  • The thing about Sucker Punch is that you can tell most of it’s green screen (like 300). That’s fine. Roll with it, embrace it, do it. Just don’t try to combine that with filming locations outside a studio. That has a jarring effect on a viewer because they can still really tell the difference, especially with Snyder’s type of filmmaking.

    I’ve watched the first 45 minutes or so of Rebel Moon, and it is okay so far. It’s not good, it’s just okay. There’s a mixture of on site filming locations, and something like “the volume” used which throws off my suspension of disbelief. Shots that are supposed to look outside look like a green screen and soundstage with dirt and other practical effects scattered about. Also, I can see why Disney passed up on Snyder’s pitch though. Not 30 minutes in and it gets rapey.

    I honestly find it has a well-worn plot, with paper thin characters that have predictable motivations, and nothing really new and noteworthy in its world building.

    In a letter sent to Uruguay’s Minister of Education Pablo Da Silveira, a spokesperson for Spotify said: “If the proposed reform became law in its current form, Spotify’s business in Uruguay could become unfeasible, to the detriment of Uruguayan music and its fans,” claiming that the amendment would force it to “pay twice” the amount of royalties.

    Spotify currently pays out at 70%. Doubling royalties would cause them to pay out more than they make in subscription and ad revenue. This is why they’re shutting down.



















  • The only people I’ve spoken to who really understand what a family goes through are ones who have experienced it as well. We knew it was a possibility with our mom, because our great aunt had dementia. My mom made arrangements, yet I’ll be damned she fought implementing those arrangements tooth and nail. She knew something was happening to her, and she became stubborn; wouldn’t go see a doctor because more than likely she was afraid to hear what she already knew.

    Ulitmately she went into the hospital for an unrelated matter, and was finally diagnosed. Yet by that time the disease was well underway. There wasn’t much to do except setup care and eventually hospice about four years after her diagnosis. She passed away late last year.
