Instead of making Russia better, Putin is hellbent on making the rest of the world as horrible and miserable as Russia.

Right? Looks like the Inception meme.

Conservative governments in Western democracies have always tanked the economy. Always.

Leto is bad when he’s the lead. He’s great as a supporting actor usually and so-so as a villain.

Many people cite his Joker as being bad, but most of his performance was cut from Suicide Squad and it’s not as if any performance in that turd of a movie was particularly great (except for Harley and Waller), since apparently Ayer is a director which encourages his actors to go method and/or extreme.

Still, take his Joker and apply it to Skelletor and it might just work much better, since the character has always been over the top. It’s not as if Frank Langella didn’t ham it up to eleven in the old live action movie, and it works great there.

Funny enough, this is the second time a Joker plays Skelly since Mark Hamill voiced him in the new animated show.

I’m much more concerned with how uncharismatic the lead looks and how bad the CG and action. It looks like an AI movie in parts.

I mean they did proudly display “we are domestic terrorists” at a convention years ago.

Also Russia.

They could have had a slice of the electric car cake, but decided instead to double down on petrol cars.

Double Exposure was alright, but way too short. It felt like half a game.

It’s a good game, just dissapointing compared to the original trilogy. And it feels like the first chapter of a greater story that had a lot of potential but was aborted and will probably never be told now.

Classical abuser logic: they made me do it!

Let me introduce you to my favourite German word: Tja.

It basically means “well, that happened but I don’t feel particularly bad about it”.

Sort of. The far-right AfD is quickly rising in the polls and could be the strongest party in the next general election. It is backed by Putin (several members had meetings with the Kremlin behind closed doors) and also openly prefered by Trump.

Paving the way for a fascist takeover, like conservatives have always done.

All fascist governments in history have both been absolutely malicious and highly incompetent.

Enshittification. Oh you already said Americanisation.

Financial desperation is a bitch.

It also makes what the Stasi in Socialist East Germany did to its citizens look harmless in comparison. It’s literally Big Brother, but you carry him around with you.

And the cloud of dust following is the fight for habitable land.
