I’ve never heard of anyone getting arrested for removing DRM. DRM removal tools are actively sold online with no crackdown. However people keep getting busted here and there for piracy, and piracy sites keep getting shut down.

I think at the end of the day if the copyright holders are getting paid they don’t really care, and the police cares about piracy way less than they do.

Only one so far, Black Bag. Great movie although you have to pay close attention or you might feel confused by the end.

I don’t think she reads any responses or anything

What’s the scam?

Isn’t this political?

Great video though. My favorite type of propaganda film by far. Down with fascism and racism!

I thought it was really good and if it overcame those shortcomings it would have been ever better.

Eh IDK I think this movie is gonna have great word of mouth. Wouldn’t be shocked if it ends up making even more money this upcoming weekend.

I think they’d be better off just airing reruns of Suits on NBC, or at least using it as a lead-in for Suits LA

Rebased

Mastodon

Akkoma

Soapbox

I also have Lotide accounts but I don’t use them very much. I also have an emergency alt on Nostr which federates via Mostr but IDK if y’all are counting that as being part of the Fediverse.

Also Kbin was superceded by Mbin

Have y’all heard the dubs? What do y’all think?

AI has the potential to give us some really good dubs IMHO.

This!

The Eternals - Could have been amazing if they weren’t trying to tell like six origin stories AND THEN a team-up story in the same film

Honorable mentions:

The Marvels - The first act was some of the best post-Endgame stuff in the MCU, the bickering between the three leads really reminded me of how the Avengers fought in the first Avengers film. It really was a shame that they just said “sorry” in a cornfield and released all the tension right at the end of the first act.

The Substance - Had the potential to be a timeless classic but it forgoed poignancy for 40 extra minutes of absurdist, overindulgent and redundant body horror

The New Mutants - They should have never hired the director of The Fault In Our Stars for a movie like that

LEGO: The Adventures Of Clutch Powers - Too much setup without payoff

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair - HORRIBLE pacing really hurts this movie even though the story, atmosphere and worldbuilding were incredible

Ohhhh that’s right cuz she uses #Peertube and #P2P chatrooms. Makes sense, although I think Fediverse Chick is, at least, working alone if not a scammer.

What’s up with the Fediverse Chick thing? Seems like a scam with no catch. Pretty weird.

Even AI costs money.

A Different World is known by many as “black Friends” or “Friends before Friends”, so maybe Netflix wanted a whiff of the hype that Warner Bros. got when they upscaled Friends to 4K

Oh. Yeah I looked it up and there’s actually a fan 4K restoration of Song Of The South on Archive.org.

Well for what it’s worth Gone With The Wind is one of my favorite classic movies so maybe I’m in that same boat. Just got the Blu-Ray before the Mexico tariffs hit.

That sounds pretty cool actually

We should have contracts that mandate minimum number of seasons for all of this.

Yeah if I ever ran a streaming service that made original content I’d put in a stipulation that if a cancellation order is made, the producers still get to make a proper end to the series in the form of a final season or a special or movie. How Netflix especially treats their original projects feels like if Barnes & Noble sold books in halves and flipped a coin in a back room to determine whether or not to sell the second half in 18 months.

When’s Google gonna put Gemini on the Google Home/Nest devices? I’d switch to 'em if they end up getting Gemini on them, the amount of times I ask my Echo Dot a simple question that it can’t answer but Gemini can is ridiculous.

They’re doing the remaster? I had no idea.
