Super Mario Bros is a 90’s dystopian cyberpunk masterpiece. If you’re complaining that is wasn’t “true” to the interlaced 8-bit game you’ve totally missed what makes that movie work. It’s a pretty fucking bizarre take, I’ll grant you that. The new movies were great, but they lack the weirdness and have been polished into boring lumps of nostalgia that are quickly forgotten. Nobody that watched the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie as a child forgot it.

I’ve made these movies a collection on my Plex/Jellyfin server. There’s also The Rundown and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

This is way too coherent.

Cab Calloway was a legendary band leader in his own right, far beyond his minor role in a Saturday Night Live sketch turned cult classic. His picture belongs in the encyclopedia for skat.

The band was playing a bunch of songs before the brothers arrived, the brothers just performed the “last two songs”. We see Cab Calloway warming up the crowd with one of those other songs. It was all for a good cause and I’m sure the outlaw nature of the duo was no surprise to anyone. We as the audience are “in on it”, seems safe to assume the on-screen audience is kind of “in on it too”. “Orange whip? Orange whip? … Three orange whips.”

I really thought this was an avante guard 70s porn parody of Captain Hook and Peter Pan. Then, I realized that was a shovel, not a pointy green hat.

It’s probably like getting a rescue breath from a blue whale.

As if that stops police from using it to target randos or prosecutors from using it in court. The executive branch REALLY loves its junk science.

What is good natured about this?

You’re a bully. I hope you find some non-toxic relationships someday.

As that dude would say, “Get Fucked!” A good prank has everyone laughing, including the person being pranked. This is just being shitty to someone and laughing at their plight in dealing with it. This is a shitty fucking “prank” and I wouldn’t count anyone that treated me this way, for any reason, as a friend. If someone has to chase down the victim and explain the joke/prank, then it wasn’t a prank.

Here’s what wild about that. Olympus Mons is so massive and with a gentle enough slope that, across most of it’s topology a person standing on it, might not even know they were on a mountain. At about 22km high and about 600km wide, you could (very roughly on average) expect to walk about 13.6 meters in order to rise or fall 1 meter (~7% slope). Another source puta the slop at %5 (1:20). Those are both on the same order of magnitude of slope as a handicap ramp.

So much safer to go one album at a time using Picard. Picard makes it easy to go down the list of a disorganized directory, identify most things automatically, allow in depth review and modifications to what Picard came up with, and standardize file naming. I’ve tried to let programs like Lidarr and beets automate it, but they always ends up causing more and more complex problems to discover and solve after awhile. Music releases are complex and sources are diverse, using distinct standards of form and format. It’s not a problem that can realistically be solved for my entire music library without the guiding hand of a librarian. I could listen to my library for over six months without repeating, even 1 album out of a 100 mis-tagged or misidentifyied could take me years to discover.

I do like to automate the less critical and more machine oriented library tasks like adding genres tags, replaygain, and lyrics as you do. Just not things like the metadata tags, file naming, or album art (embedded or otherwise).

For me the wildest aspect of the Hyperion portals was that there was essentially only one portal. Hyperdimensional godlike artificial super-intelligences swept the portal across each doorway like some sort of cosmic lighthouse, mimicking the theory that there only exists a single electron in the universe that travels backwards and forwards in time to be every electron for everything everywhere all and once. Also, those articlfical intelligences shared their environs with other older beings referred to as “Lions and tigers and bears.”

I don’t want to know about Sam Neill’s controveries.

This is one of those movies that I feel like I’ve already seen because I watched a trailer in a theatre that one time. Genuinely, my first reaction to this post was, “Didn’t I just watch that movie, how can it be releasing in November?”

I think you mean, “if the grass was even more over grown and had a diversity of wildflowers to support a thriving biodiverse meadow ecology and the light was broken so that we might see some fireflies while we ball by the full moon light this might be perfect.”

This is a non-sensical question. On a social media service YOU are the product. You’re characterizing the content as the product. But the content is merely the advertisement or bait for users, who are the real product, being sold to advertisers and countless other organizations. Why do you think reddit started charging for API access? Same goes for ads on Facebook, Google services, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Kind of ironic that a flim that fictionalized several scenes (mostly anachronistic clothing and traditions), would inspire the first use of the word documentary via one of its reviews.
