If your analog control requires your entire hand, it’s interesting.

If your analog control requires several pointing fingers, it’s interesting.

If your analog control requires your thumbs, it’s shit.

Now get the fuck out of my office!

When he’s the one paying for it.

“I hadn’t met him before. I’m saying, ‘What’s it gonna be like?’ because he was also a producer of the show, big fan of the original, working on it for 10 years."

This is going to absolutely wreck Temu, SHEIN, aliexpress and an a gaggle of Amazon sellers.

Still unemployed here, applying for jobs that I’m well-qualified for, being rejected without an interview and watching those listing reappear on job sites on a weekly basis.

I saw a late screening of it as it made its way through the festival cricuit this summer. I fell asleep within the first few minutes and woke up as it was wrapping up. I still wonder if I was snoring.

On the bright side, all these companies walking away from DEI policies make the Corporate Equity Index’s lists a lot more useful for folks who want to vote with their wallet.

For a while it felt like having a company’s name on the list was perfunctory, which makes it unremarkable.

Doing the right thing before/after it being popular is remarkable, and worthy of my patronage.

Finally, a self-driving car with actual intelligence.

Trotting out a bunch of nay-saying critics was already of fairly questionable taste to begin with. Having them be made up is just plain hilarious.

Also, the narration was pretty odd. I wonder if this was even intended to be released at all.

Old school Darkwing Duck fans really owe it to themselves to check out the most recent Duck Tales animated series. It is very much made with the folks who grew up with the 1990s Disney Afternoon in mind, with many out-of-canon cameos that will make you smile and an outstanding voice cast (lead by David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck).

It’s also very clear that the creators were begging to make a Darkwing Duck reboot all along, but Disney wouldn’t let them, so they just crammed him into the show anyway.

I’m just bummed for Tig Notaro.

Shyamalan has been all about self-parody since Lady in the Water (after stumbling into it in The Village).

Critics really think he’s striving for more and landing on being ridiculous, but I’ve just accepted that this is what he does. This is him doing what he does.

I can find satisfaction in that. I know what I’m setting myself up for when I watch one of his films now; nothing more.

Thanos was introduced in a post credits scene after the first Avengers film (2012), a solid 6 years prior to Infinity War. Marvel takes their time. And with good reason; extra time to vet folks and change course if needed.

Done!

This is a FANTASTIC idea. I’m uploading it now.

I’ve got copies of both the US and Australian broadcasts. I’m in the process of building a synchronized side-by-side video showing what each broadcaster put out.

I’d love to share it if I could convince YouTube’s bots that it’s not a copyright violation.

And if there’s a PeerTube instance out there that won’t mind me uploading it there, I’m happy to share it with you.

Update: I uploaded this to the Internet Archive today: https://archive.org/details/olympic-blue-man-4

Do you have any additional info on this Hetzner problem/fix, or perhaps a link to the admin community or discussion thread where they were discussing it?

I’d like to be able to point my instance’s admin there (as we’re seeing the same problem on both lemmy.blahaj.org and beehaw.org).

Thanks!

JFC, more of this?

Cinerama was purchased by SIFF (now dreadfully renamed “SIFF Cinema Downtown”), which is basically a local chain now (along with SIFF Cinema Uptown, SIFF Cinema Egyptian and the SIFF Film Center).

As for true independents around here, you’ve got the Grand Illusion, the Beacon, the Ark Lodge, Northwest Film Forum and, of course, the Majestic Bay up in Ballard.

It depends.

I’m in Seattle, which you would expect to be a pretty popular spot for independently run cinemas, but my local (a 4-auditorium theater) is teetering on the edge of closing due to high rent and low attendance. I saw Inside Out 2 there on a weekend evening and the entire house only had only about a dozen people in it.

Meanwhile, a few blocks down the street, a tiny independent cinema with one auditorium that seats ~70 and generally only runs older and niche films seems to be doing kinda-ok.

The cinema marketplace is changing really fast compared to even 10 years ago and there are sadly going to be some casualties.

Ultimately i think we’re going to get back to movie houses with one to three auditoriums, and with a wide range of uses: movies, streamed live performances, television premieres and finales, away-game playoff sports, as well as a healthy usage as rental space for public meetings for reasonable rates.
