Movie Rec: The Amateur. I just caught an early screening. Rami Malek uses his nerd brain to exact revenge on international criminals, rather than his fists. A refreshing change of pace in a post John Wick world.

Is it just me or has Liberation Day become too commercial?

26 years ago today, Fabio took a goose to the honker on the inaugural ride of Apollo’s Chariot at Busch Gardens. On the rollercoaster of life, we are all Fabio. #NeverForget #GooseGate

UX FAIL! All audiobook apps need to kill their slider. Does anyone actually slide forward or backward in audiobooks? Or, like me, is it always an accident that makes you lose your place in a 14 hour book? At least hide the thing so it isn’t on your phone’s Lock Screen. So dumb. So obvious.

So … CVS now has the $1.99 candy behind a locked door. A. Fuck CVS. B. Fuck shoplifters. C. Fuck this shitty world where even the tiniest pleasures become less accessible every day. Also, $1.99 is still too much. You should wait for the buy 2, get 1 free deal … and a guy in a red vest to show up to unlock the door.

Zoinks! Netflix has ordered a live-action Scooby Doo series from Berlanti Productions (Arrowverse, Riverdale). Does this scream “Ruh roh!” or is a Riverdale/Wednesday approach to Scooby over-Doo?

Death of a Unicorn is meh. I had high hopes based on the trailer, but was underwhelmed. It would be a good Netflix movie, but it’s not good compared to real movies. And yes — I’m also saying that Netflix movies are trash, with few exceptions. I expect it to be #1 on streaming after a very short theatrical run.

Longest dotcom I’ve ever seen that isn’t a joke. You’ll work up an appetite just typing in the URL. QR code? What’s a QR code?

Recommended read: Careless People. The author has been blocked by Meta NDA arbitration from promoting the book, so I’m doing my part. Also, Mark Zuckerberg is a son of a bitch and nobody should use his products.

And the Academy award for worst streamer goes to … Hulu! For cutting off a show that predictably and reliably runs long every year.

OpenSea’s trade volume has plummeted 98%(!!!) since its May 2022 peak—and it deserves to drown. Let’s break it down: 1️⃣ In a race to the bottom with Blur (also vile), OpenSea killed NFT royalties, gutting one of the format’s core selling points. 2️⃣ Without royalties, artists lost a key revenue stream—and a major incentive to keep promoting their past work. AKA the ongoing engagement that fueled trading and rewarded collectors. 3️⃣ With past work no longer generating income, artists were forced into churn-and-burn mode, cranking out more, more, more. 4️⃣ The market became oversaturated. Everything devalued. 5️⃣ Trade volume on OpenSea nosedives 98%. An own-goal. A self-inflicted wound that infected the entire market. 2% left until they're where they deserve to be. https://protos.com/opensea-goes-multichain-after-98-drop-in-volume/

The MCU is in desperate need of a makeover, and it looks like the Fantastic Four will bring some style to the Marvel mix. Now let’s hope the story is good. At least they don’t fight a cloud in this one. I think..? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzMo-FgRp64

A M3GAN sequel was inevitable, but an interesting premise for one was not. I’m cautiously optimistic about the direction promised here. Plot: Two years after M3GAN's rampage, her creator Gemma resorts to resurrecting her infamous creation in order to take down Amelia, the military-grade weapon who was built by a defense contractor who stole M3GAN's underlying tech. https://youtu.be/DTAYuj8K7YE?si=8wkRM7kfOwUd2d6P

Severance is starting to give me LOST vibes. I hope that all of these "cool" mystery things they're setting up have a satisfying payoff. Which means the writers need to know what that payoff is going to be upfront. Unlike a JJ joint where they had no idea and didn't care. https://media.tenor.com/ZVVJy0xcTw4AAAAC/lost

Movie rec! I caught an early screening of Companion. It’s sci-fi horror, funny, dark, and deals with tech+social topics. I don’t want to give anything away, so go in early and blind if you can. If you need a teaser, this creates intrigue without outright exposing the plot. https://youtu.be/PhcLjiVtgco?si=JZ90NMyYlNor1pOg

Am I the only one who’s tired of watching a TV episode then immediately seeing the cast & crew recap of what I just saw? If I’m not the audience this is for I don’t know who the hell is. Streamers: this comes off as pretentious as hell.

I’ve worked so hard to keep Mr. Beast out of my life. I’ve never watched one of his videos and never will. But, now, every time I turn on my Amazon Fire TV the first thing I see is his stupid haircut and his shit eating grin promoting his show. Fuck the algorithms and the creatures of the algorithms.
