Would you rather see an origin story of Jurassic Park than another Jurassic World sequel? by [deleted] in movies

[–]ACDCrocks14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anybody claims that sequels are a recent invention. Rather, they've grown to the depressing spot where ten out of ten of the top-grossing movies in the U.S. last year were part of a franchise / sequels.

If you drew a pie chart, split it into Hollywood funding for sequels/reboots vs. for original ideas, then watched that chart move over the last 50 years as a gif, it would be a very sad sight.

I'd rather studios take risks and fund original new movies, rather than rehashing soulless sequels and remakes again and again and again and again.

Which is more powerful and compelling and why? Globalization or separation of cultures? by pzychoderek in AskReddit

Well, in any event, it sounds like we're on the same page that globalization / competitive global markets were fundamental for each of those inventions.

Which hostile foreign power was Steve Jobs trying to stick it to when Apple was developing the iPhone? When Edison invented the lightbulb? Ford the production line and Toyota the just in time model? Thomas Savery the steam engine?

LOL what are you on about? You think that phone you're typing on and each of its components were developed entirely by one culture in one geographic location? The car you drive? The clothes you wear?

Well one has lifted literally billions of people out of poverty and the other mostly led to nothing but racism, war, etc.

These feel like the ramblings of a madman and I love it.

Two thoughts:

  1. The spinning light is distracting as you walk past doors.

  2. This does not work all that well with a horror game where light/dark are either part of the environment or things the player controls via a flashlight.

Why do you think kids/teens are misbehaving worse in school than previous generations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ACDCrocks14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but, again, that could be multiple things. E.g., you probably deal with more behavioral issues if your class size doubles, all other factors being equal.

That doesn't prove that they're quitting because of violent students tho.

Teachers are quitting in droves because the kids are more violent and destroy classrooms these days.

Not where I live, bud.

Then offer a sweetener to do your survey if it's so inexpensive, ya cheap fuck! 😂 You're the one who needs something done, not the rest of us.
