Sickos.

Pandora might already have similar infrastructure in place, if it’s still used. It’s just not exposed to the public. Once upon a time, actual human beings used to import CDs into the service and tag the songs with different descriptors. This was to help the recommendation engine build playlists around similar music. You could see some of these tags when you chose “why this song” during playback.

One thing I wish the recommendation engines took into account was the record producer. Usually when you find a song/artist you like — you’ll find similar music by looking at other albums the same producer was involved in.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (episode 1)

I remember being so hyped for this trailer. Then the movie came out and it was awful/dull/wooden/juvenille/poorly written.

I’d argue the sound should be standardized across all models. It needs to be immediately recognizable to nearby pedestrians.

Brilliant film. Swanson is amazing and deserves all her accolades. Holden has never been as beautiful as he is in this film. Casting Erich von Stroheim as Max was perfect.

Don’t trade being dependent on one country for dependence on another.

Have they done a Broadway musical of this yet? The Disney cycle of wringing out every last dollar from IP isn’t complete without a Broadway musical.

Except they are paying to ship 50% air. Those calculations were probably made before gas prices went up.

200 = “dozens”

Until they get sued. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Just wasting your tax dollars.

He should talk about those short shorts.

I think the bigger threat to cinema is conglomeration. Allowing all the studios to merge, and then buy up the streaming channels, and internet companies is a recipe for killing creativity and free speech.

81% For a big budget movie doesn’t sound that great. I suppose it could be worse.

I thought they had to be based on actual shipping vehicles from American car manufacturers. That’s what got me thinking about it. Eventually the EV cars will probably go faster than the combustion engine. The trick will be in getting a charge to last long enough that it doesn’t need more frequent pit stops.

Have midichlorians been retconned yet?

A mess of a film, but a really great cast and good music.

“Lector” sounds extremely annoying. Milkmen need to make a comeback.

If they are comcerned about speeding, they could install speed bumps or speed cameras. Those actually work.

Would irradiating the packaged food before shipping kill off any botulism?

Garbage in, garbage out.
