Oh, and "rebooting" movies. Tell the same story as the original, changed slightly with new characters, technically making it a sequel, but with weird muddy storytelling as a result.
I'm looking at you, The Matrix Resurrections.
Make up new shit, goddammit.
Good storytelling has moved to TV, i guess.
- With good i mean original.jagara
- The newest Ghostbusters did it, too but it wasn't the mess Resurrection is. I agree, let movie makers do their thing.lemmy_k
- The Force Awakens = A New Hope but old. Okay, Rey and Kylo Ren are cool characters.jagara
- With Resurrections they were trolling the movie industry (WB), they literally have lines in there that more or less said it lol
Pay attention nex timegrafician - Had to skip it two thirds in. Bored out of my skull. I'm not interested in the movie industry, I'm interested in seeing a good movie.jagara
- I thought the whole point of the movie was trolling while making fun of itself as well. Once I caught on, I actually enjoyed it.mapleT
- ^exactly this! Me too, I had a blast!
But lots of people have the attention span of mice these days...
Same story with Don't Look Up, the critics hate itgrafician - Resurrections and The Force Awakens are sequels. Not reboots.CyBrainX
- One exception I can think of. Battlestar Galactica was infinitely better than the show from the 70s.CyBrainX
- Making fun of itself, self reference and meta commentary isnt clever, nor does it add to the movie experience.cannonball1978
- What cannon said. Massively overdone and said nothing new. Even the depiction of "old" people was cringe. It felt like a long ad for the video game.Gucci

Car seats for kids.
Fucking hell if these things don't make me feel like a fucking dolt. I don't have a car (bcause London) but I use about 5-6 cars a year for an hour or a day or so and so have experienced a variety of car seats in which to safety my most precious Thing, and fuck me if every time I end up enraged and stupified beyond belief, trying to work out how they work.
- Man, I DO NOT miss those things. I feel.your pain.lemmy_k

- the Soap-Opera Setting. Drives me nuts when it's not either a soap opera or sports game.Akagiyama
- Watched Die Hard at the in-laws the other day with this f'ing thing on and it made it a totally different, shit, experience. Made everything small and clunky.Nairn
- I wasn't sure what you were talking about.
https://www.youtube.…utopian - We just got a new TV and I think this must be on by default. Does it make movies look like daytime tv?mort_

Sarcastic responses with "much" that are complete word salad. For example:
Angry much?
Projecting much?
etc.

- I've seen him being funny off-showjagara
- Can't stand himutopian
- I didn't think he'd last one season.fooler
- He's the worst late night host I can think of since Arsenio.CyBrainX
- I just remember that clip of him in his attic trying to make comedy without his writers, probably drunk, was really brutal.PhanLo
- he's so shit********

- I stopped watching tennis because of him. He's a ruiner. I can't count how many Nadal vs. Federer finals we would have had if not for Djokovic.CyBrainX
- That being said, Any Murray is infinitely worse.CyBrainX
- Looks like the Aussies are going to have a warm welcome for him...lost respect for him ever since I learned he was antivaxxBaskerviIle
- I get it in a way, it’s not so much anti-vaxxx than anti-big pharma and anti-government, two of the most corrupt and inept organizations on earth._niko
- He's been antivaxx since before the pandemic and has some odd ideas about nutrition and alternative medicine etcBaskerviIle
- ah ok, then fuck him lol_niko
- his face is like liquid-tool pulled to the rightKrassy
- cunt locked at the airport, his visa doesn't checks out.sted
- He was into 5G conspiracies a while back and I think his Jesus beliefs tie into his vaccine position. Good at the tennis tho'PhanLo

5G
We were promised at least 10x faster speeds, I’ve heard even 100x faster speeds.
And it’s probably more like 1.5x-2x at best and the coverage still sucks.
So far it’s a scam.
- Vaccines said to improve the coverage and receptiongrafician
- Seriously, the networks are not there yet, maybe in a few years, if thatgrafician

100,000 tons of clothing dumped in Chile's Atacama Desert.
- This is done on a daily basis. It could be worst? They could throw all of the clothing into the ocean with all of the plastic that we already throw in there.utopian
- It could be worse, I suppose - they could be force-feeding it to orphans.Nairn
- Or just lower retail prices and give it to people in need ffs.monospaced
- no. low retail prices produce mass consumption, super low wages in a lot of countries including child work plus more trash, trash, trash.sandpipe
- I think this is disgusting. Just because you're a corporation or whatever, doesn't change the fact that 'away' doesn't exist in the term 'throw it away'.Ianbolton
- if we're expected to tidy our game up and recycle at home, then fuck, the big ones like this should be forced to be so much more responsible.Ianbolton
- <Not quite what it seems. This is a landfill in a place near the port of Iquique. It's been open for ten years and a source of free clothes...Morning_star

- In my old neigborhood the cops apparently had a designated spot for holding patterns if they had to break out the choppers, and it was right over my apt.garbage
- This was my face when I heard the whirly birds and thought "welp, better check the news".garbage
- Fun boring fact: It's actually more fuel efficient to do the lazy circles, so if a news or cop heli is circling, that's anticipation.garbage
- When they break into hover, that means some shit is actively hitting the fan.garbage
