I was going to say 50+ year olds love ridiculousness lol. Didn’t know it was the truth

 

This too is not a joke

 

Jag minds think alike

 

It's wild.

 

It's true, our instinct is to assume the worst

 

50 is Gen X yeah?

 

It makes sense. Old people aren’t on tik tok which is basically what ridiculousness is

 

Like 75% of why I have Instagram is to just send my wife cats, things that she does not find funny, or things she "already saw on tiktok"

 

I still gotta convince my fiance to let us cut cable. We only use it during hockey season. And man TV is expensive! Did the math today.. it's $40 a month for 500gbs internet, and jumps to $165 if I add the package that would have ESPN and NESN on it. It's not even a fancy cable package, it's one step above local stations only

 

My parents internet/phone/cable bill is like $350 a month. It’s insane.

 

It's really getting ridiculous. And I swear, Xfinity purposely makes their website slow as fuck and asks you to re-login in multiple times just so you give up trying to look into cheaper plans

It's like dial up speeds trying to pay my bill each month

 

I gotta look at our cable plan this summer. I know our "intro rate" ran out a while ago but it autopays from my wife's account so I don't know what it's up to. Gonna have to do the ole cancel/new customer thing again.

 

I split YouTube TV with a family member so we each pay about $40 / mo

recently cut Netflix but still have max and Hulu! And prime.

 

we used to be a country

 

Modern blockbusters are not worse than Attack of the Clones.

 

who said that?

 

I did?

 

sorry, your phrasing made it sound like you were disputing someone saying otherwise

 

If we wait long enough an Attack of the Clones defender will log in.

 

I’ve never met an attack of the clones defender and would be interested in hearing the defense

 

The best thing that happened to the prequels is Episode IX.

 

Is Attack of the Clones the one where Yoda starts spinning around and shit? That was kinda fun.

 

It certainly has a messy, pulpy charm that’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than the average middle-of-the-road blockbuster of today.

Like, if I wanna watch a deeply flawed sci-fi action flick with CGI usage that doesn’t quite work, within a preexisting franchise, Attack of the Clones would be way more fun than say, Quantumania. And, I’d rank multiple Star War movies below it.

But also, I had a lot less fun with that Phantom Menace rerelease than I’d hoped I would. So, I’d probably go with some b-movie on Tubi over a Star War right now.
