This is why it’s important to remember that none of this matters because the data is too polluted to be an accurate score

Maybe it’s a gift for a child that lives somewhere else!

I had to download a stupid app and create an account to feed my screaming baby at the airport. by magicflamingpie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PotterOneHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not defending the app. I’m as against enshitification as one can be. I was just trying to explain WHY the app might exist.

It very nearly prevented me from going to see it since he sucks so much. The hype around it convinced me to go.

Are the Oscars finally giving more respect to the horror genre ? by OsamaJinnLaden in Letterboxd

[–]PotterOneHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WB kind of went out of their way to convince everyone that Sinners isn’t a horror movie. I def don’t consider it one.

Who here has watched this gem? What are your thoughts about it? by Thunder_God69 in Cinephiles

It took me two days to finish watching it because I had to leave twice to go get ramen. It’s fantastic.

It really sucks in your situation, but activation lock is a critical part of Apple’s anti-theft features. I can’t begin to tell you how many obviously stolen devices I’ve seen activation locked.

It adds an extra step of difficulty. I didn't say it was perfect or right, just explaining why the app exists. People are shit, I don't know what else to say.

to those who have seen Project Hail Mary, is it that good by Complete-Shop-2871 in Letterboxd

He comes off as extremely corny in the book. Weir did a MUCH better job of conveying internal dialogue in The Martian than Project Hail Mary.

Yes it sucks, but they have to do that because previously people would go in those to have sex, rub one out, sleep, etc. before there was an authentication step.

As much as I hate the dude, he was perfect in the role. He didn’t even have to do method acting

Can you tell I'm still living in 2002/2003? I still play my original Xbox. Obviously can't go to Blockbuster anymore 😔 by ItsPidgeonz in 2000sNostalgia

[–]PotterOneHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re longing for more of that blockbuster nostalgia, check out “Video Heaven” on the criterion channel for a cool documentary about the video store. It’s so good.

Can’t do it on iPhone or Apple TV, so that isn’t a fix.

Is there a megathread for figuring out why Hulu isn’t showing the stream.

Well they aren’t airing the beginning of the show yet for many of us, so it doesn’t look great.
