Saw Dune and thought it was dope. My one fake complaint is that it felt like a movie specifically aimed at people who already know the source material, but at the same time I've had a bunch of people who've never read the book say that they really liked it so what do I know? Really wish someone had the guts and money to do an adaptation of Dune Messiah after they finish with DUNC Part 2

Tilda Swinton in Doctor Strange was still loving embarrassing. Yeah, yeah, I know Shang-Chi was fun and watchable . I didn't see it. I remember when consoomers didn't care about yellowface before they decided diversity was good after all. Echo Chamber has issued a correction as of 18:20 on Oct 24, 2021 |

forty is decent but man, that movie cost $165 to make. Double it for marketing and you can't help but think everyone at WB saying it is totally getting its second part is just lying.

I read the first dune book like 10 years ago and don't remember much beyond the barest basics, and I really enjoyed the film. I feel like the film intuits and hints at a lot of things and trusts the viewer will pick up on it, and imo it worked pretty well.

I think at this point it depends on how much Villanueve wants to do the second part and how much the studio values their relationship with him, there's no financial justification for doing it unless they think he can make it up for them with other movies AND threatens to walk over it

AVClub Review posted:Maybe playing Ted Lasso is rubbing off on Jason Sudeikis. Or maybe he was just always hiding a streak of affecting genuineness through his long and suddenly world-bestriding comedy career. But the former Saturday Night Live star’s monologue managed to find the perfect sweet spot between reverent and maudlin when it came to putting his life in Studio 8H into perspective. It’s not everybody who can pull the whole, “look around you” card to an audience without coming off corny, but Sudeikis’ palpable love of the place and his part in its long and storied history got to me (and, seemingly, the audience). How much of SNL is just SNL commenting on how important SNL is?

Horizon Burning posted:not really. that's the problem with self-published books. there's basically two audiences for books -- the traditional audience and the amazon audience. however, traditional publishing is dying for a whole host of reasons and it has been dying for a long time. most authors these days don't make their advances back. self-publishing should be the answer, but amazon is the only storefront for it (being realistic) and the hour-by-hour algorithm-driven means that writing has been market-focused like never before. which means that self-pub is all trends and ripped-from-the-headlines poo poo or really nerdy, terminally online crap like litrpgs. self-pub also basically has category cabals who work together to drive certain keywords, all of them coordinating to write, say, m/m navy seal dubcon romance and release in the month of October to game the system. as someone who works in the industry, books and reading are just in a bad place in general. traditional publishing is supposed to work as that filter, and the "prestige" is literally the only thing traditional publishing can offer a writer these days (and the gamble to be a break out hit), but traditional publishing is doing all kinds of less-than-ideal poo poo like ghostwriting books under the names of YouTubers to try and turn a quick profit. Amazing to hear this. Thank you. Yeah when ever I read a current book I keep thinking "this should be a show on USA. Characters Welcomed" As a whole, do people read more or less now, if you combine tradition publishing and Self Publishing. For Traditional Publishing What is the major internal problems and external problems that are killing Traditional p. What is the average sale of the book? When a book does Hit, how hard does it hit? How many sales, and does it keep the publisher afloat. How well are audiobooks doing? On the Self Published Side: I want to hear more about these cabals to drive certain keywords. Is there a time line of these events? Can I see this happening in real time. That's loving crazy! Overall, how many novels are made? Like is it some crazy number, like, 1000 books a day are put out? I completely forgot the shelf space bottle neck. Brick Stories could not put every book / cd on the shelf. Amazon / Online in general took that dog out back and shot it. Horizon Burning posted:"it's like they're selling everything BUT a novel.." (As a note, Underlying my thoughts is the 1980's DIY punk rock bands like Black Flag, Minor Threat, and Minutemen. Because they provide a simple yet current model of how to exist outside majors.) Aglet56 posted:just wanna say that i dig your posting style

Most story plots: WE need to save the world. I need to make money. - This one is what we call "realism" I want to gently caress this other person. I'm trapped and trying to escape.

The fool is a simpleton, a court jester who is allowed to tell the truth precisely because the 'performative power' (the sociopolitical efficiency) of his speech is suspended; the knave is the cynic who openly states the truth, a crook who tries to sell the open admission of his crookedness as honesty, a scoundrel who admit the need for illegitimate repression in order to maintain social stability. Following the fall of Socialism, the knave is a neo-conservative advocate of the free market, who cruelly rejects all forms of social solidarity as counterproductive sentimentalism; while the fool is a multiculturalist 'radical' social critic who, by means of his ludic procedures destined to 'subvert' the existing order, actually serves as its supplement

Rich people are always the first to praise this kind of poo poo because it's "transgressive" and let's them huff their own farts about how socially conscious they are. See also how they responded to Parasite and AOC's dress. Art has a place in socialist politics but it should be both BY and FOR the working class.

I can't find it but there was some lady who was complaining about how she couldn't get her servants to come over when the lockdown started who also tweeted about how she loved Parasite. The past few years have basically been a daily occurrence of Marie Antoinette moments. Also it seems like Eternals is getting poo poo reviews. Good riddance.
