Rotten Ronnie's stopping serving breakfast at 10:30 happened.
People in the industry are fairly uncomfortable with the idea that anonymous consumers should just use their products, because data mining is how a lot of the bread is made. Some of them may have actually internalized the lie that a billion accounts and passwords are good for the consumer, who knows.
Have you seen how many people got data mined into higher insurance premiums recently?
It wasn't funny looking at the early life section of this actor.
No surprise. Falling Down has some cool moments, but it's a stupid anti-white strawman of a movie if you really analyze it.
Same as Law Abiding Citizen.
Brilliant film, Gerard Butler is totally justified in everything he does, and everyone involved absolutely deserve what they get. Then they ruin the ending with “revenge bad” and kill him off.
They ruin it by making the point where they say no to his demands at the end as the winning move, despite that being literally the first thing they did when the whole game started.
edit: I forgot about the scene where he kills the neo-Nazi, which is a giant disclaimer that "we're edgy but we're not so edgy that we're saying the WHITE RACE should dominate everything!" Yeah, that scene sucks.
Other than that, the problems Foster had with the restraining order, the unemployment, and not being able to solve his problems, are not anti-white.
I mean, you can read into the movie that the guy is completely at fault for all those things, but I think that's wrong. His foil the detective breaks away from the social conformity of his battleaxe wife at the end of the movie, suggesting he learned something from Foster bucking the system.
Not just a Nazi... a gay Nazi rapist. Because it turns out, every Neo-Nazi is actually secretly gay.
That entire sequence is so far out of left field in an already surrealistic film.
It also curbed the pace of the overarching (and escalating) theme of Murphy's Law applied to the zeitgeist; in many ways the movie embodied the end-result of Kaczynski's Industrial Society and Its Future (well before the manifesto became public), but then they had to go and toss in the "Nazis bad" narrative to subvert an otherwise awesome film.
The reason leftist propaganda movies get embraced by the right is they accidentally tell the truth. They just expect the audience to be equally propagandized to not recognize it as such.
(Cough) Starship troopers (cough)
The entire purpose of the movie is meant to be a take down of the very thing that makes it so popular in the first place, and it makes that quite clear a few times what it is trying to do. Its just Starship Troopers with less camp.
And like both of those movies, taking the "wrong message" from it like that makes the creators seethe, so I will keep doing so for that reason alone and taking my inspirations/memes from it as a side benefit.
Ah so we enjoyed it incorrectly then? Nowadays they would make a sequel where the MC gets sodomized.
a modernized version should replace the surplus store nazi with an antifa tranny
In the case of Starship Troopers, you'd be taking the right message-- the one the book's author intended.
I think the jingoistic/militaristic, "I say kill em all!" message most of us enjoy from the movie is not exactly consistent with the novel's philosophical views on society. Certainly in the same ballpark, but not likely the intent.
Minor nitpick: can you even call that “jingoistic”? He’s talking about a literal hostile alien race that launched a major attack on Earth. Humans don’t even know if it’s possible to communicate with them at that point in the story. “Kill ‘em all” is a pragmatic policy choice that would be on the table for almost any non-suicidal society. You can imagine the delivery being more staid, more somber, whatever you want, but it’s hard to imagine that only a particularly warlike, patriotic , militaristic society would consider the option.
I'm specifically thinking of the "I'm from Buenos Aires" quote when I call it such, as that is a great example of the particular patriotic fever that would define it. I know the Left and Boomers have turned it into a dirty, negative word but I think that's a perfect example of it becoming a completely justified and likely the best course of action.
Also the very specific problem with the movie where their propaganda and superiority complex consistently leads them to underestimating their opponents and getting untold number of their own people killed. While the director was trying to make a "Nazis/Americans dumb" political message, I think we can see the greater philosophical issue of believing your own hype too much that it blinds you, which is where extreme patriotism can be an issue.
That's the sort of nuance the book's author might want you to come away with, but that the movie producers would hope you don't notice.
it's an accidentally based film, the director wanted to make fun of the huwite conservatives/Republicans
Oh no it needs a 5.2GB update!
Oh no, the servers are down now!
It goes down for 2 days.
Players get 100 tokens in "compensation".
😡
I wonder what I can get with 100 tokens!!!!
Oh wait... 😮💨
Yes, that was the gist of it. The game involved (as I was told, I have no idea!) required daily grinding and people lost a LOT more than the tiny compensation given. IDK if it was exactly 100? But it was trivial, they said.
It was in a discussion of another game where 2-3 hours of downtime got fairly generous compensation :>
Everything’s priced at a minimum of 110 tokens.
mumble mumble... Bethesda..... mumble..
You know what really got my goat? I collected a lot of skins in Doom Eternal years back. I was also forced. FORCED to log into a Bethesda account just to launch the game. So stupid silly me, giving even the SMALLEST of credit to the company, had the goofy notion in my head that those motherfucking skins would be backed up on the account. That they would be saved with the account and not the fucking LOCAL save file. So color me shocked when I had to perform a reformat and did not bother to back up my save. If the account can't even register the skins I unlocked LOGGED IN TO THEIR FUCKING SERVICE THEN WHY THE FUCK AM I LOGGED IN YOU COCK SUC- .... I'm fine.. let it go... this was years ago... I'm not mad.... I'm a little mad.
I'm tired boss.
Don't let it go. It's justified anger.
Shit like this made me pirate a game i already own (namely witcher 3) when CDPR decided to go full jew with putting DRM on their first AAA tier game
like they retroactively put this log in shit on game which had none of that
