I just check 1337x's trending torrents for movies and TV most days when I turn my computer on. Works well enough for me unless it's a much smaller show. I didn't notice What We do in the Shadows was back for 3 weeks because not enough people DL it for it to be in the top 100.
Wooly
It was a much less compelling hearing(?) Than you're making it out to be. It amounted to the guy saying "some people have told me X".
Still no proof, I'm not a blind believer. The likely answer is still aliens haven't visited earth.
Good, I hope it dies and never releases in the UK. Netflix is still good here and has all the old 6+ season shows.
I've always liked the theory, well more interested as it's a pretty terrifying concept. I just don't believe interstellar and lightspeed travel is common/easy enough for aliens to devote so much effort into seeking out life, travelling for hundreds/thousands of years just to destroy any other lifeforms it detects. There's no benefit to either party really, any resource you could get on a habited planet you could find on a number of uninhabited ones without the massive expense of an intergalactic "war".
Plus we've been sending out signals for years, we should already be dead - unless the aliens are going to take 1000 years to get here. And I don't see how it's worth it.
Unfortunately, that's really not how it works. The masses don't care. Just like Netflix profits increased after the crackdown, most people just use the Reddit app and don't give a fuck.
Tbh, with how small lemmy is, it's really not got much draw for most people. I still miss the long conversations and multiple comments. I've only seen like 50 comments on here at best.
I'd probably say on the release day at minimum, a lot of people have 'hide read posts' on and will never see this again.
How is 3 buttons too complicated?
No, it's not bland. But it falls into the awful category for me at least. That's two appealing movies out of how many? A lot of these new movies have amazing detail but no soul. Pixar has had no joy for years.
I do really hope PiB and Spiderman inspire more studios to put effort into their kids movies.
depressingly not convinced faster than light travel will ever be possible, especially for humans or human-like organisms...
I think you're right, the only chance we'll ever have at reaching another habitual world (if we ever even detect one well enough) is with cryogenics and/or colony ships. It'll take hundreds, possibly thousands of years till we're at that point thought. Especially when our civilization puts so little into space travel. We should really have a moon base at this point.
I believe aliens exist, somewhere in the universe. Statistically it seems inevitable, I just don't believe they've visited earth or even know we exist, just like we don't know they exist. You can sit on something like that, there would be much better evidence than grainy fake looking videos and second hand accounts.
Earth is a very early stable planet, I'm sure there will be lots more species in the coming billions of years. We might even be the most advanced civilization in the galaxy. But we'll probably never contact anyone else, best we do is notice signs of life on a distant planet.
I absolutely hate the art style they chose for this. Most non live action movies have looked awful/bland over the last few years.
Had they every met before? If cats grow up together of course they'll be nicer/more familiar.
