The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
I started watching Twenty-Five Twenty-One and ... it's cute. : x There's so many garbage k-tv shows, where I can't even get through the first episode, but then suddenly it hits you again with something that you just have to keep watching. For me, this is one of those shows. That said, inside of me I'm very torn on those shows. Like.. I see it and it's cute and I like the people and man, do they (sometimes) look good. But then I have to think about the kind of entertainment industry that s.k has and how most of those people are probably from some entertainment factory where they are training their whole life already and aren't doing anything else... It's kinda dystopian to me. What's also funny is that when looking up "real" photos of those actors, I almost never recognize them. They seem to look completely different in the tv shows. In the shows they feel like humans to me, on those pictures on the internet they are like fake puppets with fake hair and all that makeup and photoshop.

Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"
To remain a tolerant society, you can't tolerate everything. It's a paradox, but necessary.

I love the movie Stardust. Just rewatched it earlier this year out of boredom. It's just nice.

Maybe they mean the power transformers? Wouldn't be surprised if those people don't know what they are talking about.

It's also supported by the scenes that show the predator hunting himself "up the food chain" starting with a snake, to a wolf, etc. He is pretty much doing the same as the girl.

Well, people have **** opinions, especially on the internet, so whatever. Only thing I noticed is that the CGI was a bit bleh at times. Didn't really bother me, though, as it wasn't necessary to carry the movie.

I've also just watched Prey. Liked it a lot. At least as good, or as others said, maybe even better than the first movie.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
Funny, hadn't seen the latest episode yet, but I was just thinking about this today while biking. Would a post-scarcity society really be like Star Trek? I don't feel like it would. If material needs are gone, and you can have whatever you want at any time ... I do not believe that humans will be happy with that. We either become high on apathy, or people will get bored and start doing anything to get entertained. There's lots of evil that can be done, just for fun. Other than that, of course some people will want to become powerful instead. They will want to have control over other people in whatever way. I'm really not sure if we would be able to overcome such things. I like to think that humans would philosophically evolve to "trying to better themselves" instead of following materials needs ... but guess I have too little faith in that.

Today I've learned that apparently you can legally lie in america to influence votes. America could be a great country, but crap like this keeps pulling it down into the sewers.

I made it to ep3 of Terminal List. I kinda want to keep watching it, but at the same time, I can't see ****. Even in bright daylight scenes, everything has a dark haze over it. I'll have to close all the window shutters to be able to see anything, and I just can't really be arsed to do this. This is probably the darkest tv show I have seen to date. Might as well treat it as an audio book.

This jump always looked very weird and fake. Now we know it absolutely is!

I usually always have notepad open, so I'll just paste it in there first as well. : > If it's short text, I'll just paste it into the url input box without pressing enter. 😄

Random video game news... may the dice be with you!
Problem is, new GTA gameplay will just be the exact same thing we have seen for 20 years now. Hell even RDR2 has GTA-style mission flow .... So the only thing that a new GTA would have for it would be the bits of story. Rest is just going to be the same pew-pew missions as always.

That video is supposed to be extremely terrible. Worse, or at least as worse as the cartel videos. Apparently it's one of those that you'll never forget if you see it (I haven't seen it myself, want to keep at least some bits of humanity in me.) Considering this is only the stuff we actually hear about...

I thought it was already clear that this is the final season and there won't be a s4.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/world/middleeast/american-commandos-russian-mercenaries-syria.html I occasionally read the wikipedia page about it, because I love that story so much. It's exactly what you expect from idiot leaders, their lies and propaganda.

I really liked the movie and I'm tempted to check out other indian movies now. My only issue with it was that it did feel a bit too long. There's some flashback scenes that could have been shorter, and then there are flashback scenes that we already saw and showing them again was just annoying, etc. I really liked how the two main guys became bros. It was a real brodude adventure.
