It’s outstanding, but it’s not your typical movie in the sense of what it’s designed to convey. Take it as a portrayal of how people might respond to the events in the movie, rather than being about the characters in the movie, and the ending should not be that disappointing.

I don’t think I’d call these folks marginalized, but they’re certainly not rich or entitled for the most part. I think this all boils down to, do actors and writers deserve residuals or not. If they do, than their demands are largely reasonable, but if not, then they’re not.

Interestingly enough, if a deal isn’t struck I’d also expect Bill Maher to bring his show back. So we could see an era of late night talk shows resuming during the strike.

MLB seems like they want to fix this, wouldn’t be shocked to see the other leagues quickly follow suit once they do.

I see both sides. Haven’t seen the movie but it’s not so good that we’re exactly missing an artistic masterpiece here. But I don’t like the idea of art being hidden due to political correctness either.

But it being on Internet Archive is a good middle ground; if you want it, watch it there. Although if one would want a remaster of it I’d understand.

Starve to death.

You can download relatively good sounding audio from YouTube but you need to be using the right format in YouTube-DL, which not all downloaders do

I would not be shocked if he is referring primarily to salaried employees with that one…

Haha I will still post here! I’ve just been hosting communities from narwhal.city for years now, so it’s just a force of habit I guess.

Happy to see some good replies here. Yes, it would mean that we’d need to hold car makes responsible for DUIs, Cutco responsible for knife attacks, even baseball bat manufacturers for violent attacks done with baseball bats.

It could also hold companies responsible even if they aren’t actively manufacturing the dangerous item anymore; for example, let’s say that Smith & Wesson stops manufacturing guns. Their guns will still be out in the hands of folks, and they will still be held accountable for the violence.

Edit: To respond to this:

Guns were made, by design, to be effective and efficient at the ending of human lives. Using the firearms in the way they were designed to be used is the primary difference for me

At a very basic level, guns are designed to, I would argue, send a bullet somewhere. If the gun reliably fails to do so (i.e. it jams constantly), or inappropriately deploys the bullet (i.e. it explodes in your face, shoots backwards at the shooter, or is wildly inaccurate), then I could see why the manufacturer could be held responsible, since the product isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do.

Why would we need an alternative to SearX?

I’d like this too, especially since I moderate far fewer communities than I subscribe to, it would make it easier to keep tabs on the content that’s being posted.

These studios ironically would be saving more money if they agreed to the unions’ terms.

NGL, I’m kinda happy about this. Not sure if I’ll go to see it, but it’s been my favorite trailer to see in theaters this year. The music is incredible.

I wonder if The Swarm would be your cup of tea, its cinematography was done by Drew Daniels, who also worked on both Euphoria and The Idol.

I mean from what I hear 100% of the show’s issues came from the writing. All the acting and cinematography were great.

Interesting.

Not going to lie, I do want HBO to unironically release the original version of the first season. I heard that it was basically almost done before The Weeknd came in and made it all weird.

No
