    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Not a big deal, but as the only sort-of Tamil person on the board (I think), I feel obligated to point out that the Tamil-language film industry based in Chennai (Kollywood) is distinct from Bollywood, which is based in Mumbai and produces Hindi-language films.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain


    The (New) World

    That looks GREAT. But what always halts me from pressing play on Bollywood stuff is rando dance scenes and they always seem to be 158+ minutes long.

    This critique fades with each 2 1/2 hour Marvel film that insists on tedious CGI fights.
    The Boat People - 9
    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
    The King of Pigs - 7

    Not really. Once you know what you're pressing play on, that's on you if you keep watching these things yet keep complaining. I've watched some Bollywood. That's why I dont keep expecting it to be different.

    I like the "realistic" touch of not having every group succeed.
    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
