Winner of the Most Downvoted Post on Lemmy 🏆
Really? You need to see a (max.) 64px sq image of something to engage?
Here. Use an Invidious link instead of Piped. Best of both worlds: it doesn’t link directly to privacy-ignoring YouTube and (usually) will show a post thumbnail image when linked to from Lemmy.
If you all will excuse me, I’m gonna engage in the linked analysis of A Clockwork Orange.

Does anyone speak hairdresser?
No. Not even hairdressers speak hairdresserese. Like drummers, hairdressers/stylists/barbers will all appear as if all their attention is 100% on your description but they are thinking about something within their social circle (hence the real concern on their face). Like drummers, if there isn’t some kind of natural affinity between you and who cuts your hair, you will never get what you’re looking for.
That said, many clients haven’t the proverbial “faintest idea” of what actually works for their face shape and stylists, if they’re not suffering too strong of a hangover 🤣, do try to work within those confines.
You can only go in with your remarkably clear and detailed description —still open to interpretation as your hairstyle is not an airplane fuselage, with precise measurements and tolerances—in hand and still hope for the best. Apologies for the length of this reply.
DISCLAIMER: my ex-wife was and still is a fine hair stylist.

Our RoboCop Remake is fine https://youtu.be/YyKPJbYTxno,
Now I know from where Charlie Kaufman stole appropriated that scene in I’m Thinking of Ending Things!

You evil bastard! Now I’m in the middle of it! 🤣
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory: sing me one song from it (without your cellphone). And the “father” angle sucked, and I mean, sucked hard.
Total Recall (2012): high-quality, totally pointless.
Really? Did you like Total Recall? How about Robocop? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Ok goddamnit, enough with the millennials r kids n shit. Im 45. Millennials are adults. Adults! Kiss my pucker, fucker
I think they meant in emotional terms.
I loved A Scanner Darkly. I have to say of all the movies I’ve seen based on PKD’s writings, it’s the most faithful to the source material. Meanwhile, The Man in The High Castle, while you may find it entertaining, is not a “proper adaption;” being a TV series, how could it have been?
I also agree with @otacon239@feddit.de regarding Richard Linklater’s Waking Life, which was like an animated version of Linklater’s first film, Slacker, also on the “must-see” list.
One last thing regarding Waking Life: that movie was like the dry-run, stylistically and technologically, for A Scanner Darkly.
“No more realistic super heroes,” he says! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
To steal from paraphrase George Carlin, “no more jumbo shrimp! No more hot-water heaters!”
It’s already started. In other tech news…
Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees
Google Cuts Hundreds of Jobs in Engineering and Other Divisions
Thousands of Software Engineers Say the Job Market Is Getting Much Worse
…to be continued, unfortunately. Have fun!
IMHO, the reason it went dormant is because people got tired responding 99% of the time “Yes.”
See, you say that but, like ice cream, that’s another flavor. Whether you consciously notice these things or not, there is a distinct difference between digital and analog.
I agree though that first and foremost is the story, then the writing, acting, cinematography, usually but not necessarily in that order.
Why? Don’t know how else to break up with her? Stress to her during the movie how much you like the Natalie Portman torture scenes.
Didn’t love it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Okay, now you’re just jerking my chain! 🤣 How could you forget that…that…that particular beefheart/placenta purple-red that was The Blob?! 🫀
I’m back. Didja miss me?
Have to politely disagree with Mr Ager’s analysis/conjecture. While I may concede that some abuse may have happened in Alex’s childhood, there’s no solid or even implied link to either parent being the abuser. Unfortunately, people hang for such circumstantial or presumed evidence. I’ll generously grant Ager that there may have been sexual abuse on the part of the law (Deltoid, police) and if any case may be made regarding the parents’ culpability, it possibly would be their turning a blind eye to the presumed sexual abuse (there’s a legal term for this but it escapes me at the moment).
