It got super weird at the end. I will admit I had no idea what was going on so I looked up what it meant online and that was pretty cool... but the movie sucked.
This was about what I got to. Once the characters were changing I knew I wasn’t gonna like the rest of the movie
Everyone needs to watch The Social Dilemma. It's not anything new (tech companies are spying on us and manipulating us etc etc etc) but it shows how the sausage is made and does a really good job explaining why this stuff is so bad for us collectively. I've deleted Facebook (hopefully for the final time) and Snapchat as a result. Instagram will be harder but I'm going to try. Twitter probably not.
Did anyone else watch Wheelman? I've asked before, but I think I'm the only person with Netflix whose watched. I enjoyed it.
I’m paranoid about the very thing I watch Netflix on, my fire stick. Pretty sure the privacy policies you’re forced to agree to on new apps give it permission to listen to you. Then they try to be slick about it: “talk to Alexa!” (Help us train and refine our spy software!)
I have different network monitoring apps for my home for a few reasons. Some I need for work and others because I’m a geek. That said it’s amazing to me how much traffic devices that are in an “off” state transmit. Specifically looking at you Apple and Amazon.
That the one with frank grillo? I saw that. It was solid enough. Kind of forgot about it until just now
I know it happened in March, but I'd forgotten that Halt and Catch Fire was on Netflix. Think I'm going to start that one today.
This was fantastic. I’ve read and watched similar themed pieces before, but the way this was presented was just great and you can’t see it playing out live with some of the insanity going on now.
First season is great, I hit a wall with the second season as it felt like it started to meander and I haven’t gotten back into it
3rd and 4th seasons are out of this world good, show really hits its stride as it navigates the changes of the time period. Made it a top 5 show for me personally
Away was ok but it was hard to turn my brain off; I kept thinking "who the fuck planned this mission and who built this piece of shit spacecraft?"
Yeah so The Social Dilemma is terrifying. I work in technology and am aware of it all, but that shit was hard to digest.
Bordertown is great...9/10. Finnish w/ good English voice dubs. The voice acting is good and not distracting. It's a mix of a procedural/serial with 2-3 episodes on each "case" and an overarching plot as well.
New season of MeatEater is out for my fellow outdoor/hunting enthusiasts. Edit: ....and there's only 5 episodes in this "season" and they're only like 24 mins long each so that's bullshit.
My cousins wife in the 2000s came up with some software or algarythem thing where if you like something on Facebook your friends will too and their friends will etc so it would target the ads to what you like to people you are friends with and their friends she made a ton of money on it and they live in a flat in soho. cousin is pretty down to earth and we go to metal shows in the city all the time, once passes out on their couch and later found out it was 15,000 and custom made by some designer, had I known that I would have jerked one off on it.
I thought it was decent. There was kinda a lot crammed into a 2 hour movie. I think it could have been better as a mini-series to get more out of the characters because it has a good cast. It was good for a Netflix movie though since most of them haven't been that good imo. Worth a watch.
Challenger is good. Episode 3 hits pretty hard. Anyone that manages people and makes decisions that could affect people's lives could learn from it. Edit: Also, fuck Larry Mulloy. Edit x2: I never realized the explosion was NOT the cause of death for the crew. Spoiler http://www.nbcnews.com/id/11031097/...out-challenger-shuttle-disaster/#.X2PTxZNKjlw Myth #3: The crew died instantly The flight, and the astronauts’ lives, did not end at that point, 73 seconds after launch. After Challenger was torn apart, the pieces continued upward from their own momentum, reaching a peak altitude of 65,000 feet before arching back down into the water. The cabin hit the surface 2 minutes and 45 seconds after breakup, and all investigations indicate the crew was still alive until then.
