Guess the OP

I guessed correctly.

Congrats! You win a trip to Nothing Loud's headache inducing LED fuck room. You can choose top or bottom. I know it's a Sophies Choice but those are the rules.

Good Luck and let us know how it went.

Tom Cruise is why I had to take my dog to the vet today. No doubt he's a puppet of Joanne.

But what is funny is WBD burning a bridge with Clint Eastwood whose films cater to that specific audience.
Should they just make any movie a 92 year old longtime alt-right white cishet male Nazi comes to them with?

Rented this to watch with my friends and we absolutely hated it. We just kinda tuned out after about 20 minutes and scrolled TikTok, Insta and Grindr because it was immediately more relevant and interesting to our lives than this movie. I thought with it being so popular it was unlikely my $20 would be wasted but Jesus that was terrible. I wanted to go in virgin so I hadn’t watched any trailers and just trusted the public’s obsession with it. We quit 30 minutes in because of the dialogue cliches, no apparently interesting antagonist, the boring and annoying cishet white majority cast of people doing military propaganda and rah-rah dogfighting and piloting that, while it’s visually nice, gets old after a few minutes. We just shook our heads and understood that the mainstream cishet audiences that like things like this and Fast & Furious are just not me and my friends and that’s okay, but I doubt I’ll listen to a hype machine about a Tom Cruise movie ever again.

Please tell me this is satire.

If not then I think you might unironically enjoy the first Top Gun.

Quote from: Nothing Loud
No it’s not. I haven’t hated a movie recently as much as this and I’m bitter about the $20 I spent on it.

Quote from: Solo
Imagine getting mad when you rent a Top Gun movie and get a Top Gun movie.

Quote from:  Nothing Loud
Thanks for your weirdly passive aggressive drive-by dismissal of my experience, I guess? I don’t know what you expect from me.

Quote from: Solo
You watched 30 minutes whilst on TikTok and dating apps before deciding it was "terrible" and offering up paper thin criticism. A dismissal is what you get.

Quote from: Nothing Loud
You didn’t read. My group and I watched social media apps AFTER 20 min. I’m not obligated to give a shitty movie any more of my time or interest than 20 minutes. The first 20 minutes was dumb aviation bro talk and camaraderie and flying loop-de-loops: boring. I deemed it boring and found my phone more interesting after 20 minutes. Says a lot about you honestly that you were so irritated that I did this that you came in here to think I deserve being “dismissed” because I didn’t worship this movie for almost 2 hours.

Quote from: Solo
I'm not irritated about shit. Love it, hate it, whatever. Thats all good. But to say you second screened it and quit after 30 minutes though? I'm not interested in your critique of this or any movie if that's the circumstances in which it is viewed.

Quote from: Nothing Loud
I’m sorry you arbitrarily feel people need to suffer movies they don’t like for 2 hours to have valid opinions that they don’t like said movie. Maybe following hype twitter accounts is best for you to get your digestible movie opinions from instead of a discussion thread where a variety of people are invited to share their opinions.

Quote from: Solo
I also don't believe you watched 20 minutes of the movie, since there were no "aviation bros doing loop de loops" during that time.

Quote from: Nothing Loud
Yes there were. Scenes from cockpits of them going on some kind of mission in planes. Whether that was exactly 20 min or not, I didn’t time it and I forget the details. It was all such generic military lingo.

Quote from: Solo
Did you watch the movie in reverse? There was no mission until the 3rd act.

So you spent 20 dollars on a TOP GUN movie and somehow didn’t expect anything like this? I’m shocked they went a whole sentence without saying cishet too.

And not sure what “aviation bro talk” actually is. But when you spend 20 minutes out of the 30 you had the movie on (seriously, how are you proudly criticizing a movie you seemingly spent 10 total minutes actually paying attention to?) scrolling social media (how old are you?), I guess any kind of technical jargon is bro talk.

I wanted to ask something here, rather than de-rail a thread in the gaming section. What do people feel the ethical implications of supporting Russian game development are within the context of this war? Asking in good faith, I just want make the right choices partially for my own sanity/conscience and don't want to feed into anything that ends up hurting people where possible.


Quote
A slight tangent, but I also just feel a bit off buying a game made almost entirely by white men. I imagine it's very hard to get into games as a woman in Russia but it doesn't make me feel altogether comfortable with it all the same. I can't imagine the opportunities are great their for other marginalized groups either, so I'd rather spend money elsewhere.

Thinking that guys before 1950 were virgins before marriage.

Also, are you mad that you are limited to like minded people?  :doge are you saying that you like minded people are lacking?

