrical cut because the quality would drop to like 480p. So excited to see Warner Bros got their heads out of their asses and restored the original footage from the vault it was locked away in somewhere.

Also this new trailer is sick. Cannot wait for a 4K blu ray.

I'm sure one of the guys said on the Supergirl episode that it felt like watching AI. Well, here you go, LOL!
