Yup, few people remember how few and far between big budget fantasy films used to be. Computer graphics have gotten cheap enough now that we see big fantasy sets all the time. Back when LOTR hit it was really rare for someone to cater to the fantasy crowd on the big screen, especially for a whole trilogy.

Much like the original Tolkien novels are a hard read but still seen as classics because they laid groundwork for the genre, the movies are seen as classics because they came first. They are probably Peter Jackson’s best movies but that’s only because he got even worse at editing as he went on.

Except the casino can refuse to pay out for any reason at all

Britain did brexit and a bunch of other countries elected right wing nut jobs in response to globalization, not just the us

Ah yes, the nuanced thinking of a 5 year old - everything is black and white and everyone who doesn’t agree w me 100% is evil

And yet everyone I know who has used it pre-2010s ish says ‘sequel’

How does everyone say SQL?

Yeah the quality of my Healthcare is decreasing

I’m not on twitter and never was, but I’m not silly enough to think billionaires don’t shape my world in a million fucking ways with their unilateral decisions. Elon here has a HUGE one recently in deciding to disable starlink during a Ukraine offensive.

Trying to assist his rich buddies with fucking with the union is a lower tier crime but still its fuckery that affects a lot of people.

Then we’ve got other rich asshats selling state secrets for money.

Billionaires are a liability and everyone needs to realize it.

Somewhere an Elon fanboy is explaining why this is peak free speech

They don’t care about the quality of television. Writing a story that goes on and on and offers the possibility of several spinoffs is the equivalent of micro-transactions in video games : they make more money that way.

Capitalism only maximizes money, it doesn’t maximize quality. It eats quality to make more money.

Yup, incentives at publicly traded companies are way out of whack and its killing us all slowly

hmm, I have watch history off. Is that why it keeps suggesting him so much? Im getting the ‘defaults’?
