red letter media did a video on that too but basically sony's marketing push after the disastrous trailer was almost entirely "no this movie is good, only misogynists hate it!". Sony bought enough reviews to get it a 74% (certified fresh!) on rotten tomatoes, but in the end it didn't really work and nobody saw it.

Silicon Valley is such hotbed of innovation! we can all look forward to a grand shiny future that all vaguely resembles the drab unremarkable alienating suburbs 98% of its population grew up in

i was at a startup event recently and a speaker was asked "what makes silicon valley special", to which they replied that the biggest difference was that there were so many smart old greybeards there who have seen and experienced a lot of things i think it is sort of correct probably, the only catch is that all those smart old greybeards are only smart and experienced in this very small niche at the intersection of technology and US (upper) middle class life which means that enterprising data mining & ai clowns end up being really good at understanding a back propagation algorithm, but really terrible at understanding that most of the world does not need that algorithm in a smartphone app for a water dispenser; they just need a water dispenser in the first place

the thing that makes silicon valley special is that california doesn't enforce noncompetes and there's fairly few tech peeps in la

in my experience, the greybeards are not making smartphone apps for water dispensers. the greybeards are either retired or happily hacking on some arcane piece of technical infrastructure, quite possibly one that they've working on for the last twenty years. the smartphone apps for water dispensers are made by 20-somethings working for 30-somethings who desperately want to be rich before they turn 40
