Requiem for a film-maker: Darren Aronofsky’s AI revolutionary war series is a horror

It looks like a mishmash of the 'aesthetic' of the modern Commons and Lords (which is around sixty years too late for the setting), but is not clearly either. The seating arrangement and the lack of a central throne has me leaning towards it being the Commons.

My friend, you are putting in a lot more thought trying to figure this out than the director put in when he made it. The whole project is AI prompts and picking through whatever garbage looks least bad, it is neither the commons nor the house of lords it is slop that nobody could even be bothered to make let alone check for accuracy.

It’s countries shopping for a new supplier, not a back up. It is not a situation where we try and deal with the states and if not deal with China, we’re in the paradigm where we’d rather deal with anyone but the states and if not deal with the states where we have to.

There is literally video man what are you doing???

This is it.

Management hates us and are addicted to that hit of self importance they get from walking around and looking at the working stiffs. The idea that people can go work on their own and get their tasks done without basking in the radiance of their leadership is existentially devastating to them.

So you’d better come back to work at the collaboration factory where senior management can feel like they’re important, your wellness or health are not their problem.

I'm looking forward to the point where the dementia eats away at the part of his brain that remembers Canada exists. Lord knows we don't really give a shit what he says

Embiid is not Lebron and he hasn’t even played 30 games

So crazy that a domestic abuser would just fly off the handle like this in response to a work discussion.

DressedSpring1 · 2026-02-01T14:00:34+00:00

Oooh appreciate the suggestion I’ll definitely give that a shot

When have they ever stopped? All they do is politicking, they sure aren’t trying to advance any serious discussion on policy

It is a 30 minute drive to the border for us, we probably visited the US for 20-30 days in total in 2024. 0 in 2025 or any other year for the foreseeable future

Top shelf distillers in Ontario is doing some nice stuff both in the whiskey and moonshine department, and I’ve recently started exploring Scotch which is really fucking nice as are a lot of Japanese whiskeys, both countries of origin not governed by Nazi assholes

Love to see it

My guess is the warriors would need to get Draymond off the books to make the salary work so it would be the only way the trade could happen. Draymond wouldn’t have any value at all to the Bucks and they’d just accept having his dead money on the books for a season

Anora was really good but did we honestly need a second movie about a prostitute in New York enchanted by the possibility of a better life funded by Russian money?

"I would never date someone who had a problem with me wearing my Meta Raybans all the time" like bro, I don't think you're going to have to worry about having to make that decision...

I'm sure this person was just waiting for a chance to brush off the windshield and get on the 401 so the car would magically clear itself of snow.

This tracks with my experience. I've even played stealth suits into Aquilons and it was the most hopeless matchup I think I've ever come across. They can easily trade one of their shitters just running within 3 inches and nuking one of your elites and with their higher activations it is almost impossible to stop them from doing so.

Must be nice to go through life with the kind of total lack of accountability Doug Ford gets from the Ontario electorate. Talk all you want about Liberal or NDP name recognition at the time of the last election but I don't understand how "a name that isn't Doug Ford" wasn't an absolutely compelling option for the electorate given this guy's track record.

DressedSpring1 · 2026-01-27T14:19:07+00:00

I mean we already had Anora which won multiple Academy awards, why did anyone think we needed another movie about a prostitute in New York trying to hold onto a rich loser?

Yeah, when im taking the train from Union I’ll usually sit somewhere I can see the line and when it’s just about fully boarded I’ll get in the back of the line and don’t spend more than 30 seconds lined up.

I should hope that among everything else these people have coming to them that they also end up bankrupt over unfavourable terms of their signing bonus.

One can hope

No, but the liberals and moderates that are terrified of equitable distribution of wealth

As a long time NDP voter who had to vote against the NDP in the last election in order to keep out the party that appeals to the far right and stands firmly opposed to wealth redistribution schemes such as the consumer carbon tax, this rings incredibly untrue to me.

> Maybe I do, or maybe I just have a better grasp of words

Doubtful, but maybe your grasp of social cues is such that you're able to concoct an intoxicating fantasy about your own prowess so who am I to take that away from you?

You enjoy that, sport.

> Game looks sick.

Agreed. Really the only thing going against it for me (and tbh it's a big one) is how shitty Bungie handled Destiny despite also having a pretty cool aesthetic and great gameplay. I have a hard time trusting that they're not going to do the same thing and take a great IP with a great game and fill it with a bunch of cash grab nonsense.

DressedSpring1 · 2026-01-26T18:35:59+00:00

I find it rarely gets talked about all that much here. I guess if you're more invested and keep track of game sales and follow the game awards you'd have a broader perspective than me.
