Is that simply a reference to it going over budget? I never got that joke.

That’s not how IMDb rating works. It’s just an aggregate based on the number of users voting on it. It’s basically useless at distinguishing a stinker from a watchable weeknight movie from a masterpiece. Rotten Tomatoes attempts to address this imbalance with a weighted scheme, which usually works better for well-known movies.

Same, not for Taxi Driver, but for The Deer Hunter, Chinatown, Life is Beautiful, Amour…

Art is subjective (and most people are philistines)

Chinese characters. Presumably they’re not Chinese, Japanese or Korean.

You sound like you know what you’re talking about, and convey it with spectrum-like precision. I throw my hat and my heart entirely to making your dream come true. Hoo, hoo (hoo-oo-hoo)

*counsel you. I’m picturing a police officer comforting a suspect who’s sobbing with a hand on their shoulder haha.

You mean the proprietary ones that came with your iPhone? Well that covers every use case anyone could ever have.

Fucking Sony, they’re mad for proprietary shit in the name of protecting the company and completely fuck over the paying user in the process

I was wondering if it was a reference to something

Birth certificate says William. Card says moops

Less be da villan

wtf?

It’s a pretty terrible feature then. Feature is a weird word

Obviously there’s technique to it, it wouldn’t have survived as a competitive martial art otherwise. But the Japanese watch sumo for cultural reasons rather than because of their passion for the technique. It has a place in modern culture that links Japanese people to their deep-seated traditions. It’s like someone uninterested in sport knowing who’s playing on a given weekend, so they can comment on it as a neutral topic of discussion while getting their hair cut.

Doesn’t mean that it’s not a crock of shit. And I’m not saying boxing isn’t exactly the same either. Sumo is just more of a traditional practice akin to ritual than it is to actual sport or martial art. But I don’t know why I’m bothering to reply, since apparently none of this matters to you because your opening sentence demonstrates you don’t know how to structure an argument without alienating your interlocutor.

Sorry dude, I found being unnecessarily rude to a total stranger amusing, but I agree with your point.

Seems like Orwell was right

And the Egyptians, too!

Spot on insight :)

Totally. The right hand I use to write with is not my right hand, it’s my left (averechts, if you will)
