found the plot to be hackneyed garbage. the midpoint says exactly what's going to happen

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

This one might be mine! Peak Russell Crowe narration, the Gandalf music, Supes doing everyday things because that's the kind of guy he aspires to be, etc.
The movie itself doesn't do it for me, but the trailer still gives me chills

To be clear, Bluesky's suspensions of users who quote Charlie Kirk's words is fully inappropriate. These users aren't glorifying violence or hatred; they're clarifying who the dude was. They're reposting facts in light of the weird and dishonest whitewashing by traditional media and pundits
