  • None I think. I paid for all my streaming services that had these movies and shows and then have sourced everything else through originals or sources that were rentable.

    This is that whole issue with defining ownership with digital media. Movies were called the greatest financial invention of America because they only had to make a product once and could sell it forever.
    With digital media and technology increases we now have a much easier time owning our own copies.

    This is likely literally what NFTs hoped to fix to make set revenue of of each digital file and also why they failed because they are so easy to copy anyways.

    So, none, or an infinite amount, depending on if you ask me or a business major.




  • He solved a puzzle the writers gave him and concluded his purpose and then Burt’s character was made to be different and then ignored the new character description anyways to conveniently send the character away.

    Its already been contrived enough to point it out as such and will be legitimate as an overarching issue if it continues yes.

    Rest of the season was pretty great but you can feel easy answer writing, so I am calling out the early symptoms of it. It’s as legitimate as my opinion as far as you are willing to listen to it.


  • Oh sure. But for now he’s just on a round trip out and back in so that we don’t have to ask where he is for the finale.

    I had no doubts from the fact that they put the character on a train to nowhere. It’s not a decision when faced with the question of what to do with a character next. It’s “exit stage left” so that you can write yourself out of a hole with them later.

    Its a good show but the writing is lazy insofar as they don’t have a plan and are giving themselves easy ways forward or out of jams.




  • Autocorrect used to be so good. All I want is a fricking a lookup table for number of letters and with the combination of letters what the most likely options are to be.

    Its been ever since they added Auto-Finish, that I think it has become so absolutely terrible. This idea that the phone can predict for you and type out your sentence for you.

    A: it makes everybody the same and kills individualism B: It implies the company is stalking you enough to know you and that’s creepy and not what I want in a product I should be choosing for myself.

    And now we just have the bigger version of autocomplete that now is being sold as some genius answer machine when we know the default human is most certainly not.



  • Its also the power of a cheap production that was more an excuse for a bunch of rich people to skip out in covid restrictions so they could take a vacation in Hungary. If it’s a “fix it in post” production and you never bother with the post production it actually ends up pretty cheap.

    It feels their entire budget was spent up front and then when it was obvious it was garbage they stopped spending.
