Yeah well idc what the author says outside the original work
I have the same opinion on SBS
For me the explaination I had while watching is far better than the shitty one the author gave
Sadly headcanon can't save this one
Death of the author
So it doesn't break
I don't care what the author wanted if it isn't outright in the text or media
Like yeah if you imagine your car is a Bugatti thats nice
It's literally not that?
Doesn't mean your 1996 honda is a Bugatti
I don't care what the author says outside of their work
You just told me you imagined an answer
To something that clearly has none
And agaisnt what the author intended
Its pure fabrication
And headcanon
I told its a valid answer that makes sense in the context of the story
If you can't see the issue with that
You aren't engaging with it properly
There's nitpicking
And theres just using headcanon to patch plot holes
- Authorial intention has no say in how I perceive the story. It's the story I engage with
- I gave an explaination which the story content doesn't refute
Don't really see the merit in using imagination to make your experience coherent due to mistakes from an author
Just because you imagined a solution doesnt make the problem go away
I really don't understand what the issue is with this?
ST series finale || https://fixupx.com/culturecrave/status/2007107645447287226?s=46 ||
The Duffer Brothers say Hopper and Joyce realized they went to high school with Henry/Vecna off-screen
ïžïž
ïžïž"We had a walk a fine line with the play â we donât want to frustrate, because so much of our audience is unable to see it. To have them start talking about it would have been confusing in the context of someone who hasnât seen the play. But Iâm sure they did have that conversationâ
ïžïž
ïžïž(via @Variety)
Im saying its just flawed from the onset
Why would I care what the author says outside the series
Nothing else
It's not.
You keep trying to validate it to me
Death of the Author is just literally one of the most oldest trick in literary analysis
What are these interviews
đ
Pluribus ep 3 ||its funny watching how absolutely awful carol is. She's so self centered its crazy
killing millions of people because she can't control her emotions, and now wasting a fuck ton of food just to have "her sprouts" back
||
Apparently those stuff were revealed in the Broadway Play
Which is idk non canon to me. Should have had them with main series
He has to be making stuff up
Pluribus ep 3 || what Happened in this ep ||
I donât care about what they say outside the actual material of the show either but these interviews are hilarious
They are
Especially since the Duffers are seemingly incompetent writers who donât know what theyâre talking about
I think they nailed the emotional beats in finale but every season has been increasingly worse since s1
S1 isnât a fluke, thatâs the problem
Chungking Express || Just finished watching this, I liked the movie but the first policeman's story was much shorter than the second one, kind of threw me off. The cinematography was really nice and the music choices was really good as well. IMO, wish the beginning was better but I really enjoyed the story of the restaurant worker and the second policeman ||
They nailed it pretty well in S1 and then had to make up shit to keep piling until it just fell apart
The first season is a pretty one and done story all things considered
They searched for the smallest thread they could expand from each season
The success of it made them greedy
Pluribus ep 3 ||flash back of carol being unbearable while on vacation with helen, carol is unbearable when home, starving herself out of protest; carol asks them to put back all the food in a grocery store so she can feel comfortable and "independent" again. Just wasting food after They said it was to increase efficiency and to not be wasteful||
Right
Duffer Brothers Admit They Havenât Watched âStranger Thingsâ In Years https://t.co/JiefENJDUJ
Pretty Little Liars ahh post ending interview scene
fix it interviews making shit worse
Stranger Things || Ya know, I hear that the show was referencing montauk, a place thats only a few hours away from me, specifically the radio tower thats at camp hero. Something about project MK Ultra possibly being done there. Honestly its a really nice beach side region with a cute shoreline, great place to go birding, I wanna find a bird called a razorbill there||
Image isnt a spoiler for the show or actually has anything to do with it, but figure its good to put it anyway.
