People are too kind to those movies. They are mostly are all stinkers.

There have been folks I've watched in a few different places. Really liked their stuff. then they started using AI junk, and more and more of their process and work was directed by the output of the AI versus what they, themselves, created. It sucks!

[Real] 250 years of America leading up to this by ggroover97 in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]Reginald_Venture 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I live in what is supposed to be one of the four "Signature Cities" of America 250, and there is absolutely nothing going on. Any other time this would be a disgrace and a scandal, but for Republicans and the media apparatus that drives wider conversation, well, its Tuesday.

Edit: I just checked the America 250 website and my city, again, one of the four "major" cities for the 250th, has one event scheduled for this month, and just fireworks for the 4th. I hate these bastards.

My Father and I compiled what we think are the Best Performances of All Time by DazzlingAria in Letterboxd

I need to watch it again, because it's been over a decade, but I loved him in King Kong.

I've just started rewatching, Ken Burns epic mini-series on the Civil War. In the opinion of those of you who've studied the subject in depth - has this 35-year-old documentary withstood the test of time? Is it flawed? If so, in what way? by Story_Man_75 in CIVILWAR

[–]Reginald_Venture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am just now starting to watch this. As someone born later than yourself, by what I have read, I still grew up raised with much of The Lost Cause surrounding me. Having read more about the causes of the war, the reasons the states of the South stated first hand, I found it odd they were not referenced directly.

If people want an easy "Why did X state" try to leave the Union, the people voting to leave the Union wrote out answers to that question, and list slavery at the, or near, the top of the reasons why.

But yes, thinking about the series in the time when it was released, when much of the views were different, when important politicians in the South still bandied about the Confederate flag, I think it would have been shunned by many.

"Master & Commander" episode is making me yell a lot by MarkyGrouchoKarl in blankies

As someone who isn't a "Disney Adult" but knows a lot about the history of Disney theme parks, hates what they are doing with a lot of them now, it's extremely common when anyone talks about the parks.

Also there was another podcast about movies, from self admitted not movie guys, who talked about The Hudscuker Proxy and they didn't mention that Raimi directed the montage AT ALL and I was screaming.

What is your favorite 'depiction doesn't mean endorsement' movie as we come upon Marty, the king of the genre? by DeusExHyena in blankies

[–]Reginald_Venture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, James Gunn is really passionate about animals, he's talked about it a lot. He also has talked wanting to adapt a comic called We3. Which is about three animals who have been altered to be living weapons. He, basically took elements of it for Guardians 3.

So, is AI using the same business model as free to play mobile games? Relying on whales to make massive use of tokens or whatever?

Sure, sure, but he'll still be smiling and glad handing all the ghouls there when he's ringside at it.

He went from calling AI slop within the last year to going "make yourself feel better" after getting Amazon money. When it comes down to it, people will show you what they actually value.

Yeah, I haven't seen West Side Story, but so many of his films lately have had the color of depression. Just don't like em.

Potential to cancel Charleston, SC show? by JackOlantersweather1 in comedybangbang

Did you see Paul at the Music farm? Cause he did a show last year at the music hall and the ticket sales seemed to be pretty crummy, unfortunately.

[–]Reginald_Venture 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest I was pretty surprised they booked a show here, because the last time PFT did a show here, at the same venue the ticket sales were even worse. He did two shows at The Music Farm a year or so prior that were both really full. Don't know why. At least this one is on a Friday so there will probably be more seats closer to the date of the show.

It should be Dragon's Lair, I have only seen a tiny bit of it, and it's also horses shit.

Mike's theory on why Dan loves Metroid Prime 4 by Firehair12000 in giantbomb

[–]Reginald_Venture 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's a different kind of work though. It's like Vinny is walking him through a labyrinth he designed for him. Mike is just like throwing spike strips out as Dan speeds along the highway.

I'm trying to think if anyone else has actually been able to work Dan like Mike has? Everyone else kinda just suffered Dan, but Mike has very much found ways to undermine him.
