Remember standing in line to get in? The energy? Fans all vibing over something they either hadn’t seen yet or were going to see for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time…
When was the last time anyone had to line up for a movie? 🤔
I caught Thunderbolts* Thursday night, bought tickets online. Even had the option to buy popcorn and soda online and have it waiting for me when I got there.
No lines. No fan interaction. Get in, watch the movie, GTFO. Chop, chop. Re-fill those seats.

Some people are capable of distinguishing good from bad. Others are 12.

All three are games that appeal to the Doritos and Mountain Dew set.

Probably a good thing…
But is it just me, or am I the only one who really couldn’t give two shits about GTA?
I get it’s a massive franchise, like Madden or Call of Duty… don’t buy those either.

The “kill yourself” comment is ban worthy, I’d be sure to report that one at a minimum.

Wasn’t the whole existence of Giant Bomb due to similar drama?

- Comment on I need a cheap part to fix a bread machine that's under warranty. "We can send you a new machine." 5 days ago:
That and there’s no supply chain for parts, just the machines. They don’t want to pay to warehouse parts that may or may not be used.

- Comment on The smash success of "Sinners" could shift Hollywood's power balance 1 week ago:
I’ve heard a bunch of buzz about the movie, but nothing about the movie itself…
Apparently a horror movie set in the 1930s with blues music, a juke joint, and vampires.

The biggest one are the flying robots being a reference to the animated Superman cartoon from the 1940s:

So many great references in that flick to other things.
- Comment on Every. Single. Game. Ever. 1 week ago:
I’d add a variant on this:
Games where you spend hours unlocking death traps in tombs that haven’t been opened in 500 to 1,000 years only to find the mercenary opposition has already beaten you inside.
Looking at you Uncharted, Tomb Raider, etc.

I’m just gonna say, Red One is not particularly a good movie, but it is more entertaining than it has any right being.

- Comment on With a budget of $120 million, Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" grossed only $4 million on its opening weekend, making it one of the worst box office openings for a $100M+ movie to date. 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely worth watching. I can’t say I fully understood it on one watch, the time stopping ability is clearly a metaphor, but I’m not settled on what for yet.
It started with Caesar, then passed collaboratively to his wife, then their baby.
Edit I’ve been thinking about it tonight and I think I have it…
At the start, the Architect can stop time, as an architect, he has the ability to form a lasting, permanent impression on the world around him. His posterity as it were.
Through the film, he loses that level of influence, and similarly loses the ability to stop time.
When he falls in love, he regains a level of influence over his destiny, and so does she. They can stop time together, but not separately.
The film ends with their baby stopping time, as his permanent impact on the world has been transferred to a new generation. Father and mother are frozen in time as the baby moves forward.
Edit Having now seen it a 2nd time on UHD, yes, I think I had it right.
Bonus - the UHD is not avaiable in the US, but it is region free if you import it from the UK. The Blu Ray that comes with it has the bonus features and it’s region locked, but that’s a solvable problem.

- Comment on Why Did the Government Declare War on My Adorable Tiny Truck? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s right there a few paragraphs in:
“Kei trucks do not meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, or FMVSS — the highly specific rules cars US-market new cars must meet.”
They skirt this by not being new cars, you import 25 year old cars instead, but that doesn’t change the fact that they don’t meet standards.

It’s kind of like the Valve demo that’s free on the Steam Deck to go through all the features on the machine, except not as interesting.
