I gotta be honest, I don’t see how this is different than all the times a movie preview would premiere on MTV or some other cable/satellite channel. Game trailers and gameplay previews premiered on G4/TechTV quite a bit for a good run there. Also, it’s on Netflix a whopping six hours earlier than YouTube. That’s not a paywall, so much as a paybump. I hate that I’m white-knighting for capitalists here, but there are things to be outraged about and this ain’t one of em.
It’s honestly my favourite to revisit. I’ll put on TNG episodes that I love, but TOS is the one where I can throw on any episode and have a good time in one way or another. I love the balance of retro camp paired with that era’s version of the philosophical stuff the show is known for. And the colours on the bluray pop so much more. I love the later shows (tbf I’m still only on DS9), but I do find TOS to be the most visually pleasant to look at.
For what it’s worth, I found Star Trek dreadfully boring as a child. The trailers for '09 did nothing for me either because it seemed to be all references to a show I didn’t watch. Wasn’t until everyone at school was talking about how fun it was that I finally saw it. I had a blast. It made me want to understand more about the lore. ‘I’d heard about Kirk and Spock my whole life, but who the hell is Bones?’ Etc. Baby-stepped up to Wrath of Khan. ‘Oh wait, this is a sequel to an old episode? Well I gotta see that episode.’ Watched that and found the show way more gripping at an older age, so I went back and did TOS from the beginning. Then on to TNG and so on…
Slop still serves a purpose.
Her secret is probably living her life and not being overly concerned about others’ opinions of her. We should all be so blessed.
I unironically adore it and have the vinyl.
I look forward to buying this for $5 like I did the last one.
I feel like this doesn’t account for people who play older games. Like I’m currently playing the God of War reboot. That would count as playing something that’s outside the current top 20, but still very-much AAA.
Yeah, ‘PDF file’ gets used a lot.
Another stunning performance by Rich Evans.
If you don’t want these discussions to continue, you should probably learn to scroll past a meme without engaging in said discussion and keeping it alive.
James Buchanan was a queer US president, and fairly open about it among his peers. Real piece of shit though.
I think the point was that a 9lb cat doesn’t need 2-3lbs of food. Beans is choosing not to share.
They still say this about people who say they saw UFOs because they’re no more credible now than they were then. They just chat together online more now and refuse to read reports correctly.
I was disappointed with this film ultimately, but the dog’s performance was wonderful. Really wish the author gave the story another pass or two though.
It’s slippery in here, Cooper.
I still play Stellar Track on my Atari 2600. Great fun.
On one hand, the censorship was always silly. On the other hand, the current trends in Germany probably mean they’re rolling back their Nazi regulations for all the wrong reasons.
