I know most people here will be fine with pirating and most of these shows and movies will not actually be lost. But as this thread proves, even modern shows can be lost. And there are 2 things here I find especially sad:

1. As mentioned in the article the CN website had a lot of digital games. I think most of them will be lost. This is something we've seen a lot throughout the history of web based games.

2. "I’m more frustrated at the continued removal of online spaces for kids. It leads to them going to media spaces for adults, and that never ends well." from This reddit comment.

Seems like they're basically sun setting Cartoon Network. First the .com website was shut down, and now this. New shows that would historically be on CN are now airing on Adult Swim too.

Oh man, please be good. I'm feeling the beginnings of some hype.

Edit: Okay so I actually read the article. Doesn't seem like Peter Jackson is actually going to be directing (at least not yet). And the first movie is about Gollum . Hype levels have plummeted. I have faith that they'll try to do their best but man I really hate how they've approached this franchise. More and more I think Christopher Tolkein was right when he talked about negative aspects about the mass commercialization of his father's work.

One of my earliest memories is watching this movie as a kid and being absolutely enthralled by Cameron Diaz.

How do you think the electorate becomes this way? It's not because of some innate failure of humans. It's because of the massive alienation that has systematically occurred over the past 50+ years (and really since WW2) as a result of deliberate policies that have decimated communities, destroyed public education, massively widened the wage gap, ruined the housing market, and is wiping out the environment. Among many other things

Policies that are frequently pushed by Republicans, but sometimes supported and often not repudiated properly by Democrats.

So unbearably dumb. Giving a Looney Tunes movie less than a week in theaters after basically not advertising it at all. Honestly, Warner Bros is just hopeless at this point.

To be entirely fair, this was originally on Max and HBO is to blame. But yeah, Netflix is making a mistake. This is the kind of show that even if it doesn't get massive views on release has a lot of staying power and long term appeal.

Yeah, unfortunately this is more and more true every year. And it's been bad for a while.

Seems like another soulless Disney remake. I think some of the shine has rubbed off now and I really doubt it'll be nearly as profitable as the Lion King remake

Pantheon is awesome. It's based on Ken Liu's work who's a pretty great scifi/fantasy author.

Mars Express is a french movie from last year that's sort of like a film noir scifi. I've heard the english dub is quite good if you don't want to deal with subtitles for some reason.

Secret Level and Love, Death & Robots are anthologies of mostly scifi stories.

The Star Wars animated works are all solid if you're interested in more scifantasy.

Common Side Effects is very Scavenger's Reign-esque in art style and animation. Which makes sense considering many of the same artists worked on both. It's not really scifi in the same level though I still would recommend checking it out.

There's also a lot of really good high concept Scifi anime.

Maybe. We don't have a lot of details. I feel bad for any potential job loss.

There's a fantastic Flintstones comic by Mark Russell that is a more adult and heavy take so if the show was planning on taking inspiration from that then I'd be super happy.

On the other hand it could have just been another Family Guy inspired knock off. Or god forbid something like Velma.

I watched it with some friends at one of their houses. Halfway through one of them said out loud: "This is kind of shit isn't it?" I think that basically sums up my feelings on it. I won't deny that they tried to explore some important themes but it's such an unmemorable mess that I can't even remember a few years out if they were successful at all. What I do remember is how uninspired and boring so much of the film was. Especially the fight scenes which are such an important core of the Matrix franchise.

I think they made it very clear early in the movie in a meta way through Neo's job that nobody really wanted to make it but that they were more or less forced to by Warner Bros. And it seems like it was ultimately made by Lana Wachowski as a fuck you to the studio and went out of its way to piss off the audience.

Personally I don't think Anya Taylor-Joy is the best casting for a young Furiosa and the first trailer I saw didn't exactly raise my hopes. But I trust George Miller to do his best with this so I'm cautiously optimistic.

What are the differences between Lemmy and Mbin?

Definitely not to scale 😀. I agree Bojack Horseman improves dramatically very quickly to become an absolutely phenomenal show.

One of the top youtube comments cracked me up:

"as if kpop idols aren't overworked enough now they have to hunt demons too"
