I mean I’m not gonna lie, it kinda works for me. (And I think she is good when actually acting, as in Crimes of the Future.)

I’m surprised the cover came as much of a shock to anyone, because that’s always sorta been the energy she gives off, right? At least since she came out and people stopped seeing her as Bella Swan. 

Only if they be pressed improperly

Physical media wins again!

The Oscars may not really mean very much but I am still over the moon that a Godzilla movie won one. Well deserved. 

I had no idea he was only 68.

Well in the book it’s tied to something else altogether which they didn’t really have time to establish here, I can see using the Atomics as a shortcut. 

I think they may get counted the same which would boost its reported sales- Blur did a trick like that to get one of their singles to #1, I believe

So it’s not a biopic of the Believe It Or Not guy?

Wasn’t Messiah written more or less at the same time? Like Herbert planned the first three books or so but “Dune” was published as it was because it made more sense as one book, etc.

Balatro is dangerous; I have lost many hours to it. Indeed I sometimes wonder if it’s not far off from the effect of real gambling, with the obvious difference that I’m not losing huge amounts of money. But then perhaps the same could be said of all gaming.

I remember him from the days when Comedy Central was all about stand-up. (When it wasn’t about MST3k and eventually reruns of Soap.)

It’s a lot likelier that a group not willing to pay money for art will also not be willing to spend money putting on a good show. 

I feel the Office opener shouldn’t have been cut, if nothing else because a pregnant Pam as Rosemary was a nice touch. 

Disc Rot doesn’t always happen, though, it’s a specific defect in the manufacturing process. 

If nothing else, I am hopeful this event will help the public associate “AI art” with low-effort shady bullshit.

Smash was just sort of doomed not to work either way. Like the first season was entertaining in spurts but it already had no idea what the fuck it wanted to do or be. You had some great songs, you had Jack Davenport, you had Meg Hilty, but then there was the rest of it. 

I’ve been hearing some criticisms of Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series saying it looks shot to be easily cropped for Tiktok clips- most shots have one thing within a fairly narrow vertical strip and the rest is empty space, not a lot of tricky angles or using the whole frame.

They’re colonizing a planet, and his job is basically “anything that has a strong chance of killing someone.” Like when they’re in flight he gets sent out to repair a reactor leak that absolutely will and does kill him, later when they land they put him in an isolation tube and expose him to the local air to see what…

Ah so we’ve gone from ad-free subscription services being the big thing, to FAST being the big thing, to getting rid of FAST and focusing on Paid ad-supported services (PAST, if you will).
