I’m sure there were, but… ::: spoiler spoiler MONEY!!! :::

Exactly! I stopped watching movie and tv trailers over 10 years ago, and it has GREATLY improved my viewing experience!

The No paywall link doesn’t work for me. I get a “404 Not Found,” and when I go to their main page I get a generic “Sorry! If you are the owner of this website, please contact your hosting provider.”

Anyone else having this issue? Removepaywalls.com was working fine for me up until about a week or two ago.

Poor title, but pretty interesting article. The future of the internet is going to be wild.

True story. While watching Home Alone 2 with my wife, I once innocently commented to her that the Central Park Pigeon Lady looked a lot like her Mother. It did not go over well! But even looking at Brenda Fricker now I can’t help but see a strong resemblance.

Thanks, i’ll check it out!

I only recently started using Letterboxd and I noticed the same thing about their movie reviews. Everyone tries to come up with the snarkiest comment that will get voted to the very top.

Man, I was just starting to switch over to Letterboxd because IMDB now requires I have an account to read reviews… If this goes through it’s only a matter of time before the enshittification begins. We need to create a decentralized movie/tv review site!

Firefly is better imo, but it does have the “advantage” of only having had one very good season. Would Firefly have kept the same quality or better over 6 seasons? Who knows. We’ve all seen shows with excellent first seasons that later drop in quality (Altered Carbon for example). Regardless, The Expanse is a great sci-fi show that is at least worth trying out if you liked Firefly.

Ya, the litter boxes in the video don’t look “cheap.” This is cheap, and guaranteed not to decapitate your cats!

I enjoyed both when they were still airing, but I can completely understand why people watching them today for the first time wouldn’t. It’s one of those, “you had to be there” kinda things. Just like I probably wouldn’t enjoy watching The Beverly Hillbillies or I Love Lucy if I tried watching them today.

I read it 3 times, and I’m still not sure if I understand what they were trying to say.

One of the things I miss the most about the 1900s is that people didn’t expect you to be reachable 24/7. Even though cellphones had been around since the 80s very few people had one. That meant that most people could only be reached through the family landline. If you didn’t answer people would just assume you were out of the house, thus unreachable. That all started to change in the 2000s when cellphones became common place. Now days I feel like everyone expects me to pick up when they call, and if I don’t they expect a better excuse than “I don’t feel like talking right now.” As a very introverted person who often needs a lot of alone time, it sucks, and sometimes I really wish I could go back to a world without cellphones.

I’m in the cult of Shane Black movies. Such a great dialogue writer! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Long Kiss Goodnight, The last Boy Scout, and of course, The Nice Guys are some of my most rewatched movies.

Nice try python… not gonna fool me this time!

It’s good to see Aperture Science rebranding.
