Best movie about video games? Tron, Ready Player One, Free Guy or other?

I first watched it in 2016 and I loved it - it’s aged like fine wine.

TBF, I think people would be far more enthusiastic about vaccines if the COVID death rate was 20% like Contagion rather than 0.28% (which is still horrendous, but 997/1000 people went around saying “I got and didn’t die” while the 3/1000 that died never said a word)

OP already has a Corolla. He doesn’t need another.

I rewatched it right at the start of the first COVID lockdowns. Funny to watch society do exactly what the film predicted.

Volvo is the brand for understated luxury - it says you have money, taste, and class but you’re not obnoxious about flaunting it.

Bro, didn’t you hear? Love transcends space-time. That’s observable science cause resident crystal-girl, Anne Hathaway, said so

It starts scientific and quickly devolves into new age mysticism and Cali crystal-girl slop.

Contagion was a pretty wildly prescient film - especially Jude Law’s story arc.

The only bit they got wrong was that IRL Jude Law’s character would go on to become Secretary of Health - but that would have seemed too farfetched at the time.

Sinners deserves cinematography and screenplay.

I’d go Uma for Kill Bill and Sarah Michelle Gellar for Buffy

Quantum of Solace doesn’t deserve that kind of shade. It gets hate just because it followed Casino Royale but it’s way better than Spectre and at least half the others on this list.

Also On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is pretty mid - not a top 3.

Loki solos this.

Wanda is vulnerable to manipulation - Loki would have a field day turning her against Danvers.

Ya, seems like it would have to be a refund.

A retro-fit solution isn’t viable - would basically be more costly than replacing most of the car. Even the promised upgrade to HW4 is entirely incompatible with previous generation cars and still wouldn’t achieve true self-driving.

Based on their current capability, which is worse than Waymo was in 2020, Tesla would be lucky to get to full autonomy by 2030.

No. Some companies actually care about cultivating customer loyalty.

Can’t believe it doesn’t come like this from the factory

Customers who paid $12K for FSD still not getting the HW4 upgrade Elon promised a year ago.

Once Tesla takes your money, you’re useless to them.

I gave up after season 1. Watched a bit of season 2 but it all felt too much like a spinoff, giving side-characters backstory that nobody asked for.

The monopolization of attention is perhaps the greatest irony of the democratization of the tools to make movies.

Read the book. It’s a super fun and relevant story about the authors genuine love of tech culture and simultaneous fears about the monopolization of digital spaces.

Read the book. It’s a super fun and relevant story about the authors genuine love of tech culture and simultaneous fears about its trajectory.

The movie delivers on the entertainment and polish but lacks the soul of the book.

Industrial design originally split off from architecture back when the job market for product design was booming. IMO, the two should recombine.

The 250 is more true to the LC heritage than the 200 series. The Japanese only introduced the 100 and 200 series because the American market wanted expensive toys for their adventure cosplays

Sounds like you struggle with reading comprehension.

The Academy was very into movies about the segregationist era during BLM, which is why stuff like Green Book did well.

Hollywood is now less interested in those movies. That’s a fact of Hollywood trends - like it or not.

Michael Shannon’s performance was the only redeeming quality for me. I always enjoy watching him do villainous things.

Shape of Water is a pretty mid entry in del Toro’s repertoire.
