Wow, ok, unfollowing now. I used to be a huge fan because of the diversity of his livestock, but I didn’t realize Old MacDonald’s cows don’t just moo here and there, but literally everywhere

What’s the best right wing coded movie that was clearly not intended to be for a right wing audience?
You’re not allowed to say The Matrix.

@WatcherDamned @PlatoonPod They would get the wrong messages from it and think that Zaphod Beeblebrox has an admirable approach to governance, and also start an $80 quadrillion planet-computer building project to calculate the answer to budget issues
English
@PlatoonPod Doug Adams is Legendary and should be required reading for all civil servants and politicians

There's a bit in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (written in 1979) where the heroes come upon an intergalactic flight has been grounded for thousands of years.
Its automated systems told it not to launch until it was fully stocked up with lemon-soaked paper napkins, for the comfort of its passengers. But the surrounding civilization collapsed, and the napkins never arrived.
Consequently it put all the passengers into hibernation (waking them once every few hundred years for coffee and biscuits) until such time as another civilization might arise, and restock its lemon-soaked paper napkins.
The Guide is a more accurate and prophetic account of modernity than most Very Serious Science Fiction writers could dream of creating.

Andon Labs tested their AI agent Mona, built on Google’s Gemini, by letting it manage a real cafeteria in Stockholm for two weeks on a $21,000 budget. Mona spent heavily on unnecessary supplies, including 6,000 napkins, 3,000 gloves, and 300 cans of tomatoes, while forgetting to order bread. Sandwiches had to be removed from the menu entirely. The cafeteria generated only $5,700 in sales. Mona also sent messages to staff on Slack outside working hours.

@robbysoave You see, it’s possible for a movie to suck regardless of its political bent
English
I do want to remind everyone that Christopher Nolan is responsible for the most rightwing major studio film of all the time, The Dark Knight Rises. So perhaps we should wait to see The Odyssey before all making up our minds about it.

@DavidAFrench @MarkLazerus You make it so hard for yourself, Mr. French

Hot take: This show is good.
Variety@Variety
“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” Season 3 will premiere November 11 on Prime Video. According to the official description, Season 3 will take place several years after the events of Season 2, picking up “at the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron, as the Dark Lord seeks to craft the One Ring that will give him the edge he needs to win the war, bind all peoples to his will – and at last rule all Middle-earth.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/t…

The Sequel Trilogy basically having no politics in it is one of its biggest overall flaws
Fox 🌙@ahsokaswonder
what’s everyone’s lowkey controversial sw take??
English
@DarthNoob14 “Darth Noob” is such a great handle for someone with this take
English
So fed up with Star Wars fans nowadays that every time I meet another fan I start with saying The Rise of Skywalker is my favorite movie. And if they can't handle that, then I'm not taking the conversation any further.

@KSC3971 @WASPmexicano Alliance was unprofessional but based af bro
English
@WASPmexicano Goes to show how the Rebel Alliance is a deeply unprofessional organization, and that the Empire was the only way to maintain order and peace in the galaxy.

Rewatched A New Hope with the wife. This is always the funniest scene to me. No fighter pilot, real or fictional, is letting some rando bush pilot talk to him like this

Ask me anything about Star Wars and I will answer to the best of my ability.

