    In which I compare Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's new A24 film, You Can See Everything, to kayfabe in professional wrestling and to Death Note, and argue why it should win best picture.

    I finally sat my husband down to watch Death Note with me, he’d never seen it except for the insane movie with Willem Dafoe (who is literally made for the role of Ryuk it’s crazy) We’re doing 2-3 eps per evening and it’s great

    [Rec] Competency Porn anime (SFW). By "[competency porn](https://reddthat.com/post/75759539/29994114)", I mean you get to see team dynamics at its best, with a leader that genuinely can be a role model like Jean-Luc Picard. *Sound Euphonium* S3 was the closest I can find among those that I have already [watched](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/mo_lave?status=2) *Code Geass* and *Death Note* do not qualify.

    Amusing coincidence, that's Shannon Chan Kent as the roadhouse waitress. Anyone versed in the voiceover/dubbing scene knows her, among other things, as Misa in Death Note, and as she would end up voicing after this film, Amy Rose and her variants in the Sonic Prime tv show #SonicTheHedgehog

    The 2006 Death Note movie has one of the most hilariously heavy-handed origin scenes you'll ever see, because it has a disillusioned Light Yagami throwing a book called "The Compendium of Laws" away and then immediately stumbling upon the Death Note in the middle of the road.

    I watched the Death Note 2017 film adaptation. There is very little to almost nothing that I can praise about the adaptation, but it is also important to understand its intention. According to the director, it is not meant to be a faithful adaptation, but it does try to keep the core themes intact.

    Granted I haven't seen the last episode, but I'm going to air my opinion anyway. I was reading about the netflix Death Note movie and why it was so bad. The director said they wanted to make an "americanized" version of Death Note. I think they really missed the mark there.

    Thinking about the question they had several years ago “This manga by the same artist as Death Note, that the movie the Edge of Tomorrow is based on” And ofc none of the contestants got it, and tbf, it is (kind of?) an obscure manga.

    i disagree: not to say that it's literally impossible to make this framework go, but it's basically the difference between the Death Note anime and the Adam Wingard film, e.g. Light as a prodigy tragically led astray by hubris vs. just a fucking dipshit lucking into cosmic power
