Dan Savage had some great thing when he was giving advice to people with different political views. He said something like "James Carville and Mary Matalin were from different parties, but they realized they had more in common as two terrible people. . ."

How is the camera work? I get nauseous when I watch things shot from the shoulder, like Lars Van Trier's movies.

Do you constantly imagine discussions in the future about all the things about this era that Pluribus reflects perfectly?

Oh yeah, I don't have trouble believing that.
So completely subjectively, if I were to change one thing about the movie, it'd be to make Jack Torrence grounded and identifiable in the start, but I don't know anything about the background.

It's interesting because he botched that role. The character is supposed to be sympathetic at the start.
He did pretty well in About Schmidt.

It might be the most I've felt like watching a video game playthrough when watching a movie, but it seemed like a great video game. There are a couple epic boss fights, and that's a really good escort quest.

I see a lot of things here that refer to "liberals" or "the left" in a very similar way. I share their frustration. I wish they'd stop aiming it at me.

Did all countries open their borders and then they closed them again after the blip?
What were the policies that the Flag Smashers were trying to stop?

Falcon and Winter Soldier drove me crazy, because it kept approaching things that made sense, like people not getting loans because they'd been blipped.
But they never made sense of the Flag Smashers' agenda. The story wants us to see good behind their terror without giving them a philosophy.

Okay, I just looked it up. It's 30% for Steam (big publishers have the leverage to get that lowered) and 10% (by default) for Itch.

I asked this once and didn't get a reply. How do you buy a game to get the most money to the developer?

Smile for me. It was a very long, scary ride home. Similar to the Grudge in that both movies could be read as metaphors (much thinner metaphor in Smile's case) for trauma.

That's so good. I wish I could think of a good way to make that vest. 3D printing and some paint could do the face.

I am ride-or-die for @aoc.bsky.social because she did fundraising for Texas food banks after winter storm Yuri. I was snowed in for five days without electricity or heat. Cruz fled, Abbott pretended the problem was wind power and did nothing. AOC actually did something.

It's Guillermo Del Toro's favorite film. He selected it for a film festival, and that's where I first saw it.

It's really scary to see what a coordinate campaign of hate has managed to do in such a short time. I'm really impressed with how brave people have been in the face of it.

It's tough both emotionally and in body horror. It's much harder than Being Her Back. I lived Sally Hawkins in this role. The entire car does a great job.