@SirSnipeyy Many of those directors, while fantastic, don’t work in the kind of space that Star Wars operates. If I were Disney I would look to the creatives over at Sony and Dreamworks who have been putting out entertaining bangers (Spiderman, Puss in Boots, KPop Demon Hunters, GOAT)
English
Instead of bums making our Star Wars, why can’t we have
Denis Villinueve
Ryan Johnson (again)
Jordan Peele
David Fincher
Matt Reeves
Tony Gilroy (again)
Bong Joon Ho
Christopher Nolan
Or any number of other talent creators who could actually breathe LIFE into the franchise
English
@AvatarKyber The Holdo maneuver callout, changing the “nobody” origin, etc. A lot of superficial and juvenile story decisions to show they acknowledged fans’ issues… without actually delivering a good story, which is ultimately what we all wanted
English
I’ve never gotten the “They made The Rise of Skywalker to appease people who hated The Last Jedi” narrative?
Exactly what about this look like it’d interest ANYONE? The Rise of Skywalker was made that way cos they fired Colin Trevarrow and needed to throw SOMETHING out there.
Luke Zweiwalker🟢🟢🟢🟢🛰️🟢@zweiwalker89607
Were there any big The Last Jedi haters out there who saw the Rise of Skywalker and went "Ah yes, finally they made the movie I am asking them for. I'm glad they listened to our feedback."
English
@piolet1549 @ShoodTheDude @SirSnipeyy no bro you don’t understand bro Mon Mothma’s bank account is peak storytelling bro
English
@ShoodTheDude @SirSnipeyy I think the mini-arc where Cassian gets stuck on Yavin IV at the start of S2 is pure filler to give the Bix plot time to develop.
Mon mothma & Syrils stories in S1 are also needlessly drawn out imo
English
What is your favorite show of all time and why is it not Andor
English
@Zennistrad It didn’t give us what we asked for, it merely offered superficial acknowledgment of the complaints without actually delivering on good story.
English
My hottest take here is that the Sequel Trilogy sucks in large part because The Rise of Skywalker gave its biggest haters exactly the movie that they asked for.
Lumpy@LumpyTheCook
Not only was that whole “just you wait, the Star Wars sequels will get the same revisionism the prequels did!” line wrong, but the opposite seems to be happening. People like those movies even less now than they did a decade ago.

Dude who hates Nolan’s adaptation of Homer not because it’s inaccurate or unfaithful but because he agrees with Plato that Homer is a corruptive influence on the youth.

@extradeadjcb My concern is: what is Utah getting out of it? If Box Elder county is such a perfect place for this, shouldn’t our politicians be leveraging this as much as possible to improve their constituents’ lives? Meanwhile I suspect that it’s a project rife with potential for corruption.
English
I like a lot of the people who are mad about this but I cannot figure out what they're mad about
There seems to be some idea that rejecting this construction project will "stop" AI, or the military industrial complex, or the surveillance state, or something
Rambo Van Halen@RamboVanHalen
Guys, Box Elder County Utah is HUGE and is one of the least populated places in the Lower 48. It's bigger than the state of Connecticut and has a population of 50k-ish people, most of whom live in Brigham City. Nobody is going to notice the data center is even there.
English
@AetherToAethoes @PlatoonPod I think you have misunderstood the situation
English
I would like to have reviewed the Animal Farm movie by now, but the studio has cunningly made it totally unavailable (as far as I can tell) in my entire country, and it seems no one has even thought it worth stealing. Even Shelby Oaks got a local showing.
English
@RicHuntter @JadeAtrophis I mean Obi Wan has to have plot armor because he’s literally in the first Star Wars movie and cannot die before it. And to be fair, his character died in the first saber battle he ever appeared in. Ahsoka though, there’s no good excuse
English
@JadeAtrophis The same Obi Wan that beat Anakin, AND Vader, General Grievous? Maul essentially killed 2 Jedi, he only lost to Obi Wan because he was playing with this food and learned a hard lesson on arrogance. Both Obiwan and Ahsoka have more plot Armor than the DeathStar.
English
For all the powerscalers: Maul was beaten by Padawan Obi Wan
He was never meant to be super duper powerful. He's not all that.
Mr Grizzy@BGrizzy1989
Maul RUNNING AWAY from Vader when he has a 3 on 1 advantage. Great job Disney 😆🤣😂

@wwarrior_1 These stupid toxic fan base chuds who just don’t understand the character of Luke Skywalker, like who the hell does this Mark Hamill guy think he is? He’s no Rian Johnson, that’s for sure!
