Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

For me, the most unsettling part was how one of the most important scenes in the movie happens off camera.
I was like "Wait... Did I MISS that?" Nope. It just happens off camera.
No spoilers.
That's close to how it happens in the book. I believe there's a single paragraph revealing that >!Moss was killed.!< Then the story moves along.
Fyi your way of doing spoilers isn't showing up for me, here's how they work on my client:
spoiler
This is a spoiler
Reddit-style angle-bracket-exclamation-point spoiler tags do not work on desktop Lemmy or, to my knowledge, any mobile app besides Sync. Lemmy spoiler tags work a little differently:
Text next to the arrow
Text inside the spoiler
which can be multiple lines
* and can contain *formatting*
* and other such niceties
which produces this
Text next to the arrow
Text inside the spoiler
which can be multiple lines
The angle-bracket spoilers also work on the eternity client, as it's just forked from some older reddit client. I made a spoiler oopsy recently with it.
They said the main story was supposed to be the sheriff's. The other guy's just kinda took over too much.
I remember MASH being devoid of music as well.
Is there a list of movies that have no or very little music?
“Creep” has no music and it made it so much better for me. I really enjoyed that film.
That laughter track, however…
I think they are referring to the movie, which (I believe) did not have a laugh track.
If you can find it there was a DVD release of the tv series where the laugh track could be disabled. It's so much better.
Only the American release of the TV show had the laugh track. Whole different show without, isn't it?
Music in a movie instructs you on how you are supposed to feel about what's going on. Even if the music is telling you to feel uncomfortable, it's comforting to have that instruction. No music, no comfort.
Maybe the filmmaker realized that even narrative is comforting.
No Comfort for Musicless Films
Maybe because psychopathy is not a diagnosis. Psychopath is a popular or sometimes criminalism term, it's definition is vague and its use is not very strict. In mental health there's antisocial personality disorder and psychopathic traits in personality testing. But there's no single definition of what being a "psychopath" is.
It's probably about how beliavable in their experience the behaviour of the characters are.
I'm reminded of an old meme, it was a message taped to a dorm's clothes dryer: "Whoever took my wet clothes out of the dryer and put yours in, you're an asshole. Unfortunately for you, so am I. You can find your clothes outside frozen in the snowbank. Problem with that? Room 214."
It's too bad that Room 214 had that run of inexplicable bad luck after that. It was probably just the haunting, though.
Bullies don't like picking on people that stand up for themselves.
You get that from a poster? That's dangerously irresponsible advice for someone who's being bullied. 😶
No, that's a reasonable response.
I would've put in something like "I did something to your clothes. Have fun finding out what"
I've run into more Patrick Batemans than Anton Chigurhs in my career.
Yeah but how many of them snapped and killed some people? I think that's part of why that movie did well: it portrays a personality type that many can relate to. But it doesn't mean that taking the extra step from someone who just doesn't give a shit about others to someone willing to stab them to death is realistic.
I heard Todd from breaking bad was the best depiction of a psychopath in media. He's not just outright evil like Anton he just doesn't really have feelings of guilt or remorse like normal people.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how genius a performance that was? Pre-Breaking Bad, I had no feelings about Jesse Plemons one way or the other. Now, every time I see him in something, I immediately think "What's this personified incarnation of evil up to now?"
I don't think Anton was outright evil. I don't think you consider yourself evil for swatting a fly. To Anton people who crossed him were no different than flies to be swatted. And of course killing (or trying to kill) some people, like Moss, were just part of the job. He was simply violent because it was in his nature.
I think "killing people like they were flies" disqualifies you from anything above "neutral" on the morality chart, like pretty handily too.
I thought the Bateman we saw was his fugue dissociated interpretation
I think we see during war times just how many latent psychopaths we have amongst us.
I think a lot of people are fine with making others suffer or die when they gain something for it (status, survival, money).
When did science tell you that, though? That sounds like a reinterpretation was made somewhere along the way.
I've heard that last paragraph so many times and I can't describe the pain I get in my eyes from them rolling so far back in my head.
Typically this shit comes from theists who can only find meaning in life if it comes in the form of some dusty old book written by unknown people some 2000 years ago.
Theism tells people their lives only matter to serve some made up deity for the hope of some eternal peace after they die. It's a socially acceptable cult praying on people who are lost, think they hold no self worth, or can't handle the existential terror of death.
You don't need theism to have meaning in life. The meaning of your life is the one you give to yourself, bereft of any outside influences. Nobody's life should be beholden to anyone else's standards or expectations.
We're all pointless. This life is all we get. Don't waste it trying to find some grandiose meaning. Just live it.
We are not pointless at all, and I'm sorry you feel that way. What I wrote has nothing to do with theism or deitys or cults. :)
i think the concept of death is relaxing. guaranteed that one day it will be over and you can rest
Science also tells everyone they are pointless pieces of dust
Can you cite any studies? Because that sounds more like philosophy territory.
