Watching MARTY SUPREME (long beleaguered sigh) and is Timmy’s character meant to be 16 years old or is that just because 30 year old Chalamers still looks like an extra from Bugsy Malone? Specially with his fresh pubestache...

a bunch of people who work for AI companies and largely paid in vesting stock options are overwhelmed by the magnitude and depth of what they've created. everyone else is a curmudgeon or otherwise a confused hater. truly this is an irreconcilable intellectual dilemma.

Sorry, I'm not willing to say "it's over for us" off 15 seconds of generic punching deepfake footage. That's just AI hype-marketing in the form of doomerism.

Not sure how much of a ‘flex’ this is, but from summer 1993 to around mid 2001 I went to the movies *at least* once a week and saw pretty much every major, most minor, and a bunch of mid releases that came out throughout those years...

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

It has always thrilled me to no end that Nick worked the "true" story while Nora got to just, y'know, vibe about it
Thinking about GOODFELLAS, and how the fact that it is technically a prequel to MY BLUE HEAVEN is one of the goofiest movie facts, made even weirder by the screenwriters of the two movies being married to each other.

Look, I’m a giant, MASSIVE nerd who wants to live in Iain Banks’ Culture as much as the next post-scarcity guy, but our current fill in the blank machines bear about as much relationship to intelligence as a duck does to a stealth bomber.
All of this is so incredibly stupid.
