IT probably just laughed at the absurdity. C suite does whatever it wants and IT just has to deal with the fallout.

There’s a whole story to this movie. I’m sure someone’s made a 3 hour deep dive into it explaining why she did it and what the studio was doing, but I think she saw the script they were pushing and just couldn’t let them make it. I don’t think the movie is bad bad, it just doesn’t make any gd sense unless you watch it through the lense of this wachowski sister going through transitioning and dealing with the loss of several close people. She’s just slapping random shit together because it made her feel good.

I completely understand why huge matrix fans wouldn’t like it though. They didn’t sign up for a meta commentary on Hollywood and trans people. But as more of these completely shit super hero movies come out the more I can appreciate what she did.

That’s the only way to enjoy it imo. If you watch it seriously you’ll be like, wtf is this shit. But if you imagine the wachowski being like, look at this bullshit I made them do, it becomes a sort of meta comedy. I am not joking when I say I was in a state of bewilderment before the heist scene. Then I busted out laughing because of how ridiculous it was and the movie became enjoyable.

It was honestly the one time where I was like, ya, CG would have been better. Or restored footage or something. It also looked like they used the cotton technique like they do on models but I might be misremembering.

The movie literally tells you what it is doing at the start when Neo talks to that CEO person. “We’re making this with or without you.” I didn’t really like it either until it turned into a heist movie halfway through and I got it. She was just taking the piss. It’s not a FU to the fans but to Warner Brothers.

I guess he refuses to use ADR but also films with an imax camera which is about as loud as a lawnmower. So all the dialogue needs to be extracted from all that noise and it sounds like shit.

I thought the nuclear explosion was pretty disappointing. It was hyped up so much and it’s just like, a normal explosion zoomed in. It didn’t look like a nuclear bomb went off to me.

What? Fish is an animal?? /s

Lucifer. Every episode is the same and I love it.

I’ve watched the grandpa episode where the mom is chasing them around to get him to take care of himself like 10 times and I’ve teared up about it 10 times. I’m bout to start crying in this McDonald’s just thinking about it.

“You used to swim here too”

“That was a long time ago”

“Nah, that was yesterday”

This is crazy too, because as a falconer RFK should be extremely familiar with bird flu. We’ve been dealing with it for years and there’s a story of someone’s falcon or hawk dying from it semi-often. If he’s part of a club he’ll get HPAI reports even. I went to the national meet a few weeks ago and they separate birds that chase ducks and birds that don’t (quarantine zones).

Although I guess it’s possible to know something exists and deny that it has a solution. So dumb.

Is that why they do such big layoffs every year? They just throw candidates at the wall and see who sticks?

Turns out the constitution is just a piece of paper.

Rotate the whole picture

Also shooting down a drone counts as shooting down an actual airplane, which is like, a super felony. So probably just don’t.

It’s absolute buffoonery. We don’t just have low information voters, we have no information voters.

Huh? I just read this book and that was not in there. The kids just drank a potion and then could fly, there was no outward difference to them. Maybe you are mixing up a different one, like the chicken one? We just started that so idk how it goes. The cover has the girl as a chicken though.

Don’t worry, Elon Musk has a much better idea for a postal vehicle. All he needs is 10 years and 1 trillion dollars and he’ll be ready with the prototype.
