A look at the continued success of Korean content on Netflix, where subscribers watched 51B hours of Korean movies and TV shows between 2023 and 2025 (Janko Roettgers/The Verge)

The Beekeeper movie is a great action film but is also a mixed bag of values making it a bad movie. Ends up being not a good vigilante movie, not a good anti-hero movie, zero suspense, wasted conspiracy potential, unapologetic copying and badly done trope of the 'John Wick as the boogyman for bad guys'.
I understand movies that just try (and many times succeed) to be mindless action movies where the plot is not the priority. But the Beekeeper movie does try to have a moral mes…
Loved Backrooms. Found it cool as hell. One of the best flicks I've seen in a WHILE. Bizarre, all kinds of unexplained shit-- just everything I love about movies. Highly recommend.

Watched #Idiocracy (2006) today for the first time while at the gym. It's one of these movies that are both great and horrible at the same time. It also kinda feels like a prophecy... 🥴
Got movies on my Linux laptop. But my AirPods don't connect to the laptop and I want to enjoy the audio. So I'm installing JellyFin server now to stream to my iPad ... I love it when open systems allow me to solve problems on my own.

In the movies, when aliens cut power to a whole city, they do so at night, neighborhood by neighborhood. And when they reach a prison, they take out power block by block, adding the sound of old-timey switches pulled down so the inmates hear the progression.
Fascinating. 😳

I realize I may not be the average viewer but shows and movies that show tiny text for text messages (like expecting us to read off a phone someone is holding, that is usually not shown in close up) are frustrating.
This issue has been solved well. Just show a large text graphic with the text. That works well, looks good and is readable. Without the solutions I am not sure I would have thought of it (after the fact is seems obvious), but after it has been solved, use the good idea.
back in my day video games and movies had piss filters on for artistic intent, these clankers should learn to respect the groundwork old timers like RE5 and GTA IV laid [huck tugh, that's the sound of me spitting into a bucket]

Cyril Cyril & Le Syndicat du Futur - "Le gros Hit" (2026)
