Kamala Harris lost every swing state AND the Senate. We live in the same country we did 4 years ago, we live in the same country that elected Barrack Obama twice.

People are paying 50% more for bread, eggs, and rent, with no relief given, no corporate greed stiffled BEFORE it hit average Americans in the face, and just kept hitting them. The average American doesn’t care about economic numbers, they care about whether or not they can pay the rent.

Trump isn’t going to make any of this better, he’s going to make it ordinates worse. People vote for change, when faced with the inevitability of suffering they’ll vote for different, come what may.

Whenever they say “the studio mitigated it’s losses”, that just means they sold the rights to others who then lost money because the movie bombed, it’s not like the studio conjured it out of thin air, and all the foreign rights deals are with partner companies the studio will be looking to sell other rights to other movies to in the future, won’t those rights partners look for a discount after taking the rights to failures and finding them less than worthless, lots of moving parts

I for one have never liked Josh Gad, never found him witty, never found him funny, whenever I’m watching a production with Josh Gad in it the entire production becomes middling in my estimation. I do not like Josh Gad, and I’m surprised he’s still a thing.

See, the problem with publicly traded corporations is, they’ve got to constantly not only be making as much money this year as they did the previous year, but they’ve got to increase shareholder value, which means, raising prices, or reducing the product to save costs, we have termed that last bit enshitification. I mean, they don’t HAVE to, but if they choose not to, the board of directors will push for a change in CSUITE personnel, and those fuckers are raking in the big bucks, and really really like their 3rd vacation homes in Aspen, so you pay more, or you get less, and sometimes you pay more AND you get less. And the beat goes on.

This is sad news, but not totally unexpected, at least by me. The first season had the dual storylines of young Catherine and older Catherine which really gave it some depth, and it was far grander of a scale. Samantha Morton is fine, but what really grabbed my attention was Liv Hill who played Young Catherine was captivating, and her storyline was a lot more exciting. The Second season while good, was not great, and suffered from being almost claustrophobic in it’s portrayal of the French court. This spinoff with Minnie Driver as Elizabeth could be fun, but she’s playing it waaaay over the top, so we’ll just have to see what they give us. Bonus for all the stars getting paid for a third season without having to do any of the work.

“why can’t they just make it good”

well, as it turns out, good, truly good and griping, is hard.

when you have the stars who can carry just about anything, quality can slip a bit, but when you don’t, and it’s been proven the stars you’re using, aren’t compelling personalities, for whatever reason, and don’t have the draw themselves, good becomes paramount. and because the mcu is built around intertwined narratives which are almost completely dependent on characters, when the characters themselves aren’t working (mackie, larson, et all) and the narrative itself is far past being played out, you’re sorta up a creek.

agreed on all points, i dig it, it’s got a bit more bite and sass to it than most canadian shows i’ve sampled, and i found myself looking forward to each new weeks episode. also liked jus reigns Late Bloomer, and am looking forward to it’s second season too.

kris kristofferson just died too today, the last time there was a slate of dozens of celebrities that all died in the same year like this was 2016, and we know what happened that november, so, it doesn’t look good for the fate of the united states, and the rest of the world. buy canned food, plant vegetables.

Fan service used to be a wink and a nod, which was fun, now it’s an entire industry, which is so not fun.

The snake doesn’t eat it’s own tail, it cuts it off, sells, it and grows the same fucking tail again, then sells it again, ad infinitum.

Movies that have no utility except to make money from fan bases who can’t say no, and Television so bloated with callback and fluff, stuffed into season shortened to 6 -8 episodes, the object of the story is lost.

South Florida has entered the chat

yes, they are. it’s been reported so many time, it’s like continuing to ask if narwhals are real.

this is such a great movie, it was like a found jewel when i watched it to the first time it came to hbo, it gets a yearly rewatch. tilda swinton’s gabriel literally one of the coolest movie character portrayals i’d ever seen in my life. keanu, weiss, leboeff, rosdale, honsou, stormare jfc this move was packed. like i said, this is on my repeat list. such a great flick.

Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings was great for what they were, 3 movies but done well with thought, The Hobbit movies were purposefully elongated drawn out enshitified trash, Rings of Power is enshitified trash. Star Wars prequels and sequels were enshitified trash. All Hollywood is doing at this point is holding fans upside down to see how much money falls out of us, then they do it again. Blech.

After Horizon 1 tanked at the Box Office, I was expecting a hot piece of unwatchable garbage, but was pleasantly surprised with an old school Western epic I thoroughly enjoyed. I like Costner when he keeps it simple, and gets it right. I loved Dances with Wolves, but found Waterworld and The Postman to be cookie cutter Dances rip offs.

I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like Costner as a person to hang out with, but Horizon was really good, and I hope it goes directly to streaming soon. I also hope he gets to make H3 and H4, but that seems doubtful now.

this dude is so pissed off at this show for all the right reasons, when you read it you can hear his little nerd brain go squeeeeeze, hahahahaha. i hate rings of power so much.
