I know what you mean, buddy. I remember when Netscape navigator was a new and amazing piece of software. All I’d ever used before that was NCSA Mosaic.

This is called a “dark pattern“ (a rather shitty design concept) wherein the design is specifically engineered to make you finally give up because it’s so overly complicated, and to just accept the cookies so they can track you and get all your personal information and sell it.

The rest of us knew it was a scam all along. and we didn’t need AI to figure that out.

Did the sexual orientation of the flight attendant really matter?

For me, it was really mostly the story changes they made so the movie could be rated PG instead of R. They also made some changes to some of the characters and the dialogue which made it come off a lot more cheesy than the book. Although, I will say, gender swapping the kids was a good move. I liked that it was the girl who was the UNIX whiz. In 1993, that felt like an especially fresh take.

After seeing the trailer for project, Hail Mary, it seems like they’re gonna stick pretty close to the book. Like they did with the Martian.

The book was a million times better than the movie. It was the first time I had read a novel that was turned into a movie and then saw the movie after reading the novel.

14-year-old me had never been so disappointed. And it taught me to never ever read the book before the movie.