I mean... the gist of her argument is that social mores have changed so that women are more likely to fuck you on a first date in [CURRENT_YEAR] than they were in the 50s, which is true, and somebody who doesn't want to fuck a dude within three dates or whatever is going to find it harder to date because theres plenty of women that will fuck that they're competing against. Which is also true.
The theory expands on that to say that womens sexual freedom isn't really womens sexual freedom, if your choice to not fuck is effectively the losing move in a Prisoners Dilemma.

It's a somewhat interesting premise, but I don't know why you would try and have a nuanced conversation on resetera without getting banned for some-fucking-thing-or-other by the dunning-kruger moderation

I hate to be all cynical n shit but that looks suspiciously like Nothing Loud's alt. Look at their history. Same weird aggro when they get questioned. Same style.

It's honestly nowhere close to Matt Berry's best work. One of the things I noticed about the show the last time I revisited it several years ago is HOW MUCH it relies on the laugh track to tell the audience what Linehan thinks SHOULD be funny, instead of letting any jokes just be funny on their own. It's so hard to watch shows with a laugh track nowadays. I don't know how people managed when that shit was the norm.

Quote from: HobblyGobbly
The show was filmed in front of a live audience it's not a laugh track

I'm pretty sure most of era know firsthand exactly what bullying behaviour entails, yet they frequently choose to ignore when they are conducting it themselves.

The audience has spoken, they want Nolan, they want Peele, they want Cruise, they want Chapelle and shows about knights, dragons and titties.
They don't want John Oliver 'comedy' or a lesson in racism acted out on the big screen for 2 hours (unless Tarantino directs it).

Who knows, with more effort their diverse and inclusive content might've been received better but most of it just didn't work.
I think it's better for those creators to go where their audience is (YouTube?), improve their skills and come back swinging when people grow tired of the Maverick clones again.

It's also more about the type of movie than the skin color or whatever, Tenet did great and so did many other things with a POC in the lead.
But Tenet wouldn't have done great if it was a biopic about a black watchmaker from Texas who struggled with his student debt because of a right wing politician named Todd Crez.
The bad ass time traveling secret agent thing and car chases, apparently have something to do with the positive reception :thinking
They had a real shot to make cool things with their infinite budgets but instead they made... well, things no one can even remember.

It's not bullying when you are the one who is right.  It's "correcting toxic behavior in others," and "fighting genocide like WWII vets."  The POC vets at least.  Not the racist white ones that fought just to rub it in the faces of black people who were discriminated against from joining the war effort.

Well that was quick. Banned.

After years of remaining silent I emerge from my hole and make one innocent thread about the time I tried to wash a 10 year old boy.

I’ve shared too much.

:what

Ok.

When my wife and I moved to our new home it was great except for the fact that many of our kids’ friends were now far away so we’d bring them over to our house so they could play and have sleep overs…whatever.

One time I picked up their friend Devon and I don’t know what the fuck he got himself into but the boy smelled like diaper full of Indian food. Absolutely rotten. I was driving back to my house with my head out the window like I was Ace Ventura.

Once we get home I immediately call my wife, who was at work, and she tells me to take Devon upstairs, give him a shower, and let him borrow my son’s clothes while I wash his. So, ok, without even really thinking about it I ask Devon to come upstairs into our room and once he was there I asked him if he’d like to take a shower. As soon as that came out of my mouth I start thinking ‘what the fuck did I just do?’ He started to panic, I started to panic…..fun times were had by all.

So I made a thread about it. Titled it “The first (and last) time I tried to wash a 10 year old boy”

I thought I was doing everyone over there a solid about making them aware of the dangers of washing the neighbor’s kid. I’m sure one or two of them thought about it before.

Anyway, someone accused me of being from kiwifarms and I’ve been banned for life.

Quote from: Pocketfudge
So coming on the heals of making a thread about me being too dumb to operate a shower, here’s a time I unfortunately had the knowledge, capability, and access to use one.

Several years ago my wife and I bought a new home which was great. Better neighborhood, better school district for our kids, more room for animals, etc. Really the only downfall was moving away from all of our boys’ friends they had in the old place. So for awhile we would accommodate and they’d come over to play or have sleepovers or what have you. Normally my wife and I would go and pick them up ourselves and bring them back home later. It was just a normal, regular thing.

Well one day I went to pick up one of their friends, 10 year old Devon. I’ve always kinda felt bad for Devon because his family situation wasn’t the best and we just wanted to help the kid out. However that particular day when Devon got in my car, the smell that was coming off that kid was next level. Like he smelled like he was wearing a suit made out of dog shit. He was a bio weapon. I was driving back to my house while sticking my head out the window like I was Ace Ventura.

