Eh, doesnt really seem like the same thing. Bill Murray wasnt playing Ebenezer Scrooge, inhabitant of 19th century London. He was playing a modern (80s) TV executive. Depp is cast as Ebenezer Scrooge, inhabitant of 19th century London. The reservation I am expressing is that I fear he'll play...

Yes. Completely aside from the IT subject itself, I've noticed this too since LLMs became a thing. An awful lot of people are just like LLMs (except not as eloquent). What I mean is they have an "understanding" of the world that is entirely based on language models. Something they read...

Depp s schtick only works in cases where hes playing a character you don't already know. He always plays the same weird, creepy, awkward thing. It works for novel characters like Edward Scissorhands or Jack Sparrow. It doesnt work when he signs up to play an existing character because he...

In all of cinema history there has never been a time when they ignored the source material for casting, but then followed the source material for the rest of the production. Never. Zero times.

I mean if you're not prepared to jump through hoops of arbitrary made up bullshit are you really ready for what happens in the pol thread? I'm not saying the system makes sense, I'm just saying maybe it has a silver lining

I can feel the rageshaking through my monitor. Deep breaths bro. After the breathing exercises maybe you could try reading and addressing literally anything thats actually been said on the subject But first, breathe.

No, you do, just like literally everyone else. Nolan. Nolan's casting director. Everyone else on the set. Every person who encounters her on the street. Thats what fascinating about this emperor has no clothes phenomenon. In the affected part of the population, this psyop has overcome forces...

Havent seen it, don't know or care about movie industry financing details or rottentomatoes algorithms There is no fucking way thats a real 96% audience score. Zero fucking chance. Not even a possibility worth considering.

At the current rate, it will be about 3 years before society's literacy has degraded to the point that firesofheaven.org will be considered fine literature - kind of like Shakespear; the average person won't even be able to comprehend such old-fashioned language written in "text".

Like I said, its at least 3. Not "one 15 second stinger". I don't know why a few of you are so fixated on this point. Look, most of the MCU post endgame has sucked. Doom is just as likely to suck. Modern MCU sucks at building up a good story. All of that is true. None of that means that X-men...

Theres no way they're actually addressing this. Helen being black isnt the problem. Helen being hideously, repulsively ugly is the problem. Now granted, she's ugly cause shes black. But the race isnt directly the problem, its the ugliness. Did they address the ugly problem or just address...

Thats fair but its how they've always done it. Starting with Thanos and just about everything since. Honestly I've never been a fan of the post credits scene as preview, but its as much as signature of the MCU as rapid fire witty banter.

I'm not even a super fan. I've criticized the post Endgame MCU as much as anyone else. I just feel compelled to respond when people say dumb things, across nearly any subject. Its a weakness. if I'm being honest.
