Please hire me to write my Hellraiser script where the protagonists are all members of the idle rich and it's two acts of banal human villainy followed by quick and gory deaths (Because the cenobites are the lesser evil.)

the original short story is actually poorly written and pretty boring but I like the fact that she took a giant loving swing and tore her achilles on the follow through. it’s a shame what happened to her cause of her stupidly-chosen title because we need more people trying to rip dingers in the sci fi short story format

I've heard the thought proposed that Clarkesworld might have benefitted (unintentionally) from the furor, in that it got their engagement up. There's a conversation to be had about a trend in late capitalism about larger entities(as an institution), such as Clarkes reducing what little protections they have for their clients - particiularly as tools like social media allow interface that was expensive but easier to moderate before or stirring the pot in ways that harm their clients, quite separate from the discussion of the profound culpability of the ringleaders of the harassment or the community itself.

The first season covered the whole book. I felt it unraveled by the second half but it’s literally better to end now than going past the book like so many shows (13 Reasons Why, Westworld, Handmaiden’s Tale) and sucking.

wife and I are watching the live action mulan and holy poo poo is this movie bad. Way too loving serious, and the fight scenes are just so lifeless. I usually like wire-fu rule of cool bullshit but they slow it down to like bullet time and it's 90% cgi so the eye just slides off it.

here's a good video about why it sucks compared to the cartoon by a Chinese person

yo hobbs and shaw loving owned the whole transition from it being just before dawn when they started that whole big fight scene at the end to being midday when the helecopter chase happens was so quick it was impossible not to notice it. Then the movie going from clear skies and sunny before they fell off a cliff to pouring down rain after they fell off the cliff so that they could have the climactic fight scene in the rain. I get that this poo poo is common in these types of movies and that noticing it makes me lame but they didn't even try and make the scene transitions blend together to the point that I, someone who genuinely loves braindead movies that I can just sit back and not think about, noticed them it loving owns so hard, there's probably a bunch of other stuff that I had forgotten about that made the movie even better but tbqh I don't remember what it is