Beautiful place tho, nice to take a morning trip to when theres no traffic from the city folk
This is what people actually probably think of with the show tho (just an irl picture of the region)
ST || this is where the upside down was created! ||
ST || Oh cool, little history for the actual place, this is the camp hero radio tower that was used to protect New York and the Atlantic from Soviet invasion! A lot of the theories span from Project Montauk/MKUltra which was the conspiracy that the US government used/tested psychedelics and their effectiveness in warfare!||
ST ||yeah I know about MK Ultra ||
That and the monster (cant show the actual image cause of nsfw for the server)
Not ST related
Gonna head back out soon there, need to find my self some oceanic birds to photograph
Oh pitt season 2 is next week
real peak
its called headcanon around these parts
pluribus ep 3 || while I agree carol is awful, she absolutely had no idea she was killing millions because of a bad mood and I think food waste when the world literally ended is the least of anyones problems ||
Using your imagination is a core component of any experience with art
Idk how it applies to the context of Stranger Things but that comment is really funny
once upon a time there was a knight, a dragon and shaquile o'neal
you can imagine where this is going
ok so that means I wrote the story
A very stupid thing happens
My brain while watching filled a reasonable explanation, which the show can't refute
Then the showrunners come after it premiers and give a super duper stupid explaination
You conceptualized enough for another person to put their own pieces in place but you didnât write a story
Of course itâs you arguing against using cognitive abilities to fill in gaps for a story or writer
A writer's words outside of his work about his work has no merit for md
if you have smth to say, incorporate it into the story
thats also really cringe
gaps in a story only work when you can fill them by extrapolating from canon information
if you have to write the story for the author then its a shit story
death of the author is usually just a tool to cope with a shitty story
Not every info in the story has to be spoonfed to a watcher/reader
not every hole in the story is something planned
you can fill literally ever hole in a story if you try hard enough but does that make any better?
There's obv matter of how far one can go until it becomes a reach
There's a matter of headcanon vs just filling in the obvious things
But by the metric you were establishing, it would make sublety in story irrelevant
when its about garbage shit its almost always headcanon
and since we're talking about stranger things
Because anything that the story isn't blatantly saying would be "headcanon" than just engaging with story at any level below the surface
do you think stranger things is the kind of story where it has incredibly deep subtext at every corner
there is no reading between the lines there
its presented as it is
Just like stormlightâŠ.
yes stormlight is very straightforward too
but its a good story so we dont need to claim death of the author to cope with some shit ass reveal
Every story has. That just depends on the reader/watcher lol
for me ST doesn't
but for some it might
I think thatâs true to an extent
and the readers are wrong so whats new
Take a story where the author has layers of shit.
Say its published and people read it and majority only engage with it in surface level.
Then that story wouldn't have any subtext for the majority, irrelevant of what the author's intention was
even the most famous and poignant pieces of literature wouldn't be appreciated if the majority of the readers ignore the shit its trying to tell
You are learning đ«Ą
I have nothing to learn I am a genius
Do i read a chapter before bed or watch a youtube video
again I'm not talking about actual literature I'm talking about stranger things since that is the context of the conversation here
All works have same merit
I dont care if some people will watch spongebob and find hundreds of hidden comments on philosophy and human nature
which is assigned by the readers
absolutely not
Absolutely yes
viewing every work of art under the same lenses is an actual disservice to the real artists
also if that was a common sentiment then we wouldh't have the current ai slop discourse
AI slop isn't even work of art so its irrelevant
Don't move the goalpost
you just said its assigned by people who consume it
How do you assign real work of art?
Just the works that some majority of people called "super good" once upon a time?
Cuz that's how the works that have literary merit got their.literary merit
if you think ai is not art is your choice but its my choice to not consider stranger things on the same level as actual art too
so yeas not every work of art has the same merit
AI art is literally not art cuz it doesn't have the human factor in every decision of the art, in various choices the way any work of art has
It's giving instructions to a black box which then does the statistical stuff in multiple passes to generate pixels
you ever heard of a digital camera
I think you are just broadening shit unnecessary and adding different categories than what we are discussing
anyway I dont really care if you think ai is art or not, thats not my point
you're the one going on tangents lmao
???
You literally mentioned AI arts
I just mentioned any work of art has its value set by its reader/viewer
because you mentioned its assigned by the readers/watchers/consumers so if some people think ai is art its their choice and we should respect it no?
If animal farm was written now, and every audience who read it said "bro its headcanon" to any depth the reader tried to explore in the story
it wouldn't get the status it had gotten
Would any depth any author put in the story matter if none of the readers engaged with it at that level and the author didn't have any avenue to express what they did?
if some reader found depth in that work and 99% of the earths pop disagree does that put him in the right side?
