I'm reminded of how Nintendo's release of Animal Crossing New Horizons is so very suspiciously apropos.

I had to keep going into the office during all this but my fiancee spent two months unemployed and has over 400 hours clocked into her game. I'm incredibly jealous because I had quarantine plans to finally watch things I haven't and nothing changed for me except I get out of work an hour early

I have seen a person in the wild wearing Bitcoin T-Shirt. I actually had to double take that one.

I once saw a guy driving near UCLA in a McLaren with a Bitcoin-themed vanity plate. I can't recall the last time someone so transparently or efficiently showed the world everything it needed to know about them.

David Koepp has departed from Indiana Jones 5. This was after he returned to writing it after for a time having been replaced by Lawrence Kasdan's son. Disney still has the movie scheduled for two years from next month, a very reasonable production timeline.

Actual Emmy winner who essentially has a career entirely on the strength of "she's Kate Spade's niece and is Quirky"

Like, no, this is what she deserves

e: I don't even necessarily think Brosnahan's a bad actress, she's fine I guess, I'm just incredibly loving sick of this whole thing where art and media are just a way for "high society" families to wave their dicks at everybody. Everyone pretends you're allowed to make art or media if you're poor, but if you try to do that as a job without being uber-rich, you will starve because not a drat soul on Earth will ever look at anything you make; the pretense is just there to create more bodies to throw into the below-the-line meat grinder, if people know how to play the game, and create "lolcows" like Neil Breen or Tommy Wiseau or Chris-chan out of people who don't.

The people who have come from humble backgrounds and managed to genuinely succeed, without caveats, in media and art are essentially lottery winners, they're such extreme outliers. Though I will say, it's sort of funny that Raimi directed this because he's, to my knowledge, one of those outliers; his career basically hinges on him getting extremely, absurdly lucky with a horror movie made on pocket change.

I don’t have much of an opinion on Brosnahan herself other than I caught an episode of Marvelous Ms. Maisel that my roommate had on and the fictional stand-up within was worse than some open mics I’ve been to.

Every subsequent problem from 1 on basically boils down to Mrs. Maisel self-sabotaging herself in a really obvious way

I keep expecting the show to get super dark any second every time I see it, I don't know why. Maybe because Lenny Bruce is in it.

Just push the movie another half a year. We know this ain't going the VOD route unless Nolan develops a virus to go with the file that either auto-calibrates your TV for P E A K C I N E M A or blocks you from watching if your screen is less than 55".

What is the wider context or intended tone of this...series? I don't fully understand what Quibi makes, "short-form narrative content" in some way. It's an anthology Twilight Zone thing, but like 5 minutes long?

I'd forgive whatever this is if it's intended as intentional satire, some kind of comment on people's self-destructive addiction to capitalism. "I refuse to give up this golden arm I don't need, even if it's actively killing me. I want to be buried with it because I guess you can take your wealth with you."
