It’s gunshot of head, the tricky part obviously is to hold the gun with your teeth while your tongue pulls the trigger

I think this fits here because their reason for this extremely stupid decision is that if they get people to spend more time watching HBO then they'll have more user data to monetize and sell to advertisers. https://twitter.com/jackpoo/status/1016672345564598272 AT&T paid a shitload of money for HBO, which is a pretty unique channel that people are in to because of its uniqueness, and now not even a month later wants to tear down everything unique about HBO and make it Netflix.

Wheeee posted:HBO had a good run Netflix sucks so bad in terms of its original content. They still haven't made a better original movie than Beasts of No Nation - their first one. And their original TV shows are even shittier and more numerous. Their best TV series is a spoof of true crime documentaries, which is by far their most consistently strong content. At least we'll always have The Wire, Rome, Carnivale, and Deadwood. MeatwadIsGod has issued a correction as of 15:28 on Jul 10, 2018 |

the awful karate movie parodies we made in high school to get out of doing Actual Work are lit and photographed and edited better than a team of professionals trying their hardest to earn a living in the employ of Netflix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXt2aCBoPRA&t=40s we were kids who didn't do any martial art, were either fat or emaciated, didn't know a single thing about photography, and didn't have the slightest inclination toward acting, but we'd seen a loving movie before and play-fought before while horsing around like teens and we knew what did and didn't work. kinda. sorta. not really. i dont know what these guys fuckin' excuse is. america used to be good at this. there must've been a time we were good at this.

(dunno if the more recent ip mans that got hollywood-esque budgets are any good though) Shear Modulus has issued a correction as of 19:58 on Jul 10, 2018 |

2 is better than 1 1 kinda deflates in the second half whereas 2 just builds and builds to a really satisfying conclusion that neatly sets up a third movie and it has morpheus which is good
