Maybe pushing your games to be as expensive and hard to produce as possible is a bad thing? Maybe pushing your workforce into uselessness and also not investing in them can turn out poorly?

Not only that, but "Superman can do anything" ignores the fundamental question of the character: what right has he to do anything? He has no authority or mandate, just ability. How can he approach conflicts? Should he? Which of these problems can he actually solve? Is it worse to try or do nothing?

I am not near any of the theaters where this is playing, but I will definitely keep an eye out for when an option is available.

At this point, random indie people on YouTube for free is the best streaming service. Consistent novelty, high quality, with none of the annoyances of budget media.

Cryptozoo and My Entire High School Falling into the Sea (same filmmaker) are under the radar classics. Indie masterpieces like that are coming out all the time and going ignored.

I'm surprised how rare it is to see this kind of breakdown. YouTube is a new proving ground for indie film. For my money random people on YouTube are the best streaming service available, but the wider culture isn't having that discussion.

This meme post is the first time I've heard that the movie exists at all, so yes.

I, for one, am loving Onyx Path's phase of "oh just let Larry Blamire do whatever he wants." Hoping someone in the film industry follows suit.

When he talked about playing regularly with 30 or 40 people it couldn't be more clear he's full of it, even apart from that statement being used to justify AI.
