It was a 6.5 that should have been an 8.

It’s a tragedy how expensive it was though. They’ll never give him this budget again.

Now that is a leading indicator of a recession if I’ve ever seen one. Wow.

BvS is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, surpassed only by Suicide Squad, which was the second movie I ever considered walking out on after Eat Pray Love.

I honestly can’t recall a worse theatrical experience than both BvS and Suicide Squad when it comes to expectations versus final entertainment value. I’d rather see Rise of Skywalker again, which made me so sad to watch.

EDIT: I see you might be referencing first or second SS. First one is clearly garbage, second is a solid 7/10 for most folks.

It’s not ethical or unethical—but your framing makes it inherently from POV of some assholes, so it kinda renders the whole hypothetical moot.

People can allocate their assets as they please. Every situation is unique. In your situation, it sounds like the parents were narcissistic assholes with a disabled child.

Found it, thanks so much.

Very low GB file though. Hope it’s good.

I have Usenet so that is a good lead, thanks.

Regression to the mean.

What’s the best way to sail the seas for this?

Yeah it’s popular music

You should watch Jackie Brown immediately. And probably Pulp Fiction.

The older I get, the more Jackie Brown runs away with it. It really is the most relatable movie as an aging adult, where the rest are generally too fantastical by comparison.

1. Jackie Brown
2. Django
3. Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair
4. Basterds
5. Pulp Fiction
6. True Romance
7. Hateful 8
8. Res Dogs
9. Planet Terror
10. From Dusk Til Dawn
11. Death Proof

Including his screenplay-only credits here.

I have still not seen Hollywood. I imagine it would be below Hateful 8 for me.

Jackie Brown is very underrated and easily his best movie IMO.

Reservoir Dogs is a great film, but in the context of his work, generally overrated. It’s more its own piece of film history than something to be compared to his more mature work.

Kill Bill is tough. I think I could make the argument that it’s easily his best film—but for rewatches, Jackie Brown has it beat handily. It’s hard to rewatch the Kill Bill saga conveniently.

The rest are honestly neck and neck. I think Pulp Fiction is #1 when you’re new, but kinda recedes into itself against his whole catalog.

If consumerism was an angel.

This is a complete deflection from the primary point: Kamala ran a campaign that would have done well in 2012. Not 2024. She had no strategy, and in fact did everything she could to not differentiate or excite despite ample historical examples from Obama to Trump on how to do so.

He got effectively the same amount of votes as 2020.

She got 10-12MM LESS than Biden in 2020.

They simply failed while Trump went sideways.

She aligned herself with (1) the most unpopular republican vice president and warmonger of our generation, (2) did not distance herself from an unpopular president, (3) did not on any level run a non-traditional media campaign all while watching the Trump campaign triple down on it.

The actual true answer is that it’s only her fault given the opportunity, but she in fact should never have been given the opportunity—Biden should have prepared to be a one term president and give years of lead time for a competent candidate to challenge the very obvious and inevitable campaign Trump ran.

Trump vote totals is sideways. Hers went down 12MM from 2020.

I live in a red state and vote blue. Trump is bad for the country. But the silver lining is that the Dems are now forced to have self reflection that they refused to have four years ago, and hopefully field a legitimately viable candidate in 2028.

I personally split the difference now. I think if the hive mind was completely rational, liberty/ancap must work in principle.

But propaganda, and moreover just how much violence people are raised with even still on average in western households, let alone the insane variance in parenting quality from China to the hyper religious Middle East to the current lead-filled (or micro plastic filled?) brains of Trumpers to the insane gang violence of Mexico and South America to the total rape of the continent of Africa… prohibits there from being any volume of rationality required to make it possible for at least another 200 years.

…except before 200 years we will have needed to solve for all of our global crises anyway to avoid extinction (at least there is a non negligible chance)—and thus some mix of socialism via the state, and the “market” AKA Earth dying, with the occasional bout of rational zeitgeist, is the only way to save Earth and explore the stars.

All hail Sterlin Harjo!
