every niche fiction community has someone that makes most of the daily contributions so you should just ask this question in wildbow's discord server

>>47933
Who? Wildbow?

>>48109
yeah

Grovit, anyone?

Coach in the video was involved in a Japanese promotion called "Bushido " in the early 90's. Just about the realist fake wrestling ever, if that makes sense. I remember watching it on cable via a top box on my telly.
Carl Beijer has written a load of stuff about pro-wrestling. I'll look for a link and see if there's any that isn't paywalled.

90's Japanese pro-wrestling was where it was at, really. Hard hitting and not nearly as "fake" as it is now.
Of course, there was a lot of scumminess too.

No argument there.
He showed up for one last show earlier this year, right before the LA fires.
He was booed, hard. And he was booed because most pro-wrestling fans hate the guy for who he is because he reflects a view of the world many wrestling fans do not embrace.

not an av guy sorry but how do you get into it

>>48092
no, sometimes it's nice to listen to someone talk about something boring. like that popular guy who makes videos about the infrastructure in open world games. is this a subject anyone actually particularly cares about? would you think it's riveting conversation if one of your friends started talking to you about night city's power grid? no, but that's not the point.
also, if the interest is in the subject and not the form, why not listen to someone who actually knows their shit instead of random online fucks? you could download an audiobook of a single good classic on criticism or aesthetics and become way more educated about media than you would from every video essay you've ever watched.

>they're just a really basic, streamlined form of entertainment that asks nothing of the viewer

i don't understand people's sense of self-importance these days. on one hand they think that watching a movie or an episode of a tv show is way too much to ask of them, like as if they are the president of the world bank or something and their time is just far too valuable to risk wasting on such a risky endeavor, but they also think that listening to someone bloviate about a movie or tv show on a youtube video for an hour while they play videogames is a worthwhile use of their time.

something tells me it's not really about the movie or the tv show asking too much of the viewer, it's more about the viewer having some extremely compulsive consumptive habits that they can't abide deviating from. it's like a heroin addict not being able to watch a long movie in a theater because it asks too much of him, he can't sit in a theater for 3 hours without shitting his pants or throwing up or running off to the restroom to get high and then nodding off and missing the rest of the movie.

What if it's an AI script read by a human

ok so clearly we still have the ability to make great looking shows and movies either in stark black and white or vivid color, and they are just choosing not to do that

>>47846
this is just a regular film with a greyscale filter slapped on it instead of a film actually working around the limitations of not having color

Currently watching Person of Interest tv-series. First two seasons are kinda meh but it gets better in season 3 when a competing AI comes online.

>>47847
It's a series (this is the TV thread lol), and they shot it in black and white then did a color conversion. They used old school hard lighting and actual lenses vintage lenses.

I'm watching the three body problem (chinese) and it's kind of funny that the question that is making all these people lose their minds is basically "but what if science… wasn't real?"

just watched badlands starring martin sheen. pretty good movie, martin sheen's character is a very cool guy and i hope i can be more like him someday.

I really enjoyed Buddy, but that’s because I had edibles and drank a decent amount of liquor before watching

Watched the Irish horror movie The Hallow the other night. *nglish couple move to the Irish countryside because the husband is some kind of botanist or something surveying this Irish forest the government wants to sell off. The locals are against it for what seem like superstitious reasons and are generally vaguely hostile to the couple.

The movie's messages seem a little confused but it's fun and genuinely scary in parts. I'd give it a solid B rating I suppose, where it's not mind blowing or anything but if you're looking for something scary to watch for spooky season you probably won't be disappointed.

The new resident evil movie was pretty good.

Slow runneth the course of time
Which in this our hour of fall
Leaves little but dread decay.
The youth decry its passage
Whilst infirm age meets it
With well seasoned glee.
Is this our purpose?
This our fate?
That the old shall wither
And by kin youth create?

Feedback appreciated

Are there repository websites less infested with AI than others?
Lately it feels like I'm reading the same thing over and over again, the same fucking expressions, the same OOC non sequitur banter disregarding the situation at hand. And the thing that actually hurts si following fics for a while and noticing the exact moment the author gives up and tasks the bot to keep the story running.

This is magnificent. I was filled with envy in my simplicity when I first read it.
I'll post some of my writing here when my website host is setup.

I only have one small and simple short story posted so far. A longer short story is currently in the works.

https://the-flower-is-awaring.statichost.page/

Worf is a really interesting character. He's a Klingon that knows nothing about Klingons except what he learns through the lens of the federation. So on the one hand, he learns all the rules to being a klingon, but none of the exceptions to the rules, and he ends up becoming the most Klingon Klingon.

What I mean is his main narrative arc in TNG involves him colliding head on with the contradictions of Klingon society. He's internalized a rigid, highly inflexible code of honor that other Klingons kind of respect but also find pretty bewildering. He's willing to take discommendation in service of the empire when it's strongly implied that no other Klingon would be willing to. At the same thing, it's recognized that this honorable act is in service of covering up another house's dishonor. Eventually it all leads to a civil war, which instead of purifying the empire only solidifies these contradictions, which Worf also finds incomprehensible, as highlighted by the scene when he's in a bar with his brother Kern, whose busy drinking with warriors from the enemy faction.

It's also pretty interesting how Worf ends up becoming what is probably the most important Klingon of the century. He participates and ends up deciding two separate succession crises by killing corrupt chancellors and even restores the office of the emperor, before putting his own adoptive house in the position of the chancellorship.

It's a shame that none of this was really followed up on post ds9. Worf single handedly positioned himself to rejuvenate the dying Klingon empire, and all that was killed in its crib by the tng movies and abramslop.
