Since Twitter is a pile of shit let me link a photo of this tweet today.

Ah. It was a year and a half ago. And you’ll notice the account is no longer verified.

That being said fuck Twitter. Not just since Muskrat took over, fuck it for as long as it has existed and been a blight on society.

Nobbleberry is my favorite show.

I have to disagree.

Casting from my phone is the easiest method. I can have YouTube playing and jump between the different streaming apps to look for something to play. It’s easy enough to have a conversation with someone to discuss what to play next.

Excellent! I look forward to it then.

I did, but that requires either using a smart TV, which isn’t happening, or the Android TV interface which would require a new device and then a clunky interface.

Casting from my phone is the only acceptable method and all other apps support it.

An Apple TV app with Chromecast support and I’ll finally subscribe. Apple has put out a handful of great shows but piracy is the only way to watch them for Android users.

What the fuck are you talking about.

The original director revived a 30 year old movie franchise. In doing so completely reset the story.

Call the film “Fury Road” staring “Mad Matt” and you’d be calling it a visionary new story with tasteful callbacks to 80s action films.

Then we get a prequel to the film 9 years later. In what world is that milking? A follow up to a film isn’t milking a franchise.

I’m not sure you can call Furiosa franchise milking.

Apart from sharing a name the 2015 film came out 30 years after the previous film and has little to actually connect them apart from the main characters name and the general theme. If it wasn’t the same director it would be just a love letter to those films instead of a reboot.

Furiosa is a prequel that came out 9 years later.

Making a film and then a follow up 9 years later is FAR from milking a franchise.

Additionally both stories are completely new and not remakes.

I’ll die alone on this headphone jack hill if I need to, I only buy phones with headphone jacks.

Currently using a Motorola of some sort, replacement for another Motorola.

Conan has infinite energy when it comes to doing a bit. Absolutely amazing.

As far as I know. You could probably get fancy moving to dev mode and then install whatever, but I’m plenty happy with Debian.

Crostini. https://chromeos.dev/en/linux

A “one click” install of Debian (in a VM) that runs alongside your ChomeOS device. It’s a great starter tool for those getting used to Linux and even for the Linux Pro it gives you a terminal, which 99% of the time is all I need.

You can use GUI applications as well so GIMP and other tools are available.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Three! We have THREE kids Homer.

Three noisy kids. Fish heads, fish heads.

I just want to second the dirty gin martini.

I’ve never been a fan of the martini, but dirty gin is excellent.

I haven’t seen it since it came out, so it’s hard for me to give it an honest review nowadays.

In terms of cast I don’t think you could have asked for anyone better. I think a zany ghost film might have worked. I think calling such a film a Ghostbusters reboot was a mistake. The newer Jumanji films do the same thing, create in unrelated film, slap a nostalgic title on it.

You could argue that the Ghostbusters franchise was already dead, so a reboot makes sense. However I think it’s important that a reboot still hold true to the original source. The 2016 film lacked the horror elements that made a Ghostbusters film, Ghostbusters.

Strongly disagree.

I want fun movies. I want good movies. Ghostbusters are fun. The original and it’s sequel were both fun. The first was better than the second, but both were good.

Afterlife was fun. Afterlife had a lot of good moments. Yes, some were nostalgia, but there is plenty of good in that film.

Ghostbusters is comedy/horror, that’s a tough genre.

The 2016 Ghostbusters was too slapstick/funny. The actors they hired did a great job at that, but that isn’t Ghostbusters.

I haven’t seen Frozen Empire, maybe it has problems, but the crew they’ve been recruiting to take the franchise forward have been solid.

Ghostbusters has a lot of potential, if they can make something fun and pretty good I’m in.

I’m amazed and so glad to read this. This is basically my exact strategy.

I watch the newer episodes (I’ll have seen them enough eventually) and I turn my screen nearly off (almost no backlight plus a filter).

I switch up the shows sometime, but if I need sleep it’s Futurama.
