Blackmist,

We didn’t just steal artifacts. We stole whole countries. At one point the empire covered a quarter of the planet. And it wasn’t that long ago either.

The artifacts were just the souvenirs.

Blackmist,

Yeah, but he was like fucking 80 by then.

Blackmist,

For those that haven’t heard it.

Blackmist,

Just get away from Jedi and the Skywalker family. They’ve run their course.

Blackmist,

Or just sites that don’t need a consent popup because they don’t sell your shit.

Blackmist,

I’ll take it just to watch them fight.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Blackmist,

The Empire Strikes Back is the only one that I would say is a great movie.

Blackmist,

It still looks better than The Hobbit though.

The CGI is still a bit dated (although somehow The Flash topped that), but there’s far less compositing of solo actors in green rooms, due to forced perspective.

Blackmist,

All of that is on streaming, and worse.

A lot of TV has always just been a way to fill the gaps between the adverts as cheaply as possible. Moving from 4 channels to 200 didn’t increase the amount of stuff you could watch, it just spread it all over the place.

It ate itself, streaming is going the same way. Maybe they’ll eventually catch on and have a service that contains every movie and TV show (once they’ve finished in the theatre, and past the Blu-ray/Pay-per-view part of their lifespan where people will pay for it individually), for like £30 a month, and it can be like Spotify and the other music services. A Kaleidescape for poor people. Until then I’ve gone back to mostly yarring it for any new stuff, and using a Jellyfin server.

Nobody wants a dozen services to look through, even if they did have more money than sense.

Blackmist,

Prefer to go the other way around.

Blackmist,

What about M3gan though?

Blackmist,

You dirty bird.

Blackmist,

I don’t remember hearing what Jack Dorsey thought of anything.

Musk has literally paid 30 billion to have his own private megaphone on the internet.

Blackmist,

> Realise you still owe the credit card debt.

Blackmist,

Unironically so.

Logistics has always been the US military’s best weapon.

Blackmist,

When you’ve got nukes, all wars are punching down.

The knowing that even if you fight really well against them, they could just say “fuck it” and flatten you anyway.

Blackmist,

But only one can crush a toddler without you even feeling it.

Buy the new Ford Infanticide 5000. You’re American. You deserve it.

Blackmist,

Which is why my toaster is now under a cupboard, making an entirely new fire hazard.

Blackmist,

Now imaging crawling into a cave, and being blocked by somebody else’s shoes.

Blackmist,

Also, tell the guy that digs the hole how big the coffin is including handles.

Because I went to a funeral last year where it didn’t fit.

Blackmist,

Complete with adverts for shops that no longer exist.

Blackmist,

Whenever I’m subjected to terrestrial TV, the only thing I end up watching is the second half of movies I’ve seen a dozen times before.

I grew up with only having 4 channels, but holy shit having some actual agency over what you watch was a game changer.

Blackmist,

Disney plus in the UK has that Pam and Tommy show featuring a talking erect penis.

Have fun with that, kiddywinks.

Blackmist,

What, so they can lock it behind the Star Trek Plus channel, just 4.99 a month on top of Amazon Prime.

Now with extra targeted adverts!

Blackmist,

I’m still waiting for the Birds Aren’t Real people to reach through the generations to become a liberal conspiracy.
