  • Me. I would like a new James Bond film.

    Also, what do you mean by “ground left to cover”? Action spy thriller is a whole film genre. Each film is largely standalone with a few references to each other, and when a new Bond is announced it’s a complete reset.

    Plus James Bond has an infinite number of bad guys. Bad guy countries. Secret bad guy countries. Secret shadow organizations. Former agents. Inside moles. The list goes on forever.

    Also the James Bond gadgets. Jetpacks. Laser watches. Cars that shoot missiles. Spy shit is cool.

    James Bond is a series that could go on forever.




  • I’m willing to discuss UI/UX issues but that top comment is just stupid.

    The first complaint is that “lemmy.world” shouldn’t exist, because websites should be dot com. That’s not a UI/UX issue, that’s just ignorance. As we all know Bluesky has also failed to pickup any users due to its URL bsky.app, you obviously can’t have a dot app website!

    The second argument is worth looking at, but it’s unclear based on their comment what went wrong. If you go to Reddit and search for Brazil/Brasil do you just magically find every community you’re looking for? I doubt it. Discovery can and should be improved but this person found an instance before a community?






  • I’m glad this article offers a solution, but is it really going to solve anything?

    I fully agree that a film having a short time in theatres might seem that if affects how/when I watch it, but I don’t think just lengthening a films time in theatres would really solve the problem.

    For me, if I’m going to see a film I see it opening weekend 99% of the time (maybe a slight delay if there is a personal conflict.) If I’m not seeing it opening weekend, I’m happy to just wait. Sure only having to wait a month is great for me, the consumer, but if I had to wait 6 months I’m going to just wait 6 months.

    The problem, as I see it, is that there is an infinite amount of things to watch. The supply is endless. This is great for me as the consumer, but a problem if you’re a supply/film creator.

    Now not all supply/films are created equal. So how do you fix that problem? How do you convince me to see The Brutalist (in theatres)?

    Yes you do? If the moderator or admin of your instance doesn’t like something, it’s gone.

    Sure you could post to another instance, but the line of posting to another instance or posting to another service is a thin one.

    I fully agree that Bluesky is far from the distributed haven it might claim to be, but just because it makes a decision that any Fediverse instance might have made doesn’t mean it’s over.

    Bluesky has problems, but those problems are still within the realm of fixable. Fediverse alternatives may be better, but Bluesky is still fine.
