Thank you, BoP and Bob Ross.ForgedReality wrote on Sep 20, 2024, 01:58:Or, as the late, great Bob Ross said "Gotta have opposites, light and dark and dark and light, in painting. It’s like in life. Gotta have a little sadness once in awhile so you know when the good times come. I'm waiting on the good times now.”
But on a darker note, does anyone else feel completely alone right now?
ForgedReality wrote on Sep 20, 2024, 01:58:I am alone about 95% of the time. I rarely feel lonely. That said, the things which are happening which make you fell alone are probably the same things making me have to fight the urge to go on a killing spree. I'm not sure which feeling is worse to have.
... does anyone else feel completely alone right now?

Burrito of Peace wrote on Sep 19, 2024, 18:50:I watched it the other day, and thought it was pretty good. It knows what it is and leans into that. I wasn't totally happy with the cast either, but Cate was a lot better than I was expecting and was fun to watch. I would watch BL again before I watched something like Prometheus or Life.
I just finished watching Borderlands and....it wasn't bad? I went in expecting Diary of the Dead levels of awfulness given all the mouth foaming, rage frothing comments I read about it.
It's passable enough and hit most of the notes of the first game. Casting was kinda meh but not community theatre level. It's not like any of the games have been masterworks of artistic accomplishment.

At the time that I saw it I surmised that based on the 3000 reviews of it being the worst movie of all time, my expectations of just how bad it was going to be weren't met at all, so maybe I was a victim of reverse hype? I felt the badness was massively overblown. Not that it wasn't terribly cast with weak script and dialogue; but I can think of 10 worse movies I have seen just this year alone.

I thought the Mickey trailer looked kinda interesting, but a January release date can only mean the studio thinks a steaming pile.
