This has been disproven so many times. There’s more vacant homes in the US than homeless people. But homes == money. As someone who is a real estate investor, it’s no secret, we are jacking up the prices. It’s what we do for a living.
String theory like most of theoretical physics is just made up. Today our knowledge of atomic physics and the cosmos is no more improved little since 1945. There’s a lot of theories, but ultimately they just add up to different kinds of particles interacting in non-verifiable ways. If you look at the actual advancements it’s pretty laughable we’re sitting here saying “Hey look this theoretical thing called a black hole, that easily could just be some type of unknown radio telescope interference? It maybe might exist for a different reason than we thought!” Your layman’s understanding that a black hole is some kinda big suck-y thing in space is actually better then engineering an elaborate and probably incorrect theory.
Yeah well you’re REALLY not going to like Don’t Worry Darling.
My thing is when clearly a climax has started and there’s still 30-40 minutes left in the film, it really feels like the climax’s are drawn out these days, you have 2 hour plus movies with 30 minutes of no plot/character development instead of a under 2 hour movie which would just be over at that point.
I watched this movie for an art history class and it’s considered an important movie politically due to environmentalist message. At the time environmentalism wasn’t basically movie short-hand for, “this is a black and white moral conflict obviously the environmentalists are the good guys” though obviously that’s how they are portrayed in the Silent Running. There’s was also a popular environmentalist book call Silent Spring, that was incorporated into the movie’s name.
Was born in 1991 and really had to go out of my way to pirate digital versions of these when I was in college. I was trying to think about why I sought these films out. I think the answer is that they are actually science fiction, as opposed to most “sci-fi” films now that are just based in escapism rather than speculation. The thing is that it’s pretty inexplicable because I can clearly see the flaws of these movies, they look corny, a lot bad dialogue written by nerds. But I have a real emotional attachment with these movies. I cried during Soylent Green and even Rollerball. There’s something about the corniness of these movies that’s very claustrophobic and tense, they are exciting because the movies have a thesis that’s like reading a serial killer’s manifesto, dark. The casting was crazy back then to male lead actors like Charlton Heston look haggard and old, and talk a lot, they sometimes just flip out, actresses are on the other hand usually just sexy young starlets who can’t act. It’s just such a different situation then like Adam Driver, or Chris Pratt stumbling through being Mr.Likable with a female lead who’s can act but only there because it would be weird if the script didn’t have a romantic arc.
Honestly I just love all movies but I do think Star Wars ruined it. It’s a good movie, certainly it shaped my childhood, but aside from the more “meta” mythopoetic elements of deconstructing the hero’s journey, it’s pure escapism and obviously was a huge hit and set the tone for the future.
… or he could have just made a simple report like she asked. A very cringey take down of someone just asking for basic information a COO would logically need to do her job. A good developer would have got that work done without being so obtuse.
