I am also ‘Andrew’, the admin of this server. I’ll try to remember to only use this account for posting stuff.

This says more about RT’s flawed ratings system than it does the quality of this movie. ‘80% Fresh’ just mean 80% of critics thought it was watchable (so it applies if there were 5 critics, and 4 said ‘meh’ and 1 said ‘bad’). The AVClub gave it a C+, which is the kind of rating that RT regards as Fresh from some publications and Rotten from others.

I’ve no idea why people are trying to Jack Quaid a thing, he was already a thing as soon as he was born to his famous parents.

There’s a podcast by Tansy Gardam called ‘Going Rogue’ that was initially about the making of Rogue One, and she covered some details about Underworld in the first episode. Lucas has said that they couldn’t figure out a way to make it for less than $50 million an episode. In the meantime, as the MimicJar also mentions, a lot of the ideas were cannibalised for Clone Wars and later shows (the character of Saw Gerrera originally came from Underworld).

It doesn’t look like they’ve turned it back on yet at their end: https://hexbear.net/instances

I don’t, no, sorry.

Maybe try asking in !antikythera_support@lemmy.world ? The people there are not like us, but they are (probably) not to be feared.

PieFed is just a Fediverse platform that aims to inter-op with Lemmy in much the same way that it aims to inter-op with any other Group-based platform (MBIN, PeerTube, NodeBB, Wordpress).

Lemmy’s “quirks” are the reason why your account won’t see Polls from MBIN, or channels from PeerTube, or posts from NodeBB, or backfilled content from Wordpress.

It’s not my intent to criticise Lemmy, but these are verifiable problems, whereas it doesn’t seem fair to criticise PieFed for problems that you can’t clearly remember.

Apart from using the word ‘dragon’, I couldn’t see anything about their account that indicates it’s an alt. They used ‘I’ as a pronoun in this comment.

Maybe 23 days ago a mod saw something different.

I’ve already watched it too much (I only had to see that thumbnail to think “What, no love for Nurchi?”) - I’m just pleasantly surprised that it’s also available outside the US.

I watched a TV show called ‘Justified: City Primeval’ - it’s not very good, but something I found weird was how often the characters mentioned each other’s race I’m from the UK, so maybe it was just badly written, or maybe Americans do actually talk like that.
