those guys are still kicking? I swear I haven’t even heard of them since before COVID
Yeah, most of the GamerGate shit is still present
The reason you don’t hear as much about them is that a large contingent have made the leap from Chud to Fash and become even louder, angrier, and more hateful
iirc the main kia guy had a change of heart and tried to close the sub but admins stepped in and
deserves our nickname for it.Lol that is awful.

I like the idea of Comcast buying 1000 fake tickets to the movie they distributed and sold tickets for just so they can leave good reviews for themselves on the site they own, which is just a review aggregator.
I think the real conspiracy here is that Christopher Nolan is good at making long movies that manage to remain visually engaging (but with often with weak ass plots and mid writing) and runs them during the summer when everyone wants to be in an air conditioned movie theater.
It was pretty good tbh. Just saw it in theater yesterday with my friend
You recommend it? I’m gonna see it anyway lol, but it looks like it’s got that typical Nolan sheen to it of being gray and bleak, Agamemnon’s armor looked like a ancient Greek batman larp, plus apparently skips over the cyclops/nobody moment? I wish he knew how to have some fun with things, but he’s effectively Tim Burton’d himself into a kind of, now dated, sterile style
It’s a cool idea to make Agamemnon such an imposing presence, but literally every time he appears he looks like some goofy plastic mannequin. The cyclops is also a cool visual since they made him far bigger than you’d assume, but the fact he looks like Mr frog’s dad kinda ruined it.
Memetic cognito hazard below that will fuck with your ability to watch Nolan movies.

Someone pointed out to me how all Nolan movies do the “walk and talk” exposition dump as seen in other hacky media like The Westwing and now I can’t unsee it. He basically handholds the audience through the entire movie, explaining everything while characters move from scene to scene, set to set. Since he has a ginormous Hollywood budget for special effects, it makes it seem like there’s more substance to his films than there actually is. He tricks you into thinking good visuals means good dialog, plot, and acting, but he’s actually giving a PowerPoint presentation.
It allows him to make movies that are excessively long, but since they constantly have new visuals to look at, it feels shorter than it is.
I dunno man in one of the Batmans he extrajudicially extradites a Chinese national using a rope tied to a plane in flight and that was dope as fuck. Or that shit where he made a bigass rotating hallway to put a fight scene in. I think he got tricked by a physicist into paying for supercomputers to calculate what black holes actually look like.
Yeah that was the problem with the ending of Interstellar, mcconaughey‘s character just straight up tells the audience what they’re looking at, rather than letting the audience figure it out via visual clues.
My other conspiracy is that Jonathan Nolan is secretly the heart in Christopher Nolan’s films and the better rounded writer and artist. Without his brother I think Christopher gets lost in the technical sauce and lacks a deeper sense of humanity.
It’s a cold take. His best movie, the Prestige, was written entirely by Jonathan
Meanwhile, all I know about Odyssey is that it was filmed in occupied Western Sahara.
You’d think that alone would be enough to get the fascists in favor of it.
That would require them to know anything outside of what the algorithm tells them to know
It’s so funny to see reactionaries putting pins and strings between CEOs and corporations and their minds being blown about all the connections
They are like little babies. They don’t even understand the economic system they exist within
Chuds think Jeff Bezos is a communist.
They are not capable of rational thoughts, or thoughts at all.
I know Nolan fanboys are diehard, but not “shelling out for 1,000 tickets” diehard.
Although I just realized, par for the course this is reactionaries doing some
as conservative authors/publishers/megadonors are notorious for using “gifted” copies of books to pad sales numbers and get their slop on the best sellers lists despite nobody reading them.Christopher Nolan? The guy who directed the Bane aeroplane scene in The Dark Knight Rises (and to my knowledge, nothing else)???
For you
That having to buy a ticket to review a movie has been a thing for a few years now lmao
Sorry that, that was the only thing I noticed when reading this, I just really hate when people act like thats a new thing when its been the way to review movies on there for a while
“I only just found out about this today, which means it only just came into effect today, because I have the object permanence skills of a young toddler.”
Do they have an issue with a share holder throwing their weight around to bolster one of their investments?
What’s funny is that these losers were cheerleading mass union-busting in the gaming industry and widespread shuttering of indie studios after acquisition by Microsoft. They love capitalism when it’s putting the screws to the people who make their treats.

unfalsifiable orthodoxyit’s true, the woke marxists have all the money in the world to do whatever they want, while poor capitalists suffer 😔
That subreddit had a regular who killed his dad over culture war bs
Link?
Edit: original source was apparently fucked so here’s the Reddit thread discussing it. They source the same source so don’t go to it.

Link is blocked in the EU due to GDPR reasons. That website must do some fucked up shit in the background for that to happen
Well, shit. Guess I’ll just post the Reddit thread link instead.
Yes they changed it so they could leave 1000 reviews as opposed to not changing it and writing 1,000,000 reviews, you are so smart.
It has to be a conspiracy, because otherwise it would mean I’m being a little pissbaby about a movie that I hate turning out to be popular, and obviously I can’t accept that.
It’s literally even more troopslop than Gladiator and they’re still calling it woke?
Two words: Elliot Paige.
i was going to watch it because it triggers chuds, but now knowing that elliot’s presence is all it takes, i might resume not caring at all about the movie. lol
My opinion of Odyssey was it was okay
