uses the format of a murder trial to take a snapshot of a relationship and character studies of those involved. Intelligent script, complex characters and plenty of ambiguity. It works extremely well.
Seems nice! What is the temperature now in Canada?
Not sure it’s possible to avoid entirely, as the community here grows we get more of all types, it’s hard to have a truly only-positive community when moderation is voluntary and the masses have full reign to submit literally anything.
Very true, hopefully by the time we get there we'll have more mods tools to allow to identify bots and trolls.
Do you think a technology solution would help? Sentiment analysis on posts and gently redirect people to other communities instead of outright blocking them?
I'm not too sure, I'm always dubious about technology solutions for psychological issues.
Maybe the only real solution is personal resilience and recognizing that we don’t need to feel negative feelings just because we received a negative communication
Yes, I guess so, also why I made this post. I feel better already.
This one is a good thriller (in Dutch): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Loft_(film)
This one is much more absurd (in French): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikkenek
Thank you for your comment.
It features short user reviews, take those with a grain of salt
Are some movies subject to review bombing?
Picking up the vision pro today for work so that’s exciting!
Sounds cool! Hope you'll enjoy it!
I think it’s easy to be negative if a person doesn’t consider the human reading their anonymous posts, people feel empowered to take out their problems from life in general on random faceless internet strangers.
Yeah, definitely. Hopefully in communities like this we can avoid that.
Ha ha, nice one, made me smile.
Nice, happy birthday to you!
On my side I'm going to meet a friend I haven't seen in a long time Saturday morning, and I might get some Lego later today.
Shout out to !lego@lemmy.world for people interested

Argylle gets some mileage out of its silly, energetic spin on the spy thriller, but ultimately wears out its welcome with a convoluted plot and overlong runtime.
The core text of Harry potter itself has many ableist (Durdsley), racist (House elves enjoying slavery) , antisemitic (goblins) and transphobic (Rita Skeeter) themes even if it surface level against racism.
That's the first time I hear the treatment of Rita Skeeter is transphobic. James, Sirius and McGonagall are also able to shapeshift, and they are positive characters in the books.
For the house elves, the whole SPEW plot is designed to both make Ron (and the whole Wizard word as a whole) look stupid and bigoted, and Hermione a bit too self-righteous, as teenagers can be.

I've seen several times that the fact that the society isn't changed by the end of the last book as a critic, but do all work of fictions have to uphold their societies? Game of Thrones definitely isn't becoming a democracy during the books, and Brigderton is as classist as it can be.
Ah, I see, makes sense
