They will have to come back in some capacity. The era of bloated blockbuster, Disneys stranglehold and capeshit is starting to come to an end considering how many of their films have flopped or struggled this year. People want some sort of return of mid budget unique original film and television is starting to crawl back. The issue is you cannot treat art like some sort of silicion valley tech bro bullshit, the last 10-12 years of how the industry has been going needs to be erased.

Dear God please let this be true. :pray:

i'd like this to be true but i just don't know........ Barbie is about to run the box office and while it very well may be good it seems a likely harbinger of the next wave of IP slop, riding on the heels of Blackberry, Air, Flamin Hot, Tetris, Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story (coming later this year)..... hell you could even lump the Mario and D&D movies in there


i fear the dawn of the Brand/Product movie is upon us

It's incredible how quickly it came on too. It feels like the trailer for Air came out like two weeks ago and I was like that's dumb, and then I blinked and it's everywhere now. Does seem like the comic book slop wagon was getting harder to fill so they had to pivot to something else.

Grape nuts were another all time favorite cereal. The box says very few grams of sugar, but guess what your body's metabolism complicates things and it may not, in fact be part of this balanced breakfast. Which in the 80's-90's was a big glass of orange juice, milk, buttered toast, and some carby cereal.

Kind of sounds unhinged to rant about cereal but I basically considered it a meal replacement. Whoops, high cholesterol now. Owned by marketing lol

It's funny because I tried grape nuts for the first time in forever recently because I was trying to get more fiber and they were WAY harder than I remembered. Like I had to set them aside to soak in the milk for a few minutes. Fast forward a few hours later I felt something sharp with my tongue and upon further inspection it was my tooth. Half of it was gone. I broke a filled tooth with the grape nuts and the hard bits I was chewing were little bits of filling.

edit: hope u all enjoyed my grandpa story about trying to get more fiber and breaking a filling

I talked about the ideology of 90s movies before but this is basically a very 90s thing. basically a ton of well-to-do middle class insurance adjusters or w/e having existential crises about "what is life, is this what i'm supposed to be doing?" there's so many

then the 2000s hit and everything took a poo poo with declining material conditions and now no one has time to have existential crises because they don't have money.

Yep. I feel like 1999's "American Beauty" was the ultimate culmination of all that.

quote:

The cockpit voice recorder, which captures sounds such as engine noises and pilots’ voices, was “completely overwritten,” since devices are currently only required to retain two hours of audio at a time, Homendy said.

“There is nothing on the cockpit voice recorder,” she said, noting the maintenance team went out to get the recorder around the two-hour mark when the devices begin a new recording cycle.

“We’re disappointed that the cockpit voice recorder was overwritten,” Homendy said Monday.

The audio captured by the recorders is “critical” to helping investigators understand what occurred during the incident, Homendy said. Without it, there is no record of communications between pilots and flight attendants as the crisis was unfolding.

“If that communication is not recorded, that is, unfortunately, a loss for (the NTSB), and a loss for the FAA and a loss for safety because that information is key not just for our investigation, but for improving aviation safety,” Homendy said.

Target is a garbage store. Nothing is ever in stock even though the website tells you it is and gives you the exact isle number. The last time I went I asked a dude if they had a pair of headphones in stock and he spent ten minutes looking it up on his TargetPhone(TM) before I just told him it was all good and left.
