Anybody who believes for even one second that ChatGPT can replace a scriptwriter knows nothing about writing at all and their opinion should be automatically discarded as irrelevant...

I’ve started collecting vinyl, I’m not exactly an “audiophile” but definitely the nostalgia factor, as well as the collectible nature. There’s no reason physical video media can’t try to take advantage of that.

“Reactions” sounds more than a little like “paid social media marketing”. While it’s still early, actual “reviews” thus far are not great.

And vinyls were dead and buried for 20 years, and now they are back in the mainstream.

I think the Irish Times review is probably the most accurate in terms of not pandering.

While I’m confident it will be a fun movie, and possibly the second or third best Indiana Jones movie, when I read a Twitter review from some dude calling it “Not just another Indy film, it’s one of the best movies ever!”, my bullshit detector immediately goes off.

Hi, Disney.

Chappie?!

10% more Futurama than the leading brand.

Goddamn. You can’t keep this show down, not through two cancellations and three movies. I’m stoked.
