For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art....
Agree with you on that. Many of the “oscar bait” movies are not that great for just watching. For instance, “the Revenant” was not a great picture in my opinion.
What probably elevates them is watching for all the minutiae in the acting and really focussing on the actors instead of the greater picture. However, I think great moments have to be earned through screemwriting. A great example is “the Wire”. Lives caught short, loves truly lost, and a realisation you are just part of a greater machine. These are all earned moments of pure emotion that films often do not get because of their tight focus. I do not mean to encourage film makers to lengthen their movies, please for the love of god, your movies are lengthy enough.
Look into the SPtarkov mod. It is regretfully only single player but you can just relax and sometimes do a mission or 2. It also has mod support to remove the things about the game you find tiresome.
Every now and again I fire it up and play a map or 2. I have had the same character for over a year now.
I wish that were true. But most people i know getting crushed/burning out like their job. It is much easier to take on “extra’s” when you are motivated by the work you are doing to the point of unsustainability.
Just googled them. They seem to be twins to a worrying degree. If something happens to one, it has to happen to both of them, including unnecessary medical procedures. They seemed to really go off the deep end when realising they might not get pregnant together.

In one week from today it will be 2 years into a “3 day special military operation”. At some point even the most delusional people have to face the music. We can only hope that it eats at his psychological health and he soon drops dead.
Urban fighting is hell and tends to favor numbers. Pulling back might be the best choice. Getting back in the fields and effectively using the superior equipment seems more productive.
