I can narrow it to an era rather than any specific movie, because half of everything that released in 1999 was great.
Then 2000 had even better films, some of the best ever made. Gladiator, Patriot, The Boondock Saints, some really enjoyable ones like Pitch Black and Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, but much of the rest were forgettable.
The peak film for me was the LoTR movies. As easily as I can critique every last detail that was off from the books, they are still epic and as close to the book in tone, style and content as any book conversion ever has been. And pedowood has produced nothing of equivalence since, and there is still absolutely nothing else like marathoning them on a big screen
After that, there were still good movies, but there was a steady decrease in both peak quality and overall quantity of "good" films each year.
While I did like the early superhero resurgence, purely for entertainment value, they certainly weren't on the same par as "good movies" and the best of them were actually released quite far apart. GOTG still sits in my personal top ten list, but purely because it's fun and visually entertaining, not because it's any Shakespearian contender.

Me in the 90s: "Is the future just a joke to you?"
Come back when your reading comprehension is better. I'm not addressing your straw men and feigned ignorance.
You said "trad right" not politicians like Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton.
The "trad right" wanted awareness. I worked a rental counter when GTA 3 came out, and people had absolutely no idea what they were renting for their 8 year old kids. And even trying to explain to them went over their head because people are NPCs, if someone doesn't make noise about a game, they would never know they were picking up soft core porn for their kids.
The push to ban games was not the same as "hey, they are selling porn to kids!" Just like, oh idk, the current debate about books in school libraries?
And now it's troons and struggle sessions, maybe you should have payed attention to what they were saying? Maybe if those issues had been given more credence things would not be 1000x worse now?
supposedly
Yeah, they totally weren't doing it. Uh huh. It's all made up "supposedly" that kids were playing Mass Effect. Now it's all "supposedly" that kids are being trooned and exposed to gay porn in schools.
One day you will realise that they are saying exactly the same thing about YOU now that they were saying about legitimate issues then. But not today it seems.
And then call of duty came along, and suddenly the "dudebros" were "gamers" and always calling me to fix their A/V issues (or to get passed a difficult platforming section in Crash or Prince of Persia, lol).
All the women in WoT are gurlbosses based on Jordan's nagging wife. There's basically only one female personality, except Bridget who is just written as a man.
Sounds like it applies to me. The studios are pretending to still be the people that made that one game to lure in (usually stupid youtube personalities) desperate victims and extort them with MTX.
"they never apologise" and "my boss won't even allow us to use air conditioning" are common problems with Chinese immigrants.
People think this is about dindus, and it probably is to some degree as an amalgam, but the framing from a Japanese perspective is likely much more targeted at China.
China is a super power on the doorstep that vastly outclasses them militarily, and does exactly this kind of "peaceful invasion" all over the world, from podunk African countries to Canada. Chinese tourists in Japan also have a big reputation for causing slights, refusing to apologise, and blaming their victims. While Chinese businessmen will cut every corner imaginable, and blame the employees for every shortcoming.
This should be more obvious to more people.
We have always had an aristocracy.
Always.
At no point in human history did we not have elders/lords/kings/oligarchs even if they called themselves politicians.
There has also always been a divide between them. The 'good times' have always been when the benevolent outweigh the malevolent, when those who wish to prosper at the top of the food chain outnumber those who wish to loot the treasury.
We also don't need a passport to "travel." There are 50 states with more things to see and do than any one person could manage in their lifetime, travelling to other shithole countries is not required.
That makes clowns.
These "seminars" and "training programs" are literal struggle sessions. They are near clockwork orange level brainwashing techniques headed by an unaccountable individual with the power to get you fired. "coercion and control" is clearly the goal.
I don't think this is a road they are going to want to go down.
If AJ "owns" his account, then everyone "owns" their account. If everyone owns their account, the company no longer has any right to censor it and people can start suing social media for damages to private property.
I don't know if they "go for it" that's just the way attractive 40+ year olds look when they aren't fat and did not hit the wall.
I wouldn't even call that gaunt, really. Maybe I just watch too many old movies and shows from when people were healthy weights.
I think this image has been "glamorised" too much. She definitely looks a lot different now, but her features are more recognisable in other recent images.
Apparently she's one of those rare women who goes from "girl next door" in her 20s to "retired model" in her 40s. Perhaps one of the very few women who don't hit the wall. See: Melania Trump.
Haven't tried the coop, but I don't think I've seen many complaints about it.
the 2028 Dem presidential primaries.
What, you think they still have those?
So far it's been pretty fun. Not best game ever territory or anything, but enjoyable.
Biggest problem it was a way more demanding game than it's art-style would have you believe. My PC chokes on it so I have to play on my steamdeck, which has some of it's own issues there.
Star Trucker
Also, Satisfactory, Against the Storm, and Sins of a Solar Empire II all hit 1.0 this year officially "releasing" in 2024.
No one is talking about it because of it's massive original release scandal, but the complete redesign of Wayfinder is actually pretty fun, though I haven't had a lot of time to play it much. It may not be a masterpiece, but gotta love the devs for stripping all F2P FOMO trash from the game and releasing it as a single player ARPG with all planned micro transactions added to the loot table. That's a huge step in the right direction.
It's a euphemism for Christianity. Once you realise that it all makes sense.
I can see it now, cop brings kid home with holier than thou attitude about it and kat fight ensues.
Canada (under british rule) was way shittier to theirs in far more recent history than the American government. They had some old school atrocities too.
Having lived on both sides of the border, there's a real interesting potential social/political study there (if there was anyone grounded enough in impartial reality to do it), because the populations of natives are entirely different and the only reason is the way the two governments have treated them.
American natives have a much, much higher propensity to blend into American society then do a TP dance on the weekends to keep their kids informed on their heritage. The Canadian ones are like 3rd world ghettos, living on gibs and selling tax free pot and cigs to their "oppressors" with higher crime and abuse rates than a Chicago suburb.
Honestly I am always surprised anyone pays full price for any lego game. Seems like they usually hit $5 by the following christmas sale. Maybe it takes a little longer, but I've never paid more than $5 for one, and even without actively seeking them out I have like 8.
They just had a humble bundle like one month ago with over 20 of them for $21 cad I think it was. Eventually people are going to stop paying full price for the latest one, right? Right?
It's far worse than that. It's a satanic babtism.
The old paseth away and is buried, a new creature is born, given a new name, a new purpose, and a new life. To go forth and proselytize their satanic inversion, to condemn heretics, and bring forth their father's kingdom on earth.
