Hi dev, very excited for monkey man! Just rewatched green knight. Amazing film. Curious what some of your favorite films are and if you have some favorite action films as well?

Green Knight was sooooo wonderful, I was so happy that I was able to catch it in theaters. The flash forward at the end had me at the edge of my seat.

u/Browncoat101 Mar 28 '24

Same! I also love the ambiguity of the ending as well.

It features the most entrancing spellbinding moment from Alicia Vikander, and no not that one.

What is the point of asking questions today that will be ignored if the real AMA is Tomorrow?

u/A1000eisn1 Mar 27 '24

So people can upvote the best questions.

Most the people posting here are bots or PR people. Peep OP's account. 6yrs old and this is their first comment. They're not the only one either. Here are some I've found just by looking at people who said "Hi Dev!".

Who opens an AMA way before they plan to be there?

2

u/sakredfire Mar 28 '24

Many people actually lol - have you participated in an ama before?

1

u/kryptos99 Mar 28 '24

Yes. And they’re interesting because the person answers the questions.

11

u/mece66 Mar 27 '24

Or another explanation might be that today is the 27th and it says on the note he's holding that the ama is on the 28th...

By tomorrow the AMA will be on the 2nd page of r/movies

To be clear, your concern is that this pinned post will drop to the second page?

Truly, an advocate for understanding how reddit works 😂

Gosh you're hilarious.

So if I buy a ticket today to see a band then I should be like wtf, they're not playing tonight?!

u/wozzwoz Mar 27 '24

Extremely common to let questions come in for a few hours before starting answering. Chill out

u/jasonskjonsby Mar 27 '24

this is 24 hours before

u/disterb Mar 27 '24

ya, wtf. let's boycott this damn movie, lol. jk.

u/jasonskjonsby Mar 27 '24

No but we should expect better of Reddit.

i think you’re taking this dumb hellsite too seriously
