    Haven’t seen the enire set yet but this one really blew me away. So trippy, so good.


    • no doubt. I wish they'd have done the Ghost in the Shell movie exactly like this.dopepope
    • It felt like live action that was rotoscoped but then it’s 3D, I was just tripped the fuck out.Ramanisky2

    Yeah, social medias a fuking up our society.

    • Yeah, I watched and deleted all social media. I've been trying to quit for a while and this was the final push. QBN is my last one. At least the topics are...lemmy_k
    • listed here so I only have to veiw what I want.lemmy_k
    • I turned off all notifications after watching this (minus txt).... I hate everything about social media even more nowStatic_Line
    • Here is different - no crackhead pings every time a new pic gets posted etcStatic_Line
    • This one freaked my wife out. She deleted a whole bunch of stuff). I'm generally anti-social so not much for me to change.sausages
    • I type q or f almost without thought when I tap in to the browser bar while aimlessly surfing. I’m sickjtb26
    • I ended up downloading killi which pays you to go about your normal daily browsing on chrome, then they sell the data to google and you get a cut_niko
    • isnt that like using windows explorerdeathboy
    • or is it edge... whatever its called, i find it best for image searchs due to bing. i could just type b in my other browsers but eh give comp a chancedeathboy
    • not qbn though. qbn is healthy.sarahfailin
    • i just watch instagram for the hot girls and dank memes. i dont see a problem.milfhunter
    • all the stats about how it changed society was something... suicide rate, the division from Left and Right ...Bennn
    • but im just checkin out some booty and dank memes..milfhunter
    • The lack of grammar and correct spelling in this post really drives home the message.imbecile
    • As well people who focus on such trivial shit. Neil postman made fun of the types explained it in pages thoughdeathboy
    • thanks for the recommendation, really good stuff, might make you think what is Netflix trying to achieve but at least they use interesting content and now ads..rzu-rzu
    • I'm very happy with documentary, dont get me wrong, but somehow thinking that Netflix is the good sheriff around is.. I don't know anymore :)rzu-rzu
    • *not ads (damn it), but paid subscription.rzu-rzu

    Surprisingly good

    • surprisingly? But yeah, loved this one. The animated 3D chess pieces were a bit too epic and cheesy for me, but a great storyIanbolton
    • really enjoyed it.dopepope
    • surprisingly as in i didnt expect anything from a series with a chess player as the main characterBennn
    • agreewhatthefunk
    • Really enjoyed this.monospaced
    • yeah but she's a hot chess player.ben_
    • Loved every second of this beautifully made show.Ramanisky2

    • I don't see much ugly.CyBrainX
    • Watched first ep last night - will continue.stoplying
    • Last episode tonight. It's been excellent. Loved the art direction, has an air of MadMen. Jolene's character is awesome, I always want more.Morning_star
    • Great journey, but the destination wasn't much worthwhile, as I began to suspect by about episode three.Nairn
    • Awesome the first time through. First 3 episodes probably my fav.bezoar
  • _me_8

    Don't Look Up.

    Loved it.

    • i believe that's called a Bronteroc :Dsted
    • Love Leo. The movie was cool.babydick
    • why no love or RT?_niko
    • *on Rotten Tomatoes_niko
    • Was good, thank okay, than predictable, then good. The Bronteroc was unnecessary.oey_oey
    • Bronteroc joke starts at 1:50:51GuyFawkes
    • The tech CEO was fucking hilarious.5timuli
    • fuck rottentomatoes and imd(um)bbabydick
    • Predictable and repeats the same joke/critique over and over and over. But a fun watch.inteliboy
    • ^oey_oey
    • Thought there was still plenty of nuance in there? Great film though. We're all gonna die!Ianbolton
    • mediocrepablo28
    • yeah it did it for _me_ but not for me!MrT
    • Mediocre movie that gets a lot of (too much?) praise because of its subject matter. I think that's where the hate comes from.
      I enjoyed it.

