    Including his screenplay-only credits here.

    I have still not seen Hollywood. I imagine it would be below Hateful 8 for me.

    Jackie Brown is very underrated and easily his best movie IMO.

    Reservoir Dogs is a great film, but in the context of his work, generally overrated. It’s more its own piece of film history than something to be compared to his more mature work.

    Kill Bill is tough. I think I could make the argument that it’s easily his best film—but for rewatches, Jackie Brown has it beat handily. It’s hard to rewatch the Kill Bill saga conveniently.

    The rest are honestly neck and neck. I think Pulp Fiction is #1 when you’re new, but kinda recedes into itself against his whole catalog.





  • She aligned herself with (1) the most unpopular republican vice president and warmonger of our generation, (2) did not distance herself from an unpopular president, (3) did not on any level run a non-traditional media campaign all while watching the Trump campaign triple down on it.

    The actual true answer is that it’s only her fault given the opportunity, but she in fact should never have been given the opportunity—Biden should have prepared to be a one term president and give years of lead time for a competent candidate to challenge the very obvious and inevitable campaign Trump ran.

    Trump vote totals is sideways. Hers went down 12MM from 2020.

    I live in a red state and vote blue. Trump is bad for the country. But the silver lining is that the Dems are now forced to have self reflection that they refused to have four years ago, and hopefully field a legitimately viable candidate in 2028.










  • I am of the belief we do not need PeerTube at all.

    We need a custom Lemmy instance that has video upload baked in, as well as a method of monetizing it for the server/“creator” (who is in a structural sense the moderator of the community to which it was uploaded).

    Lemmy is simply better at distributing the information. PeerTube is a red herring and P2P video sucks. We need to make it easy for a server operator to have a mechanism for paying for the bandwidth (take payments and contain distribution to paying users, and account for bandwidth when distributing operating income after costs).
