Starks posted:Don't Look Up is a weird movie, there's a lot of half-baked stuff in there. Both relationship sub plots go nowhere, Chalamet is completely wasted, the president is actually like 3 different characters, etc etc. It could've been funny but it needed more time in the oven IMO. The best joke in the movie is the general charging for snacks and they recycle it like 6 times. Still the best Chalamet film all year

I stopped watching Pluto after it kept serving me non-stop alt-right propaganda during the ad breaks. Has it calmed down a bit?

This was in Colorado a couple years ago and included things like people pretending to be healthcare workers attacking access to healthcare. They were pretty nasty political ads and the same ones would play over and over again during a show so it got real tiresome.

veni veni veni posted:It's making their service look pretty bad atm. One of the most expensive services that just keeps raising their prices and you have to dig to find anything other than their flavor of the moment, which increasingly seems to be mostly trash reality shows. Feels like there is 5 things to watch on there. There's a lot of things making their service look pretty bad right now. It's bizarre to see them flailing publicly in response to the quarterly report; the instant appearance of plans to implement advertising tiers, punish account sharers, defund content, and limit their service in other ways make them look panicked. There are probably some meaningful, long-term changes they could make to attract subscribers again but rushed decision-making isn't going to get them there.

All of these companies are so bad at creating UIs to pick and watch videos I have to believe it’s intentional at this point I was thinking about how we’ve seemed to regress when I was trying to use YouTube Music in my car and it would only show me a portion of an artist’s albums that showed in the app on my phone.

veni veni veni posted:I just think it should be called a "speculamentary" or something (probably a less stupid name would be better). Surely they will make a new one in a decade and the science surrounding dinosaurs will have changed so much half of it will look dated, just like every previous dino doc. I know they are using a mix of existing ecosystems, fossil records etc. so it's not just making poo poo up on the fly, but no one is ever going to know what it was like in the prehistoric era so I think "documentary" as a tag is off. lol

precision posted:any time i watch a random new Simpsons episode, i'm either astonished by how bad it actually is, or astonished that it's not that bad. it doesn't seem to ever have hit that bland middle road that most Family Guy sunk into Yeah I’ve caught a few newer ones that are actually well-written but whenever FX cycles back to the beginning of the series I’m reminded that the earlier episodes were massively better.

Wolfsheim posted:Everything has been said about it at this point (because it's twenty years old and redefined television and etc etc) but it's so funny rewatching it now because the central themes of 'people dont change and everything is only getting worse' has come to define our entire culture lol Yeah I’d be interested in seeing what people think *didn’t* age well about its portrayal of society and the lives these people lead, because a lot of it still seemed perfectly relevant. Especially when it comes to how the wealthy interact have such a different experience with law and consequence.

Wolfsheim posted:More writers need to adopt a "gently caress the fans" attitude instead of whatever this is This isn't even about "gently caress the fans," it's having confidence in your own writing. What a strange thing to do. It's not wrong for fans of the show to talk about it and theorize about what's happening.

I was expecting half-assed, embarrassing and poorly-shot junk but it was just really well done all around. I couldn’t stand Dominion and gave up on it after about 15 minutes. It was made with all the money in the world and turned out exactly how I was worried Prey would. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Aug 6, 2022 |

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I know. It was just funny that they made such a big deal out of hyping it, went through all the trouble of producing a tie-in comic about the pirate the Predator hunted with, and then excised all of it, but kept the old-timey pirate gun. That’s not even the only unexplained lore-building prop in the movie though The implication is pretty straightforward just based on the context of the Predator having something like that
