Your Pretty Face I was keeping up with because I love Henry Zebrowski\Last Podcast and it was one of the odd ones they put on Hulu. It's nuts just how much other stuff Adult Swim has put out while I wasn't paying attention

So the only people still rating things\using IMDB are men aged 50-dead, and little girls, is what I'm getting from that. Twenty years from now it will be revealed that their forums were actually shut down by secret FBI mandate.

some of them (men who rank movies on imdb) certainly are

keep in mind that list is also 100% about degree of gender disparity, not absolute rankings, so there are multiple films with higher rankings for men lower on the list

IMDb has such a lovely UI that I’ve avoided ever making an account for it (and now they practically place a gun to your head to make you), impressed to see that teenagers have more stomach for a 2005 Web 2.0 experience than I do.

I know I joked that it was older guys voting, but I think it's just as likely that it's younger guys that don't really know much about movies but have heard these titles, lying to sound more worldly, when really their favorite movies are...

...what I bolded.

In my experience girls are way more likely to share the stuff they enjoy without shame, especially if they feel comfortable, and what's more comfortable than the anonymity of filling out a quiz or list online? Similarly, also in my experience, younger or more insecure guys- dorks especially- will lie to an empty room about having read and loved Finnegans Wake.

This HBO Max rollout is a weird mess. I looked up what the difference between HBO, HBO Go, HBO Now and HBO Max are, so I'm good there, got an email from Hulu saying that my HBO Now sub has been automatically upgraded to HBO Max (atm the only way to see HBO Max content on a Roku device), but it looks like the extent of my upgrade is that they changed the icon under Premium Add-ons to the new Max branded one. Nothing that was supposed to be there day one is there. Like, supposedly all Turner Media networks' content should be available and it's definitely not. Also, if it was available would I find it under the Hulu networks guide, or the HBO Max icon in the Premium Add-ons subsection? Or would I need to know it was there and do a search for the exact show or movie? The future of accessing streaming media feels like it was brainstormed by Microsoft ui designers 25 years ago.

E: so apparently my Hulu account logs in into the Max app and site, though it doesn't seem like changing the password on one site changes the password on the other (had to use the change password link to get into Max for the first time).

E2: speaking of poo poo ui, in the last 40 minutes the entire layout of Hulu changed, making everything uglier and blockier. Max content still not present, just a weird coincidence that Hulu decided to crap up their site on launch day.

Yeah, lying on anonymous surveys is ingrained early behaviour

Some are saying a lot are moms who watch kids movies, but c'mon, sure as hell not like dudes don't watch cartoon movies and become disproportionately defensive of them

I'm kinda surprised in retrospect that Harry Potter is so popular among women in particular, back in the day it seemed pretty universally popular. Is it because of the fanfiction scene? That men had a wider variety of YA-adjacent stuff aimed towards them to move on to?

I've read on these very forums that Hogwarts is considered to be cops and jocks, ie Hunk School.

Slytherin is nazis.

Ravenclaw are lanyards.

And Hufflepuff is all the cool, chill normal people and the goons writing this crap identify as them, which definitely lines up with being the sort of person that writes a language of flowers for children's media.
