  • Maybe if they stop puking the same old garbage on us, we’d want to go to the movies more.

    On friday I went to an indie film premiere and there wasn’t an empty seat to be had. It only cost 2 million to make and was one of the best movies I’ve seen in years. I also regularly visit my local community theatre where they play old gems and its always super busy. People are happy to pay for a nice night at the movies. You just need to provide good content.



  • Shit like this is why my smart tv has never been given internet access.

    The software on my Samsung is so fucked that if I physically switch HDMI connections between inputs, it puts up a screen saying “switching source” despite my new source already being visible on the screen for 3-5 seconds before the tv claims to switch it. One of these days it will piss me off enough to softmod it, but right now I’m too stubborn to spend a day reading how and taking the time to do it.






  • I started a permanent loblaws boycott this week. Won’t be shopping at any of the other big names either. Preparing to participate in the boycott led me to sign up for a co op that I should’ve been using all along and I don’t see myself ever going back. Anything they don’t carry I can get at a local independent grocer and they’re usually a little cheaper than no frills anyway.

    Co ops are a solution to corporate greed, use them whenever possible.





  • Yeah cause our streaming platforms are shit due to how our licensing works and greedy companies being stupid. If I want to watch Rick and Morty I have to sign up for Stack tv which costs over 20 bucks a month while being LOADED with forced ads during broadcasts and has such a tiny library there’s only one or two other shows I would even watch on the service.

    Piracy is a service issue. I gladly pay for the few streaming services in my country that aren’t a steaming dumpster fire.
