radix, in Donald Trump May 'Turn Off the Internet'. How even? A thought experiment.
@radix@lemmy.world avatar

He’d have his man-servant turn off the wifi on his phone. As long as the little symbol is gone, that means the internet no longer exists. Object Permanence isn’t his strong suit.

Hahahaha pretty reasonable

Probably fucking with BGP somehow but I don’t really know beyond that

07 Toyota Tacoma. Sold it with 190k miles on it. It was an amazing truck, but we needed something bigger.

I couldn’t sit through Pulp Fiction. By the milkshake scene I was done with these characters.

storcholus,

Just curious, how old are you? And how old were you when you saw it?

I’m 36 now, I was probably 26 or 28 when I sat down to watch it. Hit the stop button saying “Well I don’t give a damn about this.”

whenigrowup356,

Did you watch/enjoy any of Tarantino’s other films?

He’s often praised for his dialogue but tbf I find some of the conversations not at all realistic. I can see how that could rub some people the wrong way.

Inglourious Basterds was okay. I can’t say I’ve been much of a Tarantino fan.

Daqu,

Hi dialogues are so cringey. He thought very hard to make everyone say the coolest thing possible.

I’ve had my 2004 Honda Element for 20 years now. Favorite car ever! I’ll drive it until it disintegrates.

I don’t think advertising the entire blog makes sense, but instead posting links to specific posts in the appropriate lemmy/reddit/facebook/mastodon community/group ao people get something out of it and then subscribe for more.

Apytele,

Oooh OP I like this one.

Boondock Saints is trash.

Can’t think of another movie I remember loving as a teen, and liking less as a grownup than this movie. Directing, plot, premise, are just as contrived as a film could be. One out of seven rating (and the one is only because of the rice).

scratchresistor,

Quotable though

phoenixz, in Out of all the cars you've owned, which one holds a special place in your heart as the absolute favourite.

Nissan NX 2000, those were the days. I loved (and still love) the headlights

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What are some good places to advertise your personal blog?

This Discord server if you don’t mind doing it on Discord.

It has a section for promotions where everyone will see the advertisement you wish to put there.

SkepticalButOpenMinded, in What is your unpopular flim opinion

The critic rating is better than the audience rating. I’ve never seen a film with a high critic rating that didn’t have something worthwhile about it. But I’ve seen a lot of audience hits that were garbage.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

did you see the last jedi? that had the highest rating of any star wars film on rotten tomatoes and was completely hated by most audiences

SkepticalButOpenMinded,

Big oof, I had no idea that critics liked that. 91% on RT! OK, that might be the first major exception I’ve come across.

sigh its tough out here as a TLJ truther

VaultBoyNewVegas, (edited )

My counterpoint to that is Rise of Skywalker was widely praised by audiences, at least in comparison to Last Jedi and I fucking hated it.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

i also hate rise of Skywalker. caving to every fan was just weak

Rhynoplaz, in What are some good places to advertise your personal blog?

Since it’s a personal blog, I would stick with personal social media. Facebook, Snapchat, X, places where people are following YOU, and would be more interested in hearing more about you.

If it’s going to have a consistent theme, you could post something in related communities if they allow it.

ParsnipWitch, in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Horror movies are unfairly judged because most people who do not like horror movies watch them for the wrong reasons.

Num10ck, in What do you follow to keep track of new media releases?
