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

FlexibleToast,

And the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. The sad fact is that these are the exceptions that prove the rule.

FlexibleToast,

Classic doesn’t always mean good.

FlexibleToast,

I agree with both of you. I don’t understand the love for that movie. Another one I truly don’t understand the love for is The VVitch.

FlexibleToast,

That hope died 9/11/2001.

FlexibleToast, (edited )

This is the same crap Boomers said about Millenials.

FlexibleToast,

Same. I could only get the small truck and small boat.

FlexibleToast,

Those aren’t interesting premises. Those are the same, tired premises in a lot of current media.

FlexibleToast,

Palpatine coming back wasn’t even an interesting premise though.

FlexibleToast,

Severance and Silo you mean. Foundation has been partly great and partly terrible. Any plotline with Brother Day has been fantastic. The others have been weak or, in the case of Salvor, terrible. Overall, the foundation is worth a watch, but it is not phenomenal, in my opinion. Not like the other shows.

FlexibleToast,

It’s incredibly common to border the project screen with black. projectorscreen.com/…/The-Best-Type-of-Projector-…

FlexibleToast,

Let the legal system do its thing. The prosecutor will still have to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt of the crime they allege he committed.

FlexibleToast,

Then I’d have to sit through the second season again. I almost stopped watching the show after that season. It got much better again after and saved itself.

FlexibleToast,

These are things that need a subscription, though… These are remote features that require internet connectivity and application serving. Things that don’t just come with a one-time fee. These are actual services being provided by Kia or Hyundai. This isn’t the same as putting a hardware feature of your car behind an arbitrary pay wall.

FlexibleToast,

You would still have to pay an ISP to connect it, but an open source, self hosted version would be ideal.

FlexibleToast,

From my understanding, Sam Altman is the one pursuing profits, and the non-profit board is the one that was overseeing it being done “safely.” If this is the case, it is the non-profit board that should be rallied for.

FlexibleToast,

But that’s what this is. OpenAI is both for-profit and non-profit. It has a profit arm that made the huge deal with Microsoft and ensures research continues, but there is the non-profit board that oversees them to make sure it’s done “safely.” If when the non-profit board makes a correction it gets immediately dismantled, then it was all for show and really the profit side is actually unchecked.

FlexibleToast,

A governing board is supposed to slow down rash decisions, not generate them.

Yes, this is the weird part. The board seemed to do what it was designed to do but did it in the worst way possible.

FlexibleToast,

None of it is good except for parts of season 1 of The Mandalorian.

You meant to say, Andor. Andor is easily the standout in that crowd.

FlexibleToast,

My company gives the entire Dec 24 - Jan 1st off. It’s like a free week of vacation, and it’s awesome.

FlexibleToast,

Honestly, Halloween is becoming as bad as Christmas. Just like the Christmas season is far too long, I’ve noticed Halloween is creeping longer and longer. It has a long way to go before it’s at Christmas levels, but during the Halloween season, it is starting to feel just as pervasive. Halloween themed decorations, movies, parties, etc… Halloween to Millenials feels a lot like Christmas was to Boomers. Always chasing that dream of bigger, better, perfect.

FlexibleToast,

I’m a Star Trek fan, but don’t know who Kevin is. But are you mistaking Kevin for the Kelvin timeline? Are those actually the same thing? I’m going to have to do some research now.

FlexibleToast,

I used one with Fedora for a while. The problem I had is whenever it would randomly disconnect, Fedora could not handle it gracefully. It would lock up the system and require a hard reboot. Windows has been a bit more graceful about things. I’m hoping the next generation or maybe oculink will be better.

FlexibleToast,

Yeah, that’s even worse…

FlexibleToast,

It’s right in the Javascript… What more do you need to research?

FlexibleToast,

It was a movie that was fun because of just how dumb it was. Even in its time, it was a very love or hate it movie. It all depends on if you like that style of Ben Stiller comedy.
