@achewood Always loved this panel in particular. The framing, Beef's very rare use of an exclamation point while facing away from the camera. Feels very cinematic.
@DMS_BC Dio put up with like eight years of pretending to be a goody-goody noble scion. If you convinced him it was in his best interest I think he could stack boxes for a long time without doing anything to his coworkers that's worse than what Amazon is already doing.
@VK_HM I think one of PKD's signatures in his longer stories is some absurd piece of scifi tech that is largely irrelevant to the plot but load-bearing to the themes of the story, and this is the only adaptation that seemed to both understand and care about that.
@Srirachachau The worst movies of all time aren't like Plan 9 from Outer Space and they aren't like Deadpool & Wolverine; the worst movies of all time are all on Tubi and have titles like Dahmer vs. Gacy: Dawn of True Crime
@Srirachachau I think a lot of people unknowingly draw a false dichotomy between "Bad but passionately made" and "Competent but hollow". There's no reason a movie can't be a cynical cash-in AND woefully incompetent.
@C_hoffmanni@nise_yoshimi Funniest genre of contemporary European ACW discourse is describing an incident where fourteen million troops are shot trying to charge a trenchline and saying "well none of that would have happened if they had more discipline in their bayonet formations".
@Srirachachau This strategy lifted Stephen King, Agatha Christie, and Isaac Asimov to dominance of their genres. Titans standing on mountains of work with a bedrock of garbage.
@Srirachachau Mismanagement rampant through the whole company; I heard about one employee who was forced into pulling double duty on the Navigation AND Gravitation teams.
@Srirachachau His technical expertise is lacking and he habitually overexposes himself to hazardous chemicals, but by God does that man love killing things.
