I have not been able to log in at all, even after trying multiple browsers, until today! Glad to be back

Was there any more clarification on whether this instance would "defederate" from Meta? I remember reading about it ~5 months ago and posting a general query. IIRC the response was "we'll cross that bridge if/when we get to it".

I only have very basic knowldge of how the fediverse works, but does this mean Meta (Threads) is connected on lemmy ?

Enshittification strikes again

"But the system is broken. Audiences are dumber. Normal people don’t go through reviews like they used to. Rotten Tomatoes is something the studios can game. So they do.”

Jake Sully has no personality other than being mystified by the world.

Agree, and his purpose is to introduce us to the alien world. Him becoming a leader is one aspect that didnt sit right with me. He didn't earn enough goodwill to do that. Its just trust the superior humanoid, because he did something my great grandfather did.

Your friends not wrong. The link with european arrival in north and south america was intentional for the film.

 

This week i've decided to rewatch the avatar films on blu ray. I picked up the special editions with the 3 hours worth of extras for each film. I've rewatched the first film and some extras. I'm a casual fan at best and by no means a movie critic, but here arey impressions.

The first avatar film has aged well. I enjoy the world of pandora and it is beautiful on blu ray. The details in the plants are incredible. A botanist that consulted on the film is featured in the bonus content.

I still get the sense that this could of been a two part film, with the first part ending with the destruction of the home tree. Then there would of been space go explore the na'vi tribes before the battle.

I watched the family audio version with english subtitles. The audio creatively removed the swears, but the subtitles didn't.

The bonus features had the main actors reflecting on their experiences making the film and their reflections on its success. They all played their characters brilliantly, and I was surprisingly impressed by Stephen Langs take on playing Quaritch.

Edit: Also after someone pointing this out, I can see the similatities with Fern Gully (which happens to be the first film I watched in theatre.)

I'm looking forward to rewatching way of the water, as I streamed it for the first watch.


Is that chidy 🀣

 

So whats everyone watching on Thursday (nights) now that SNW has wrapped up? I'm looking for recommendations

Edit: I'm currently watching outlander, waiting for the wheel of time s2, DISCO and snowpiercer s4

46minutes, kind of over it. Would love to hear a Klingon song

10 minutes in, Oh I like it!

I'm feeling bitter sweet about this season. Disco was my introduction to trek (though i vaguely recall watching ds9 reruns as a kid). Excited to have Saru and Book back on the small screen

Hi, I've just been reading about the case to defederate from fb/meta instances (https://startrek.website/post/289809?scrollToComments=true) and was wondering if the team was aware of the fedipact?
