It’s also money in it. If you build an influence brand base on racism. Those people are just digging for stuff to make content about.

You nailed it and the minecraft movie proved them right. I’m predicting now that movies will be engineered to be memeable for TikTok videoing stupid dances in the theaters not to watch the movie you paid for but to make a 6 second video for the feeds.

The problem is the short time windows in theaters and yeah it was a good movie. The fact it was a trump analog hurt it and Paterson is a great actor fuck twilight but the Batman was a great movie and the penguin is a masterpiece of television.
Black bag didn’t get any advertising. The problem is studios have trained their audience to expect slop then they put out a few good original movies for a short time window then point at it and say see audiences don’t want original films.

Hell EA is doing good now in some ways like open sourcing the command and conquer games. Maybe they got rid of their Shit executives to Ubisoft and Nintendo.

- Comment on What are the odds of a person getting poisoned by food delivery driver? How would the odds change if the person is a public figure (such as Twitch Streamers)? 4 days ago:
I kinda put it in the same category as holloween candy. Everybody thinks it’s possible and has a fear of it. But no one does it or at least there has never been a recorded case of it.
- Comment on How would I check if a movie is in the public domain? 1 week ago:
Mostly just look at the copyright date if it’s before 1929 it’s public domain in the United States. You have to look up your local laws if you are out the US. In 2026 it will be 1930 going up once a year.

Now if they could enable multi device Lan based game transfer like the steam deck has the cards wouldn’t be so bad.

- Comment on What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie? 2 weeks ago:
That’s the thing you don’t know if the rest of the world did go to shit. That’s the point of fascist take over and propaganda they put out. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

That looks awesome reminds me of a level from the game UnEpic.
- Comment on Snow White, Disney, Rachel Zegler and a toxic debate that's not going away 2 weeks ago:
It’s never going away there is a lot of money to be made on both sides. If the movie flops the studio can point to the racists and see it was them that tanked your movie. They can also point to progressives and say if you don’t watch our Comercial product your not supporting the insert minority group.
The right wing content farms have something to make content about. The left wing content farms have content based on the right wing content. Regular people just wanted a original movie that was good.
Some people don’t want minority groups to have rights and some people do and most don’t care about anything that’s not directly in front of them.

I really wish the Drafthouse would expand nation wide no commercials and disturbing people all it takes is putting up a card and they are gone. Plus $5 movie tickets.
- Comment on Cyan (Myst, Riven) to lay off 12 people, "roughly half the team" 2 weeks ago:
I saw this it’s very sad but if you have to lay off people this is the classy way to do it. Loved the call out to other studios to hire their people and tried to give them a soft landing with severence.
This is not the same as the other studios it’s not some dumbass trying to make live service games that no one wants. It’s a shame more people are wasting their time and money on live service vs rich story telling and beautiful worlds.

Yeah that is why I said business not store and yes this is very uniquely American.
- Comment on how do they decide where to put bus stops? 3 weeks ago:
Do they change the placement because a business “bribed” (i mean lobbied) for them to not to put a bus stop near them as they don’t want to see the poors near them? Yes!
- Comment on The struggle is real 3 weeks ago:
Yep i also ran my own server with a the sniper war mod. If you wanted to play that mod my server was only a handful servers setup to play it. We had a good group Randos would come in and the ones that stuck around became mods and any changes to the server. We held a vote with the regulars and the mods and myself. There were times I was even out voted and we implemented stuff I didn’t agree with.
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I agree there are some diamonds in the rough i also feel some of the TV shows should be movies the extreme serialization and the cliffhanger endings are very annoying. Especially with the long lag times between seasons it trains people say forget it I will wait till they just release the whole series then binge. But that kills the ratings and then kills the show early and so it’s left on a cliffhanger so why bother watching it at all.
Severence is a good example. I know Apple will do a season 3 but we won’t see it till 2027. But not to spoil anything but if the series stopped on that scene in episode 10. I would have been so disappointed.
It also drives me nutts how series get to be 10 episodes now. Just because game of thrones did it becase it was adapted on a book it can work well in that medium. But a regular show where each season is broken down by the writers for that season really limits any character growth and makes all the series so plot heavy.
Which is fine when you want to tell a story that is plotted out but TV Execs want to keep a show going even after that story has been told. Shows just run out of steam since there is no characters to hang on to. You look at shows like the office usa or old school star trek they told all kinds of different stories in different genres with the same characters and it kept it fresh. One bad episode didn’t ruin the whole storyline they could just try again.

Yeah I’m the same im not saying people in their 40s are all watching the garbage they put out what I’m saying is hollywood thinks only people in their 40s are watching movies and TV and we only want shit from our childhoods I guess and thus driving even more people from that medium.
- Comment on The struggle is real 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I still remember team fortress classic servers I would go back to all the time. It was nice to go into a server where everyone knew your name. It was like being a regular at a restaurant or bar.
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, why would they? Hollywood is only catering to people born in the 70s and 80s with remakes or geriatric sequels of 40 year old movies. Im right in that demographic and im sick of it. I can’t imagine how boring it would be for people that don’t have that nostalgia. Same goes for TV.
