that's kinda bleak, tbh. if my favorite franchises became too idiotic i feel like i'd just take a break from tv. there's lots of good books out there.

i tried starting the new alien show, parts were fine and even engaging but the fact they had the option to make the new corporation Tyrell but didn't even though Disney owns everything pissed me off to the point i didn't even finish the first ep.

i need to get a good tablet put together and try reading again to get immersed now that i know things like OpenDyslexic font exist instead of audiobooks as background noise barely paying attention to them

Yeah, i never been much of a reader but I've been trying to encourage myself to do exactly that.

Because that might be what gets me through this version of society that already looks exactly like this to me:

just remember: the alien queen is a disney princess now. she has a place right along side the beauty, jasmine, snow white, all them. h.r. giger would be proud.

the new alien show is pretty solid though. i'm starting to lose faith in foundation as sci-fi goes but it was always kinda doomed being on apple tbh.

sci-fi is become a strange franchise, like black mirror episodes aren't that farfetched sometimes and it's kind of depressing sometimes.

i am re-reading the old conan novels by robert e. howard. it's escapism.

In season 2 of foundation I started fast forwarding everytime it cut to the main girls story. I literally fast forwarded every scene about her.

Empire seems like a total joke too in season 3, like they dont seem powerful, or scary, or in control, or capable of anything.

The whole, immense power of empire is what made the show! Rome in space!

Now its like, about noting. And that villain, what a stupid character.

Hes magic, can grant wishes.

Why?

just cus. got mad one day.

I am tellin u atomic, AI is our best bet.

People suck dick at making art now.

i was thinking about this today, like how all the even dellcious low hanging fruit has already been picked, it's prolly impossible to come up with like an original sci-fi time travel story or any story for that matter with a concept that hasn't already been explored

Ai will allow us to tap into the creativity of the clinically insane, like some H. R. Giger type mother fucker in a straight jacket just having a stream of conciousness chat with a ai and then a guy in lab coat going "Oookay, now translate that into a movie script"

we're going to have a Academy Award winning movie written by a homeless crazy person off his meds, mark my words.

I seriously want to know if we've discovered all "generas" of music or if we're just too busy to create any new ones.

Imagine if AI comes out with a new genera of music, that would be fuckn nuts.