There's no right and wrong side is what I mean
Each work of art connects with different people differently
if some reader found depth in animal farm and 99% of the earth disagreed, then does that remove any depth Animal farm had?
and I'm the one moving goal posts
and this exactly is that in different terms
Because each work of.art connectd with different people differently, the value they asskgn to each work is different
this conversation was about using death of the author fill gaps in a story, just because some people view that piece of work different doesnt erase all the blatant issues it has
Issues aren't objective
It's subjective
For the Stranger things, the most obvious explaination is smth you come up with in like 2 seconds of watching that part
What Duffer.brothers said is irrelevant
They don't have a say after their work is out to public
(in Death of the Author sense)
what did the author say anyway
Idrk man. Who cares about ST
I just had issues with calling engaging with media beyond what's spoonfed as headcanon and rolled with it
thats why we have plot twists
Agreed.
But we can analyze the story after it has completed and with that context
anyway that sort of stuff almost always happens when a piece of media is dogwater
you can always count of that happening
One man's treasure is another man's trash
I just engage with the person who views my trash as treasure and if I get a new perspective from them, that trash also becomes my treasure
(hasn't happened yet)
I so agree with this but probably not in the sense the original tweet implied
bro tryina hide hes a contrarian
Nah.
I like OP
how am I a contrarian
The only contrarian-esque opinion I have had recently is not liking Pluribus as much
(which literally EVERY other place and my irl friends I have talked the show with agreed)
didn't you like stranger things s5 more than the others
yea that checks out
9/10 -> 6/10 -> 5/10 -> 2/10 -> 4/10
Well, that is just a fault of the show then

It might be. What I filled in while watching is a better explanation that's not refuted by the show
I agree with your form of engagement. The problem is if the writers came out and confirmed something to be contrary to your ideas for the show. In which case, even if your idea is better than the writerâs solution, it still wouldnât be the reality
But the reality is what the show has
not what the writers said
Why put any value to what the writers say outside of the work regarding that work?
The intention doesn't matter if its not reflected in the show
I dont like external sources either but im not gonna argue against them
ill just call oda stupid and move on
Vivre card no
SBS someone was on the verge of convincing me with the reason that they are packaged in the volume and hence the final work would have both. But I hadn't fully been convinced so idk what my stance on that is
idk man I think once you reach the point where you gotta do mental gymnastics to decide of something is canon or not then its already over for you
No
đ
Main work canon
Outside work non canon
SBS is the only case where its still kinda main work
Otherwise its a flawless rule that worked every time
What if the author says something that doesnt contradict the show but expresses a specific theory is wrong
I just don't consider anything outside of original media
So like I can enjoy SBS
but like I don't bring SBS to have weight on narrative or discussion around narrative
Hmmm. Idk. That feels kinda like just going âLALALALLALA I CANT HEAAAAR YOU LALLALALAâ
It's just
If its important, incorporate it into main narrative
If its not important, then it can be mentioned outside and hence has no weight on the discussion of actual narrative
How do you feel about series including extra content as one shots? It being drawn art makes it different than a verbal statement in an sbs (which even makes its way into volumes)
?
I can judge it as a work and as a work in that universe but has no bearing in the actual narrative
like
Bleach Can't fear your own world has no bearing on what I talk about in actual narrative
It's extra content and extra story which exist
Let's move this to os since its reached OS territory
Dunno
Youâre right
Swag
Yeah Iâm not sure why I even try to properly articulate myself while Iâm at work lol
Itâs literally impossible and frustrating
Also, itâs a frustrating argument in general
Itâs easier to just agree with you
Cause youâre right that itâs fucking stupid for them to confirm something about the story on social media
And it doesnât matter what they have to say about the series outside of the confines of the work itself
Even if what they tell is good or bad, it just looks bad for them
if they tell smth which is amazing, it looks bad on them for not being able to tell them on actual story (Pretty Little Liars)
If they tell smth which is terrible, it looks bad on them for being stupid (Stranger things)
I don't even remember what Pretty Little Liars post ending Interview had said. I just remember it being an opposite but similar case to this
also sorry man
Itâs not your fault
Iâm just very hesitant to send messages that arenât entirely accurate to the meaning I want to convey
I almost never am able to do that on Discord
And in conversations like this one, itâs very easy to make short sighted comments
I just openly say this shit is stupid and move on

finished wicked 2 finally and then watched nuremberg
both bad
wicked 2 is particularly dogshit
all stinkers
tv shows in letterboxd?
oh yeah they had released it in theatre or w/e
yep
Ngl think ive only seen you talk about stuff you hate recently
Hopefully you watch something you actually like
Housemaid is out. Gonna be peak 
/s
tho fr. have seen people compare it to Gone Girl, which I remember enjoying
Sydney?
