  • If you’re going to come at me with a link about Ukraine, please make sure it’s from a website that’s not run by this guy:

    Ben Aris: There’s a narrative in the mainstream media about, you know, “Stand with Ukraine and never report the negative stuff, only report the positive stuff.” But people I deal with, professional investors in particular, they’re interested in what’s actually going on because they’ve got money in the game in the form of investments and assets.

    I don’t think the negative stuff shouldn’t be reported but fuck him and his professional investor friends.

    BTW: Ben Aris has controlling interest in the company that owns the link you shared and got his start in journalism in Moscow.



  • The movies just came out. I’d like to see Fall Guy in a theater but I’m busy, even movies that come out on streaming still take me a few weeks if not months to get to. I got shit to do.

    Hollywood really needs to stop declaring flops within the first few weeks, whether it’s streaming or films in theaters. I really wish things were allowed to grow organically. Video games are essentially in the same boat. Unlike my dad who stopped watching movies because of the “Hollywood liberals” I’ve stopped watching/buying any new movies/tv shows/video games because everyone is looking for an immediate smash hit. I give them at least a year now. If enough people are still talking about it, I might buy it.

    I finally watched the first Dune last month, still on the fence about buying Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ll probably get around to it eventually.

    After wasting all that time typing this out, I realize that I don’t really care that much. The producers and powers that be don’t care about me so I’m not their target demographic. But, I take comfort in the fact that by the time I get to some new(to me) piece of media that it’ll be good because it stood the test of time(at least for a year or so).






  • The Devil Inside, I’m not a huge horror fan and possession/haunted house movies are my least favorite of the genre. I went because that’s what my date wanted to see. It was so boring I started to fall asleep and when it finally got a little more exciting, Spoilers it ended with a sudden car crash, cut to black, and then text popped up saying that if you want to know more, go to some bullshit website. What a waste of $40.
