distressingly unclear if the street fighter movie is the kind of bad I was expecting it to be (good) or a worse kind of bad (bad)

One of my more unpopular opinions is that aaa video games sold this kind of canard for years, lying to players about how much their input mattered and creating a culture of entitlement
I’ve talked about this before, but it is telling that so much of the past couple of decades has been spent telling people that this is the ideal, that art exists as a service industry. A philosophy that primed the pump, culturally, for the arrival of generative AI.

Why is Lanterns afraid of John Stewart? Five episodes into the season, @jmrivera02 writes, the HBO superhero series seems to have forgotten its hero: tvguide.com/news/lanterns-jo…

Let him do whatever he wants imo
EXCLUSIVE: “Donnie Darko” director Richard Kelly has written a book sequel to the 2001 cult classic, set to hit shelves later this year: • Titled “The Philosophy of Time Travel,” the 800-page novel takes place in 1988, immediately after the events of the original film • Kelly says he hopes to adapt the novel into an animated/motion-capture movie before continuing the story with a live-action project that jumps 28 years into the future • “This section of the sequel would be animation and then, in theory, should it happen, there would be a gigantic time jump of 28 years or so, and where the actors, should they want to play their roles live and in the flesh, that would be wonderful, too,” Kelly tells Variety. “So we'll see what happens.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHF40