Yeah
Gotta peep him reading D.Goat-Man in #other-series
That's the only english movie I see coming in cinemas here for a while
I'm trying to watch lake mungo
and the others being like Anaconda (meh) and Spongebob movie
The lands of OS are beyond my gaze
Theres a new anaconda?
Jack Black movie
Its a remake acting as if the og movie existed in the verse
oh it was an old movie too?
Yeah
didn't know it was a remake thingy lol
How's 20 Years Later series
Yeah its a silly movie lol
given the new movie is part of a series or w/e?
I enjoyed the first one a lot
Looking foward to bone temple
I left the theater smiling so I think I was part of the audience they wanted
đ
Directly tied to the og 2
Yeah that one
It's v good
I dint know it was out
it takes time to setup the pieces
and some portion of those feel p jarring too
but once it's done, the pieces click and it just is so so so good
I see a Salman movie, Border 2
both meh
Ikkis looks okay
Might watch it just due to it being final Dharmendra performance. Rest in Peace
I'm not as experienced when it comes to foreign films
Dharmendra is like among the biggest and oldest star here
dharmendra died?
damn
You indian or from pakistan ?
Only asking because it feels like a lot of overseas folks chat in this channel
I think only me and Harsh are overseas people among the ones who are very active here
Vady's from Egypt but he's not as active nowadays
wombat is basically australian
He's literally from US tho
in terms of his intangible qualities
Idk how you're basically Australian
Is there a method I missed ?
ooo there's a Rebecca Ferguson movie cominig
In the near future, a detective (Chris Pratt) stands on trial accused of murdering his wife. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced A.I. Judge (Rebecca Ferguson) he once championed, before it determines his fate.
Chris Pratt on a serious role???
Interesting premise but Idk if they can make it well
I saw the trailers
good?
It looks eh ngl
sadge
wasting Rebecca Ferguson isn't a good choice
I don't think I have seen pratt in anything outside Marvel and Parks and rec
same lol
when am I gonna get that First Law adaptation starring Rebecca Ferguson
Reminds me of minority report
Anaconda was so bad
they did such a good casting choice with Rebecca Ferguson for that role
Been watching quite a lot of shit thatâs great and talking about it too, no one really cares as much
Ah yes future good movie I hope
and 0 development after that
R&M || man what this show does best is disillusionment. they reall know how to ruin everything and hammer in nihlisim in a funny way. i know people like to shit on it because of the fans and roiland, but this is geneuinely good material ||
I thought this movie got scrapped
did it
Its just i only ever see you talking about the bad stuff
i always forget this channel has users 
Uh⊠I donât know
I guess i miss the good stuff
In the ama he said its in production hell or smth
No movie then
I talk about stuff thatâs bad and also popular
Or maybe it was the devils one idr
Probably bsc tho
Devils is being adapted by Cameron
Really ?
apparently Cameron met with him and talked in great deal about how he's a big fan of his books and etc
like to the very specific
Ye
So⊠James Cameron, he of Terminator, Aliens, Titanic, and Avatar, yes, that James Cameron, has acquired the screen rights to The Devils. Hereâs the full press release: LIGHTSTORM ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF JOE ABERCROMBIEâS THE DEVILS LOS ANGELES, CA (June 2, 2025) â James Cameron announces that his company, Lightstorm, has purchased J...
Probably gonna do like Alita
get someone he trusts to direct
then it's never being made
Yea
After avatar 5
Yeah not happening
He's definitely just doing these
Till he retires
yeah he's gonna get someone else to direct it
Even with the best estimates of 2-3 years
Per the next two
He's gonna be pushing 80
Idk if he has the spielberg juice
To deliver a final one pre 80
Ngl I'm just likely to add this book to the reading list
The Devils?
or Best Served Cold
Maybe both
Best Served Cold is part of First Law Universe
and like standalone set after main trilogy (tho you can read it at anytime contrary to what @valid thunder says)
the order would be
First Law trilogy -> the Standalones -> Age of Madness Trilogy btw
Fantasy authors and these trilogy names always get a bit tricky
The Devils is a separate entry
not part of First Law Universe
and not really in the style of it either
First Law is more gritty, grimdark
Same universe then ?
Its just when you said separate entry i assumed it was the same universe.
