phyllomancy is prohibited here

sure thing boss

lemmy and mbin show line breaks differently, in the same browser the line break is present on fedia.io and absent on lemm.ee

just to add, i never even knew twisted metal had a story, watched the series on a whim and found it to be great fun. it’s enjoyable even if you know nothing about the game

you are officially gay :-)

yeah the current owner clearly isn’t averse to radical works

probably. according to zoopla it went for 365k in 2021. changing hands for this silly money is especially obscene since it would have previously been sold for a pittance under the right to buy

these postwar council houses sometimes have the bathroom and toilet in seperate small rooms, could be the extra toilet was added in were there’d normally be just a bath and sink

nice effortpost for a great film

nothing else to add but this by dan bull is a good watch after the main event: This Is England: The Musical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR-VWN4JbKc

ended up watching this youtube video a little while ago, the caps convinced me that it was going to be bad and stupid but he makes a decent argument and it contains a nice history of little shop of horror endings

Why the THEATRICAL Ending of Little Shop of Horrors is SUPERIOR

she can be funny and still maintain tension which seems like quite a skill. revenge was great so looking forward to this

her short ‘the telegram’ is on vimeo but you need an account: https://vimeo.com/45183427

resurrection can already be watched as a romantic comedy. will the manic pixie fembot finally get together with the alien powered clone?

do people just say dvd to mean any physical disc? i get it if so, just have never personally heard it

blu rays still come out with some good extras, commentaries, making ofs, interviews and stuff but i guess it’s more niche releases. often with books, posters, art cards as well. in the uk i have some nice ones from:

arrow, 88 films, 101 films, eureka, second sight, bfi, shameless films

haven’t got much from overseas but had some region free luck from north american vendors vinegar syndrome, severin, raven banner, and umbrella entertainment from australia (also region b)

would welcome recommendations for similar labels if you have them

i think largely because it’s called ‘the crow’ rather than ‘the crow: straight to video’ or similar colon title. none of the sequels or spinoffs or whatever they were affected the cult following of the original film/books because nobody gave a shit if they’d even heard of them in the first place, curiosities at best. this one has some real money/clout behind it and is consequentially more disruptive

if you remade a clockwork orange with alex as a fan of my chemical romance instead of beethoven nobody would be convinced by your ‘it’s a new interpretation of the book’ defence either

that said i read somewhere that the trailer music isn’t the same as the actual soundtrack. so maybe it mightn’t be that bad. but he still looks like an emo twink joker

the illusion of privacy

i am from the post usenet and pre facebook internet generation (i hope that is vague enough) so using my real name on the internet or signing up for accounts with my real name email acount is strictly verboten by indoctrination, so my opinion may be out of date or invalid somehow, but i can not see how your lemmy account’s up or down voting history violates privacy in any meaningful way

that’s kind of the point, other instances are already aggregating and rating your votes given and received, why shouldn’t lemmy show this to you?

it seems from a very brief search that likes and dislikes (see link below, i assume they translate to up and down votes) are the extent of what is available so a more nuanced slashdot or steam review type rating is unlikely to be viable.

in any case the ability to upvote and downvote feels like a core differentiating feature to this kind of forum and inbetween measures are unsatisfactory. upvote and downvote anything you like, and everyone can see you doing so, would be an improvement imo on the current implementation.

at least it may be possible in a future version to allow or disallow voting behaviours on a community rather than instance basis?

it’s a bit slippery slopey but yes i suppose so. if your downvoting sprees amount to being abusive as the admins or mods define it then on their terms your account should be banned, ip banned, whatever. i don’t think there’s any voting based behaviour that gets you in irl trouble, obviously posts inciting violence, sending credible threats or other behaviour that gets you noticed by your regional authorities is another kettle of fish, but none of that seems relevant to up/downvotes being visible

the author almost certainly has more experience in managing online communities than me (i have none) but it seems counterintuitive to see a dumb take, downvote and bother to leave an argumentative reply rather than just downvote and scroll past. downvotes in this case would defuse potential arguments rather than start them, but i’ll defer to the author and assume that’s not what happens
