I don’t think this is entirely accurate. I know ultimately Kathleen called a lot of the shots and was very meddling in the production and I thitk Ryan was trying to do something original after seeing what a superficial piece of garbage TFA was. Ryan is actually a good writer / director.
Isn’t Kathleen the producer? It was directed by Ryan Johnson
My parent spidey senses are tingling. Besides the ADHD, is there anything else happening in his life? Major life change (changing school; new friends, etc)? He may not feel comfortable vocalizing yet if there is in fact something affecting him
Yea of course. As professionals our window to do tech support is limited.
Oh yes. I can’t comment but I’ve heard that from other sources as well. Bummer
I’m curious how DaVinci resolve’s fusion page compares?
You beat me to it. The moment someone makes a FOSS cad program where the ui doesn’t suck a donkeys ball they will be the goat

I think that’s what RS was trying to do with the franchise by taking it in a new direction. He’s a risk taker and always wants to try something new so I applaud him for an least trying with Prometheus despite the flat execution. Oh well
Alien Romulus
This movie seems to get a lot of love for some reason. I understand the bar was set really low by Prometheus and Covenant but that’s not an excuse.
Romulus is just a collection of greatest hits from all the previous movies. None of the beats were new or original. Not a single protagonist or element added to the story in a meaningful way. None of the main characters are memorable in the slightest (compare to the phenomenal characters in Alien or Aliens). It was just so…bland
Not a book exactly, but East of West would make for some great narrative and world building.
Stellan Skarsgård as Judge would be terrifying. Not sure a out accent.
K
The snopes debunk is correct. However she was selected out of 15 people in the ENTIRE CONTINENT of Australia in an event that was not publicisized among breakdancing events. Was it rigged per se? No. Did she know what she was doing when many were excluded from the selection process? Yes
Waves (2019)
Exceptional movie. Highly recommend
Thanks.
The issue is I am argumentative. I like having disagreents and most of all I like hearing different points of view. If this sounds like a vanilla take, it’s because it is.
If I disagree with people on fb or insta or ask to verify the facts of an event there I will get push back or I will learn something new. I will also hear some combative words. Nothing strange.
If I ask about the facts of the matter here:
“blocked”
“troll”
“fuck you you cuntfuck defender of Kyle Rittenhouse. Eat dick.”
“I have you labeled as conservative cuck”
On. And on. And on. But it’s OK, because apparently asking for facts is justification to garner this, right?
What gives?
I think you’re right. Hot button topics are just to be avoided I guess or fare repercussion.
How can we avoid being captured by epistemic bubbles though? That’s the part that scares me.
That’s the issue. People conflate fact checking with defending Kyle. That’s weird. It shouldn’t be one on the other. Dont you agree with that at least? Is that a controversial take?
Sorry. I reread your previous comment. You make some good 'points.
I never intended to defend Kyle. And I can see why people would assume that. My messaging was very poor and I think people went straight to labeling we a Rittenhouse supporter. Given that the labeling persisted even after I clarified I’m not interested in defending Kyle. I understand it’s a charged topic and the rage blinders just come on right away. That kinda makes sense.
But then how do we talk about sensitive topics at all? Do we bury our heads in the sand?
You’re right! Why stop at putting suicide nets at foxcon! We could make that global!