Just the wording of it
Its all good but I'll have to check this out
First Law universe atleast
It's more grounded on fantasy side like ASOIAF
and he writes character and gives them voice really well
juba too
league of legends cooked his brain
Look bro Iâve been talking about good things but no one engages with me
So saying âI only talk about bad thingsâ is not fair I only talk about things that are bad and also popular
yeah good stuff like antimemetics and hitch hikers
which are the last two things I remember you talking positively about
the west has fallen
yall see the news netflix is already looking at shorted theater windows for their releases post wb buyout
frogs are being boiled
@mild seal campaign 4 has been so good, you caught up?
nah not really
been too depressed to focus on something that big
CR C4 ||I think the last episode I saw, that one wizard's family came in with ghouls and were gonna put that relic inside him||
ya
Ofcourse in theaters gang
mortal kombat probably not in theaters for me
honestly been watching ghostbusters again, i'm down for some good old 80s-90s cheesy. I just wish they didn't pick The worst fucking actors and got some new comedians đ
At some point you have to wonder who really wrote ts
Exactly
Its the only explanation I can think of as to why a show starts off strong and then ends horribly
It would have been easier to just say we ran out of budget
LMAO

An Socking Alternate Scene From The Final Battle of Stranger Things 5 Has Been Officially Released
Mannnnnn whatever
WAKE ME UP
SAVE MEEEEEEEE
@young compass the Mariko convo reminded me
what did you think of A Little Life
see spice it's not my fault
i get pinged asking if i like a little life
do you want me to just lie
AI slop...
WoT book 11 end || definitely the best book in a while, hopefully we can carry the momentum into brandon's books. anyway idk how on earth we're gonna deal with taim bro's a menace ||
it better get better for the suffering to be worth it
I think other than one part in the final book (which I liked) you would really enjoy it
@modern lichen dude these are so good looking editions
https://www.editorialalma.com/colecciones/clasicos-ilustrados
ooh nice
Damn the third one is nice
Yeah Iâve seen these before
So nice
not a single Lovecraft work edition good tho..

and this...
atleast Dream Cycle and Dagon look okay...
sooo good
you know spanish? 
Nope
not edited by the way, this is the version I got from the bookstore.
Those Spaniards know ball
had expected better from folio
This tho
God Emperor of Dune || https://www.foliosociety.com/row/god-emperor-of-dune||
this is good
why is this soooo much cheaper than the same version for Neuromancer? wasn't that one like 600?
Not limited edition
but also probably the art inside and etc weren't as good for the high price
like this 1q84 is at 175 pound https://www.foliosociety.com/row/1q84
and look at this
perfect
We have always lived in the castle. Wow

@limber urchin https://www.foliosociety.com/row/the-man-in-the-high-castle
this is both affordable and goood
man in the high castle
A clash of Kings. Not really a fan of the cover but that midbook splash page. Damn
whcih was the neuromancer edition again
can only find this rn https://www.foliosociety.com/row/neuromancer-william-gibson
which is like great and 105 pound
Thats a big boi
in price
Yes
folio society does a lot of limited edition of 400-500 pound
Maybe this is a version I was thiking of, not the 105 pound one you posted. I think Harsh originally sent the link a few weeks back and the price was crazy.
Nah they have to be trolling. ST END @half steeple ||https://fxtwitter.com/i/status/2007411554732687684||
Duffer brothers when you ask them ANYTHING about the show:
Quoting Stranger Things Memes (@SThingsMeme)
ïž
Duffer Brothers say it's up to the audience to decide whether Robin and Vickie are still together.
ïžïž
ïžïž"We want to leave it a little bit up to fans in terms of where these characters end up ultimately. Do Robin and Vickie stay together? Maybe, maybe not."
Really? I thought it was fine
hell naww
who buys ts
Unfocused but i thought robert had an awesome performance
Mickey 17 ||he's the best part of the movie but I did have trouble viewing the different clones of him as the same character with different (idk a better way to phrase this) character builder stat spreads. He played em so differently down to even the physical ticks and intonation.||
Mickey 17|| I know it was crazy you could tell which was which just from his body language ||
Totally agree on it being the best part
Mickey 17|| i think mark ruffalo was kinda overdoing it, but its still fun||
Mickey 17 ||it was impressive acting but I think bad world building of that makes sense||
Everything else in that movie lol
Hated it almost top to bottom, ||its like this cross section of Marvelisms and Wannabe Terry Gilliam wrapped in bad political satire that intrinsically drives me insane||
they would be good friends with oda
Yea them dudes didn't write shit atp
I wanna talk to the ghostwriters
Ghost writers vanished like the avatar
the ghost writers left after s1
Is that Björk?
