Robots are everywhere, and they eat old peoples’ medicine for fuel.

And yet, HBO Max’s Station Eleven has great reviews and is much closer to the ACTUAL pandemic in terms of a flu-like virus causing everyone to go into isolation (before wiping out humanity), rather than a mysterious instantaneous event killing all cis men.

Glove released an album in 2020 that was pretty well received.

It’s funny cause moments that are played for laughs in Walk Hard aren’t even done that much more over the top than they were in Walk the Line...I think they’re just done more frequently to land the bit more. But the ripped sinks, the “WRONG KID DIED!” and the “REMEMBER - YOU’LL NEVER MAKE IT!” and the “you don’t want…

I saw Bohemian Rhapsody (in theaters no less) and it had way less wrong kids dyin’ and wives sayin’ YOULL NEVER MAKE IT and sinks bein’ ripped out of walls.

I recently watched Walk Hard for the first time, and then later tried to watch Walk the Line for the first time, and was really thrown by how similar they were. I know Walk Hard was a parody of Walk the Line and biopics in general, but was surprised by how closely it hewed to the beats of WTL, and I couldn’t tell if I…

It actually does have, if not an overtly sexual element to it, at least a romanticized one. I think it’s more akin to “no fat chicks” than “no small boobs” myself, but still, I think it’s a growing issue that doesn’t get discussed too much.

I love all Portishead albums, but none hit quite like Third, and I mean that in a visceral, musical sense.

Well cool, this is terrifying.

I wonder if all the hexagon profile pics on twitter will just turn into broken jpeg icons.

Wow what the hell is going on at the Root.

The MCU is doing the same thing. Love or hate the beginnings, it at least took risks to develop a shared universe over time.

It is indeed, very dumb! Additionally, I haven’t seen anything so far that ties anything other than a URL to a blockchain link, which then directs you to a jpeg or document or whatever. So it’s only as good and long-lasting as the URL it’s tied to right? While the blockchain is theoretically forever, the URL links…

I mean, that’s the thing isn’t it? You already CAN own colors, you don’t need some dumbass blockchain to do it.

Unfortunately it usually takes a lot of public shaming and dragging for them to do this. If you try to do it through normal channels without blowing up their spot (as many artists have resorted to doing) it’s apparently extremely prohibitive to get them to work with you.

“NFTs are good for artists!” crowd is suspiciously silent as art thieves mine DeviantArt and social media accounts for artwork to steal, causing tons of artists to make their social accounts private or shut them down completely just to stem the wave of thievery.

About as delusional as the guy who wants to mint NFT colors (so you “own” the color) or the guy who wanted to mint every song in existence as an NFT (despite not owning any of the rights to any of the songs), or the guys who spent millions on a copy of one of Jodorowsky’s Dune books thinking it gave them the rights to…

What keeps anyone from “minting” an NFT of a copyrighted work? Theoretically, copyright laws and the threat of lawsuits. Or DMCA takedowns.

I feel like you’re right on both counts.

It’s weird that they didn’t limit it to movies that came out this year...
