"Format" or "initialise"? "Directory" or "folder"...or maybe "drawer"? It's already termed "instance" for a few years now by the Devs, so...

🧘 A man asked Gautama Buddha, I want happiness. Buddha said, First remove I, that's Ego, then remove want, that's Desire. See now you are left with only Happiness

Of all the "thumbs down" this movie is getting here, your insights are actually very interesting! I'm surprised no one else had picked upon that! Well...not THAT surprised, really. 🙄

Now, the question is has it escaped everyone here who's seen it or are you reading too much into it? 😇

You mean tar and gzip?

Why? Are you the executive producer? 🤣 Maybe John David Washington's agent? 😆 Just joking with ya, Blazey!

very enjoyable on the big screen for gorgeous location shots of Venice and in the palazzo.

And that is what movie theatres are for! I was discussing this very point in another post about how, with the proper home theatre setup, the experience is good enough/just like/better than "going to the movies". Comforts of home aside, this is how movies are meant to be seen. Sorry for the tangential rant.

Ah, to have a rooftop garden.

Yes, it is nice.

Well, he's not dead yet, is he? Maybe he stipulated on his death Studio Ghibli goes in maintenance mode...whatever that means.

Then again, Nippon TV buys the name and rights then feeds Princess Mono, Spirited Away, etc. into StableDiffusion/Midjourney/ChatGPT and BINGO! A new Studio Ghibli release every year for Xmas! /cynic

Thanks for this one. It's obvious how it unrealistically paints an entire population, not unlike Porgy and Bess. One must take into account that it's a film of its time: it's not a documentary, it's essentially a fairy tale. A beautiful piece of cinema nevertheless.

!moviesnob Seal of Approval. 🏆 👍

My vote is for movie theatres, say what you will. While I understand and appreciate the convenience and comfort of home theatre viewing, it's not and can never be the same experience. Go see, for example, any of Christopher Nolan's works or any of the Wachowskis works at the movies and then at home and tell me there's no difference (or home viewing is better).

I-Am-An-Idiot-EDIT: See 2001: A Space Odyssey on "the big screen" and at home and tell me there's no difference.

Super excited for this.

I've got the cold sweats about it.

!horror@lemmy.ml at a quick glance seems more of general horror community covering not only movies. I've never visited r/horror. Care to describe the vibe to the tribe…uh…darn, can't think of a name that rhymes with describe/vibe/tribe!

MovieSnob Note: I haven't seen this one yet, débuting just two days ago at the Venice Film Festival but 1) it's pretty topical here in the EU and 2) if it's half as good as Garrone's Gomorrah, I'm in!

From the linked article…

So here’s what this essentially is: fans who love TNG filling in the gaps of the original story they love with the unexplored rest of the universe of people who would have been impacted by that storyline. That’s important for two reasons. First and foremost, this doesn’t take anything away from Paramount’s Star Trek production, and in fact does the opposite. The project doesn’t replace the original episodes, but rather builds upon them. In other words, this project could only possibly serve to draw more interest to Paramount’s product, since the book isn’t going to make much sense to anyone who hasn’t seen the original episodes.
