So the movie starts off as a typical “karate kid / guy who gets taught martial arts” but halfway through they forget about all that and it turns into a typical Michael Jai White movie where he’s a nice guy who’s OP and gotten into some kinda trouble and needs to fight his way out of it…

It’s kind of a goofy movie like I feelz bad for the kid whose story just got dropped… his brother character was pretty cool tho he had a nice character arc… and there was this woman who hangs out at the gym and she just gets taken along for some reason… And Tom Berenger needed the money so he’s in it tho I’d guess all his scenes were shot in a single day. It’s got a couple funny moments tho like there’s one scene where a buncha guys with machetes are chasing Michael Jai White and he just runs up a mountain and they’re all puffing along but he’s in shape so when he gets to the top he just turns around and kicks their asses…

It’s only about one third of a martial art movie, really, the other third is gunfighting and the final third is explicitly like Rambo. But there’s a funny scene where Michael Jai White and this gangster type are driving along and start arguing about martial arts movies, so they know where they’re coming from… Anyway if you can see it for free it’s not bad. Oh yeah it’s also got this goofy stance which looks really cool but seems like you’re just asking for a takedown.

Churchillian Drift is the term, coined by British writer Nigel Rees, which describes the widespread misattribution of quotes by obscure figures to more famous figures, usually of their time period.[1] The term connotes the particular egregiousness of misattributions to British prime minister Winston Churchill.

Yeah tru iirc I tried controlling the Tildes communities I was subscribed to, but then there was basically no discussion… Lemmy is just big enough that you can subscribe to communities that don’t fit that demograpic and then browse by subscribed… e.g. many of the communities listed here: https://ponder.cat/post/1349429

OP you probably realize you haven’t literally seen/experienced everything in the world. I suspect you’ve switched from one stage in your life to another. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but you probably want to talk to a trusted friend / relative / counselor to make sure you’re not depressed or something. I gotta say tho that people who “go crazy” as teens and young adults and never stop are sometimes very off-kilter as older people.

My favorite part of the infamous 196 partition was when a mod threatened to ban @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com from the original 196 on blahaj which had been locked, then unlocked again after popular outcry and was mostly being ignored. I was like: if you don’t have Blaze to advertise your community, does it even really exist?

That’s too slow. Take us to defcon one.

Homey don’t play dank.

very long comments by not very interesting people

That’s kinda harsh… Some of the comments are pretty insightful, but since it’s not curated sure, some are gonna be average.

What kept me away from there is it’s just a bit too small… I think Lemmy hits that sweet spot size-wise.

I dunno… if the Democrats do something anything that’d be a welcome change…

I’m surprised they even linked to the webpage: https://www.luigimangioneinfo.com/

I’d heard about this movie before but kind of ignored it, dunno why…I’m interested in the time period and I’ve known some stage magicians so I should have been into it sooner. Once I watched like 10 minutes tho, even as background, I was really into it. The story’s a little bit predictable but still satisfying… it’s shot well too (cinematographer was nominated for an Oscar) and the soundtrack (by Philip Glass) is great… The movie reaches for a couple weighty themes and it ALMOST reaches them… or maybe it does, I dunno…

Anyway check it out, it’s only been up 3 days tho I think the folks who put it up actually have licensed it tho who knows how long they’ll keep it up anyways.

Indivisible has some good ideas:

• !badmovies@lemmy.world
• !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world
• !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee
• !martialartsmovies@lemm.ee
• !trailers@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !vampires@lemmy.zip - honorable mention bc about half of the posts here are about movies and the mod / main poster’s been keeping it “alive” (heh)

Even Newsweek has figured it out, too bad the D Party leadership is still puttering about.

• !wizards@lemmy.world - actually I knew about this one but somehow lost track / unsubscribed til a couple days ago

Yeah I never had to think about it too much. Good luck, tho!

Looks pretty good. The summary doesn’t say that it’s a martial arts movie, overtly Jackie Chan-inspired. Doubt it’s the best movie of the year, but I’m acheck it out.

This movie SLAYS. It was clearly going for a James Bond -type of action hero with enough homage and parody to gleefully sling you through the over-the-top sequences. Kate Beckinsale’s accent is terrible and Hugh Jackman doesn’t even try but that doesn’t matter because the action is killer and the production is top-tier.

Friar Carl! Verona, Marishka, and Aleera! Frickin IGOR! More monsters than a season of Scooby-Doo! Anyone who thinks this is a bad movie deserves a visit from the Knights of the Holy Order…

I havent really kept tabs on how the “everything” feed works. Does it show posts from small communities here and there?

If you want to see posts from small communities (balanced with the larger ones) then select “Scaled” instead of “Hot” or “Active”.

If you’re sick of politics and tech then subscribe to communities you like and sort by “Subscribed” instead of “Local” or “All”. Look here for relevant communities:

Yeah, my first thought was wireless hotspot from a cell phone. Tho I’m on a plan with very little data bc I’m mostly on wifi.
