Yes and No.
The commandment to ‘Be Fruitful and Multiply’ was from God when Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden. Jesus was more the ‘be good to each other’ type, unless you’re talking Republican Jesus which is a whole other kettle of fish.
Sounds like the Republican Party.
The irony is it was all started with a guy trying to spread FUD over existing measles vaccines to try getting his own vaccines picked up.
I’m not an Old, just … old (40’s.)
It is largely under the belief that the government is only a hindernace, and that only scammers and thieves actually get the help that is promised, so do away with all of it. i have two full time care siblings and my own vision is… fumbly (highly technical term.) We have had to fight tooth and nail for disability while i’ve been spoonfed over the past twenty years facebook accounts of people who get rediculous amounts but obviously don’t need as way of reenforing racist and bigoted views.
They’ve been fed the whole rugged indavidualist line since they were young and ‘never accept handouts because we’re not the ones who need.’
Plus a good old fashioned dose of ‘walk it off you aren’t hurt you’re being a pussy’ reinforced by how shitty our healthcare system is (that their party broke, yet obama gets the blame.)
Murdoch is trying to figure out what to do.
Considering they all lined up to defend Trump?
They are traitors as far as I’m concerned. All of 'em.
The problem with Strange Days is… the same problem cyberpunk as a genre has.
it served as a warning. A lot of people in the world took it as a blueprint.
Wait what? Big trouble in little china got- Pardon I’m gonna need to process that for a moment as that’s one of the few things me and my stepdad will call time out on arguments on. It’s a great carpenter adventure movie. It’s literally a sendup of the modenr john wayne archatype. Hell, jack isn’t even stupid, he’s just, to borrow a tv tropes term, wrong genre savvy. Also I recommend the boom comics when/if you can.
it contextualizes him refusing to kiss Grace Law at the end and… it is utter heartache in the best way.
Dredd … needed a netflix mega city one police proceedural followup. with Urban’s Dread showing up a couple times when thigns get above everyone’s heads both to prevent his overuse and to remind everyone WHY he is feared.
I’m gonna admit i saw the Dune novels as overrated, but i liked that the 80’s movie tried to have fun while telling the story.
Well at the point red dawn was made, we were starting to thaw on the russians, even as Regan kept juicing the Empire of Evil rhetoric. The message ‘war destroys everyone’ is a good one.
‘but it’s not historically accurate!’
Y’get to see heath ledger in armor win the girl, bust heads, and have a grand time doing it! All to a solid soundtrack.
One could argue it is a demonstrative of every 80’s action movie trope, then going straight into the 90’s tropes list, and it does so with a smile.
Everything goes above Rise of Skywalker. Even Human Centipede.
Stallone Dreadd.
I am in complete agreement with everything you said about it being a crime against 2000 AD Dreadd, yet if one can excize rob schnider from it? It’s popcorn. I’ve asked a few fan editors to have a crack at it because for me it has the same issue as Constantine. It is its own thing I can both appreciate it for being its own thing while also being a crime against the source material…
Urban Dredd? I kept hoping netflix would pick that up as the pilot to a mega city one police proceedural. that was just some solid movie making and wish we’d gotten more, though conceed ‘what would you do for a sequel?’ thus the idea of direct to stremaing platform show giving any of a number of plots time and space to breathe.
For me Tron Legacy was a case of ‘disney squandered what they had, then when that one airbrushed movie bombed and they got the MCU they shelved Tron’ … likely permenently. Had a fun soundtrack. Ya the father/son story is a cliche but it’s more an excuse to tour the world more than anything. I liked Legacy’s look as both Kevin’s use of late 80’s ‘money is no object’ hardware vs late 70’s likely PDP based hardware alongside software changes. After all by the end of the eighties the Unix Wars had happened and the landscape had changed. Plus Uprising, while flawed, had promise and showed what life was like in the early days of the regime when CLU kept a facad of normalcy.
Strange Days feels like one of those movies a LOT of people sleep on and gloss over. I am seriously recommending finding the fan edit scene and seeking it out, because the work done just… elevates it.
I can respect your opinions of Highlander II. again, fan edits do a lot to save this one for me but even at base ‘eh it’s in the slush pile of shit movies I can run in the background. It’s goofy it’s dumb… run with it.’ Then again I’ve kinda hated most of the highlander movies past the first one for having very little that interests me. Though I did love the show. It was a fun ride even when it got weird. Though I will admit it is guilty of helping popularize the ‘katanas are just better’ trope.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Tron Legacy
Guyver: Dark Hero
Strange Days (get the ultimate extended edition fan edit if you can.)
Wild Wild West
Demolition Man
Judge Dredd
Highlander II

Jacob Barlow vs the Demonic Toys
There are a lot of fun movies that are considered garbage.

First I’ve heard of Quant. Got any more information? What engine it’s a front end to, who’s backing it, etc?
Said the guy posting on Lemmy :)
Nope.
Kinda done with football now given the overal fanbase around me are MAGA heavy.
Ingrained racist beliefs, as well as a pragmatic ‘those are a group that can’t fight back if pushed against. I will blame them because I want the majority on my side.’
However one cannot overstate the role cultural antisemitism played. Hitler didn’t ‘one day wake up.’ Europe has had a long history of hating the jewish people. Scapegoating and Persicuting them. Blood liable for example was an accusation that popped up from time to time. Kidnapping people to mix their blood with matzah bread. Complete bunk, but the jewish people are a stateless people who do not share local traditions and norms nor do they worship at the same place. Plus they often found work doing the things that people either couldn’t or wouldn’t do, which lead to oft conspiricies of jewish money lenders puppeting from the background.
That is the sort of enviroment young Adolf grew up in. Same as how people in the modern US are essentially being taught to think of disadvantaged blacks and mexicans as a existenital threat sucking wealth away from them.
i realize your’e specifying chorded, but jlab retro rewind (second revision) is USB-C so would make an OK pair of backups or loaners. audio quality is ‘good enough’ but no it isn’t the same nor will I claim it is. Hence ‘good as a backup.’ https://www.jlab.com/products/rewind-2-wireless-retro-headphones-black
I had a pair that’s still going decent after two years of abuse (and getting glued back together through said abuse,) that work well enough, but that pair’s micro-USB. New pair has a better feel, usb c, and some other longstanding nicities.
Not premium by any streach though.