    • Is it 'Hella' good?Hayzilla
    • it's really good, though garlands direction is a little film-student sometimes on this one. Not sure why - maybe not enough shoot time / budget.inteliboy
    • but the last 15 minutes is so fkn amazing - I watched it 3 or 4 times.inteliboy
    • yep excellent film but agree inteliboy, some let down moments that looked budget related, some creature CGI piss poor.fadein11

    • Erased 3 years worth of gains. Last November it was at around 700. Now 220.NBQ00
    • Fuck the stock market. It only gets hard for completely unsustainable exponential growth.bogue
    • it forces companies into excess spending instead of balanced sustainable budgets.bogue
    • Stockmarket is a the greatest pyramid scheme ever createdGnash
    • That stock plunge is an overreaction. It's not like streaming hasn't become so much more competitive. The whole industry isn't losing customers.CyBrainX
    • maybe the russia ban? how many subscriptions did they lose there?uan
    • It's not like everyone around me is cancelling their subscriptions...must be something different.uan
    • Maybe because their contents sucks?
      Popular stuff they have, they don’t own.
      Majority of original shows eat ass.
      futurefood
    • I think the market reacted because they were expecting slower subscriber growth but they actually reported a net loss of subscribers last quarterbogue
    • but that's my point. Why isn't a company that has 220 million people paying 15 bucks a month in perpetuity not desirable to investors?bogue
    • greed.bogue
    • Idiots at Netflix encouraged password sharing for years...and now they are eating crow.utopian

    • I’ve always found this overrated and hokey. As dated as it is, I prefer Michael Mann’s take on the character material in Manhunter.Wolfboy
    • I prefer Red Dragon as a story and I definitely prefer Brian Cox as Hannibal. No scenery chewing.Wolfboy

    I'm about 3 episodes into Altered Carbon. As a sci-fi fan, I am biased toward things like this, so I of course want to enjoy it and am willing to give it some slack.

    But damn. It's fun, but not great. The very moment(s) it starts to feel deep and meaningful, some stupid ass one-liner or absolute cliche moment cheese steps in and ruins the immersion.

    Now that I know there's a past relationship between his sleeve and a living character though, I have some hope.

    • Cool world, boring characters.DRIFTMONKEY
    • stiff actors, bad writing, cool concept.ArmandoEstrada
    • agreed with all statements. i'm about 7 eps in. nice for something mindlessjaylarson
    • there are some fucking really, really cool concepts! but they are trying to cram too much into each episode, so it's dilutedmonospaced
    • It isn't great, just good enough.Maaku
    • completely agree... and not to spoil it but there isn't much of a payoff (meaning it really doesn't get much better and the ending is... meh)PonyBoy
    • it's like the new cloverfield, a good sci-fi but nothing groundbreakingsted
    • I enjoyed iternexbcn
    • I cannot get into Altered Carbon. I got 2.5 episodes in, and that's all I could take. It's lacking something.section_014

    Unorthodox

    I know this has been posted before, but I just finished watching it.
    A touching story.
    It also reminded me of someone.
    When I moved to New York, in the early 90s I worked in a car service in Borough Park. It's the same orthodox Jewish community
    but in another part of Brooklyn. I probably can write a book about all the crazy weird stuff I witnessed, but ...

    There was this lady who looked similar to the girl in the series. For a couple of months every Saturday evening right after Shabbat I would take her to East Village. On the way there she would change her clothes in the back of my car. Get dressed in jeans, revealing blouse, to the point that she looked like a completely different person when getting out of my car. First few times she did that quietly.

    Then once while she was changing we started a conversation, and she opened up to me. The girl shared that she was not happy in her marriage, that she met someone and started going out to nightclubs. Once she was in Limelight and bumped in 2 orthodox guys. It made her panicked, so she decided to go only to a lesbian club, where a chance of meeting orthodox men were slim. That's where I was taking her all that times. I took her there a couple of times more, and then she disappeared.

    While watching this series I thought of her. I wonder what have become of her, where is she now...

    • cool story bro.
      no seriously you should write a short story or something, so interesting :)

    • i dont know what to say, i gave you a +1Bennn
    • i have a few friends that bailed on the orthodoxy. it's not easy at all. also good series.renderedred

    • Fascinating story, great series.sea_sea
    • Great bookMrT

      _niko
    • @elehon - not really, it's quite matter of fact, not too many loons. Fascinating.Morning_star
    • The idea that consciousness isn't created by the brain and is more fundamental is something I first took seriously reading Sam Harris's book "Waking Up".mort_
    • This show is interesting from that perspective.mort_
