i got bored/distracted of watching blood moon like 10-15 mins in, so i guess it is like starfield. maybe when its patched up i will go back.

watched the creator instead. seemed like a vietnam war movie mashed with scifi videogame whatever. denzel's sons acting is getting a bit better.

I heard The Counselor was going through a reappraisal period, have you seen it since it came out?

I've never seen it, but I heard Cormac McCarthy worked on the script for it as well so it's always been on my radar despite its reputation.

the Counselor is bad (duh, it's a Ridley Scott movie), but it's bad in a very strange, zesty way that I would say makes it worth watching regardless

Adams was a self-proclaimed "radical atheist", an advocate for environmentalism and conservation, and a lover of fast cars,[3] technological innovation and the Apple Macintosh.

would douglas adams have been a terf if he didn't die in 2001?


yes or very much yes?

It's good, very funny and not too long, so it's very worth watching even if it's not great. You'll be saying "jesus christ" for days afterward.

most liberals-gone-terf, especially perfidious Brits, were at one point just vaguely "progressive" as a brand and made money off it; they didn’t have a hardcore, focused niche they actually lived and worked in as far as international advocacy and activism went. I think deep down he would have been a terf, but he loved animals and the environment so much that he'd have spent enough time surrounded by trans-accepting peers to know to keep his mouth shut if he wanted to stay in that space

I'm reading Terry Prachett's Diskworld again. He's so good at just dropping you into a story. I picked Book 26, Thief of Time and no matter if you know the deep lore or not, he keeps using new ways to explain the same metaphors and it is simply the best of the British comedy scifi/fantasy.

The Heart of Gold visits a planet of priggish ham people who run a police state with many obscure rules centered around the correct use of the gendered bathrooms. Like seriously 70% of their economy is based on maintaining the bathroom bureaucracy. Their entire system collapses when a routine genital check reveals Zaphod has nearly two dozen alien sex organs surgically grafted on him "because you never know"

Critical rotten tomatoes scores are all based on the number of screeners they received prior to the debut of the season, yeah? IIRC they were rqting the season based on the first two episodes.

if i had to give a nonshitposty answer it would probably be this s07 e01 of rick and morty is crazy bad and i would never have guessed this same season would also produce the delicious spaghetti suicide episode and the stupidly anticlimactic rick prime evil morty teamup and also the comically recursive fear hole story

still doesnt explain why regular non critic users have turned against it tho

the difference is we wouldn't think about him. he made a comic strip, and however popular they may be at their height, only one of those survived the strip's demise in any meaningful way. Boondocks is gone. Calvin and Hobbes is gone. The Far Side is gone. Garfield will, possibly, be the second, after Peanuts

I remember some terfs tried to claim Pratchett would have been one of them sometime after his death (which is pretty clearly nonsense if you've read basically anything he ever wrote) and his daughter went on an absolute tear telling them off.

Rick and Morty's always been all over the place, probably a point in its favour that the show at least commits to the bit.
