@SceneinCinema @sandropacheco71 Pulp Fiction also lost to Forrest Gump, and both Pulp Fiction and Shawshank were far better films, in my opinion.
English

The Shawshank Redemption flopped in theaters, $16 million worldwide on a $25 million budget, opening weekend just $727,000 in 1994, it disappeared almost immediately.
It lost all seven Oscar nominations to Forrest Gump, no awards, no box office, the studio labeled it a failure and the director walked away devastated.
Then something quiet started happening, VHS rentals, cable reruns, someone watching it alone on a Tuesday night and calling a friend the next morning.
People who watched it told their friends, their friends told more people, it spread slowly, one recommendation at a time, no marketing push just genuine word of mouth.
By 2008 it reached number one on IMDb, the audience voted it the greatest film ever made and it has stayed there ever since.
It took 14 years to get there, a box office bomb turned into the highest rated film in history, built entirely by viewers long after the studio had already moved on.

@elonmusk This looks like a small fraction of a no kings protest.
But you never shared that, because it’s us opposing our far-right government.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.
THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

@DelusionPosting People who use adblockers are leaches on society. People gotta eat, and ads (or premium) is how that happens.

So the wife and I were excited to watch the reboot of Malcolm in the Middle last night, a show we loved and what does Hollywood do? They didn't just reboot Malcolm in the Middle, they dragged its corpse into a back alley and gang-raped it with every woke fetish on their sick little checklist.
What a disgusting, soul-crushing disappointment.
It's absolute trash. No laughs. No chaos. No nostalgia. Just four episodes of pointless, preachy slop that feels like it was written by a committee of blue-haired Disney interns who hate straight families and actual comedy.
They took the surprise pregnancy from the original finale, that last-second Hal and Lois bombshell, and turned the kid into an 18-year-old non-binary they/them named Kelly. Of course they did. Because nothing says "we respect the source material" like turning your surprise baby into a pronoun warrior full of depressed apathy, paralyzed embarrassment, and impotent fury.
Malcolm's got a mixed-race girlfriend now, because apparently the original white-picket dysfunction wasn't "diverse" enough.
And don't even get me started on Stevie. The brilliant, wheelchair-bound Black kid with one lung who used to roast everyone with genius-level sarcasm? Yeah, they made him super gay, rocking two earrings, married to a white dude, and raising an adopted baby son.
Peak Hollywood writer fetish: check, check, and check. 5/5 on the degeneracy scale.
Zero funny moments. Zero heart. Just relentless ideology shoved down your throat like it's supposed to be "progress." This isn't a revival... it's a desecration. A hate crime against one of the funniest, most relatable shows ever made.
Sometimes you have to know when to leave a masterpiece the hell alone instead of sullying it with this unbearable, talentless wokeness. But no, these hacks couldn't resist turning a dysfunctional-but-loving family into their personal social engineering project.
Fuck you, @hulu.
Fuck you, Hollywood.
You couldn't create anything original, so you had to ruin the good ones.
Leave the classics alone, you creatively bankrupt parasites.

@Aku_700 He probably said something. No one reacts like this for no reason.

> HBO Max raised prices
> Amazon just removed 4K from standard plan
> YouTube Premium now $15.99/month

They didn't kill cable. They became it.

@TruthFairy131 I said it before and I'll say it again: how long will it take before a "group" goes out at night, to find a few of these clowns and send a very clear message? 🙎

For cripe’s sake, these older models cannot work with the new technologies and security systems. This happens with every piece of electronic equipment. How cheap do you have to be that you can’t buy another one after 15 years?
You can also still use it with new content if you get a USB port, download to your computer and then slide the books over. Grow up and stop whining.

Dear Amazon/Kindle Team,
Thanks for the condescending 'longtime customer' pat on the head right before you brick my perfectly working 14-year-old Kindle on May 20.
No more buying, borrowing, or downloading books. Reset it? It's dead forever.
Treating loyal readers like cash cows with an expiration date is peak corporate greed.
This is textbook planned obsolescence. Remember when you actually did cool shit like AutoRip for your customers?
Insincerely,

I’m sorry I’m gonna be a YouTube Premium shill until the price seems unreasonable.
For $14 a month you get:
- Ad free YouTube on PC and Mobile
- Ad free YouTube on TV
- Ad free music streaming
- Ad free podcast listening
How is that not worth the money?
“Ad blocker is free” okay then use the ad blocker and don’t buy it? Lmao
