Can’t replicate living beings.

Yes, movie trailers are ads. Film at eleven.

It has one of the best final shots I’ve seen in a film since The Fabelmans. I laughed loudly at that. And honestly the rest of it was super fun. The big battle scene was a blast, and has some incredibly innovative stuff in it.

I watched the first two episodes, concluded it was even worse than the book, which was already a tropey mishmash of poor-man’s Tolkien ideas, and decided I had better things to do.

Dhis fuckeeng guy.

Boy you said it. I cannot fathom how anyone who pays even a little bit of attention and is a decent human can stomach any of this abhorrent behavior from elected officials.

So our forbears did some awful shit. Fucking deal with it, don’t try to pretend it didn’t happen.

So I had just seen Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning over the weekend, and had to laugh when the opening sequence of this one had almost the same action scene on top of a train going through a tunnel. And then also had a chase scene through narrow alleyways in a comically tiny vehicle.

Don’t get me wrong, the action sequences were well-executed, but they felt somehow a bit generic, as if you could paste them into almost any action movie without losing a beat, and those two were case in point. I did love the dynamics of the tuktuk chase, but as a focus for the characters it fell a tad short.

There are ways…

That’s great! I’ve been watching since I noticed the berries so ripe, and I actually saw a red-headed finch in the yard today for the first time in years, so hope isn’t lost.

Idunno, the pillory could get pretty brutal if the crowd was sufficiently riled up. It wasn’t uncommon for people to bring stones or bricks.

Man, I saw Dial of Destiny last night and I felt like it used its runtime well. Could’ve done without yet another train fight, and the chase sequences might’ve been cut down a bit, but the only thing that felt saggy about this movie was Harrison Ford’s skin.

They absolutely could. I don’t know if there’s a good technical solution to that. Maybe requiring IP registration or some other identity verification for mods over a certain number of communities.

While I grant that there probably are a handful of people who can mod a dozen or more smaller communities and not power trip, I think they’re probably the exception to the rule, and we shouldn’t encourage it. The more communities you mod, the higher the standards should be for community engagement.

This and The Sixth Sense are among the few movies that are better on rewatch because you know the twist but the characters don’t.

I’ve watched it a handful of times and catch something new every time.

The rate at which these features are rolling out is impressive. I made a request for a swipe to hide gesture and a few days later noticed it was already a thing. Huge kudos to the developers here! You’re doing incredible work.

Zero. That’s the really weird part.

Because it’s barely a concern in the movie. It’s little more than a Macguffin to raise the stakes. That’s honestly my biggest problem with it. They set up this compelling concept of an AI manipulating information and then the most they ever do with it is have it hijack a walkie talkie. I loved how the intelligence agencies were all switching everything to analogue, but none of that ever really makes any difference to the story at all.

He was president for four years. He ran on making the place great again (?). Why didn’t he? Golf was more important?
