Yeah, nothing against Uma Thurman. It just seems like the stereotype of what a market analyst would come up with if asked to make a movie poster.

Actors are professionals, I don’t blame them for working for Netflix. It’s not like it’s worse than the Weinstein company. I just wish the production companies of streaming platforms weren’t so goddamn soulless.

Coming soon: Purple Kill Bill, only on Netflix™.

Of course, studying the performance of individual judges is criminalized in France, so we have very limited ability to know about their individual performance. :)

It’s a huge lie that judges are neutral, but some argue it’s a necessary lie.

James Bond, brought to us by stereotypical Bond villain Jeff Bezos.

No thanks.

Then again it seems battery life is a lot better this time around, so this should ideally be less necessary.

“Creators led this revolution”

The same way cows lead a slaughterhouse.

Sure, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that under this model, small artists with little money seem to have a strong incentive not to put their music up for sale, which will cost both them and Bandcamp potential profits.

Maybe they could offer fans to sponsor a membership for artists if they want to unlock premium features.

Fair enough. But musicians are not really “any type of venture”.

Bandwagon is already taking on a risk by hosting music for free for listening. If they could find ways in which both them and the artists could profit from music published on the platform that lacks the commercial potential to justify a €10 subscription, this would be a win/win. Considering that it seems they are already hosting the music for free.

Thanks. I guess the piglets just represent random Bolsheviks sucking up to the Party leadership. Makes it look a bit like if Death of Stalin was set to Animal Farm.

I think that would be most people these days.

Could also be two separate things? I have a) dumped Windows and b) installed Lineage.

We’re outsourcing thinking to a bullshit generator controlled by mostly American mega-corporations who have repeatedly demonstrated that they want to do us harm, burning through scarce resources and rendering creative humans robbed and unemployed in the process.

What’s not to hate.

Is this supposed to be Old Major (Marx/Lenin) and Snowball (Trotsky) in conversation, and Napoleon (Stalin) injecting himself?

I’m a bit sceptical for now. I don’t remember this scene from the book, and I don’t feel like I see the characters as I remember them here. I thought Old Major pretty much stuck with his principles until the end, and things turned to shit only after his death? Alternatively, if the adult pig in the trailer is Napoleon, are the piglets just random partisans who had no role in the book?

The film is directed by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, so that’s interesting I guess.

I’m writing this from Interstellar, it’s pretty sweet.

It’s not tailored perfectly to PieFed yet - for example it’s more oriented towards communities than feeds - but it’s working really well and feels snappy.

Not strictly a scam, but there’s a little money to be made creating viral content on Facebook. They receive a tiny portion of the ad revenue from Facebook when they generate engagement.

It’s just Facebook sucking really.

A rule of thumb for weirdness in age difference is age/2+7, leaving you at 51/2+7=32,5. So going by that, 30 is a bit on the young side, which is obvious also from the fact that you felt the need to create this thread.

If one person would be in a position to judge you for it (or rightfully feel weird about it) it’s your daughter. It’s safe to say she seems cool with it, so whatever.

Moreover, given that Hunt and LaBella are members of the performers union SAG-AFTRA, their intimate scenes would also be subject to the labor group’s regulations, which call for prior notice, consent and a closed set.

…so for non-unionized talents the industry assumes it doesn’t need prior notice or consent?

I’m sure you could have a fruitful conversation with the crowd insisting it was written by AI. :)

Maybe the question we should ask is not “how much does Tom Cruise love movies”, but rather “where is Shelly”.

This is just obviously not the case to anyone who bothers reading it. It’s an original piece of writing.

The only thing that could hint at AI here is the use of em-dashes, which is a bullshit tell—I use them all the time myself as well. They’re right there for anyone with a compose key on Linux.
