Movies with deliberately anachronistic endings/scenes?
Reply in thread
Valid points. I only watched it once when it was in theaters so I forgot a lot of those details. I appreciate the added nuance. I still enjoyed The Favourite more, but I’ll have to throw on Marie Antoinette sometime.

Similar but not exact match, but Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite has an incredible dance number in the middle that strives to evoke modern party atmosphere in a period piece. It’s hilarious and effective.
And credit where it’s due, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette did it first (but not as entertainingly) with an anachronistic modern soundtrack.

Sonic Game Recomendation?
Reply in thread
I don’t know. Haven’t played it. But I can say that it came after the recent major shift to enshittification across gaming, so I’m fine sticking with the tried and true.
To be clear, not recommending against, just don’t have the experience to affirmatively recommend for.

My brief answer is 1, 2, Mania, & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed. Very minimalist.

I saw the photo first before I read the parent comment and was mightily confused at why there were Weird Al hairstyling videos. The priming effect at work.
Also, he should title his next album Weird AI

I was making a joke. “First place in Top 500 list” - the top 500 is irrelevant.

What apps or tips do you recommend to "dumb down" your smartphone?
Delete social media.
Buy a pocket sized e-reader. I recommend options from Bigme and XTEink.
Learn to reach for books instead of apps.

Raising taxes on the superrich is popular with voters. So why is it so hard to get done?

Why aren’t the ants getting to enjoy the picnic food?
