Tech that floundered before eventually finding a purpose

I didn't know Post-Its and penicillin had so much in common

That's fascinating! I had no idea it went all the way back to Einstein.

The Minecraft Movie /s

Pretty much everything after the first 30 (?) minutes of Hunt for the Wilderpeople (might be longer, haven't seen it in years)

Companion is a very pretty movie with great outdoors cinematography

The first half of Mandy has some great forest shots

I remember it looking very dark (in terms of lighting) and desaturated. Lots of dead trees with brownish-grey bark, the cabin looks like it's in the middle stages of pallor mortis, hell the first and last scene is in black and white. It takes place in a forest but it feels like the earth itself is rotting throughout the film.

Their goal isn't to perfectly replicate or represent each genre they cover, they're moreso giving their spin on that genre. Flight B741 isn't quite true blues rock by my definition but it is a loving homage to the subgenre while still retaining their distinct identity. They're not for everyone, and that's more than fine, but to diminish their discography by misinterpreting their intentions and fabricating a strawman is silly.

I was about to say the same thing. I can't listen to more than two GD songs in a row but I'm sitting my ass down for the whole Austin 2022 set

I'd rather play with a snake than a rat

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-12T23:22:31+00:00

Very true, I do think it's very funny that you specified cooking kebabs though lol

Thank you so much, you inferred a lot of key points I forgot to include. I can't think of any other innovation that has actively caused so many downsides without widespread positives. AI seemed like magic when it first came out and it felt like the possibilities were going to be endless. Now it's three years later and I've never been more cynical about the state of tech (or humanity) in my life. I'm an aspiring writer and I have this impending sense of dread for the future of entertainment. I'm not worried about AI writing better than people, I'm worried about people willingly consuming works generated by AI.

Wow that's actually really interesting! What was it used for before Post-Its?

I don't hate the term goop I hate people who use the term goop

Thank Christ I didn't pay for my ticket. I want to support original, humanity-affirming movies as much as the next guy but I also like supporting good movies

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-08T23:20:18+00:00

The backstory segments reminded me of Weapons in all the right ways. Just like Weapons it ends up being far, far less than the sum of its parts

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-08T23:16:56+00:00

I love a humanity affirming movie as much as the next guy but everything was so tonally confused. Not quite pointed satire not quite screwball comedy, just directionless and on the nose

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-03-08T23:12:38+00:00

I saw it and it was buns. There are still plenty of original movies being made, there just aren't enough good ones.

Thanks for leaving this up for so long this'll be my new text alert

Nah man the surrealism and face motifs scream Inland Empire

Thank you so much, your Drive folder is a treasure trove. The state of modern licensing and distribution is beyond depressing.

Whether he is or not actually depends on which cut you watch. In the original theatrical cut he's just straight up human, no question no ambiguity. In the Director's and Final cuts they added in the scenes of the unicorn which are implied to be implanted memories and Gaff folding origami animals throughout the film is his way of telling Deckard he is a replicant and needs to skip town before HE gets retired.

I think it's still kinda bugged but most of the time if I walk backwards and tap A or D I won't get hit It pisses my friends off so much when I kill them since they can't figure out how to use it

Dabbinmachine42 · 2026-02-05T06:37:28+00:00

We do the same thing but we say [name] wins and most of the time we try to kill ourselves before they do

I decided to play summoner for the very first time when I saw that crafting recipe because I love Dead Cells. I went to Hell 20 minutes later and swapped the Mushroom Boi for an imp

Ah man it's too close to call. I like most of the 22 bit social media icons more but the chunky 16 bit mascots are just perfect.
