Note how the article doesn’t even mention the camp classic movie.

I just saw it yesterday.

It was just okay. I really wanted to like it more than I did.

I thought David Harbour’s Red Guardian was his usual charismatic loser-with-a-heart greatness, and Wyatt Russell’s US Agent and Lewis Pullman’s Sentry were good, but the rest of the cast was forgettable, and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky/Winter Soldier could have been cut out of the movie entirely.

Then there’s the writing…

There’s no emotional center to the story. The characters lumber and tumble from one scene to the next. As asked several times in the movie, why are these guys hanging out together?

Then there’s the visual concept: Here you have a collection of great hand-to-hand fighters: A Black Widow clone, 2 Captain America clones, Ghost had an interesting fighting style, but there’s barely any hand-to-hand combat to showcase their strength.

Oh sure, there was that fight in the lobby, but…

…which I felt was infuriating as it rendered the best fight scene pointless.

And then there’s the sequence where they take down the big bad…

Was this the MCU movie that got great reviews, and was supposed to take the franchise in a new direction, and revitalize it?

Not on your bloody life!

A lot of Latino guys have that name. Must be an ethnic flick.

It’s not Hollywood creatives, but the banks that they’re reliant upon to finance productions.

The movie financing department un-creatively wants to see the safest lineup of stars, directors, and a non-controversial script to maximize their chances of getting their loan back with interest.

Ironically, this also means that the risk you have to create interesting art is missing.

So the end product is safe, but because it’s the same thing, it’s more and more boring over time.

It’s why an octogenarian Scorcese gets to make “The Irishman” with similarly aged Robert DeNiro, because that’s a combination that made money in the past.

It’s like AI shit.

It’s great at first, but soon you realize there’s nothing new coming out because it’s just AI regurgitating its training data, and undercutting artists trying to make a living by making something new.

Similarly PornHub.

I hate my Samsung S25.

The hardware is lightning fast, but this OneUi garbage fucks up multiple apps, even Voyager that I am using to type this right now.

They especially seem to fuck over the Fossify open source apps.

The redundant Samsung apps (Phone, Messenger, Calendar, Photos, App Store, et al) are garbage clones of the vanilla Google Android apps.

I never had this many problems with my Motorola, which did use vanilla Google Apps

Lecterian slip.

How many people actually own shortwave-receiving radios though?

Well if WB pays Zaslav more, he’ll do a better job, so that needs to happen at the next board meeting.

In case you were wondering, like I was:

Foals will begin to eat grain, if accessible, within the first month.

Little pigs plead with state for subsidies to upgrade wood and straw houses.

Grandmas living alone in the woods terrified.

Depriving everyone else of physical cash would just hasten the spread of electronic transactions into the corners of the global economy where it doesn’t already reach: Drug cartels, rural villages in 3rd world countries, etc.

And with that, lack of privacy from prying eyes in governments, banking, and corporate databases.

The infrastructure to accept and process cash would quickly deteriorate faster than you, the one sole cash owner, could spend it, and therefore distribute cash back around the world for it to become useful again.

By the time the physical cash could get sorted, spent, and make its way from your one location, to most places around the world, essentially cash would have become almost worthless, because alternative payment methods would be made, and nobody would be used to using cash anymore.

Even Henry Ford understood this, and paid his automobile factory workers well so they could also be his customers.

Not quite as mind-bending or emotionally hard-hitting as episode 1.

It just seemed like Rick going back to his old rebel days, except we see that the Dissidents are just as bureaucratic as the Gromflomite Empire.

The bits about Space Beth being embarrassed about being seen with her dad didn’t feel right, considering she’s a middle aged woman like Earth Beth.

edit: It’s always good to see Bird Man again.

Does the web page game work for you? Mine just sits there.

maybe? I’m not sure how this clone is supposed to work.

I thought I recognized the name June Squibb. She’s made quite a name for herself lately!
