@LN78 Ah that one. Seemingly every comment I tag Ness in gets removed along with other people who question his beliefs and opinions so I apologize I couldn't narrow it down to one straight away.
For the record pointing out the irony of the Streisand effect to him isn't an unprovoked assault. I personally didn't insult him or anything, I've pointed out contradictions in his argument. Hardly name calling.
Lol nor do I, that's why I don't do it. Questioning or taking issue with someone's argument is not bullying.

Haha not enough time in the world to watch Maulers vids. I don't necessarily disagree with him but his vids are longer than the films/TV shows he's talking about.

@LN78 Haha it isn't just my comments which get removed. I'd show you a few comments from people all over this site and you could see clear as day why they weren't bullying but they'd just get modded.... again.

@LN78 I've seen bits of his vids and he's good, they're re just too long for me to sit down and watch. I honestly don't have the time is all, wasn't a criticism of him.

@LN78 But I don't understand why you took such issue with the fact that I liked the DCEU or that I enjoyed Die Another Day. All I was curious on was why you didn't like the DCEU, I wasn't having a go at your character or anything, I wanted to understand your opinion and maybe have a debate, I thought that was the reason for the thread.

While I wasn't a fan of every design choice it went with, this is still one of the most visually striking films I've ever seen. Also certainly never boring to watch, with a blatant edginess that is oftentimes unintentionally hilarious with how hard it goes. It'd most definitely be considered "problematic" in this day & age, but it's so over the top with it that it's fun.
Consisting of 4 (or really, 3) different independent storylines that occasionally cross paths, it has a structure that still feels pretty unique as well, though it has a full on credits roll after each one which kinda messes with the pacing (at least the extended version does this, it's been awhile since I've seen the theatrical cut).
InuYasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time (Blu-Ray)
Pretty much just a longer, generally better animated, episode of the TV series. Now, that's not inherently a bad thing, but there's really no reason to watch it (& probably the other movies) if you aren't already a fan of the show.
I do wish I could have given it a higher score though. Not that a 3/5 is bad or anything, but InuYasha was THE anime for me in middle/high school (and I'm currently going through the show again & still love & connect with it), & while I liked the movie, I wasn't in love with it. Maybe it's because I used to watch all the movies annually & there's a bit of burnout, maybe I just wasn't in the right mood, who knows.
FYI, I mention a score because I just copied over my Letterboxed review, & the only (modern) trailer I could find is for the 4 in 1 Blu-Ray release, so I'll probably re-embed it for every single one of these when I get around to the others, lol.

@LN78 I always get that mixed up with Noah starring Russell Crowe from the same year. If I remember correctly they both flopped spectacularly at the box office.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@LN78@JohnnyShoulder I remember watching Noah and finding it pretty awful. Never even knew much about Exodus but even though that impressive sounding cast piques the curiosity, looks like I should steer clear!

@LN78 I forgot to say the other day, the most memorable part in Top Gun Maverick was seeing Val Kilmer in that kind of state. For some reason, that got me right in the feels.

@LN78 Yeah I only buy films on 4k Blu Ray which I have fond memories of or don't have already. Some like Universal Soldier I wasn't a massive fan of back in the day, but ended enjoying it more so when I watched it when I got the 4K disc.
I've only got Man of Steel which was free with my ps4, so this is a potential purchase for me at some point.
