Reply to I don’t understand the reviews of Fatman (2018) Vs. Violent Night (2022) by ProbablyASithLord

few ideas as to why.

1st and most important David Harbor, He is riding a career high atm because of stranger things and i think most people cant get enough of him. also he really is a great actor with lasting power just atm he is top of the game in terms of roles i think.

2nd and unfortunately political Mel Gibson ( who i love as a actor) basically torpedoed himself with anti-Semitism. Unfortunately in this world when people are slighted the go to reviews and leave negative ones. id be willing to be some of the rotten tomato's reviews are from people that are just down voting because gibson. This is a know practice in the Gaming world as well as the movie industry.

3rd and probably the most important is in fat man they may it about money. prolonging the " rich people problems" issue. in Violent night it was a genuinely wholesome albeit violent xmas tale. Santa was generally unlikable in the beginning without being whiney and they made a deep background story.. i want to see a prequel that lead up to Nicus the Red becoming santa.. seriously i need to know how we went from viking warrior to gift giving fat man. David Harbors santa had depth and likeability he also had mystique. I watched it as much to see if they would show more about his past as i did for the Nostalgic vibes of 80/90 xmas movies.

​

Honestly i think the reviews are spot on Fatman was about a Santa pissed off over money Violent night was a santa pissed off over greed. 2 entirely polar opposites and the latter resonating with more people as we are not rich like the 1%

thats just my 2 cents

Reply to Is mining in space socially acceptable? by Gari_305

i think the biggest issue in this is we are going to miss out. While americans, UK and other "first world space nations" debate the "ethics" of mining space rocks the greater space community at large that has sprung up in the recent years ( Saudi arabia, India, China) are just going to do it without care for the ethics. Severely hampering other nations because we will be late to the game because we should mine a rock floating in space.

I get the debate but really if we want to advance as a species this is kinda a big step imo. Larger swaths of Material as the lack of destroying our planet. Less need to worry about wracking the ecosystem with toxic runoff if mining in space or on lifeless planets etc. Honestly i'm not sure why its a debate at times. we can literally save our planet by mining asteroids or lifeless worlds.

I know my rant sounds VERY human ( ie consume consume consume) But that is what we are. there is laws in the universe that dictate this is the order of things. i think we just expect our selves to be better as a race and when you have countries that dont care it will limit the ones power that do.

Reply to If you look closely you can see Whoville in the valley | OC | Mt Baker WA | 1284x1605 by michaelfoosh

Only to drop a bit of wisdom. I am from Massachusetts. While we dont have as majestic of a view Whoville is believed to be based on a real town and the mountain is based on a real mountain. The town is Easthampton and the mountain is Mt Tom. If you google the latter the shape is rather similar. also ill drop a link for the story. I do the hike up Grinches mountain every year to look upon Whoville