LMAOOO
Yeah
Ghostwriters are the only explanation for how these shows start off so strong then just shrivel up
Yea i dont expect it to be perfect ya know?
But damn
ST End || Vickie just disappearing after finding out that aliens essentially exist and almost tore up her hometown with no wrap up is wild||
ST End ||Nvm the whole relationship she was in||

St end ||max somehow graduates after missing a whole lot of school and having shitty grades.||
St end ||also the military forgiving the gang for killing so many people and vanishing with zero explanation.||
ST End ||Either she pulled the lock in of the century or they gave her a pity diplomađđ||
Thats my biggest gripe icl
ST End ||At least one scene of them being detained and let go because "we cant let this get out to the public" was out of tje budget ig||
ST End ||no child left behind moment, even when they were barely at school.||
St end || will, lucas and Max's endings being:"you have a partner and lived happily ever after had ne dying. Nothing notable but that.||
st end || man the will wank is crazy, and you have people going to war for his character when robin is right there ||
ST End ||You found a relationship so happy ending lmaoo what a message to send||
st end || her coming out scene was also very good compared to his forced bs ||
ST End ||Mind you, without Robin he would've never found the courage to come out||
she got mad shafted
St end ||Dustin and will are the only ones with any though to their endings i feel. Besides the young adult gang.||
It looks like s5 isnt worth watching
I onlt watched the first part
St end ||vecna was hoping 80s homophobia would save his plan that was years in the making. He could have killed will back in ep 3 but just walked off after talking shit.||
ST End ||The older group having to schedule hanging out is hilarious and maybe the most realistic part of the ending lmaooo||
already knew it was gonna suck so I dndt even bother
ST End ||Had him dead to rights and decided to save homophobia in his back pocket lmaoo you could've ended this right there bruh||
St end ||if he killed him there max and Holly dont escape and eleven has no help.||
I catched some of the finale when my roomate was watching it
Didnt watch anything else
He called it peak fiction đ„
St end ||was not a fan of them randomly breaking up Jonathan and Nancy due to saying they met during traumatic circumstances. It felt like they wanted to end things neutral as possible. Like you can have people meet in traumatic ways and have a healthy relationship.||
Exactly
ST End ||True but the writing itself fumbled that because the most depth they gave their relationship was mostly trauma oriented||
you're in danger
St end ||yeah that was ok the writers for doing zero work. And deciding to give up. Just saying it was bad because they offloaded their negative emotions on the relationship itself is immature as hell.||
I agree completely
St end ||jonathan dint do anything to traumatize Nancy and neither did she to him outside getting them fired that one time. And that's something id be angry at my partner for..maybe a week or 3 at most.||
ST End ||They thought they did something with that "Will you not marry me" sceneđ||
St end ||that was very corny and trying to just subvert expectations to stomp the relationship out quick.||
ST End ||I wish D&D would just tell the truth: "We blew the budget on dumbshit and probably embezzled most of it and didn't have enough to 3D render any Demogorgons etc to helpđ||
St end ||I'd take that as an explanation over anything they said related to this finale at this point. I will not be watching whatever show they cook up next.||
FFFFFFUCK NO
Enough is enough
there is no way this is real đ

internet has become so shit đ
we got netflix adult swim before gta6
I've stopped eating these at work cuz I do not want to know what you put into a hotdog to keep it at 1.50 for decades on end
That thing is probably poison
is it adult swim?
What
i thought we already had adult swim on netflix, this seems more like Netflix OF đ
but they taste good
We all die of something
just joke đ
Kpop Demon Hunters brought too many kids into the ecosystem
lol so whats a better way to keep them
than to get them addicted to đœ đ
this is terrible all around
Oh Netflix tweaking out
they trying to recoup the cost of that WB purchase
speaking of which @foggy mirage they only want to do 17 day Theatrical windows đ
Dune is cooked đ
i dont think its all that cynical i imagine your ability to restrict a kid on netflix will be much easier than restricting a kid on the general internet
i actually think the way netflix moving is a bit predatory. They are creating verticals off their huge platform and undercutting other industries. They already took a big chunk of Crunchyroll in the past two years based on marketshare metrics.
sure all that for sure, i just dont think getting kids hooked on adult content is the angle
nah that i understand, i just meant that as a comment towards the Kpop demon hunters thing
but i think the bigger problem is this is still bad đ
i pay so much goddamn money to netflix to have my whole family on there
im hoping i wont have to pay for hbo anymore but i doubt it
what ever your paying for HBO
will be integrated into netflix cost in about 1-2 years
you can book that for sure
Sadly not suprised
yeah the hope is i get it for free or at least less money than the sum im already paying but probably wont happen
initially you will
if it does come for free then i save like 17 bucks a month or whatever hbo is
having my whole family on there is 47 goddamn dollars
You just starting ?
