I think this movie did well because like me, many people are also sick and tired of being so sick and tired of the world all the time, and so, a movie with a sincere message for jaded adults about accepting their own mortality and refinding their humanity really resonated. Because it is a message of hope, instead of despair.
In a way, it's the anti-"Babylon".
Maybe I'll explain more one day when I have time, after the strike's done.
Yeah, botspam from reddit is pretty terrible. I've expressed this at LW a while ago that the only way to have Lemmy be its own thing is to cut it off from reddit, so Lemmy's original content can flourish. While this is my alt account, I think most instances should defederate from lemmit, since no one really comments on them anyways and it has shown itself to be unliked and unnecessary.
Well, yeah, there is just so much junk "originals" on streaming services since the studios think the best way to gain subscribers is quantity over quality.
Back in the day, random bad movies are FUN to watch, but now, they are just bad in a boring way.
I don't think anybody wants to attach their name to a bad show, people usually want to be proud of what they worked on. But of course, if the ones insists on pushing out as much """"content""""" as possible at the cost of people's passion, treating people as disposable metrics to pump up the number of shows on your streaming service, then passionless """"content"""" that nobody wants to watch is what you are going to get.
Support the strike, so that there is a possibility that after all this, people can refind their passion and make good, sincere, and human things again.
