'but it's not historically accurate!'

Y'get to see heath ledger in armor win the girl, bust heads, and have a grand time doing it! All to a solid soundtrack.

One could argue it is a demonstrative of every 80's action movie trope, then going straight into the 90's tropes list, and it does so with a smile.

Everything goes above Rise of Skywalker. Even Human Centipede.

Stallone Dreadd.

I am in complete agreement with everything you said about it being a crime against 2000 AD Dreadd, yet if one can excize rob schnider from it? It's popcorn. I've asked a few fan editors to have a crack at it because for me it has the same issue as Constantine. It is its own thing I can both appreciate it for being its own thing while also being a crime against the source material..

Urban Dredd? I kept hoping netflix would pick that up as the pilot to a mega city one police proceedural. that was just some solid movie making and wish we'd gotten more, though conceed 'what would you do for a sequel?' thus the idea of direct to stremaing platform show giving any of a number of plots time and space to breathe.

For me Tron Legacy was a case of 'disney squandered what they had, then when that one airbrushed movie bombed and they got the MCU they shelved Tron' ... likely permenently. Had a fun soundtrack. Ya the father/son story is a cliche but it's more an excuse to tour the world more than anything. I liked Legacy's look as both Kevin's use of late 80's 'money is no object' hardware vs late 70's likely PDP based hardware alongside software changes. After all by the end of the eighties the Unix Wars had happened and the landscape had changed. Plus Uprising, while flawed, had promise and showed what life was like in the early days of the regime when CLU kept a facad of normalcy.

Strange Days feels like one of those movies a LOT of people sleep on and gloss over. I am seriously recommending finding the fan edit scene and seeking it out, because the work done just.... elevates it.

I can respect your opinions of Highlander II. again, fan edits do a lot to save this one for me but even at base 'eh it's in the slush pile of shit movies I can run in the background. It's goofy it's dumb... run with it.' Then again I've kinda hated most of the highlander movies past the first one for having very little that interests me. Though I did love the show. It was a fun ride even when it got weird. Though I will admit it is guilty of helping popularize the 'katanas are just better' trope.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Tron Legacy

Guyver: Dark Hero

Strange Days (get the ultimate extended edition fan edit if you can.)

Wild Wild West

Demolition Man

Judge Dredd

Highlander II

.....

Jacob Barlow vs the Demonic Toys

There are a lot of fun movies that are considered garbage.

.....Yea I'm not buying it.

If nothing else, having activitypub based communities that are by default closed, and maybe over time federate would help bring back something of the smaller communities that we lost when facebook devoured everything.

That they eventually had humans in the loop is great.

I just don't like cloud based solutions when it's something as simple as being able to speak and not sound like stephen hawkings or microsoft sam. Plus in a cloud based 'solution' they can always keep transcripts.

Qwant

First I've heard of Quant. Got any more information? What engine it's a front end to, who's backing it, etc?

Gee it's almost like Reddit doesn't want people going to a competetor.

No, but there is a limit to what any mortal man could do. I could become a tyrant, but as kira learned. that has limits and i do not live in a world where people would fall over themselves to make mistakes in my favor.

I would do what I could, and then stare the shinigami in the eye as the hourglass runs out.

Arguments can be made over there being better adhesives for the sake of binding, but author needed a thing and super glue was there to provide. Keep the thing away from acetone and things should be fine, right?

Guys, Gals, my non-binary pals.

I hope you understand the assignment.

Account restoration or not, this is proof that we should hurry up and get to the point where voice modeling doesn't need to be done 'in the cloud.'

Yes the technology can be misused. However there are a variety of instances where someone needs to have a voice to hand.

Trouble is it's more profitable for these companies to pay per use and you can't charge for using something that's completely working on the client's machine.

Princess Bride

Ben Hurr

Spirited away.

Thanks for the 'for dummies' explanation.

Hey can someone dumb down the dumbed down explanation for me please?

Well that is their affair. I am simply ensuri ng people can't get to it between now and then.

You understand the assignment people.

Has to be their real name. In the case of those who had their names legally changed that's something I'm not sure if the rules addressed.