Lmao
We all pay for our subs
im the sucker paying for mine to support the ecosystem enough so others can pirate and its fine
Stand Proud you are strong
if i ever get laid off i might reconsider but as long as i got a good job i feel like i gotta
Skinimax is back lmfaoooooooo
I hope they get the entire backdoor milfs series
Lol wtf
Close enough welcome back Cinemax
This is just brazy
I donât want to hear any writing advice from Stephen king not because I think there would be no value in it but because whatever works for Stephen king is between him and god and that demon he made a pact with that lets him write 3000 words in one sitting daily.
Yeah idk how he writes that fast
lol yall gross
@half steeple @frank rivet @limber urchin real peak news
that's crazy
Legit insane to me
The finale just happened
And he doesnt want to dip
I really find people to be overhating on ST finale, but like this is insane to even me lmao
You got fished
Thankfully after I checked
But would have been insane
His agents can rest easy
Well not easy they gotta find him new work
Pluribus ep 6 ||Carol is so fucking dumb. She just rages, doesnt listen, and never asks what the one piece is
||
SO TRUE
Pluribus ep 7 ||this is a fucking ad
||
LMAO
you should see the breaking bad ones
i was like 16 when i watched Breaking Bad, i dont remember 
Watching the Batman and Iâm fucking throwing up
đ you don't like it
Pluribus ||and it worked on me I really fucking want4 gatorade now. The most refreshing drink ever made...||
Pluribus ep 7 ||thank good ness they use real sugar so it isn't unhealthy
||
Yeah gotta be a first
better be throwing up from how good it is
watch your fucking mouth
he loves it
A confederacy of dunces ch 5 ||igneous is too funny man, so crazy to think this book came out in 1980. Dude nailed the neckbeard/incel archetype ||
Real shame the author was never able to write anything else
Obviously my king
But I meant
I NEED PATTINSON AS DCU BATMAN
The Batman is in my top 5 movies easily
I best not see Nate Mann or ballsack skarner or whatever his name is as my Batman
Fucking rat men
This will never happen
So get that out your head immediately
I feel bad for dcu batman people gonna be screaming at them like crazy
Dc schedule this year
just let reeves' batman be its own universe
I just really donât want those 2 actors
Where
In superman
Lmao
Or that he'd be in peacemaker for some random reason
But crazy stretch
I just donât know who Iâd want to play Batman in dcu
reeves was producer for clayface right?
Aside from Pattinson USA USA USA
I think?
Is James Gunn and reeves doing the Grayson Todd movie
Or is it reeves n someone else
Yeah producer and involved in the casting
From what we've seen
do you not see any value in maintaining the grounded tone of pattinson's character start to finish? Do you only look at these characters as table dressing for your little cameo movies
I like my Batman both fantastical and grounded
Btas my favorite Batman
Thatâs just me h tbh I
Tho
Fuckin phone
well reeves' vision is already a world without the fantastical. Do you not see any value in that vision?
they should cast a new character for your grounded fantastical ideal
Dcu batman won't be grounded
I do but I think they could do more than just grounded. Multiple layers
Gunn already cited who's run inspired dcu batman
But I still love reeves vision
you're changing the artistic vision of a creator at that point in order to satiate your desire for fanservice crossovers
lmfao
Idk who Iâd want to be the dcu one I just know I donât want it to be the two most popular ones
Dennis o neil batman
I think Pattinson as an actor would make a phenomenal grounded and fantastical Batman
I just REALLY donât want Mann or other guy
Or elordi I really donât wanna see that
I doubt its gonna be mann
pattinson would make a great anything since hes just a great actor altogether.
