Pepe Silvia Browne posted:Idgi either but here's my guess: with the rising cost of everything zoomers can only afford to get tattoos that are relatively small and in black ink. It continuing to be trendy probably has to do with them being so much cheaper than getting a color half-sleeve this sounds pretty accurate but also i think people no longer have that weird attitude that every tattoo needs to be super deeply meaningful, it can just be a design you think is cool at the time and what is meaningful is that the tattoo marks that time in your life

I could see this being a very generationally-correlated attitude as at least half of the 20somethings I see walking around where I live have some ink on them. Like you guys say, much of it tends to be monochromatic with simple lines. I imagine it's also easier to find someone who can do a tattoo like that well. It still blows my mind how good some tattoo artists can be with the fancier tattoos that look like someone transferred a full painting onto someone's back. Like this: https://static.demilked.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/5d7b42bbd7868-full-back-tattoo-ideas-36-5d160c41ed87b__700.jpg

It is pretty cool that tattoos have become so accepted that when you become too old and your brain breaks it breaks on "but why are so many tattoos simple line drawings?" and no longer just the idea of getting one

Pulcinella posted:Very funny for how much capitalism likes to promote the idea that the all the money should go to the capitalists and not the workers because the ownership class takes on all the risk, they are very risk averse. The wealthiest companies are the most risk averse. Disney should be incredibly well equipped and financially able to withstand creating new things even if they flop, yet can only buy up and produce old ideas (e.g. flooding the market with cape poo poo and Star Wars). The more risk averse they are the faster they burn out currently financially viable ideas. Same in video games with GAAS or plastic guitar games. The more the rate of profit continues to fall the more they run that poo poo into the ground. Capitalism can't make new ideas, only strip-mine existing ones. the baffling part of this is that this is how we used to produce commercial content and its still how most other countries also produce commercial content but its still being presented to us that hollywood is greenlighting weirdass ideas like a willy wonka prequel because the invisible hand demands it like engaging in all this bullshit is how they lost the chinese market but no one is ever going to admit that when its commonly understood that china is run by communists who must have cheated somehow or else why would they stop watching movies that even american audiences dont want to watch anymore

Pulcinella posted:From what I've read it's on Disney+ literally everywhere except the USA, where it's on Hulu for some reason (even though I believe Disney has a large stake in Hulu if they don't own it outright at this point). disney plus in the united states is really obsessed with branding themselves on disneyesque content but disney plus branches in other countries are just greenlighting stuff they think people will actually want to watch without any regard to the brand is whats causing this disconnect putting this stuff on hulu is actually the compromise position what disney plus in the united states used to do was just not greenlight it for american distribution at all this is something that really pissed off people like kdrama fans since there wasnt any actual tangible benefit for the parent company to force people to resort to piracy when theyd be perfectly happy to just give disney money instead

Cookie Cutter posted:When all is said and done the most unrealistic part of True Detective was that Childress still had to support himself by getting a regular job, and that left the clues by which he could eventually be found. To paraphrase Brad Pitt in The Counselor, in real life the wealthy keep their murderers and rapists on paid retainer. my impression of what was going on in the first season of true detective was that the cult had already broken up by the time the story starts from the detectives perspective chronologically and that childress was just a loose end theyd completely forgotten about and werent even keeping tabs on because disbanding the cult meant never ever talking about it ever again like its pretty clear most of the people involved in the conspiracy didnt even have a clue what they were covering up they were just being given favors in the good old boy network to accept plausible explanations for why kids were disappearing childress continues to do the murders anyway because hes a brainbroken fruitcake but its now a much more low class operation is how our heroes are even able to get a handle on it in the first place their main obstacle is the information blackout caused by disbanding the cult because the case is actually quite easy to piece together once you have a list of all the people who were working at the tuttle schools

Nichael posted:he was a war criminal and so is iroh. he just gets away with it because he had a redemption arc like bush painting his dead victims. this actually really nails what makes zuko and iroh so offputting in the netflix avatar the story is insisting on framing them sympathetically when theyre not really doing any sympathetic things yet so they just sulk around apologetically about the fact that theyre nazis like if you made a movie about the iraq war thats leading up to bush painting his dead victims youd be getting a very similarly incoherent tone you cant really have a redemption arc if you dont first acknowledge that a character was wrong and bad to begin with live action avatar presents zuko and iroh and even azula of all people as if they were the victims of circumstance with no agency in fire nation politics

As I've said, despite loving Avatar (the bending one, not the alien poo poo one), I can't bring myself to watch the live action show because it feels really weird and unnecessary. I am still going to be an ostensible adult man going to see the animated film next year.

I am still going to be an ostensible adult man going to see the animated film next year. I watched the first ep and it looked pretty and the fighting was cool. Kid was annoying at first but got better. I tried watching the cartoon first but it was a bit janky and cheap looking. Sorry if it was good but I'm really superficial. I'm guessing if I'd seen it when I was younger I would have liked it a lot more.
