  • How Karl Urban Quietly Conquered Geekdom

    Jump

  • I thought the Dredd remake was really good and I normally do not like American comic book movies. I would even argue the remake felt a bit more realistic than the original (which was decent, but not great).

  • "A new report from Nielsen and published by Variety reveals that nobody is watching the most recent trio of core Star Wars films"

    Jump

  • There was also a lot less on demand content / media / entertainment available back then. There were no social networks, no mass market smartphones, the internet itself was extremely primitive by modern standards, gaming was a lot more niche.

    I was never a huge Star Wars fan, but I of course saw the prequel trilogy in theatres because it was a big deal back then.

    I haven't seen any of the subsequent Star Wars movies except for Rogue One, which I enjoyed a lot. From what I've heard most of the new Star Wars fare is aimed at fans and doesn't really push beyond the barrier of the Star Wars concept.

  • Shocking Dark (aka Terminator 2) (1989)

    Jump

  • Dull? What in the world!

    It is unbelievably good. The unique crossover (show me another movie that does Aliens X Terminator 2)! Horror sci-fi in venice!

  • Why Darren Aronofsky thought an AI-generated historical docudrama was a good idea

    Jump

  • I tend to be perhaps less anti-AI than most here (albeit I am probably even more distrustful of the large companies in this space), but just from watching the trailers, I found the AI generated scenes to be extremely distracting.

    The first association for me is some shitty YT video slop or scheme.

    I haven't watched it though and I am not going to watch it.

  • Bethesda could have made a Fallout movie or TV show a decade ago, but "credit to Todd Howard," they refused Hollywood's offers until they found "the right partner"

    Jump

  • I didn't like the series, mostly because it was very vanilla. I would have much preferred if it was based on A Boy and his Dog, many of the 80s Italian Mad Max clones (2019, After the Fall of New York), Neon City and even something like Turbo Kid.

    An arguement can be made that to make social commentary effective you need a bit more subtly.

  • Experience on torrenting and hoarding with Raspberry Pi?

    Jump

  • Oh, I've been updating the SBCs. Although my current Pi 4 has been running for over 5 years, don't see a need to update to Pi 5.

  • Experience on torrenting and hoarding with Raspberry Pi?

    Jump

  • It works great, I've been using a Pi SBC for torrenting for nearly 10 years now (in addition to NAS, a media server, Pi-Hole and more).

    I would strongly recommend going with DietPi. It has a great set of custom CLI management tools, very active developers and a relatively large community (150K+ installatios active last quarter). It's based on Debian for ARM so it has a solid foundation.

  • Planet of the Vampire Women (2011)

    Jump

  • This is really good if you like sci-fi action b-movies.

  • “Yo what?” LimeWire re-emerges in online rush to share pulled “60 Minutes” segment

    Jump

  • Something like Qbittorrent-Nox or rTorrent/ruTorrent for Gnutella would be great.

  • “Yo what?” LimeWire re-emerges in online rush to share pulled “60 Minutes” segment

    Jump

  • The use of Limewire in this context seems to be more of an interesting news novelty.

    That being said, in any democratic leaning country that truly values freedom (in the real sense, not the polemical American sense), the distribution of such media would not be an issue and you wouldn't have to resort to Limewire, a torrent would suffice or even another broadcast TV network would air with violation of copyright.

  • lost art 😔

    Jump

  • You can stream popular torrents. It can be challenging with more niche content (unless you're on private trackers), but you're not going to find niche content streams in the first place.

    Jump

  • For me personally, the OG pirating was buying bootleg VHSs/CDs/DVDs. But torrenting/P2P was the first mass scale digital piracy method.

  • lost art 😔

    Jump

  • It's still somewhat big in certain regions, even younger people torrent (although streaming piracy is more popular).
