I for one can live without OP_CTV.

Glad I’m living in such times!

Of the four Pierce Brosnan Bond movies, the first one was great (Goldeneye, so good), the second one was decent (Tomorrow Never Dies actually has a lot of relevance today, as it's about the control of corporate media with misinformation, which is rather prescient for 1997), and the final two were bad.

Of the five Daniel Craig Bond movies, I differ a bit from the consensus. The consensus is that the first (Casino Royale) and third (Skyfall) were great, but that the second, Quantum of Solace, was the worst and the others were okay.

However, while I do think the first Craig movie (Casino Royale) was great, and Skyfall was the second best, I think Quantum of Solace as the second movie was underwhelming but not bad. It was kind of that middle-of-trilogy vibe. I rate it above the consensus. The true catastrophe of this series, which I rate below the consensus, was actually the fourth movie Spectre. Utterly awful in terms of plot, especially given Bond's greatest villain Blofeld played by Waltz, which is such a strong casting. They fucked the whole story up and it made no sense. Bond literally walked into the evil headquarters with no plan, and got captured. And then when the villain is drilling into his head to erase his memories, it just randomly didn't work, and he broke free via bad narrative. Made absolutely no sense. People were too accepting of it because they liked Waltz on screen and he distracts them from how weak his character was and how bad the plot was. And Blofeld was way too obsessive with Bond. Cool villains aren't as obsessive as that. And then the fifth one was solid and partially salvaged the catastrophe that was Spectre. Kind of mediocre like Quantum of Solace, but with a solid and surprising climax to the series, which elevated and completed it.

What I generally see is that the first movies of a series of movies tend to be the best, mostly the first one, and then it just goes downhill from there.

I think the creators just think “WoW! It made a lot of money! Let’s make a sequel”, while the plot doesn’t allow for one.

For example Matrix 1 was really good, but Matrix 2 and 3 were absolute crap!

I’m such a conspiracy theorist that I firmly believe flat-earthers are a government-funded psy-op to discredit conspiracy theories!

Like a vulture, I’m sitting down waiting for it to go even lower …

How is it that I can’t read the captions of an Instagram photo?

How is it that people

on

separate

lines,

breaking the lines much more than is customary to gain engagement and yet, here I can read blog-long posts?

I really can’t comprehend how #Nostr makes me behave differently in this regard.

It’s as if those platforms encourage short spans of attention. If that is the case, I can’t figure out how their algorithm does this to our brain.

Just prepared my nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg app tutorial transcript.

I’ma make the Persian short video first.

Stay tuned and share it for onboarding friends and family 💜
