I’m well aware of what you’re getting at. I’m insulted you’d think I’m not. But at some point you have to look at the situation for what it is - in the moment.

Telegram has the very public, very purposeful eye of the government on it right now. That platform cannot hide behind it’s owner taking the high road. It will bend the knee or it will close it’s doors.

That’s where it is right now. That’s no choice at all for it’s users, obviously.

No argument here. I agree completely on that. It is stupid. Complete waste of hardware.

Gez Z didn’t grow up with watching movies. They grew up on social media. Cinematic story telling isn’t something they’re farmilur with as a form of daily entertainment.

I don’t blame them for this. But it definitely shows in their work. Their own generation aren’t interested in their stuff, by and large. Sure, there’s some that watch and enjoy it but the audience they’re putting this out to who are actually interested are older. And they see their work as it is - not as good as past efforts by generations before Gen Z.

It’s why the film industry is drowning right now. There is an audience still there for film. But the majority of it isn’t Gen Z. And that’s the problem. There lies the disconnect.

If you want Gen Z attention and dollars, the film industry isn’t where you should be aiming your sights at. Because they aren’t the audience for film. Which obviously means, you should cater the film industry to the audience THAT IS ALREADY THERE.

And that ain’t Gen Z…

Sounds on brand for Ron, tbh. I wouldn’t look at him poorly over that, personally.

This. Guy is weird af in real life. I’m willing to ignore it all for 2 hours of another Riddick film is as good as the previous ones but I’m no fan of this guy anymore after some of the videos I’ve seen of his behavior off set.

Another actor that Hollywood just turned into a freak.

You know what, you’re absolutely right and I’m way off.

Idk why that didn’t click on my head. Nokia has been dead for ages.

Pretty neat. If for no other reason than “because I can”.

Who keeps a Moto phone for more than 2 or 3 years anyway? These are disposable devices because of the lack of software support. You buy one, and have it recycled in 2 years. Rinse and repeat.

Nobody should be buying Motorola phones for a long term device,obviously.

Isn’t there a bunch of heat over the owner (and by extension, the platform) from the government right now.

I don’t think I’d want to use a platform the government is so intent on getting a backdoor access to. Especially with the shit that “allegedly” is going on with Telegram.
