Is it a cult classic? Deservedly so (I personally love it). Is it a ground breaking technological and artistic cinematic endeavour? Absolutely. No doubt it'll stand the test of time and worth to have books written about it, but to call it "still looks like a billion bucks"... let's be real, that's a no. And I don't even care about 90% of movies that cost half of a billion bucks.

Putting a dollar amount to TRON's visual expression is just misguided. It has not been imitated/replicated (imo, for good reasons) since, which I'm glad about so its visual uniqueness is not diluted by lessor films.

As a side note, I've been listening to this song and watching the video like 20 times a day the past few days.

And I also put one hand on my hip and wag the index finger on my other hand at my kids and wife every chance I get.

some of that might be helpful. 'tho Facebook, X and the sludge of right-wing morgues (where truth or thought goes to die)* show some have no pride, shame or gray-matter.
additionally, with all the unauthorized, spook behavior of Leon and ilk - maybe a liability.
would prefer some balance.
the fairness doctrine was put there to give people a different perspective. most people try to be fair. like any debate, no one person is going to win them all. and often efficiently culls the hacks EX: Rush Limbaugh tried a TV show but his audience ran him off the air {check out YouTube} ideas were challenged and died on the vine. Rush's vineyard went dry.
plus, believe people would love to hear something new. get the idea Fox audiences are s t a r v e d for some synaptic activity when the former Sec of Trans got a standing O because of it.
it felt good. and not so damn blah-blah-blah.
plus just getting the spectrum of people talking to each, trying to actually solve something, just might provide us the way back to some sense of sanity.

*yeah. no group has corner the market on bad brains - but the per capita is defiantly skewed toward the far right.

another head scratcher/gut churner/soul sighing show. it's way over time to get some patrols on the 'information highway'. the web of lies/undue social influence/bias reporting/echo chambers and general nastiness needs some lines of (lack of a better word) decency that nary be crossed.
it's been done before.
'fire in a crowed theater' put some measurement on of the definition of 'free speech'. there is a line where 'free speech' fails to be freedom & becomes the dungeons of despair.
it's a tough subject to gauge, but do trust caring* people can draw a 'line-in-the-sand' so young people don't kill themselves over cyber bulling. or hyper-partisan yodels don't attack random INNOCENT people. or where honesty and a love of variable facts becomes a touchstone.
it needs to happen.
this would be the (past) time to get all types together and hammer out some guidelines. Maybe, use existing laws. change the 230(#?) shield limits. AI monitoring. or have civil suits to sue, sue, and sue until the posting of anything that comes into a person's head, meets a reality check.
not against the exchange of ideas, challenges of the norms, or any free speech of merit (or even some of dubious value) -but just getting us out of the muck of the 'muddy minimum-maintenance roadway of disinformation'.
peace.


*extend that to all of the 'sick-of-this-s*it' folk)

Reports say we, the taxpayers, paid between $18 and $20 million dollars for this fiasco, just so little Donny could get in on the big show and not be ignored all day (which obviously turned out terribly)….but there’s not a dime left for children’s cancer trials already underway…sorry kids, you’re going to die.

Where’s doge? Why hasn’t Donny been put on permanent leave, or offered a buyout to go home? That’s definitely serious “waste and fraud”, especially since he’s also spent $10 million tax dollars golfing already….on track for over $170 million this year on golf alone and going up.

Holy crap! Just to drive home the unbelievable incompetence of this administration, our eggs are up to $15 a dozen and rising (3 times their pre-felon cost), in Mexico, a dozen eggs is well under $2!
Expect all food to be similarly overpriced. Just because the tariffs were dropped (except from China) doesn’t mean the trade war is over…Mexico, Canada, and China have all curtailed their orders from the US severely without tariffs. Canada pulled all US alcohol off the shelves, and aren’t keen on putting it back.
Also, thousands were murdered because he suspended funding for experimental medical trials, meaning thousands are in the middle of treatments for deadly diseases which drives medical advancements, many with devices implanted, all of which were just abandoned to die.
And, eggs are so expensive that they are now being hijacked by the truckload, and RFK jr 1) skipped the transition meeting so has no clue what’s happening and 2) doesn’t believe in pandemics so has no plan to address bird flu or any other emerging disease or food shortage.
And we now know why Elon shut down USAID…not because they were wasteful or leftists, Ivanka used millions in USAID herself, they were investigating his Starlink contracts in Ukraine (like overcharging and how he shut them down at critical times to help Russia in the war), so had to close.
Also, he and his subordinate the felon rehired the active proud racist Nazi that quit when he was outed, because they both are Nazis themselves. Time for instigating that Indian hate he advocates against race traitor Vance and his brown family.

