djsoren19, to star_wars in A Disturbance in the Force - Official Trailer (2023) Seth Green, Weird Al Yankovic

Gilbert Gottfried! Is this the last film he’ll be seen in?

djsoren19, to comicstrips in Sleeping position

Nah, if your stomach is acidic enough you can feel it. I finally caved and got a plush incline so that gravity keeps the bile down regardless of which side I sleep on, and I still usually favor sleeping on my left due to habits from before.

Is the only difference between a Con Panna and a Vienna Coffee the size of the cup?

djsoren19, to lemmyshitpost in Peak organization

I don’t make new playlists to split by genre, I do it so the shuffle will actually fucking work. I don’t know what dogshit algorithms Youtube/Spotify employ, but for any playlist over 100 songs the “shuffler” will typically just go through the same ~20 songs and expect you to not notice. I just want a different order!

Anyway now I have like 40 playlists with 20 songs each.

djsoren19, to asklemmy in What can the US do to help Mexico finally stop the cartels?

Here’s the thing - most people aren’t actually interested in trying hard drugs. The people who are, will probably obtain them irregardless of legality. Given that, what is the harm in mass legalization? It keeps money out of the cartels and back into the community via taxation; it ensures the drug is pure and safe to consume with no additives; and for the individuals who afterward decide it is not for them, they can get the help that they need without worrying.

djsoren19, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

I have to imagine you’re not an American, because yeah, millions of Americans legitimately want to ignore science completely. They’re pretty loud about it too.

djsoren19, to piracy in Terry Pratchett's Hogfather

I think my partner has a downloaded copy, once I’m home I’ll see if I can provide.

djsoren19, to lemmyshitpost in This is my life now

He’s a survivor. They’re a dying breed.

djsoren19, to movies in Box Office: ‘The Marvels’ Gets Grounded With MCU’s Second-Lowest Opening Day Ever

I feel like Disney already knew and was expecting this. The original Captain Marvel wasn’t very well received, and they seem to understand now that not everyone wants to consume every piece of MCU media all the time with the new “Spotlight” tag. I expect it’ll get a fast turnaround onto streaming.

djsoren19, to movies in ‘Alien: Romulus’: Ridley Scott Says Fede Álvarez’s Movie Is “F***ing Great”

It’s an artistic opinion, it absolutely doesn’t need to be informed by evidence. Feeling is the whole point of art. I can feel like a director is lesser than another based upon my experiences with their previous work. My opinion is not fact, I’m sure there’s people out there who really like Fede’s work and feel differently. Trying to use objective measures like profit margins to prove a piece of art as superior to another is missing the point entirely.

djsoren19, to movies in ‘Alien: Romulus’: Ridley Scott Says Fede Álvarez’s Movie Is “F***ing Great”

That’s fair, he’s certainly been making films for awhile. I didn’t really think too much of the Evil Dead remake, it was fine but Sam Reimi casts a wide shadow. I saw Don’t Breathe as well, and found the finale to be more yuck than spook. I don’t think either have been a breakout hit in the way 10 Cloverfield Lane was, but you’re certainly right about experience.

djsoren19, to movies in ‘Alien: Romulus’: Ridley Scott Says Fede Álvarez’s Movie Is “F***ing Great”

I know the franchise has been on a downhill, but I really loved Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey and felt that it breathed life into the Predator as a menace once more. Maybe all Alien needs is a nice, smaller budget, more classically focused sci-fi horror film to revitalize the franchise. I don’t know if Fede is necessarily the prime choice, Dan at least had the excellent 10 Cloverfield Lane under their chops, but I think giving relatively new directors tired franchises is great.
