Why are they so flabbergasted that bad movies exist? They have walls full of bad movies from the '80s and '90s lining the walls of their building, and they're the whole premise of their Best of the Worst series -- and that was a time when the barrier to creating a movie and getting it distributed was much higher.

Theaters have to play something in between the dinosaur movies, Pixar pictures, and whatever else these hack frauds look down their noses at. And the abundance of streaming services is constantly in need of refreshed content to keep subscribers happy. Not everything is going to be a hit -- or even necessarily recognizable.

Yeah, tell me about it.

I'm still processing this sentence:

Still very common that when I go, I am one of the only black female influencers -- when you consider that I benefit from colorism, texturism, and futurism.

I'm leaning towards her saying "featurism," mainly because "futurism" is an actual word.
Claiming privilege is the new black.

When that influencer girl said something like, "here I am at Dune 2" I had a nerd incel redditor moment and blurted out, "there's no way this baka gwailo SEX HAVER knows what Dune is."

To be fair, the next thing she said was, "I have no idea what Dune is."

The premise of "why did this technically competent but generic by the numbers horror movie released in February not do good" is just fucking bizarre. After years of bemoaning movies like these they're surprised that people don't want to shell upwards of 20 bucks a ticket to see this. I get it just an excuse to keep repeating the same idea that theathers are going to just be super hero slop while ignoring everything from the last 5 years besides spider-man and deadpool has drastically underperformed.
From my perspective what actual seems to be Happening for theathers is a split between movies to bring your kids to and enthusiasts genres, ie anime, foreign, re releases and special showings. People want to give their kids that theather experience they remember and even if it ends up cost a $100, families would shell that out for a family event while most people won't pay $20 just for themselves. They're kinda right about appealing to "an experience" and FOMO but its not for the mainstream nerd stuff, it's for anime, indie, classics and art house films. It's very specific nerds watching stuff that years ago would never touch a regular theather partially so they can say they where dedicated enough to a thing to see it on the extremly tiny window it was playing. Its basically an illusion with how short theather runs are nowadays but it works, I can't really remember the last movie I saw in theathers that didn't have subtitles.
The elephant in the room is $20 ticket prices, with the economy the way it is you just can't compare theathers to how it used to be. You can go on about streaming, theather experience, trends and what have you but at the end of the day if people can't afford to buy tickets they're obviously not going to go.

Given what they talk about advertising and awareness, they may literally know nothing about it.

I am sure they are being spammed on xitter about it. I thought it was boring as fuck and tapped out somewhere after the first act.

Rich also has a home server, IIRC back when he used to stream he talked about his home setup. All he does is game, on PC, and at the time he had high end components. He also complained recently during the gpu gouging crisis.

You can turn any old PC into a home ghetto NAS. The real cost is the price of the storage. But for cold storage for media hoarding you can buy a ton of refurbished enterprise drives for dirt cheap. If you don't have an old PC laying around or just want a project there's tons of kits. I built my NAS specifically but used an old cyber power pre built that I got out of the literal garbage for 5 years. I also have a CM3588 that I use in my workshop, and that little thing works great and I think I got it for like 50USD

I have some old parts, so this is not a problem. I have two main concerns. One is a networking setup that's neat and as simple as possible. The other is demand. I wish I could share media with fellow Kiwis, but this is tricky because of DMCA. I wouldn't want to simply post direct links here for that reason.

Depends on your home network. When I was poor my server doubled as my NAS, threw Debian on it and got a little 10$ switch, simple. Now I have a much larger home network but it's still simple despite all the jank. The difference it makes having a couple petabytes of storage, I don't know how people live without a NAS.

You can both anonymously upload or stream the media, like the kiwifarms movie nights. There are tons of ways to share media without getting butt-fucked.

I have a custom bot that automatically downloads new uploads from several channels. It's nice to know that when YouTube dies I can still watch rich try to read "Diamond Cobra vs the White Fox"
