1) in a city where housing is racially fraught this is stupid. all humans like owning shit, their capacity to do so varies
2) the chinese were gentrifiers of little italy
3) chinatown is absolutely dying, just slower
i get why the chinese own their own buildings and keep non-sinophones out because it immediately devolves into tech and finance bro nonsense without some friction
If the next left turn from this pov is the block al capone grew up on, i know because its also the block i grew up on. Also high dive is way better than the commissioner
Pierce Brosnan says his James Bond movies were 'never good enough'
“The violence was never real, the brute force of the man was never palpable. It was quite tame.”
“I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. 'Cause it's just never good enough. It's a horrible feeling."
So whats the plan? Not defeat america? Get bathtub estrogen makers to run break contact drills? Ludovico technique the lumpen soldiers? just post and do nothing? Do you want to win or do you want to be right?
I love movies.
I hate the 5 star rating system.
One number can’t capture why a movie worked (or didn’t). Was the story gripping but the direction flat? Did the sound design carry it when the acting didn’t? A single star rating flattens all of that. It doesn’t help that written reviews are legitimately just jokes for likes nowadays.
That’s why I’m building Screenjudge.
A community powered platform where every movie gets rated across five dimensions: Story, Acting, Visuals, Sound, and Direction (0-10 each with half steps). The overall score is the average, but the real value comes from the breakdown. It sparks better conversations and feeds a recommendation engine that actually gets you and your taste for movies.
Built for people who ever wished ratings could be more honest, more useful, and more fun… this is it.
Screenjudge is live and growing.
200+ users.
800+ movies.
1200+ ratings.

My last word on the transplant debate: growing up in New York City, adapts a child to live in New York City. Growing up in Marion, Ohio adapts a child to live in a place that looks like every other place in America. I have one home, suburbanites have 50 million.
See id probably say that the more shocking thing is watching bond rape her on screen 5 minutes later, but my display name isnt breitlings & benellis
@Playerinthgame Genuinely curious, what could possibly be the charitable explanation for essentially saying “don’t you dare try and make any money off of this?”
