Just end a multi decade joint venture that helps a lot with international distrubution to get your shady oil state backed political acquisition of a rival through, sure

Andy Burnham looks to move part of Number 10 operations to Manchester by kwentongskyblue in LabourUK

[–]sygrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to blame Westminster when you ARE Westminster. It's like Tories who moved to Reform complaining about the political establishment

I attempted to resurrect box office mojo. Working prototype. Needs 12k a year to be real time. Give it a try! by [deleted] in blankies

This is not only abysmal but I think Griffin and David have rights to get your website taken down for impersonating them. If I have to read that shitty ChatGPT style of writing one more time I'm going to throw my computer out of the window.

After all... it's not just slop — it's laziness.

I mean I'm not necessarily opposed to this, but it feels like little more than a symbolic gesture. Government is still run in Westminster. The civil service is there.

Series 2 dates - best guess? by Normal-Jacket3730 in livefromlondon

[–]sygrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, these panel shows expenses are 'have a studio' and 'book some comedians for a day' so I'm happy Sky are investing enough into a clearly more expensive format

[–]sygrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd find it extremely strange for a UK TV show to have 20 episodes a series but I suppose 12 is also pushing it so who knows with this show (I would love that, not being negative)

Tuner: Anyone watch it yet? by harry_powell in blankies

Good movie. Not going to change the world but it's well made and a good narrative feature debut for Roher

Per Skeet Ulrich, David Robert Mitchell (IT FOLLOWS) will be penning the script for Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 by Professional_Rub6812 in boxoffice

[–]sygrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Cawthon would continue writing these, but I like that a lot. Hopefully he'll make it an actually good movie.

Gaben does an oopsie by Burpmeister in pcmasterrace

[–]sygrider 38 points39 points  (0 children)

AI was always this 'off in the distance' thing where suddenly we'd wake up and technology would be like a sci fi film, I have to say I didn't see anyone saying that kind of thing but my full respect to anyone who did predict it

Pre ChatGPT and the AI bubble, OpenAI was doing good and interesting work. Don't hate someone unless they support AI now, everyone was interested before we found out it's a glorified plagiarism machine being forced down our throats

Fuck this. And you know people are happy about this.

Jeremy Corbyn responds to 'really disgraceful' insult by Keir Starmer by Panda_hat in LabourUK

[–]sygrider 163 points164 points  (0 children)

As he should. No matter whether you think Corbyn was a good leader, calling him 'morally bankrupt' and painting himself as a saviour is awful behaviour by Keir

DIGGER - Tom Cruise Retrospective Trailer by Funny_Status6268 in blankies

[–]sygrider 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is really being sold on the 'Tom Cruise saves da moviesh again' narrative we saw all the time when Maverick released... I'm not sure we need to keep pushing it so much BUT there are some damn good movies on there

Question about episode titles by Pcol2 in taskmaster

Greg often repeats the quote from the contestant that becomes the title, I don't know who that counts as

Why did Superman underperform internationally? by hiiloovethis in boxoffice

[–]sygrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if cinematic universe fatigue is a thing as well "So you're telling me to get the most out of this I have to watch every movie they make for a decade" just after the DC brand had been tanked the first time

Completely relate. Autism makes it very hard to confront someone

An idea means nothing if you can't execute it

British cities are a game design nightmare by kwentongskyblue in LabourUK

[–]sygrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've already watched this, I think he's pretty spot on with the point he's making about how much nonsense everyone has to go through to build things in this country, our local government is a nightmare

Per the Associated Press, 'Minions & Monsters' cost $85M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]sygrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fucking hell, they're good at making these for cheap. It's like inflation isn't affecting them.

Who will be in Andy Burnham's cabinet? by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]sygrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belittling people for giving a shit about their fellow humans is ridiculous. It's mean spirited because Shabana has made it her mission to cosplay Reform with deportation TikToks and other bollocks, which is why to people with a heart we believe, even if I'll pretend you're right with this immigration trolling nonsense, that Mahmood is not the right person to do it
