We don't just tell stories, we repeat stories and re-tell stories. It's been happening since before literature or the stage even existed. Even the Odyssey wasn't an entirely original story. Our very first records of literature are literally stories that were told and re-told and re-told and refined and reformed and re-told for generations. Re-telling stories is a fundamental thing common to practically every human. It's what we do and what we are. It's not the end of the world, it's just the mortar that binds our individual experiences into civilization. You don't need to weep, you just need more art and literature in your life, maybe fewer headlines about movies for toddlers.

If you're bored with a story you've seen before, there's a good chance it wasn't made for you, let the people it was made for have it. I think I can safely say that the next Airbud movie wasn't made for you or anyone here. I'm okay letting the kids have their Airbud movie without being snarky about it.

Clarissa Explains It All maybe?

I guess we'll all find out exactly what that loophole is soon enough.

If the sight of living human bodies in any state of dress or undress makes you uncomfortable, maybe that's more your problem than theirs. Your line of etiquette logic is so easily manipulated to abuse and de-humanize people that I can't help but see it as anything but a tool of (usually misogynistic) violence.

Dead or damaged media can repurposed and sold as an new thing. Art and craft items using old vinyl, cassettes, floppy disks, etc. as a medium to create something new is growing in popularity too. If you can find someone making that kind of art at a show, I'm sure some kind of mutually beneficial arrangement could be made so that you both can profit off that dead media.

Super Mario Bros is a 90's dystopian cyberpunk masterpiece. If you're complaining that is wasn't "true" to the interlaced 8-bit game you've totally missed what makes that movie work. It's a pretty fucking bizarre take, I'll grant you that. The new movies were great, but they lack the weirdness and have been polished into boring lumps of nostalgia that are quickly forgotten. Nobody that watched the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie as a child forgot it.

I've made these movies a collection on my Plex/Jellyfin server.

This is way too coherent.

Cab Calloway was a legendary band leader in his own right, far beyond his minor role in a Saturday Night Live sketch turned cult classic. His picture belongs in the encyclopedia for skat.

The band was playing a bunch of songs before the brothers arrived, the brothers just performed the "last two songs". We see Cab Calloway warming up the crowd with one of those other songs. It was all for a good cause and I'm sure the outlaw nature of the duo was no surprise to anyone. We as the audience are "in on it", seems safe to assume the on-screen audience is kind of "in on it too". "Orange whip? Orange whip? ... Three orange whips."
