Don’t revise my revisionism.
- Comment on VO3 is extremely fucking scary. 4 weeks ago:
You can either be a “who” or a “what”, if the movies are made more by "what"s than "who"s they’ll stop being made for "who"s and only "what"s.

Its incredibly good.
-
A chunk of the episodes in the two seasons are practically dead air.
I’m still flip flopping on whether the slow pacing of some of the episodes was intentional (whether to try to build suspense or to hammer home Lenin quote “there are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen”) or some wonkyness with trying to figure out the proper ‘fit’ of story and dialogue in an episode.

- Comment on VO3 is extremely fucking scary. 4 weeks ago:
Some years ago, kiddies perusing the soft toy aisle received a lesson in discerning the abstract from the concrete. Someone had methodically removed teddy bears’ fluffy innards, replacing the stuffing with hardened cement. Affixed to the concrete bears was the following label:
Unfortunate child, do not mistake me for a living thing, nor seek in me the warmth denied you by your parents. For beneath my plush surface lies a hardness as impervious and unforgiving as this World’s own indifference to your mortal struggle. Hold on to me when you are sad, and I will weigh you down, but bear this weight throughout your years, and it will strengthen your limbs and harden your will so that one day no man dare oppose you.
The manufacturer listed on the bears’ tags was Brutal Truth Toys.
Something about your comment made me remember the Cacophony Society and the concrete teddybear

Yeah.
Pacing of episodes can be pretty slow, though.

Probably not a good idea to phrase it as “earned” retractions.
It shouldn’t be a competition to see who is the worst.

Nope, reminding a person that nurses can be any gender other than “Woman” seems like a pretty cool and good thing to do.
Don’t even need slurs to do it.

I mean, I’ll eventually watch this because I’m a little piggy that loves their slop but at no point in the last 24 years have I thought to myself, “I need to see another goth revenge fantasy version of the previous four goth revenge fantasy movies.”
I’m sure the cinematography is on point and the actors did their job of being actors, the bare minimum. It’s just… where can you go with this franchise? First movie was good, the next three were the same story with a different color pallet.
Not sure who was excited about either a retread of the original or a fifth movie.
Shit… I talked myself into wanting to watch this. Did this get made for zoomers? Will this be a zoomer Rosetta Stone for us aging millenials?
- Comment on The Crow reboot producer is surprised the original filmmakers aren't more accepting of the new movie 9 months ago:
brand-new reboot
Wait… was there a previous reboot? Outside of the “The Crow: The TV Series” that I stopped watching after a few episodes… I thought I had seen all the movies. Was there a previous reboot that I missed?
seek merciless revenge… to put the wrong things right
You get one or the other, you don’t get both in a, The Crow, movie.

Bill Skarsgård not happy with The Crow’s ending
Bill Skarsgård has expressed unhappiness with how The Crow ends, suggesting it may be leaving the opportunity for a sequel.
There we go…
- Comment on They encouraged us to insulate our home. Now it’s unmortgageable 10 months ago:
Spray foam is still legal, so there is no way to gain compensation, and the industry is not regulated – neither the installation nor the removal – so choices are open to abuse by companies supplying these services.”
Homeowners say they were misled by the government, which exempted the insulation from VAT to promote uptake, as well as issuing grants worth up to two thirds of the installation costs. They feel this suggested the insulation was being endorsed.
Sounds like a “well there’s your problem” situation.

Much easier to assume the training data isn’t garbage when the AI expert system only has a narrow scope, right?
- Comment on Breast Cancer 10 months ago:
Doctor: There seems to be something wrong with the image.
Technician: What’s the problem?
Doctor: The patient only has two breasts, but the image that came back from the AI machine shows them having six breasts and much MUCH larger breasts than the patient actually has.
Technician: sighs

- Comment on The Pack 1 year ago:
Family groups. Kids old enough to hunt but not old enough to strike off on their own.
A single wolf may be able to kill a moose but a pack can definitely kill a moose. A single wolf might have to limit themselves to smaller moose while a pack can successfully take on a larger moose. A pack might have an easier time separating a single moose from the rest of the …
mooses?…meece?…moose herd.
