And human rights don’t exist
Great and accurate review. I’d just like to add that the movie is set in modern londen, with obvious implications.
Totally agree. It can’t get out of its own way and the dialogue made my skin crawl. I peaced out at the part where it seemed as if we’d finally leave Blunt behind and have a kino driving scene and she pops back into frame like a bad rash with more pointless blathering.
Pretty solid movie mired by Plaza’s reddit schtick but saved by Hugh
I decided to play Terminator 3: Dark Fate. Of course, I chose the maximum difficulty – Realism. The tutorial missions went relatively well, though I had to sweat a bit to ensure at least some of my squad survived and progressed to the next missions. The game works like this: you start with certain squads, and some of them carry over to the next mission. They gain experience and unlock new skills. In different missions, you can recruit new squads. There are also city outposts where you can purchase personnel and equipment. You can also loot vehicles during missions: cars, Humvees, and even tanks.
However, there’s a catch: the larger your squad, the more resources it consumes, and resources are limited. This presents a dilemma: what to sell and what to keep and develop. Resources are always scarce, so you need to invest in the most effective units and upgrade them. Vehicles and tanks can also be upgraded with armor, weapons, and engine modifications.
The game feels like a Mad Max-style survival experience, with a convoy of vehicles racing through the desert: small maneuverable cars, APCs, makeshift artillery on trailers, and trucks carrying supplies and fuel. There can also be separate transport trucks. The entire team is self-sufficient; if you run out of fuel and a tank stops, it’s essentially lost and won’t make it to the next mission.
There’s a wide variety of units: assault troops, snipers, special forces, etc. You need to assemble your team to have several self-sufficient groups that can hold various points on the map, as missions often require controlling multiple locations.
When I started the main missions after the tutorial, I really struggled. Maps that were supposed to take an hour ended up taking 10 hours to complete. Even then, victory wasn’t guaranteed. I reached the cartel city, where enemy Humvees with artillery prevented me from approaching. I managed to defeat them with tremendous effort, but then decided to go back two missions to acquire my own artillery. I replayed those missions, bought artillery, and dismantled the Humvees.
Eventually, I completed the game. Even towards the end, I was still learning new things. Such hardcore games are interesting because you can’t beat them on the first try. I think this game is underappreciated by the gaming community due to its specific gameplay – strategy games aren’t very popular nowadays because they require thinking, which many modern gamers find unappealing. Nevertheless, the game turned out to be very successful and provides a unique gaming experience not found in other titles.

Word is that an official update for DOOM has just been released. You can fight online like 30 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4-xswoPRpo
In the 1973 theatrical production (https://zeitgeistreviews.com/movies/selo-stepanchikovo-i-yego-obitateli), the director gave free rein to his imagination: Foma appears as a sage, sternly denouncing egoism and ignorance, and even the invited nephew Seryozha succumbs to his charms.
Yup, decided to return for awhile, because winterblues makes me watch films…. Yeah, I like that there are younger people, but naturally us boomers don’t care much for anything made after 2005 or so 😉 but seriously, films and series, kinda develop a whole new meaning when you enter your midlife, you either want quality or genuine novelty. Not that I mind, when I was much younger I used to hang out with older folks giving me music recommendations, this was well over 20 years ago. Learned a lot, I was still listening to Iron Maiden when I entered this old geezer forum full of people who liked progrock, indierock and what now gets called postpunk, in one year that expanded my musical knowledge. It was great, I still have all this knowledge on obscure bands that I use to troll younger people and boomers alike….
So yeah, youngersters are definitively going to go through this site, watch some old flick and go hmmm this isn’t bad, then they are going to forget they watched it, only to return to it when they are older. Such is life. I personally use this site primarily to find a film with a White cast, I actually found a lot of great films using this site alone, so naturally I will be returning in the future, just for that and hopefully for the bantz.
Oh, but I guess that tired cliché of grief in a horror film was still there. Definite minus points but still recommend it.
A F**KING LEAF
long, detailed review, and managed to do so without spoiling much.

I wanna write a review on this but it has no IMDb page to import from. Anyways, for a hitpiece they did a horrible job. Made Spain look awesome and this is how I imagine you and Beertje Blauw:

Welcome back! Literally shouted “Beertje Blauw!” when I saw ur review. Thought you were gone for good. Same with Mondo Mirth. (Miss that lil nigga…) But I don’t want any pressure to stick around or write weekly reviews because it’s not like you’re paid staff or anything. Which is why I don’t want to check in or comment like a guilt tripping lonely mother. But I appreciate all you guys, especially the O.G. ones that have been around since the beginning.
Idk if you saw, but I tried hiring someone to manage social media and post relevant memes. Well, you get what you pay for (and I can’t afford professionals quite yet) so I left for 2 months without checking up on her. Turns out she was posting gore and normie memes and unrelated cat videos. Guess my instructions weren’t clear. Needless to say, I immediately discontinued that and deleted all her social media posts. ?♂️ Likewise with a guy trying to help with SEO. All that came from that was now each site tab now says “Is X woke?” which I’m not sure even helps us rank higher.
All that is to say that I’ve given up on trying to grow it as a top priority. At least for the time being, and instead view ZR as an artist collective type project. A webzine or journal so that even if you leave and never write another review, at least there will be a collection of reviews and musings for ppl to look at. Same for if we never get hockey stick social network type growth. The work put into it thus far still has value.
So, I’ll focus on improving features and UI gradually until I can secure some more money to do it quicker. In the meantime, your feedback is always welcome and we’ll prioritize it. But feel free to come and go as you please.
( Also, in regards to the younger folks: I’m trying to get a banner ad on AmRen or other sites so we get a more diverse ecosystem. More classic movies and articulate old guy reviews to balance out the sh*t posting and anime obsession. I went to the 2024 AmRen convention and got a few older fellas to contribute reviews too. You just might not know which of us are geezers. ? )

Yeah, I watched it the other day and decided to share my impressions. It’s scary that people have forgotten how to think and form their thoughts and perceive any consistent text as the generation of a neural network.

You mean the reset password email doesn’t send or you never set up a recovery email? You’ve been an O.G. user for a while so maybe you had a profile without it. We tried to make it as easy as possible to post reviews without confirmation links sent or any of that, since fighting network effects is hard enough. But situations like this may be rough. Lemme think… In the meantime, sorry! Maybe make an alt account? I’ll check back soon after looking into it.
