I miss the old days, where if a franchise got to 7 or 8 installments, the budget would have shrunk and the ideas would have become insane. In a just world, Jurassic Park 8 would be a straight-to-dvd release that takes place in space or something.

This is how I felt about all the Nolan Batman movies, except it was Batman himself I couldn't take seriously because of Bale's ridiculous Cookie Monster voice. I think I burst out laughing in the theatre when I first heard it.

This is 100% the point. This is why oligarchs threw in with Trump. It's exactly the same reasoning to defund the IRS, so they don't have the manpower to go after the big fish.

Yeah, I'd rather watch the Lynch version anytime, the new ones are like 6 hours of bland, boring choices and wooden performances.

Is it open source, or is it owned by a private company? Looks exactly like the kind of thing that'll be great for a few years and then become enshittified, like all for-profit software inevitably seems to.

Y'all need to see the OG anti-nazi movie, Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, which he made in 1939.

Places that aren't home or work. Social places, like bars.

I've been saying for a long time that as a Canadian, you can predict the future. Just look across the border, and what you see down there will be arriving here in 10-15 years.

I for one am shocked that Vancouver's right-wing council didn't vote to allow filthy poors into a neighborhood of mansions.

Hey man, I'm being asked to act as a cashier with no pay and with no training. If I accidentally punch in the code for peanuts when I'm buying macadamia nuts, or accidentally forget to scan my items, I don't see how that's my fault.

With today's news of Letterboxd being acquired by an investment company, I got to wondering if I should start weaning my movie obsession off of there and onto something more open before the inevitable enshittification begins. I did a cursory search and found nothing promising, but figured the braintrust here might know something I don't!
