Optimal best picture winners are films people will accuse you of making up if you mention them the next year.

Mythic Quest gets a solid "ok" from me as a former games industry guy The part of it that seemed unusual to me is that Rob McElhenny's character seems to be getting set up as a buffoon villain archetype who is always wrong, but in the very first episode I was unironically taking his side (devs cannot just add features to games on their own without consulting product!) and he's actually right more often than he's wrong

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:we all remember CODA don't we folks? Someone came into the library looking for that yesterday. It was never released on DVD / Blu-Ray and I had no memory of it even existing. *edit* there are blu-ray rips out there so maybe it does exist? I dunno, no one had it and I couldn't find it listed for sale on Amazon or anything. Substandard has issued a correction as of 21:05 on Jan 24, 2023 |

I had expected the opposite very disappointing movie esp because anonymous hyped it up a lot and I trust them to tell me what movie is good and bad

mythic quest is ok, but its very hit or miss with its satire. sometimes itll feel really on point about certain aspects of online gamer culture, and other times youll think its making fun of nfts and the metaverse and you get to the end of the ep and realize "oh no. rob is a dumbass" also reminds me of Last Man on Earth where the one off eps are better than the actual show. never a good idea to let the audience know that, actually, you could be watching something better loquacius posted:Mythic Quest gets a solid "ok" from me as a former games industry guy yeah, its weird. his character is kind of a pastiche of like a Chris Metzen style rockstar dev and a Molyneux-esque messianic narcissist in reality, Metzen is just kind of a dumb guy who was charismatic enough to turn doodling muscly orcs and space marines into a massive career, his coolness does not extend beyond the Blizzcon convention grounds, and every big ideas "genius" game developer is completely full of poo poo and never delivers on anything they promise this should be a perfect character for Rob. instead it feels like he wanted to stay far away from just playing Mac again, and ended up making Ian a cool ripped successful genius whose only flaw is not knowing when to let other people have a say, which he overcomes by the second season

I've only watched two or three episodes but the premise is usually - here's an old thing, it's falling apart, the Craftsman shows you why it's falling apart and how he will remake it so that it doesn't fall apart again in the future. There will probably be a talking head at some point where he talks about a painful part of his life and how pouring himself into his craft helped him overcome it and you will cry a single tear thinking about how you too will be an old man trying his best someday.

The oscars are an industry award like if an exclusive American dental association awarded for 'best root canal' and always selected from its own memebers... and somehow the world recognized it as valid. it's almost completely meaningless who is nominated, wins, loses but they have about a century of american media saying it's the most important award show so it still is even tho you openly have to bribe votes to win Antonymous has issued a correction as of 21:55 on Jan 24, 2023 |

The Discworld book I'm currently reading, Moving Pictures, is a take on early-Hollywood-type stories wherein the "spirit of Hollywood" is a literal evil spirit which is unleashed at the beginning of the book and begins possessing people so that they all move to "Holy Wood," a filmmaking company town, convinced that being in five-minute silent film reels is the most important undertaking imaginable, and that it's worth waiting around for months for a chance to audition for them because their life could have no meaning otherwise. This is treated exactly the same as any other demonic possession might be, when it is found out. Pratchett does this kind of thing with modern concepts sometimes -- the premise for one of the City Watch books is that a fictionalized Leonardo da Vinci has invented a gun, and it has fallen into the wrong hands; the gun is treated exactly the same as an evil cursed sword might be in another more typical fantasy book. I can appreciate it a lot as a way to do relevant social commentary in a fantasy setting.
