I will say one thing in the movie's favor, it had maybe the most... unique solution to a zombie apocalypse I've ever seen in any form of media, aside from maybe Daybrakers and its magical Vampire catapult (and I think that one turned out to be a red-herring in the end).

There's a short story I can never remember the name of where, like Return of the Living Dead, zombies can't be killed by any means, so they build giant blenders in quarry pits and toss them all in there where they are slowly ground into slurry. Later it's shown that the people who do the zombie capture are becoming kind of zombie-like. Return of the Living Dead 3 recognizes that zombies are perpetual motion machines, so while the lady wants to use them to power exo-frames, they could be used to generate power.

Sir Kodiak posted:To my recollection, those studies count people who, for example, manned artillery among those who never pulled the trigger. Which may be technically accurate, but creates a false impression of soldiers being unwilling to fire rather than being assigned to roles in which there was no need for them to. Extensive studies were done in Vietnam and over 90% of soldiers in a position to fire their weapon at an enemy did so. The claim is mainly based on the work of SLA Marshall, who purported to show via interviews with combat troops that less that 15% of men in combat actually fired their weapons in WWII. He basically made this up. https://www.historynet.com/long-dead-hand-s-l-marshall-misleads-historians/

It sounds more like they’re cutting back on streaming originals like the shows because they don’t make money.

This has probably been a long time coming, but given what happened today and the timing of this announcement, I can't help but think this is also at least partly an attempt to control the narrative before the new release schedule really starts to taper off. "See, we're not running out of movies, this was actually our master plan all along!"

All five of those movies have maybe 40 minutes of good content between them, mostly scenes between Mark Hamill and Daisy Ridley.

But... blocking people or things is bad. It sounds like a chain of people or things I blocked, why would I want that?! Is the joke that they want me to add The Flash to the long line of poo poo I block? I don't even block anything!

Blockchain means we will have a record of everyone a d everything who has bought or handled a product whether it's software or in the real world. How does this apply to a movie? Are we able to resell The Flash after we have bought it? Can we buy a digital copy of the Flash, found that the scene where Nic Cage Superman fights a giant robot spider have somehow been expanded into a 30 minute scene, and check the blockchain records to find out we bought a version that was once owned and modified by Jon Peters?

I thought the Last Jedi was great but that's contentious so. Andor is great. Mandalorian has like one and a half good seasons. Rogue One is mostly good.
