"Okay everyone find a partner" are the words I least want to hear at these kind of things

Thought that was Willem Dafoe for a second.

Oh cool. Never had a doubt of course. Off to Narnia next apparently (which means I'll have to wait even longer for my imagined Gerwig Star Wars, unfortunately).

I like the idea that these reviewers all had the concept for a perfect Barbie movie, and are then criticising this one for not living up to it.

I think that - like most people - when I heard that Gerwig was making a movie out of Barbie, I thought: how the hell is she going to do that?

Argh. Sorry. Edited. It's nice that we can edit post titles at least.

Yeah I found her captivating in an androgynous sort-of way. It was very tempting to just post a full frame of her beautiful face.

She has a few iconic scenes towards the end of the film, but they're difficult to capture because they're blurred by VFX.

Also, it was a strange I-guess-I'll-just-die-now of drowning.

Just watched ep 1. Think I'll continue in the same way I watched season 1: admiring how good it looks, but finding it frustrating.

As an example: as welcome as a naked Lee Pace fight scene is, it didn't really establish how many assassins there were / what they were doing at any given moment.

Was good to see Holt McCallney (from Mindhunter), show up though.

I've been thinking along the same lines. The bot will catch up on its own missing data in a couple of days - so it's won't need to do the "over 7 days / over 6 days" biz. When everything is for over 7 days, I'll start putting new entries at the top (with maybe just a single line, for previously mentioned stuff)

I think this is the issue - if the community itself isn't tagged, blocking NSFW on your account doesn't filter the posts (although they should be blurry if the posts themselves are tagged).

Fortunately, most of the untagged communities (inc. celebs) are modded by a user called Madness, so blocking him cleared up my feed.

Yeah it's a thankless task. I don't know who it was who thought "Let's start our own Reddit ... with reposted stuff from Reddit!"

[–] freamon@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll give it a try. There's so many Communities (about 20k) and they don't change that often, so it's difficult to know what the best metrics are. Only really to try something new and see whether it produces something interesting. So I'll continue experimenting.