Doesnt mean hes the only great actor that exists
Mann
Havenât seen people want that one dude
Jensen ackles? Idk names well
In a long time
whos the guy that plays thad in blue mountain state? My irl friend wants him but I think hed suck

I think Alan would make a great captain atom or Shazam
Or mongul
Prolly wouldnât be used as Susan again
Are you fucking joking
Alan can play anyone else just not batman
wonder woman đ„
but he should play wonder woman
If he can rock the suit
Today just been horrible
Ok James announce Ben Schwartz plastic man thatâs all
I do wonder when weâll see more big castings
very very soon..
Wonder woman already confirmed
Batman too
The teen titans
The metal men
The rest are up in the air for now
The writer did supergirl and then WW right
Then TT after?
I like metal men was joking
Im more interested in swamp thing
My fav chars in DC are p much B-D? Ish tier
But the metal men is nice to have a lore and supporting cast
I heard the swamp thing show from a few years back was nice
Its getting a movie
Ik
Its just in development
Just saying I heard the show was good
wait how is batman confirmed?
Or do you mean gunn already decided but its not revealed yet
Red
We have a name for the movie
A director
The script is supposedly done
The only thing missing is a batman casting
At this point
Saw the metal men in one of the comics I been reading
so you think they already solidified an actor?
Cool guys
From talks with some actors
They are actively hunting
For a batman
oh thats what I thought you meant by "confirmed"
I think that jack ryan guy
that theyre already confirmed/decided
Said they rejected him
jack ryan as batman wouldve been funny
thats probs the one we talked about earlier
I think so
đ
I wouldnât hate Alan as Batman but I think heâd be better else where
Biggest question
Nightwing
Not gonna be dick grayson
Streets gon light up no matter the casting
Thatâs what Iâm saying pimp habibi
crazy that there still hasnt been a nightwing
Not unless you watch that bad show
But dcu should have a nightwing
And a red hood
Wonder what the titans lineup will be
Likely going for classic
Aka the one most people know
Speedy, Donna, and uhh
Gunn if you can hear me please James Gunn
Yeah
I just got hbo max
Green lantern thats about it
yes
Idr where I saw it but apparently thereâs an untitled show
IF so
Wonder if itâs an animated show
Or maybe jimmy olsen
How good?
But that seems extremely quick
@wooden swift
very good
Any other good hbo max shows
Wire is easily top 3 all time
I am thinking Succession too
My personal favourite
And maybe curb your enthusiasm because of that one meme
im prob gonna start with wire
Pasto can speak on that, @nova zephyr @scenic terrace can speak on that
And also fats
I didnt know that
And game of thrones
Ive never watched that yet
The only hbo max show ive watched of late is The Pitt which was a 10/10
Michael K Williams and Idris Elba have knockout performances
Chernobyl is good and quick he's
Pinging me when Iâm trying to sleep smhâŠ
Good night
quick hes?
I don't think that's true
yes*
Yes*
The Wire is goatâd
When you walk through the garden....
Shoulda said didnât he rank it last?
I don't recall
HOLY SHIT
UNCUT GEMS IS ON HBO MAX??
Im gonna totally watch that tmrw night bruh
Its been on my to-watch list forever
Kid in a candy shop
I think I watched 1 or 2 episodes of that before dropping
Is the Pitt good
Yes
Yes
Might watch that next
I heard the Pitt is top 2 most accurate and realistic medical shows of all time. Up there with "ER" which I havent watched yet.
It made me, a physics major, want to go into PreMed
Greatest TV of 2025
Funnily enough the protagonist of The Pitt was a main character in ER
which i would never actually do
Adam did you dislike wire season 4?
Noah Wyle my goat
wait really wtf
Read it if you read books lol
yea
Adam I just denied from insurance today can you fix me my king
I didnât dislike it but I thought it was worse than seasons 1-3
Yeah this was it smfh
I got to like halfway through s3 then stuff happened
Goddammit Adam
But still good
I knew I wasnât tripping
No, sadly youâll probably need to fight your insurance company and be on the phone for hours
man I could have watched Succession instead of Stranger things...
I watched blacklist s2 and Wednesday s2 over my holiday break. Thatâs something I guess
Blacklist is insanely good
The one with the old guy and the girl right?
I forget the actors names
lol
James Spader one yea
good actor. Good first season
good second season too...
And then it returns to old TV issues
Tho ig new TV too given ST
The Wire season 1 late ||https://youtu.be/P3i36ybA8Ms?si=P6VTH0Tm1WwgzLwy||
