Matrix Resurrections predictions:

• The "fight the machine" message will be replaced with a "trust the machine" message.
• Neo will get sidelined in favor of a younger, stronger, most likely female protagonist.
• Intentionally unsatisfying ending baiting a new trilogy. Image
• Dumb and blunt COVID and/or Trump allegories.
• Random Chinese actors that only Chinese audiences will recognize.
• New characters who are exactly the same as the old characters, just younger.
• Marvel-like "don't take this too seriously" humor.
• Some stupid "Matrix = Facebook" allegory.
• Lots of meandering dialogue about philosophical concepts that really have nothing to do with the plot but are thrown in to trick stupid people into thinking the movie is deep.
• Toned down to PG-13 to maximize mass market appeal and avoid censorship overseas.
• Neo will become a bumbling idiot who constantly needs to be rescued by a newer, "cooler" character.
• "We retconned it to make it more relevant to modern political sensibilities."

I'm watching Malignant, the latest tumor from director James Wan. Image
The movie starts in 1993, and we see a comically evil-looking research hospital. Some lady named Dr. Florence Weaver is recording a video in her office about how someone named Gabriel is becoming "stronger" and "more malicious", and soon, they won't be able to contain him. Image
Suddenly, a security guard comes in and tells her "he got out again" and they rush to his room in a shot filmed with a wide-angle lens where we see clear vignetting in the corners. You can tell this wasn't intentional because the vignetting disappears when they switch lenses. Image

Epic Rap Battles of History: Chris-Chan vs DarksydePhil.
I'm gonna rap to the extreme
I'm a girl now and I'm boyfriend-free
My rhymes are sick like my fantasies
In prison you're locked in here with me
You step up to me, you Soni-choose to lose in more ways than one
I'll recycle you like I do my cum
When Chris-Chan's in the house, you better fucking run
I'm a real motherfucker, this rap battle's done

"Orcs were based on black people."

That's an internet myth.

The word "orc" was used by Tolkien as a synonym for "goblin". His portrayal of goblins was directly lifted from the 1872 novel The Princess and the Goblin which depicted them as ugly gnomes who lived underground.
The word "orc" likely comes from "orcneas", an Old English word that is only known from a single mention in Beowulf and likely describes some sort of undead creature, like a draugr. It may also be a corruption of the word "ogre".
As for goblins (which "orc" was a synonym for), the word "goblin" was one of many words used to describe a number of different mythological creatures from European folklore, along with "gnome" or "fairy". The conception of goblins as monstrous green people is relatively recent.

Look at the replies. "I'm gonna be an artist!" "I'm gonna be a therapist!" "I'm gonna be a writer!" None of them want to be a miner, industrial farmer, sewer line worker, or do any of the dirty jobs that are necessary for society to function. Someone would have to be forced.
"Why is everyone starving?"

"It turns out that society needs more than artists and therapists to function."

"Maybe we should force some people to maintain our infrastructure."

"We are, but the guys in charge of distributing resources are taking everything for themselves."
They went protected. Image

I just watched Deep Shock (2003), a made-for-TV movie about wooden actors in an underwater facility made of plastic having a run-in with terrible CGI eels under the north pole. Image
The set is covered in plastic bowls painted silver, I guess to give it a sci-fi texture. Maybe they're supposed to be giant rivets or something. Image
The U.N. consists of twenty or so people sitting in a mostly empty concert hall. One guy who doesn't like Lead Lady's theory about smart eels or whatever just calls a vote to get her removed from her position, and they just decide it with a show of hands. Image

I guess I'm gonna watch Wonder Woman 1984 now.
The music during the opening credits makes it sound like a Christmas movie.
Kid Wonder Woman goes to some arena where all the Amazonians are doing tricks and shit, but they're all doing different things at the same time, so it's like if you went to the Olympics and every game was happening at once.
