It’s good to see that direct call for funding still works in open source.

US doesn’t have rule of law anymore, not sure why he’s acting so surprised…
When you write books, plural, do you just want to read them all while not having them influence your own imagination? which i could totally understand. Because otherwise from a spoiler perspective the two movies just adapt the first novel.
I don’t particularly like adaptations in general since most of them are only made to cash in on the popular name. But when something not completely shit is made I like to go into it with having consumed original medium and then be able to compare and speculate the different reasons for the decisions made in the adaptation.
I was under the impression that many large blockbuster productions nowadays have similar sized marketing budgets. Maybe $150m is a bit on the high side for Wicked, but from a quick search Dune Part II also seems like it had a roughly $100m one.
It used to be rare. But with Barbie’s gamble paying off, everyone thinks it’s the winning strategy now. I’m just proving them wrong. :)
We are pretty much in sync. The major difference being calls to violence. Ignoring how I personally feel, it’s illegal under UK law where instance is hosted. So the terms of service explicitly forbid it. Though instance admin haven’t ruled out moving to other jurisdiction, especially since the latest adult content law being passed there.
Threats of violence or harm: Any threats or incitement of violence against individuals or groups, including threats of terrorism or personal harm.
I skipped 2 on purpose. Dune: Part Two (not watching until I finish the books) and Wicked (too overhyped, if you need $150 millions to spend on marketing something, it’s not worth watching in my mind).
I heard of Nosferatu, Inside Out 2 and Gladiator II, but many of the other entries didn’t even catch my eye throughout the year.
Looking at my stats, It has been a light year on movies for me. Only 9 movies I saw were released in 2024.
My standout was Hounds of War (2024), not worth any nominations, but it really surprised me.

Not sure if I’m just not watching that many movies anymore, or I value different things in those that I watch, but I have seen 0 movies from this year’s list. Wild.

Please fix your education system so that this level of stupidity would cease to exist…
I would say it’s “hot”, not “cool”.
