Buddy had the nightmarish idea a while back with all the new generative ai stuff for video chat services injecting ads using the faces/voices of the participants in lieu of payment. Just, regularly-schedule ad breaks in your call where "your friend" suddenly starts talking about how excited they are about Raid: Shadow Legends
Y'know, I haven't seen it! Thanks for pointing it out, I'll have to give it a go this year
300 - the actor who is kicked into the pit
A few years ago I did a kick of watching all of the Christmas Carols that have been made since film started. It really was my favorite of them all. Would recommend watching the others, though. There were no bad takes in my experience
Yeah youse just gotta tie a string to the pin so's it's safe to remove
Heck, I was salty when the old site added avatars. I already ignored names and was weirded out by "popular redditors" culture before avatars, and it was annoying to see a logo next to a name coloring my perception of the comment. I'm here to read comments, not to look at avatars
Heh, there's one built into VLC, hard recommend
Well, back in the day cigarette companies paid to be in the movies. This timeline puts it back to the very first "talkies" cigarette companies were already shouldering their way in and making sure that they were associated with sex and cool. Everyone was smoking on screen because films were big tobacco ads.
You know this episode I was surprised we turned a pilot into tang for trying to stop someone from piloting a Gundam instead of having to emotionally blackmail a pilot into piloting the Gundam. Real inversion of expectations for the genre
It was dark. I was expecting cartoon fun. I watched an animated shoe get executed.
I had a good laugh. You've got me there, it does get really quite brutal.
Honestly, I think the gumshoe is the protagonist and noir is the genre, and I think Hoskins nails it in that context: a hard-boiled 40s private eye struggling with the weighty awfulness of the world, in a world whose weighty awfulness happens to be the result of getting mixed up with cartoons. But yeah, if you're expecting a muppets comedy instead of film noir, it's a hard rugpull.
It's definitely a film where, in hindsight, I still go "they rated that PG? That should've been PG-13 easy"
Oh damn I do the strawberry kefir (the drinkable yogurt) but haven't tried the vanilla, I'll have to give it a swig for sure
I fell asleep during:
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Guardians of the Galaxy 2
- Dune
- Dune 2
Though for Dune I was already of the opinion that the book was a dogshit plot set in an interesting universe, so I was already biased.
Oh damn I think this is the only film where I'm like "Damn, you didn't enjoy that?"
But hey, that's why they make vanilla and chocolate, right?
The groan I emitted in-theatre at the "but what about the power of love?" line is brought up whenever this movie is mentioned among the group with whom I watched it
Ayy, recently rewatched that too. Personal headcannon: a better ending would have been a montage of Eva teaching an amnesiac Wall-E all the things he taught her and have him fall in love with those things and her again in the process. Probably more drawn out than "random electric spark magically resets memory" though
Scheiß
Ich habe keine Ahnung
I'll bite: I powered on my computer. My bios started which started my init process, which started my daemons, which started my login manager (maybe slim), which started my DE (maybe gnome), which I use to go to my browser in order to watch other people stream video games.
I'm dicey on what the browser is being used for - maybe security software? - but I feel like it's plausible.
Not to mention the vast majority of Seinfeld
Lmao, I love the idea of adjusting the chart for obesity by subtracting men's breast sizes from women's
Pater tuus est?
