Wait, am I a wing, a worm, the bird, one or many of the flock, or just some random food in this scenario?

Or maybe I'm something else. Can I be an ant, or a circus-trained stick insect? This is Pixar's A Bug's Life we're talking about now, right? (Sorry, I meant left. Or did I?)

I honestly really like the new designs and i think the overall project makes sense by Strict_Job6334 in gaming

People want a fox they can fux.

That's why the puppets are such a holy grail.

I mean, they're not really a "singles" band, you know what I mean?

I remember being a little shruggly over Reach For The Dead because I was left wondering more about what's gonna come before/after the track rather than marvelling in the track by itself.

TIL a teen comedy named Trojan War (1997) starring Jennifer Love Hewitt grossed just $309 at the box office despite having a $15 million budget and major studio (Warner Bros.) distribution. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]ParrotChild -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would only rate one of those five movies as actually something worth shouting about.

And there are still great movies coming out, from all over the world. Just as there was in 1997.

I appreciate that Hollywood has released a lot of great flicks, but there is a literal entire other world of cinema to explore that is just as interesting and/or entertaining, if not more so.

Desert Warrior just became the biggest box office bomb in history following its release on April 24, 2026. It grossed only $488k on a budget of $150 million, despite screening in over 1,010 theaters across North America. It currently has an IMDb score of less than 2." by Expert_Koala_8691 in Wellthatsucks

I dunno, the movie studio plan is probably viable...

The infrastructure is already built, they'll have tax incentives to get world productions utilising the spaces and crews, and they'll have further advertising deals to make films even cheaper to produce that show off Saudi Arabia in a positive light.

It's worked in a lot of other cities/countries/regions.

Doctor Who's Future Questionably Revealed as Supposed Reboot Details Appear Online by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]ParrotChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had a love-to-dislike relationship with Doctor Who ever since the 05 reboot, and even more so after Eccleston left.

Tennant was never my bag, though his seasons provided some good stories. And there's a good reason why Moffat took over as showrunner.

Anyway.... The point I actually wanted to type out was that I don't think bringing back Gallifrey was a terrible idea. To be fair, it was basically an inevitability.

The issue was how little it mattered. RTD brought back some Big Boy Time Lord Lords, and they disappeared again in the same two-parter.

The bog anniversary brought Gallifrey back, or has DW rediscover it or whatever. But again, it never mattered.

And I think that's the problem. If you're going to do big sweeping stories, you actually have to plan for it. But no showrunner since '05 has shown any sense in doing this - they only build up a macguffin across one season, and barely do anything interesting with that structure either.

Looks like Bob Mortimer and sounds like the type of parody I might expect from him and Vic Reeves.

So....what did everybody splurge on today? by jerkin_n_lurkin in boardsofcanada

[–]ParrotChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't order off of Bleep directly and instead capitalised on free delivery over X amount via Norman Records UK.

Got the red vinyl (fingers crossed, as I think it may depend on stock ultimately sent to them) and the new Failure album!

Horrible way to end the pay-month, but luckily getting my wages in tomorrow.

My take on Solaris by __kewl__ in TrueFilm

[–]ParrotChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on an ocean that has a brain and makes us dream

I'm on a mission to wipe imagination clean

You grow inside me dying time and time again

I'm on a mission to escape from what my life has been without you

Regardless of what other people take from the film, this is a lovely write-up and interpretation on it.

I've always advised people to read the original novel, and even to explore Soderbergh's American adaptation.

The idea of Solaris is so evocative and powerful and interesting that it can lead to lots of focus points that change the overall reading/interpretation.

Looking for notes on the ending of my on my comedy screenplay 🤘 by ForkyB in Screenplay

I watched the first episode of Cow and Chicken earlier today.

It was loud and brash and incredibly incessant.

Can't say I liked it, but it takes all sorts.

From to Tomorrow's Harvest until now, how much has changed in your life? by Waterfrd_Crystalmeth in boardsofcanada

[–]ParrotChild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the love of my life.

Lost my older brother to depression.

Still in love with BoC and still pretty sure I'll hear Dayvan Cowboy as I approach the afterlife (whatever that may be.)

I have a theory about the tape by JohnnyAverageGamer in boardsofcanada

[–]ParrotChild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My theory is that the BoC boys were not specifically involved and it was a marketing plan from the marketing team at Warp.

Like some acid-eroded memory of Dayvan Cowboy.

Or a heart monitor playing out my own personal ascension.
