just a heads up, if you don't have an arthouse movie in your top 10 after your first week here, you're automatically banned.
Mainstream Dude Hoping to Fit In Here
Rocky sucks!
Na, I haven't seen it so I can't really judge.
But Stallone is a terrible actor.

Good luck trying to figure out half of what he's mumbling.

10 years have passed since I last left here. Quite a bit of history during my time. A fair share of drama too. But I remember a lot of good times here too.
Not here to offer apologies or anything for past dumb mistakes made by that young lad—that’d be self-serving at this point. Just looking to revisit and reintroduce myself to an old community I’ve missed.
So, a reintroduction: I’m a 35-year-old Singaporean Chinese who first joined MoFo around 2014, back when I was 24. Still a movie fan, though my passion for certain things has shifted. I used to be a huge Pixar and Spider-Man guy, but over time that flame’s dimmed. The MCU’s take on Spidey just didn’t land for me, and Pixar’s magic has worn thin.
My love for film started early—raised on American cartoons and movies, I gradually drifted from blockbusters toward more sophisticated films driven by complex societal commentary rather than cool visuals. That said, my core taste hasn’t changed much. I still lean toward films that strike a balance between entertainment and intellectual depth. What I called “entertaining art” back then still holds true now.
Of course, mainstream cinema has changed a lot since. Remakes, reboots, legacyquels—endless attempts to squeeze every drop from familiar IPs. It’s gotten tiresome. I haven’t been watching as many films lately, and my last Marvel movie (Quantumania) honestly just left me cold.
These days, I’m more focused on TV shows than films. I’ll talk more about that in the TV-binging thread—I’ve got a somewhat peculiar viewing pattern I stick to. I still catch the occasional movie, though. My last theater visit was for Nosferatu, which I thought was a gorgeously executed gothic horror piece.
Anime? Haven’t kept up in a while. Last one I watched was Attack on Titan season 3. Might catch up on The Final Season eventually in a few months, but the modern anime landscape doesn’t really grab me anymore. Seems like the intellectually meaty stuff—like Monster or Aoi Bungaku—is becoming rare, replaced with lighter slice-of-life content. I did watch Chainsaw Man though; that was glorious action. Looking forward to the upcoming movie.
Anyway, here’s to more thoughtful, hopefully amicable conversations going forward. I’m still me—just with a few more miles on the tires, and a bit more perspective under the hood.

Bro, I almost mistook your account for mine just by looking at your top ten.
