Of all the movies I like this has got to be the least quotable
Game looks fun, design looks good, but they had nothing to work with as far as quotes from the movie

I wish the accelerationists who've been saying for years things need to get shitty would fight with the people saying Dems are bad for not saving us today would fight but they're the same people.

Also zero elected Dems have said people need to touch the stove, rather they've tried to minimize the damage at every opportunity.
As usual people are projecting online feuds out onto elected officials their feeds tell them to hate.

It's pretty rich for accelerationists to complain about Dems trying to prevent a disaster and failing.

"I don't want to know about the bad stuff I accept along with the good" is functionally identical to "I want the world to be safe for abusers and bigots"

Yeah others share the attitude but the algorithms and influencers boosted a specific demographic. Numerically there are way more people like your dad. He just doesn't have clout like a spoilt 31 year old in Brooklyn who misses dinner parties and cocktail hours.

I put it on influencers/large follower accounts for not being more responsible. You should have a more refined and disciplined sense of media literacy if you have a following imo.

There was an age band of people who didn't have kids or high-risk parents. These people were/are extremely online and have never shut up about all the great stuff they had to give up "for no reason".

People wanted to hear "if we do a 2 week lockdown I'll never have to get Covid" so that's what they heard, and a bunch of liars jumped in to pretend that was promised by officials.
"We'll all get it eventually" just did not penetrate public consciousness.

Saw someone blaming Dem party for Platner being a shitty candidate and it's like, what mechanisms of control are you imagining? Party begs good candidates to run and nobody does.

Too many people now aggressively strip context away. Celebrating their ignorance about the world when something was made, evaluating as if it sprung into being 5 minutes ago.

I think the only course that's slightly stable is "USA backstops Israel's defense" i.e. we transfer no more weapons with any possible offensive use. Should we have moved to this position 20 years ago? Maybe yes but I'm not gonna pretend it's an easy question.

Bad faith weaponization of bad polls has broken me on this. Yes, people prefer zero deaths in Palestine in the abstract. No, people would not be happy if we severed relationship with Israel. Pretending otherwise is lying.

If they'd used AI to cut the cost of a normal ad by 50% it would probably be OK. Trying to get 80% of the results for 10% of the budget is insane.
AI should be able to make moving backgrounds and extras. Plug your actual footage into that if you have to go that route.

40-something film snobs of today actively blocking out how hard it was to watch kung fu movies in the 80s
30-somethings ignorant of the world before bootleg downloads
And that's just watching the originals let alone making a watchable pastiche
