  • Lmao, I wish but no, no hallmark movie plots here. This was a few years ago, and we now have said cat :) He definitely forgot immediately after I mentioned it until I showed up with a cat one day lol

  • Doesn't really explain why I was receiving cat litter ads after only speaking with my husband offhand about maybe getting a cat. We didn't already have a cat, so hadn't had any reason to look up any cat care goods ever, and I had never searched for anything even remotely cat-related up to that point. But wouldn't you know it, about 45 minutes later, I was getting kitty litter ads. Very spooky.

  • I've fallen off with reading much of this year (life has been so hectic), so I'd like to make a manageable goal of finishing a book every other month next year. Even if it's just a novella, it would be nice to get back into it.

  • That's not quite right. They hired a theoretical physicist to provide them equations for simulating a black hole. Then, the SFX studio used their Nolan Movie Money to generate it extremely accurately to the extent that it helped spawn further research. It's not that the studio happened to get it right from research. They were given all the pieces they needed and were able to do something these physicists had a hard time doing likely because they never had that kind of money/equipment: make an exceptional, high-fidelity, cinematic simulation.

  • Really? I found it to be extremely mid. It took at least an hour for the film to not feel like a trailer montage and find proper pacing. The writing didn't feel organic at all, and felt like actors reading historical quotes from a page at each other. Also, when Florence Pugh's character started riding Oppenheimer's dick while he said his famous Bhagavad Gita line, I burst out laughing in the theater and had a really hard time taking the rest of the movie seriously.

    I think this movie will be forgotten in 3 years, if not sooner.

  • Lmao, no it isn't. At best, it's made for people who are lightly into space/science and also lightly into cinema, so please don't trot out the "you need a high IQ to enjoy this movie" stuff. If it were made for space nerds, two scientists selected for deep space flight wouldn't need to stop and explain what E=MC² is to one another.

    That's kind of always been Nolan's schtick, though, and I guess it's working out for him because he's got the a huge, quite passionate fan base. I'll never understand the hype and find his movies quite mid as cinema, but eh.

  • Every pregnancy is so taxing on the body, and can have a huge impact on a woman's future health. To make women go through it against their will, or for a child that won't live/have any quality of life is evil and vile. Sometimes, I wish their God were real, just so these fuckers can get to the pearly gates and get booted straight down to hell for all eternity.

  • It truly was a Great Gamer Gaslighting after that anime was released. Suddenly, cyberpunk was a work of art and everyone wanted to revisit it to see places from the anime. They hadn't even done much to fix it yet at that point, and may even have still been dealing with legal stuff from all the stuff they promised that wasn't in the game.

    The PR turn around with that game was wild to watch, it happened almost overnight. And Gamerz TM did it to themselves.