Russia is playing videos of nude Melania doing soft core porn constantly on state TV to embarrass the felon. Maybe soon we can see the golden shower tapes.
China put a 15% tariff on US imports and blocked hundreds of billions in deliveries from port while stopping shipments of rare earth minerals and Xi is not taking the felon’s phone calls, we dropped all our tariffs for no gains, in fact 5000 Mexican troops left the border that Biden had secured, we lost around $2 trillion in net worth or more in two weeks, we destroyed international relations with both our neighbors (both of which are now considering BRICS and distancing themselves from America as much as possible), and we stated unambiguously that treaties and official agreements (like the felon’s own trade agreement) with the US aren’t worth the paper they’re written on and are discarded at any whim, so no more agreements, treaties, or being allied. Canada removed all US alcohol off their shelves, don’t expect it to return.
Eggs $15.
No company is hiring or expanding nationwide now, because they have no idea what insanity the felon will do next, what stupid tariffs they will have to contend with, what supply chains will be cut, or what allies will refuse deliveries.
Winning!

And…..the first article of impeachment has been filed. How long before a few Republicans grow a spine and stand up.

yeah, something seems... "off".
My guess is it was staged.
like why didn't the person filming it just stay with her on that corner?
or the chances of 3 babies all being asleep and not crying while being hauled around in the Nevada afternoon or being put into minivan?
Also (@2:44) that car seat didn't have the seat belt going *over* the seat (obviously she didn't have a seat-base with her, and the "samaritan" wouldn't have had a matching base) so the only way to belt an infant car seat is to go up over the baby's legs (the seat has notches for that purpose)

So maybe a better video title would be "Aspiring Actress with 3 Car Seats Helps YouTuber Harvest Likes and Views"

In a panic because his dismantling of the air safety boards, firing the FAA head, putting a hiring freeze on air traffic controllers who are already 30%+ understaffed, and erasing any job security for the remaining few the day before (when there was another near miss between helicopters and planes due to understaffing and the added stress he intentionally put them under) only took a day to cause a mid air crash, the moron is blaming Biden for training disabled people to work in the field….

…..obviously forgetting the order to hire more disabled people for air traffic control was made by him in 2019 because there was a shortage back then and that was his “fix” (didn’t fix anything), or hoping his people are too stupid to look it up knowing they are all too dumb to remember what happened yesterday.

Every word is a lie, every action a disaster.

America won’t survive 4 more months of this, forget 4 years.
Remember remember the 5th of November…..Where’s America’s Guy Falks? Can he make it the 5th of March instead please….we don’t have until November.

Multiple people have been arrested for starting these and other fires in LA. A man with a propane torch was caught lighting Xmas trees and garbage cans that seem to be the start of the Kenneth fire, a woman was caught starting fires near Palisades on the 8th (her fires were reportedly put out, so maybe not the start of that fire) and there’s footage of what’s claimed to be people starting fires in what looks like down town LA tonight.

I like how they had to put (a satire) at the end of the title. Otherwise... well, you know...

It's a fine line between comedy and psychological abuse. OK, she's probably in on the 'joke' but they're putting this up for strangers to watch and think it's normal.

Not my kind of thing.

Hunter pardoned!

Awwwww….all that sound and fury for nothing, just exposing the corrupt right willing to suborn any level of perjury and put up any foreign criminal they could find to attack their political rival’s families.

Another abuse thwarted, Hunter is pardoned….just like the next president plans to do for himself and has already done for his own family members and most of his convicted administration officials, donors (anyone willing to pay >$200k for a pardon), his lawyers, campaign officials, and dozens of drug traffickers, and plans for the treasonous anti American cop killing traitors that tried a violent coup and failed.
No whining, babies, this is how you support law and order in your party.

(Worth noting Jared Kushner’s father was under investigation for tax fraud and thought his brother in law was cooperating so hired a prostitute to seduce his brother in law, filmed it secretly, then showed the video to his sister for revenge and intimidation. He was caught, admitted it, was convicted/ pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering, Trump pardoned him, he is now the ambassador to France in the next administration…another sex trafficking tax cheating blackmailer and extortionist that has no limit to his depravity and whose crimes were serious, 100% intentional, and were intended to harm others in a position of power. France should (and may) deny him entry.)

Ah... such naive Americans! The WHOLE skit is pretty much accurate. You can't imagine the fear of an influx of Americans is causing here when we're already dealing wiht a huge nation-wide housing crisis. Immigratation pushbacks (to put it lighty) and still-sky-high mortage, food & rent inflation rates that we'd glad trade with what you stateside keep on complaining about. With Trump promising a 25% import tax on "Day 1" anti-American sentiment isn't going down anytime soon.
