The Leftovers. If I were to ever put together a top 10 list of personal favorites, this would be at the top then in a distant second I could start ranking the rest. I love how fully realized its concepts were. I love how it stuck true to its convictions right up to the end. I love the mashup of science fiction and fantasy and grief and contemporary life. I love the beautiful Max Richter score. For a show that starts pretty bleak in the first few episodes you really feel the love and warmth by the end of the series and the discovery of inner piece.

I always like to add this caveat to anyone jumping in, the first half of season one can be tough. Episode 3 is a good taste of what the show is at its best and episode 6 is one of the best in the series and the point where most people are fully hooked.

Girl Talk in 09 in Vancouver. We were early at the venue and they were selecting a few people to be up on stage for the whole show. Never sweat so hard in my life.

Same. I’m still primarily a Plex user for the player (it’s just easier for sharing libraries with everyone) but I love the arr stuff. Just got readarr setup for audio books and audiobookshelf for the player which is really nice.

Probably my favorite feature of the arr suite is in Radarr and list subscribing. I’ve got mine connected to some good letterboxd lists along with things like tmdb popular to keep my library up to date with recent stuff. Also there’s some podcasts I listen to like The Rewatchables. I just subscribe to the lists of movies on letterboxd and I can easily keep up with the podcast.

I’ve literally gotten spam emails that include a real password I’ve used in the past in the subject with some vaguely threatening message. Thanks to all these leaks, spammers are getting more targeted. Luckily I’ve been generating all my passwords for the last few years so I don’t have to worry about specific passwords getting out as much anymore.

Can we please avoid all the editorializing in AskLemmy. I came to the comments to see an answer to this question and it’s all comments about what people think about him instead of actually answering the question.

That’s fair. Lost had trouble because they were building the track as they went. I still loved the ride though. For me, I don’t think every question needs an answer as long as what it creates feeds into the themes of the show. Like on Lost, I wish they never explained the Smoke Monster, it just wasn’t necessary.

With Leftovers, I’d say it’s ending is the perfect summation of the show and anything else would betray what it was going for.

You’re not alone in not liking the ending though. I’ve had this conversation before and it’s totally ok not to.

Just a warning, the third episode is notoriously bad and not indicative of the quality of the rest of the show. It’s totally skippable.

I’m a huge fan of anything Damon Lindelof has been a head writer on

Lost

Watchmen

And my personal all time favorite show:

The Leftovers

He’s latest show Mrs. Davis is ok too but not quite as good as his previous stuff.

Another show recommendation that I love to give because no one watched it is The English. It’s a crazy stylish western, reminds me of Coen Brothers.

Added to the watchlist!

Ah cool haven’t seen this one, thanks!

Yes! I loved it

I’ve been building my all time favorite 100 list but my number 1 has been constantly Casino Royale. The list: https://boxd.it/jQWau

I usually don’t have a specific genre of choice but I love to dig into micro genres for a stretch. Lately my favorite micro genre is “people in a room talking”. The obvious ones here are 12 Angry Men, Rear Window and My Dinner with Andre. Long Days Journey into Night, Buried, Locke, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe, Rope , Tape. “Before” series works well here too. A really good one I saw recently was Big Kahuna.

This also pairs well with tiny budget Sci-Fi. Like Man from Earth, Coherence, Another Earth, Moon, Vast of Night.

What’s your favorite social security number?

My dad’s Pixel 5 has some mad burn in. You can see the circles from his home screen icons across other apps. I’ve never had this happen personally, not sure how it happened to his.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Yea I found this jarring. The show starts with him having a legion suicide bomber kids and wants us to sympathize with him by the end of the season.

Trent Reznor even said it’s no longer his (Trent’s) song

Fight Club. Even the author preferred some of the changes made for the movie.

Don’t know about your answer specially but can get EV conversion kits that provide the hardware to turn older cars into EVs. Of course you really have to know what you’re doing or know someone who does and the kits themselves are often as expensive as mid range vehicles.

My two year old daughter loves My Neighbor Totoro, we even got her a giant Totoro stuffy for Christmas.
