Don't Look Up is that one meme of "I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards" taken at its most literal. Still probably a good thing to have put out into the world to try and get society to unfuck itself.

swickles posted:That's what I mean. They had enough obvious spoof charcters, like the Bezos/Musk mashup guy, Jonah Hill, etc. The leads and some of the minor characters like wife and family being real is what gave it the reach. That and the mind bogglingly stupid decisions which we would 100% do in that scenario. I love when Toby responds “that would have been great!”

I've never seen the show, but is one of the clips something about being on an airplane and announcing Osama Bin Laden is dead?

From everything I saw about it, The Newsroom was a pretty terrible show. The climate change clip is still pretty good though, and depressing as all gently caress. I never watched Don't Look Up because I really didn't need a movie to tell me something I already know. I think I just would've gotten more depressed.

Yup, it's not quite Studio 60 levels of bad (which also contained a lot of fun bad along with eye rolling bad), and there are some genuinely good performances in it. Overall however its not particularly fun and definitely takes itself way too seriously.

sorkinchat, I saw the stage production of To Kill A Mockingbird and it was well done. He slips the characters in and out of 3rd person in a really seamless way and didn't go overboard with the one liners. It's worth a see.

I've been to Louisiana a couple times and I'm ok with this offer. Mainly because the NOLA Donuts chain here in PDX closed and I got no place to get beignets. Yes I've had the beignets from Cafe du Monde

In these days my friends there is so much information online and so much of it is wrong. It is critical to find a verified expert with real bona fides in whatever field you want to learn about. If you want to add dense, vascular, juicy red slabs of thick functional dense striated muscle…I suggest doing everything Dr Mike Israetel says.

I've been using Ryan Humiston's programs and watching his YT vids and it's kinda revolutionised the way I lift. I get worse doms but have had less niggling tendon strains and little injuries and have gained more lean size in the last year than I did in the previous 2. His programs are really cheap too, like 20 bucks for 5 weeks of 5 days. He's currently doing a bunch of testing videos lately on what muscles are activated best by what exercise and grips using some kind of electrical current... thing. I dunno it's all witch craft to me but his meathead jokes and self deprecating style make me chuckle. https://www.youtube.com/@RyanHumiston/featured Silly Burrito posted:Ever seen a six pound toad?

I feel like Sorkin could probably make some interesting movies and tv shows if he just adapted interesting poo poo from history. Like if he did a movie about the fall of the berlin wall or something it would probably be amazing, but when he's left to his own devices for story and theme I feel he probably sits in a room huffing his own farts.

Right now I want to have technomancy or whatever so this dumb as hell encruption issue would be solved. You would think ALL state government email addresses would be able to open encrypted emails but no, nope. At least the county seems to be able to open them though.

I'm curious as to how the preferred method of killing them is supposed to be kinder. It sounds a lot like 'I'll put you in a plastic bag and suffocate you, but if that doesn't work I'll freeze you to death.' Also looks like you'd need a lot of freezer space.

Sorkin has the problem of being successful enough that nobody gets to edit him. He needs a good, harsh editor, basically, someone he can't overrule somehow. Also someone to write some dialogue so it doesn't all sound like Aaron Sorkin Speaking Out of <actor>'s Mouth.

My gf and I have been watching the X-Files recently and we're at the point that we start to groan whenever an episode opens with a Voice Over because we know we're in 45 minutes of purestrain Chris Carter navel gazing
