I’m waiting for Friday so I can watch the last 2 episodes. Good show, I actually like how short the episodes are. I think it fits just right with the material.

Sounds similar to the film adaptation of the Annihilation novel.

That went way better than I expected.

I was surprised Yu Yu Hakusho wasn’t as popular around the world as I thought.

IMO, it varies from show to show and by genre. Some shows have plot and material that don’t really need an hour per episode, while some have so much going on that keeping it to 40 mins isn’t enough without having to rush. The problem is sometimes those things don’t match.

I’m surprised you didn’t use any soy sauce.

Wow, imagine all the stuff she witnessed and lived through from the mid-late 1800’s to the moon landing.

Dude didn’t even shower to save on water bills.

I think it’s more of finding ways to express negative emotions in a healthier/safer way, and not necessarily just suppressing it.

I use the Focus feature on IOS. I selectively silence the stuff that aren’t important (email, messaging apps, social media, etc.) and keep calls and emergency alerts active. 90% of calls I get are spam or sales calls and they don’t happen at night when I sleep. If I get a call in the middle of the night, there’s a high chance it’s important or it’s an emergency, so I don’t silence it.

It will definitely get fewer people now. I don’t think it will go away yet because it’s attached to a museum and it shows educational stuff and documentaries as well, so movies aren’t the only income of the establishment. People in the central and south area of the city are still closer to it than the new one as well, unless they’re willing to drive an additional 40-45 mins. The reserved seating might be enticing enough for some to be willing to make the drive though. People in the north side of town, me included, will definitely gravitate towards the new one.

But yes, no reservations in this day and age is so dumb. I had to show up 2 hours early for the first Dune so I can be among the first 30 people to get in.

Not much really. Separate profile on your machine or run it in a VM. Then maybe use a vpn. But that doesn’t really hide anything from zoom itself. Maybe use a throwaway email.

Wonderful news, especially since I discovered a second authentic IMAX opened near me. The other one doesn’t have reserved seating so I’m definitely going to the new one to see Messiah.

Capsule hotel, popular in Japan.

Great to see Sharp Objects there. A very overlooked and underrated show, highly recommended.

The only time I’m going to an AMC is to watch a movie in Dolby, and there are only 1 or 2 films a year that are worthy enough to be seen in Dolby. Otherwise I only watch movies that are IMAX-worthy. And thankfully there are now two true IMAX theaters within 20mins from my house.

Until we get a movie about dinosaurs and not people who happen to be in a place with dinosaurs, it will always be like that. Of course studios are not risking money for a film that’s 80% dinos and 20% people.

I just watched an interview of Karen Hao and she mentioned something along the lines of executives being oversold AI as something to replace everyone instead of something that should exist alongside people to help them, and they believe it.

Too short. A good movie is still a good movie even if it felt too short. A bad movie just gets worse if it’s too long.

Are are we applying butterfly effect mechanics here? If yes, the farthest I’ll probably go is the previous 24 hours to have the least impact on the things I don’t want to lose/change. Then I’ll probably bet on the lottery.
