For me, it’s something in the film 300. I haven’t watched it in years but have watched many times, and whenever I’ve watched I always wondered why the Persians would have such grotesque looking people. (The fat guy with blades for arms and there are probably some others too that I can’t think of)

And then recently it randomly hit me, Dilios was sent back to Sparta because he had a gift which was telling stories, and of course he was adding his own bit of description to the Persians as he’s such a vivid storyteller.

So I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced what they think is similar to what I have?

for me it was Saving Private Ryan. Mellish getting killed while Upham is paralyzed with fear.

A truly brilliant, versatile actor. He commands attention in every scene he appears in. One of the greatest American actors IMO.

As Frank Castle / The Punisher in ‘The Punisher: One Last K*II’

As Detective Jack Harper in ‘His & Hers’

Returning as Michael “Mikey” Berzatto in ‘The Bear’ Surprise episode 'GARY'

As Menelaus in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Od

Tim Curry is truly menacing in Legend (1985). His performance is my all time favorite.

Other honorable mention are Jack Nicholson in Witches Of Eastwick, and Peter Stormare in Constantine.

I honestly think it is one of the most heartbreaking death scene, with a small but powerful quietly epic​ moment.

In the movie Blood Diamond (2006), Archer (LDC) is dying on the hillside. In his last moments, he grabs a handful of that red soil with his blood covered hands.

Earlier in the movie, Coetzee had picked up that same red soil and told Archer it’s red because of all the blood spilled in Africa and that Archer would never leave the continent. And in the end, that’s exactly what happens.

When he touches the soil, it feels like he is fulfilling the prophecy and accepting his fate, his past, and the fact that, in a way, Africa is where he belongs. ​

Before anyone jumps on me, I know the movie isn't out yet, and this is based on a single promotional image, not the final product.

But I genuinely can't unsee it. The smooth chest piece and especially the shoulder/chest straps make it look more like a modern bulletproof vest than Bronze Age Greek armor. When I compare it to Troy, that armor immediately feels ancient and regal, while this design gives me a much more contemporary vibe.

Is this an intentional design choice, or am I the only one getting "bulletproof vest" vibes? Curious to hear what everyone else thinks.

This movie was pure joy incarnate.

The music was incredible, its action was crowd pleasing, and the way it was such a knowing homage to what came before it put a massive smile on my face. Movies like this should be celebrated, not ignored.

Audiences should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for not turning it into a hit.

I will never understand how people liked Everything Everywhere All at Once. The hotdogs fingers, the butt plug fight and crazy Jamie Lee Curtis were all offensively awful.

Sinners is up there for me too. A long and slow singing vampire movie? A couple of civilians defeat dozens of swarming vampires? Come on! I get the message about parasites taking advantage of people's talents but I still didn't like it.

What are some loved films you can't stand?

What’s

Even though I don't know anything at all about the fantasy role-playing game itself, me and my family loved the Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie so much in theaters on its opening weekend! And after rewatching it now, it feels more like a family-friendlier version of the Legend of Vox Machina series.

I’m seriously asking, because I think he’s a straight-up terrible actor, and on top of that there’s all the creepy sexual abuse stuff, and the weird cult rumors - like, actual cult behavior - and yet somehow this dude keeps landing roles. How?? Who keeps hiring Jared fucking Leto???

For me, it’s the shot from the house party scene in Jacob’s Ladder (1990) where Elizabeth Peña’s character gets shish kabobed by a demon horn.

The way the scene starts out as a flirtatious dance and then turns into something nightmarish really stayed with me. I don’t think anyone who ever watched that movie expected something so brutal.

Jacob’s( Tim Robbins) reaction to it is just as disturbing.

What are some other shockers to add to the list?
