Can't we all get along and just hate Big Tech?

I'm still collating.
finished watching The Prosecutor
Part Courtroom Movie, part Action Movie... All propaganda.
wants to read 血孩子
Testing NeoDB's integration with my new Mastodon instance. Also, I think I haven't read anything by Octavia Butler.
finished watching Ick 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
People ignoring an obvious threat until it starts killing them, and even then, they keep shrugging it off. This is a relevant idea, it could have worked much better than the asteroid from Don't Look Up, but the thing is... it does not, it utterly fails, at everything. ::facepalm::
stopped watching Alien: Earth 🌗🌑🌑🌑🌑
I give up. I've made it through 5 episodes by trying to deny how bad this is and focusing on the Cassette Futurism design, but this show is terrible.
finished watching Loudermilk Season 3
Addiction, disabilities, mental health, masculinity... those aren't easy themes to get right, much less when making a comedy, and this show mostly doesn't, but a few times it nails them. I liked its point about objectifying disabled people, even mentioning Stella Young's "Inspiration Porn", but most of the time it just feels wrong. There's a fine line between normalizing and trivializing, and I don't think Farrelly is the right person to navigate such heavy issues.
After finishing the last season I checked the net, expecting to read a lot of outraged people, but the outrage I'm finding is the total opposite of what I expected: it comes from asshats claiming that the show was "too woke".
Yes, let that sink in, they're saying that Loudermilk, made by a Farrelly brother, is too woke. Are we really that polarized or are the algorithms selecting only MAGA nutjobs to throw at my face? I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
finished watching F1 The Movie
I wasn't liking it one bit, but the Abu Dhabi propaganda finally convinced me to despise this movie.
finished watching The Toxic Avenger
I don't remember much from the original one, but I remember that it felt punk, that was its main attraction, and this version doesn't have it.
finished watching Die Hard: With a Vengeance
