Help me find a movie

I have been looking everywhere for this movie I watched some time ago and I can't find it. I have no idea how it was called. It was on Netflix (don't know if still is), I don't think it was an original. It was some sort of indie or film festival movie, I believe it also won some sort of prize. I pretty sure it was east Asian, but I can't say for sure, maybe Korean.

::: spoiler Movie plot including ending The movie plays in a cafe. The main protagonist has feelings for his neighbor. His room is over the cafe. There is a computer screen in his room and in the cafe. He and some friends/colleagues discover that the screens are suddenly connected but with a 1 minute time difference, you see in one screen what will happen on the screen camera on the other screen in one minute, on the other you will see one minute into the past. They mess around with it, but they realize that they can't change anything, everything they see happens exactly as they see it. In the end they put both screens in f

About THAT one obviously bad part in Alien Romulus

Rant …

::: spoiler spoiler I’m talking about Ash/Rook, obviously.

Just saw the film recently, and while it’s a bit of a love it or hate it film I think, the Rook character is I think objectively egregious.

The idea is good, IMO, in a number of ways, and I can understand that the film makers felt like it was all done with love and affection for Holm and the character. As a viewer, not necessarily onboard with how many cues the film was taking from the franchise, I noticed the silhouette of Rook pretty quickly and was quite happy/hyped to see where it would go.

But OMG the execution is unforgivable! And I feel like this is just so much of what’s wrong with Hollywood and VFX, and also indicates that some execs were definitely intervening in this film. Somewhat fortunately for the film, it had a low budget (AFAICT, by Wikipedia) and is making a profit.

But it’s no excuse to slap some bad CGI onto shots that were not designed for bad CGI. Close ups on the uncanny valley! Come o

Alien: Romulus (2024) - What did you think?

As a huge Alien fan, I have come away from tonight's screening actually angry. The sets and practical effects were fantastic, but you barely saw the aliens until the climax to the mid-section of the film.

Bringing back Ian Holm as Rook took some getting used to, especially as some of those shots were off. It seemed to get better as the film progressed. I already have a theory on that one. The credits listed the crew who worked on the Rook animatronic. I wonder if they were displeased with the result and used CGI to cover the face? (Maybe I'm just too angry at the moment 😆)

The visual and audio Easter eggs were annoying, especially when Andy repeated Ripley's line. My audience laughed, and I was just facepalming by this point.

I think what finally broke the camel's back was the third act, which links the film to Covenant and Prometheus. I didn't like those films as hey try to explain the alien's origins, and now we have to have a fight with a creature that was giving me *Alien:Resur

The shirtless scene in Deadpool & Wolverine is thematic

Earlier in the film, we are told that Worst Wolverine wore the Xmen uniform out of guilt and to remember his lost teammates, Deadpool jokes about it.

In the finale, when Wolverine redeems himself, not only fighting to save the people in the void but also DPs universe, his chains (the suit) symbolically explodes showing that he is free of his guilt

Also this is a pretty good way of tying in the mandatory shirtless scene in a somewhat meaningful way even if it doesnt seem so at first in a movie full of call outs
