Avengers: Infinity War (2018 1080p)
Was posted 21 hours ago and might be taken down soon. Looks like it's whole, but the music from the credits plays through the "extra scene" at the end.
NOTE: has both English and Hindi audio tracks, it guessed English for me, but you can manually change it by clicking on the "gear" icon.

Jimmy: "Mane n' Tail." Is this horse shampoo?
Chazz: Yes, it is.
Jimmy: Do you use this stuff on your hair?
Chazz: Uh-huh.
Jimmy: "For a lustrous coat." Does this actually work?
Chazz: You bet your ass it does. It makes my hair shine like Orion's belt...

"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad, Why we fought or why we died. No, all that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request - Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then the Hell with you!"
I'm pretty sure it's the last line that won Crom over.
Thanks for the info, it looks like a bug/feature in Boost when dealing with movie files from archive.org, a situation that probably doesn't happen that often. On the bright side, the movie stopped playing when I scrolled past it, so it isn't too bad. It looks like video ads work the same way, so it would only be particularly noticeable when ads aren't showing in Boost. It was an interesting experience, seeing all my favorite communities in another interface, I'll have to check out a couple others!
The crazy thing is, the person who made that decision isn't there for you to be mad at them. It's a perfect example of turning us against one another.
Important to talk to people we know, and make sure they actually vote.
“Don't use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do.” - Mark Twain (attributed?)
Let's be real... he's exhibiting this in an art museum in NYC. And he's still working as a TV and film composer.
Also the whole idea of taking one of the finest, rarest specimens of something the universe produces naturally and making it ugly for the sake of these billionaires seems incredibly dumb.
You suggest the real reason for doing it. So a billionaire can own it and say "see, I'm not one of the bad billionaires, because I'm in on the joke."
Hey, I'm just a lurker on this discussion, but I'm going to assume you're asking an honest question here and not sealioning. If you really want to take action, I'd recommend looking at changing policy at the local level. I believe California has recently passed a couple laws that do things like disallow mandatory gratuities for large groups, and increase minimum wage for service workers. So if you want action items:
- easy: look up the specifics of those California laws, and look up similar laws across the country, and see if any of them could fly in your municipality or state. next time the politicians come calling, say: "what are you doing to implement [policy]?"
- medium: if you don't think any existing policies would solve the problem, then try to think of what policy would.
- hard: instead of tipping, save up that cash, keep track of it. figure out what organizations in your region could help implement those policies, contact them directly, and tell those organizations that you've saved up money that you're willing to donate to help implement better policies.
The way they sneaked up on us was: during the pandemic, I started tipping a dollar or two for take-out because "we're all in this together" and "these are extraordinary times." Then those Clover bastards came through and turned that dollar or two into a baseline 15%.
Kinda sneaky of the youtube channel people to put an AI render of franchise Predators on the thumbnails when they have nothing to do with the movie.
I didn't watch this movie but here's a great review that breaks down exactly how things go wrong with it: https://www.avclub.com/meet-the-dawnseeker-the-dumbest-alien-you-ll-meet-in-2-1829019300
There's an interesting comment in the discussion there:
Man, I recognize that molasses-slow editing. I once made a few zero-budget horror shorts that were actually screened in front of audiences and, let me tell ya, the pacing that feels right when you’ve been cutting and editing for days or weeks is excruciatingly slow when viewed with an audience. Every fucking time I thought I’d made a tight ten or fifteen minute movie, when really they were all four minute movies with a shit-load of filler and shots that go on way . . . too . . . long. It’s not just me, it seems to happen with every amateur-made anything. Those fan-made Star Trek TOS episodes spring to mind. They could get everything else right, props, costumes, effects, writing, even get Walter Koenig to guest-star, but they’re still nearly unwatchable due to that dog-slow editing.
It's a great reminder that filmmaking is hard work that depends on many, many people doing their job right.
Hey, do you mind saying what client you're using to read this? I mostly use a web browser and that didn't happen for me, so I'm interested in trying out another client to see what things look like.

Conan the Barbarian (1982 1080p) - Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones
This movie needs no introduction, so I'm just going to put this here:
> Conan the Barbarian is a 1982 American epic sword and sorcery film directed by John Milius and written by Milius and Oliver Stone. Based on Robert E. Howard's Conan, the film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Earl Jones, and tells the story of a barbarian warrior named Conan (Schwarzenegger) who seeks vengeance for the death of his parents at the hands of Thulsa Doom (Jones), the leader of a snake cult.

El Almuerzo Desnudo (1991 720p Español) - Cronenberg, William S. Burroughs
I'm trying to improve my Spanish, and came across the Spanish version of Naked Lunch, which is a Cronenberg film about/adapting the book by William S Burroughs. The movie's pretty good, and the soundtrack's excellent. Couldn't find an English version, disculpe!
> Naked Lunch es una película canadiense de misterio-fantástica y drama de 1991 escrita y dirigida por David Cronenberg y basada en la novela homónima de William S. Burroughs. Está protagonizada por Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, Julian Sands y Roy Scheider y ha sido galardonada con varios premios cinematográficos canadienses e internacionales.

