IDK I feel like I never really enjoyed Blade Runner as much as I should have. Like so much Sci-Fi, it’s pure setting. They did a 10/10 job on the setting. But the actual plot is pretty meh, I don’t really care if he’s a robot or not.

And yet I was taught in school that people went to America to escape religious persecution.

A billionaire praising AI as the next big thing doesn’t belong at a graduation ceremony.

There is probably a way to leak this and also protect yourself. The biggest issue is you need to leave your job.

It’s been closed THE WHOLE TIME. It was never open. We keep getting headlines that it’s opening and then like 2 hours later it’s closed again. These are stock market manipulation rumors, not actual news.

YSK social media makes your social skills worse.

Kinda insane they’re trying to change the rules for voting about 2 weeks before the election, when people have already started voting.

Lenny (1974) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071746/

Had a hard time believing it was a true story.

I’m surprised that they’re surprised. MAHA aligned with MAGA because they supported deregulation. On things like raw milk. That’s where the interests align. Baffling to me that anyone who cared about MAHA thought that Trump’s EPA would do anything besides deregulation.

dailymotion is a good youtube alternative.

They made it twice. We’re overdue for another one.

IDK if it’s a “food shortage” but it’s a fresh food shortage. The obvious similarity between ingredients is they are things that can be frozen.

All 3 of those things are fairly similar. Biggest difference is a lack of cows.

People with guns DID take over most of Russia. Went from a Moscow/Kiev based country, to one that extended all the way to the East coast. Manifest Destiny in Russia, “The Wild East.” All by dudes with guns vs. people without guns.

The Blue Lagoon is the best answer. No one would touch this with a 10 foot pole anymore.

No zoom-in necessary.

Around adulthood.

“Buckman! There was a fingernail in my food, ya fatass moron! Yesterday, it was a Band-Aid!”

Buckman: “Sorry, sir. The Band-Aid was holding the fingernail on.”

No Way Out (1950). Depicts a race riot. At one point a character uses the N word dozens of times in a row uninterrupted. Much of Sidney Poitier’s career would be hard to remake these days. Pressure Point (1962) where he’s a therapist trying to deprogram a Nazi. Maybe that’s exactly what the world needs a remake of right now, but we’re not gonna get it.

Basic Instinct (1992), Body Heat (1981), that sort of thing. They might remake it into a TV show, but they’re not putting that much sex in theaters.

Charlie Chan. A series of detective films about a Chinese detective who was always played by a white guy. Though you could make this movie in 2026, you wouldn’t cast a white person.

Countless movies where the subject matter is painfully out of date. They used to make anti-alcohol pictures when prohibition was a thing. Couldn’t vs. wouldn’t, I guess.
