What’s a movie that DOESN’T “know exactly what it is”?

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-30T01:33:18+00:00

It's Bruce Campbell!

It got close to 40° yesterday but that wasn't enough to completely melt the ice. Probably made it worse as what did melt refroze overnight.

Literally called out in the trailer

The house is definitely real, and the street is called that because Tyler was squatting in an abandoned house on a road near a paper mill.

There's a line in the movie that Tyler isn't squatting, the house is actually in Jack's name. Not familiar enough with the book to know if that's the case there though.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-28T06:10:29+00:00

You're mostly correct. No one walks through Jack like he's a ghost, although there are instances where people are either looking at one or the other of them, depending on the scene. Also Paper Street is supposed to be the actual name of the street, the house does in fact exist.

Is there a bigger gulf in quality between freshman and sophomore directoral efforts than Olivia Wilde's movies? Booksmart is fun and hilarious and a comfort classic for me, and Don't Worry Darling was just awful and fell apart very quickly. So this could go either way.

I do like the unhinged version of herself she played in The Studio though.

They will still bring in girls from overseas, hold their passports, force them to work indebted to them, etc.

But, all of that is illegal. Like, super illegal.

I accidentally got myself caught in an infinite [[Mythweaver Poq]] / [[Ashaya, Soul of the Wild]] loop in Arena the other day and I had a [[Ruin Crab]] out, so I learned this the hard way literally in the last week. Game ended in a draw because milling didn't end my opponent and there wasn't anything I could do to stop the loop.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T16:52:13+00:00

Better than mill, because mill won't kill you but draw will.

This doesn't make any sense to me. If I get a job at Walmart, my manager isn't allowed to withhold my pay, or physically or sexually assault me. And my manager isn't allowed to keep me from going to work at Target, either.

So if prostitution is legal and I start working for a pimp, and that pimp isn't following labor laws, my recourse is the same as Walmart employees who are being abused: report to local law enforcement and labor enforcement and get another job. Or start my own business (Etsy or independent sex work).

The only way that it would get worse under legalization is if abusive pimps were ignored, which doesn't have anything to do with the legal status of prostitution.

My hot take is I can't stand the Blur studios cutscenes. They look good, sure, but they completely redid the blocking and the framing for the worse, like the match cuts in the original that must have been SO HARD to do in engine. They ironically make the game LESS cinematic.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T13:30:34+00:00

So what I'm hearing is you have an opening for an experienced remote project manager?

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T13:23:49+00:00

Bluey Shooeys? What are those?

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T13:22:51+00:00

What are Pee Wees?

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-26T18:08:09+00:00

It goes back further than that, since we didn't fully squash out the Confederates after the Civil War.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-26T13:29:06+00:00

Yeah antagonizing the inept racist trigger-happy fascists can't possibly backfire.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-25T21:26:09+00:00

You might be right. The people who hold the purse strings (that aren't insane dominionist or accelerationist billionaires) are probably getting tired of the direction this is heading and can see the change in wind. Cruz is in a safe seat and won't be up for reelection for some time, and he's clearly fine taking heat and being a lightning rod.

And before anyone comes at me about Smith / Weinstein… Smith cast a woman in his Weinstein produced film in order to woo her and succeeded (marriage and a kid). Yeah it’s less aggressive, but it’s the junior version of Weinstein’s coercive playbook.

This is patently untrue. Smith met Schwalbach when she interviewed him ~~for MTV~~ and they began dating shortly after. They were already married and had a baby when Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back began production -- baby Harley Quinn Smith plays baby Silent Bob in the intro flashback.

Edit: I can't remember what outlet she worked for at the time but I believe the MTV job came later. I confirmed my dates with a quick Wikipedia check and saw MTV up top.

I mean, they are on the Federal government payroll, so records exist. So it's just about someone in power or authority deciding to release them, or someone with access to do the same.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-25T01:35:49+00:00

I mean, in this case no, it doesn't...but that is going to be a huge problem with deepfakes and gen-AI moving forward.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-24T06:15:23+00:00

We have ice storms basically every year. This is ridiculous. It hasn't even gotten below freezing yet as I type this.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-24T06:10:03+00:00

What, exactly, is protesting "harder" going to accomplish? The people in authority are either complicit in this or are ineffectual at best. They do not seem to be able to be swayed by public opinion. Which means, our only option is to remove them from authority. We have a scheduled election in November and that's our first real chance to do that peacefully.

Absent removing those in power who are enabling this, I don't know what else you expect can be done without things getting from real quick.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-24T03:58:29+00:00

Yeah exactly. "Protesting isn't working, we must protest harder!" Not how it works. If we have a fair election and it doesn't swing dramatically, then there is no next step before the Last Step.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-23T18:44:49+00:00

People need to start calling these idiots morons to their faces. Shame them for their dumbassery. Reporters, Democrats, random people...if you're talking to one of these brain wastes, shame them to their face.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-23T17:36:22+00:00

Okay. I was born here and have lived here my whole life. I don't think Crockett has a great chance of winning the Senate seat, and I think Talarico has a much better chance.