So when we get home I immediately go upstairs and call my wife, who was at work at the time. I tell my wife about Devon and she tells me to have him take a shower and wash his clothes. He could borrow some of the boys’ clothes while they wash. Not even thinking about the ramifications of it all I agreed and then asked Devon to come upstairs to the master bedroom. I didn’t want to embarrass him in front of the other kids so I thought if I brought him in my bedroom and close the door we could do this in private.

Once he’s there, I just said to him “Hey Devon, you want to take a shower? I can take your clothes.” He immediately had a look of sheer terror and then I realized what the hell I just said. In a complete panic I then said some nonsense that I thought he’d like it…… I mean I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. He started to cry and I had to tell him that he just kind of stunk and that the only reason why I asked. I was in non-stop apology mode. He never did take that shower

Devon never came back to our house. Not because he wasn’t invited, just because, well, you know. I’m an idiot.


Lesson learned. Don’t wash 10 year old boys.

Seriously guys? Breaking unwritten rules you don't even know about, and trying to talk about a major upcoming videogame release on a videogaming forum but thats been shadowbanned for being a derivative work of an author having twitter beef? Seriously?

They could just sticky a post about banned games but then they’d lose another way to punish someone for wrong think.

Well that was quick. Banned.

After years of remaining silent I emerge from my hole and make one innocent thread about the time I tried to wash a 10 year old boy.

I’ve shared too much.

:what

Ok.

When my wife and I moved to our new home it was great except for the fact that many of our kids’ friends were now far away so we’d bring them over to our house so they could play and have sleep overs…whatever.

One time I picked up their friend Devon and I don’t know what the fuck he got himself into but the boy smelled like diaper full of Indian food. Absolutely rotten. I was driving back to my house with my head out the window like I was Ace Ventura.

Once we get home I immediately call my wife, who was at work, and she tells me to take Devon upstairs, give him a shower, and let him borrow my son’s clothes while I wash his. So, ok, without even really thinking about it I ask Devon to come upstairs into our room and once he was there I asked him if he’d like to take a shower. As soon as that came out of my mouth I start thinking ‘what the fuck did I just do?’ He started to panic, I started to panic…..fun times were had by all.

So I made a thread about it. Titled it “The first (and last) time I tried to wash a 10 year old boy”

I thought I was doing everyone over there a solid about making them aware of the dangers of washing the neighbor’s kid. I’m sure one or two of them thought about it before.

Anyway, someone accused me of being from kiwifarms and I’ve been banned for life.

Are you from Kiwifarms though? :thinking ;)

is media getting worse or is it just easier to find out about the failures?

like I didn't find out about Small Wonder or Heil Honey, I'm Home until years after they were off the air

Mystery Science Theater and Red Letter Media shine a great light on absolute crap

it must just be the budget and marketing given to everything these days

The Resident Evil show was fucking crazy.

High school drama Resident Evil with Wesker having 2 teenage daughters. It made absolutely no fucking sense on any level.

Kind of hoping that one of the shit stirrers goes in there and informs those posters that Sanderson is a lifelong Mormon and it is hella suspect that they are looking forward to that game

But as of now, there aren't any Black employees.

In fairness, having a consensual dick up your ass is probably more pleasurable than watching your average Hollywood blockbuster  :elon

The percentage of bad movies has likely been consistent since the dawn of cinema. "Problem" is studios release more movies these days, so instead of 30 good and 30 bad movies a year that you can maybe wrap your head around, there's 3000 good and 3000 bad. The people who just want to talk about bad movies will never run out of content, even if they only stick to contemporary films.

.  It’s not even that, it’s finishing hours. Like Netflix wants a certain number of people to finish a series & up its subscribers account. That’s what determines renewal as stupid as it sounds.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/deadline-‘resident-evil’-series-canceled-by-netflix-after-one-season.624913/page-6

Okay, can somebody that knows more about streaming can explain to me why this is stupid? Sounds reasonable as is not exactly video games or TV to get money regardless of viewer/player engagement. If people a lot of people saw only the first episode of Resident Evil, realize is shit and not even bother to finish, why does Netflix needs to greenlight another season when people will probably see anything else?

Because it ignores the diversity the show brought to the streaming-verse.

Finally a black man can play a eugenic obsessed monster who conducts human experiments. Unless that's bad on this day of the week instead of good.

But seem that people didn’t exactly outright hated black wesker (outside looking like Blade when going full Wesker) but that it was a stupid teen drama zombie apocalypse.

I get that the series was trash, but this once again encourages me to not invest my time in any new Netflix series unless it's pulling Squid Game, Arcane, or Stranger Things type of numbers.

Man, is like those three are critical acclaimed shows.

so what's up with posters like "ImBald"? this guy got banned for 2 weeks, came back and instantly started making gaming news threads again. That's all he does just make threads.

Is he... trying to get hired as an online marketer by one of the big gaming companies or something?  :lol

shit is fucking weird  :heh
