There’s one every year.

I know it's pointless to hold any weight on letterboxd ratings, but i Flat out refuse to believe the making of documentary for the final season of Breaking Bad is actually that monumental of a cinematic achievement.

‘WHALEFALL’ debuts with $8M domestically and $17.5M at the worldwide box office. It cost $60M to produce.

The way things work on the Left, Film Twitter especially, is that they patrol you on a daily basis. They look for your thought crimes, any word you might have said, so they can expand an accusation, point a finger, and accuse you of something. RACIST! HOMOPHOBE! TRANSPHOBE! BIGOT! Rinse, repeat. This is a form of power or control, but it is temporary because it is rooted in a delusion. They know it, too, but power feels good, even if it is 'big fish, small pond' power. That has done nothing but destroy them and led to a climate of fear and a culture of silence. Freedom of speech does not exist. You are to obey and comply or else. If you break a rule, out of utopia you must go. Even after Trump winning twice, even after a wrecked culture and collapsing film industry, they cling to this temporary power to destroy others with absolutely zero self-awareness of what they've become. Freedom of speech does not exist anymore on the woke left. And hasn't for a while, not that you need me to tell you that. You must obey and comply, or else. If you break one of their strident rules, out of utopia you must go. Even after Trump won twice, even after a wrecked culture and a collapsing film industry, they cling to this temporary power to destroy others with absolutely zero self-awareness of what they've become. But don't ever let these monsters define you or scare you. They are cowards who waste their days attacking other people rather than building or healing or helping us unite again as a country. They don't want to unite. They want gulags. Fuck that.

And folks, here's the problem with Letterboxd not separating movies from tv shows and documentaries.

I just want to say I am completely and totally shocked acquiring one of the most cherished IPs in all the English language, only to then hand it to longhouse hack so she could $250 million to purposefully desecrate it, didn't work out.

This is awful and I hate it. Namely because Gerwig took all the fear out of it. What does that mean? Originally, Uncle Andrew TRICKED the children into touching the rings. He was a coward who wouldn’t use the rings himself because he didn’t know exactly what would happen. So he sent a Guinea Pig and Polly through first. Diggory, DESPITE his fear chose to go and rescue Polly. The ENTIRE THEME of the book is being TERRIFIED but doing the thing anyway. • Terrified to use the rings • Terrified of new worlds • Terrified your mom is going to die and that Aslan won’t help you save her Gerwig has erased the heroism from The Magicians Nephew. Nobody is afraid Nobody is evil Nobody can be a hero

This one is actually an important detail and a bad one to botch. Jadis's sorcery doesn't work in the world of men because the Powers and Principalities have already been dethroned by Christ. The book says Atlantis/antediluvian world was full of people like her.