A Few Good Men (1992 1080p) - Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore
Hey, community guidelines say we can post dailymotion videos here! Good thing too, because this is a good one.
Even if you don't like lawyers, even if you don't like the military, even if you don't like Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore, this movie is still worth watching. That's because the dialogue is solid. Probably because it started out as a play, and therefore doesn't rely on stunts or action or even great cinematography. If you've already seen it, watch it again, and try to see if you can find even one line of dialogue that you could remove, that would make things better. It's tough. Because every line belongs there. That's the truth... even if "you can't handle" it!
> The plot follows the court-martial of two U.S. Marines charged with the murder of a fellow Marine and the tribulations of their lawyers as they prepare a case.

> Nine Inch Nails had the largest crowd density at the event, overshadowing many of the other performers. Just before going on stage, they wrestled each other in the mud and went on to perform completely wet and covered in mud.[18] In the post-performance interview, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor claimed he thought his band's performance was "terrible" due to technical difficulties on stage.[19] Reznor admitted that while he disliked playing at such a large show, it was done for the money: "To be quite frank, it's basically to offset the cost of the tour we're doing right now."[20] Their performance of "Happiness in Slavery" at the festival won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1996.[21]

They've been described as "goth clowns", which is doubtlessly just as offensive to goths as it is to clowns. But I'm pretty sure that's the point. Think of them as shitposters; they're the best shitposters in the business.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972 360p, German dub with English subtitles)
This movie explains the human condition with all the candor of a much-upvoted shitpost, and all the beauty of a classical painting. The final scene perfectly depicts our contemporary global situation.
> [An] epic historical drama film produced, written and directed by Werner Herzog. Klaus Kinski stars in the title role of Spanish soldier Lope de Aguirre, who leads a group of conquistadores down the Amazon River in South America in search of the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. ... Aguirre opened to widespread critical acclaim, and quickly developed a large international cult film following. It was given an extensive arthouse theatrical release in the United States in 1977, and remains one of the director's best-known films. Several critics have declared the film a masterpiece, and it has appeared on Time magazine's list of "All Time 100 Best Films".

FUN FACT: the movie was originally shot with the actors speaking in English, since it was the only language that everyone in the cast knew. But the funds to do the original post-sync were stolen, and they ended up dubbing it again in German.

> The film's reputation through the years has continued to grow. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 50 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 9/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "A haunting journey of natural wonder and tangible danger, Aguirre transcends epic genre trappings and becomes mythological by its own right."[28]
> J. Hoberman has written that Aguirre "is not just a great movie but an essential one ... Herzog's third feature ... is both a landmark film and a magnificent social metaphor".[29] Danny Peary wrote, "To see Aguirre for the first time is to discover a genuine masterpiece. It is overwhelming, spellbinding; at first dreamlike, and then hallucinatory."

Bloodsport 2 (1996, 360p)
Not quite as charming as the first one, but not really terrible either.
Van Damme isn't in this one, but "Ray Jackson" is back, and many of the other actors are somewhat recognizeable from other films. (i.e. the main guy was in a John Wick and a Matrix; the wise sage character does the voice of the noodle selling bird in Kung Fu Panda, etc.) and they are joined by Pat "Mr Miyagi" Morita. Also once they get to the kumite, there are a bunch of different martial artists like kung fu and muay thai fighters, a judoka, a capoeira guy, etc. There's a framing story which is right on the line between cringe and camp, and indeed the seriousness with which you take this movie is inversely proportional to how enjoyable you'll find it. Meaning: turn your brain off and it's pretty fun.

Heat (1995 480p) - Pacino, DeNiro
"Allow nothing to be in your life that you cannot walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner." Sounds easy, slick!
One of the best cops-and-robbers films of all time. The bank heist scene is the stuff of legends.
Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro in their prime. Ensemble cast includes Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd, Jon Voight, Natalie Portman, Danny Trejo, and a bunch of others. With cameos by Tone Loc and Henry Rollins!

Surviving: A Family in Crisis (1985 480p) [Content Warning]
You will feel bad while and after watching this movie. idk wtf people were thinking about, putting this on broadcast TV. But to understand why, you need to first read the:
content warning
suicide
and then the
spoiler
The movie is about a young couple who are in love and who are forbidden from being together. Typical beginning. But halfway through this movie, the young couple commits suicide. Not only does the movie show the suicide, but it show them being found, it shows the bodies being dragged out in the open, and it shows the family screaming and crying over them. In fact, the last half of the movie is about the family's guilt, sorrow, anger, numbness, and blame.
so apart from that, it's a TV movie with that level of quality. However, it has Molly Ringwald, Paul Sorvino, and a very young River Phoenix.
