Freiren beyond journey's end has come to an end. Shoutout to one of the best anime adaptations that I've ever seen, as well as one of the most earnest stories ever told. I will be keenly waiting for the announcement of the second season soonest.

Really can't wait for season 2. This was an absolutely beautiful experience. All 28 episodes.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy - 10/10
I decided to watch the movies for nostalgia's sake. When I downloaded every one of them in 1080p and realised each of them is almost 4 hours long each, I couldn't believe I went through these movies when I was a child and didn't feel anything.
Watching it now, I can say Lord of the Rings is the reason we have Marvel movies, insane plot armors and movies in epic scales right now. Guys!! this 4 hour movies were shot together and released 3 years back to back!
The quality of storytelling and visual effects is awesome but the main reason these movies are the most epic movies of all times is the worldbuilding, score and makeup. How did this guys create those Orcs so realistically! Watching them didn't even feel like 4 hours and I can imagine how awesome it would be watching this masterpiece in theatres.
This is the kind of movie that prompts centuries of discuss and fan arts
Everyone should rewatch this movies once again and give their thoughts

It's obvious Peter Jackson was put on this earth to do justice to one of the greatest fantasy tales ever written.
Nothing man did before or has done after has even so much as come close to the shadow of what he did with the LotR adaptation

Was the theme song really stuck in y'all's heads for decades?

Also why does Storm come off as cringe here?

And last but not the least, why didn't y'all let us know Cyclops was as cool as Antarctica?

abduleez1:
Dey play.... I know my QUEEN.

Might have to go with Alicunt for the culture. Our battle(s) will be legendary.

MAD MAX reboot....

Reboot? Or prequel spin-off?

Illusioneffect:
Baustista has range bro, it's not much but still can be considered a good actor, Knock at the Cabin showed that, you should also watch Spectre

Before we even get into different genres, he doesn't even play the same characters or act the same way in comedies. He's not just another version of Drax in every comedy role. Even his comedy acting alone has range.

I'm telling you guys, this bait is not believable.

JackBizzle:
I swear, this thread gives me so much laughs.

Between Joseph's simping and abduleez's shalaye nonsense, I can't stop getting entertained.

Imagine putting "Dave Bautista" and "range" in the same sentence. Nonsense of the highest order. How many serious roles has the guy performed in that you say that he has range?


I can never take this thread seriously again. Imagine talking rubbish about John Cena aka Peacemaker. lol. That character alone deserves numerous acting awards.

Jerome, wtf are you up to? 😂😂

🎂🎂

They both have mainstay Fairy Tail roles which means we'll be seeing or hearing them in 100 Years Quest

Well I look forward to it, though Jackie Chan's version is awesome, I love it, especially the Street Fighter scene. Made me realize how much I hated Van Damme's full length movie of the same name, Street Fighter.

Jackie Chan's version falls in the section of "great movie, bad adaptation". It's a really entertaining ride if you aren't a fan of the source material it's adapting. Of course, I watched Jackie's movie way before I ever found out it was an adaptation of a manga and then when I watched the anime, I realized how the movie was really different from the source.
Still never stopped it from being one of my favorite all time Jackie Chan movies.

Van Damme's Street Fighter is another bad adaptation that has found much love as its own thing, especially with Raul Julia's rendition of Bison.

Chibudollar:
i am not even baiting anyone with my post, I personally like John Cena more than the other two, maybe it is just my bias speaking

Cena is not the problem. It's rating freaking The Rock over Bautista that's just straight up wild

This look like it'll be a decent adaptation of the source material. At least, much better than whatever the hell Jackie Chan and co did in the 90s

Chibudollar:
When it comes to acting. JOHN CENA > THE ROCK >> DAVE BAUTISTA .. Any other arrangement is wrong!

Bait used to be believable 😩

She's looking good

WIT Studio really cooking with this

Elemental is also the better movie for me in that category. I haven't watched Nimona or The Boy and The Heron so I can't speak for those. Tho I feel, The Boy and The Heron will be an easy pick for me judging from my exposure to Hayao Miyazaki.

My man, when you have time, we go dissect this Elemental agenda you're pushing.

Too bad Barbie won something. Nonetheless, I'm glad Ken stole the show, I guess patriarchy wins after all

Lol! See elite hating

mrMeen:
all episodes were incredible from the very beginning, maybe the slow pace is not for you, but there were nothing short of masterpieces.

My only grip are the episodes where the goatee priest joins them, they felt too slow for my liking

Hmmm! I actually liked Sein and I'd like to see him back in the future, hopefully not as an old man though, considering how Frîerén takes her sweet time revisiting old friends/acquaintances

Nakama power's back on the menu.

Fairy Tail: 1000 Years Quest starts airing this July.

Too bad everyone was so het up over John Cena they missed this gem

Still mad that the best song from Barbie wasn't the one that won Best Original Song. Truly, just as he said, "Anywhere else it'd be a 10"

zoroby:
What's the name of the anime?

The Dangers in my Heart

I actually haven't. Did Aka go full Andy and LeyLey on us?

Not yet but he's getting dangerously close

This aside tho, you seen the Oshi no Ko drama all over social media?

Never said it's a job I love but I'll be damned if I don't get that Employee of the Month achievement

"Poor Things" (2023).

Bella Baxter: "Why do people not just do this all the time?! (Referring to sex btw, or as she succinctly calls it, "Furious Jumping" 😊)."

Yorgos Lanthimos has always been known to make these weird genre bending flicks that looks subtle on the surface but carries a punchy message if you bothered to look deeply and with Poor Things, he has come full circle.

Obnoxious comedy?, Gothic comedy?, Sci fi romance? It didn't really fit into any genre box as it encompasses them all.
With every scene, looking like an art piece frame with delightful color grading straight out of the book of Wes Anderson , the masterful use of fish eye lenses catapults us into the psychedelic world of Victorian London, where a Bella Baxter, a fully grown woman goes on a journey of "self discovery" including (NSFW) how the hands can bring immense pleasure to how a tool possessed by men can bring even more pleasure than the hands 😉.

Oddly enough, it has a "tobacco depiction" warning at the very beginning but i am afraid that would be the least of your worries seeing this. It starts off innocently, but as you peel away, it becomes more graphic without any hint of plausible morality to fully drive home the narrative of the flick.

Mark Ruffalo as "Duncan Wedderburn" was a peerless performance, He gave us a hint as a recovering s3x addict in "Thanks for Sharing (2012), but it takes it up a notch here, trust me, you'd want to see, a raunchy and Hot Mark! and that oscar nom was deserving.

Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, Good Lord!, it was a bold, audacious, "full frontal" and funny mix of supreme acting!. Sandra Hüller and Lilly Gladstone delivered all timers in their respective roles but any other actress doing what Emma Stone did here, would have surely ended thier careers but she came out flawless and that Oscar nod is all too deserving imo, in hindsight.

unbelievably funny, pleasantly bizzare, witty thoughtful and a totally gorgeous watch.

8/10.

Saw a clip of the "Excuse me, I must now go punch that baby." scene and it just had to go on my list.
I think the clip was barely 3 minutes long and yet it gave me a compelling argument on why Stone's Oscar win was definitely well deserved.
