I remember the recent Flash movie had great reviews on test screenings, and we all know how that turned out.

Looking at you Screen Culture and your AI-generated thumbnails.

There are only 2 things most people want:

• Cheaper prices (tickets and food)
• Noisy/unruly people are kicked out quickly

Of course they’ll think of everything but.

Maybe his expectation is that companies will buy his product because people will have to feed the AI-generated code into it to test it, instead of having humans manually review everything. Basically telling people to create a problem so he can sell his solution.

Regardless if you like Proton or not, having it bundled by default isn’t good. It should be opt-in.

Yeah I wasn’t pertaining to this particular show, just in general how Ticketmaster operates.

They also take advantage of people in a rush to grab tickets or someone else gets them first, so people just buy whatever they can click, not noticing they are dynamically priced.

For the free tickets you got, I think it’s possible to go to the box office at the venue and ask them to print paper tickets for you.

I’ve been anticipating to watch it this week. Sigh

And considering it’s GM, it’s not really hard to avoid buying them when there are better options.

Deadpool vs Wolverine. If fan service was a movie.

That headline is a brand new sentence for sure.

Corporations are extremely protective about their branding, even if it’s for discontinued products. If this product gets any negative press, it can still affect their branding if people associate it with Intel.

Yup. Gah now I want some turon.

Those are not the typical cavendish-type bananas though. Those are the bluggoe (I had to look it up) or similar type of varieties that are used for cooking in Asian cuisine and desserts. When not canned, they are usually boiled when ripe and are a great sweet dessert. This canned version just makes it even sweeter with syrup.

He has a lot of good ideas. The problem is he isn’t a great writer, so he needs a co-writer and someone to keep him in check. The mediocre films are a result of him taking over the reigns of everything. If you haven’t yet, he has a couple of short films under Oat Studios and I think a couple of them need to be explored more and turned into full feature films. I like the premise of “Firebase” specifically.

Please have a co-writer. Blomkamp is an amazing visual director but he needs a writer to keep him in check.

Oh man it’s so hard to choose. Can I make a short list instead?

• Any Other Name (American Beauty)
• The Beast (Sicario)
• End credits of (The International)
• Joi (Blade Runner 2049)
• Tell Me What That Is (Wind River)
• Thesaurus Tuus (A Ghost Story)
• The Alien (Annihilation)
• Herald of the Change (Dune Part One)
• Challengers (Challengers)
• Transmutation at a Distance (Arrival)

Yeah I never got the hype for it being an oscar contender.
