I didn't even use the life energy to cast anything useful, I just blew it all on conjuring doves. Because I hate the rye industry and want to kill it.
But no, it's definitely Millennials maliciously tanking his movie. That sounds accurate.
I just didn't want to see it.
He can seethe while I wait for Dune's release in Blu-Ray.
There’s also a COVID resurgence going on in some places. My state is currently seeing the worst infection and hospitalization rates ever.
You joke, but I didn't know. I mean, I'd heard of the movie and even looked up the wikipedia page on the actual duel. Thought, "huh, that's interesting" and moved on. But I didn't realize he directed it, nor would I probably care. He's made a couple of movies I thought were great in the late 70s/early 80s (one of which involved the protagonist raping the love interest, so some mixed feelings there to say the least). He made a couple of movies that I thought were good after that. He's made 23 other movies besides those. Most I either didn't see because they didn't sound interesting enough, saw and thought they were either okay/bad, or avoided because the internet/critics agreed with the conclusion I'd drawn from the trailer that they were terrible.
I'm not sure what more you want from me, Ridley.
To be fair, I myself am giving an equal amount of my wealth to every film, technically.
Eh. I wouldn't have seen it anyway.
I'll pay attention to the Alien films, in case they include some rad element (which does happen, if only by accident).
Yeah, it's not really any more comprehensible when you get the full quote.
Also, Tycho is wearing actual Ridley Scott merch.
Now that I now realize we aren't making some really weird joke about The Duelists, is Scott not complaining about a real valid problem? The millenian want "to gather all the information from technology that it can," it's right there in the article people

People keep using 'millenial' for kids these days, but millennials are mid-20's to late 30's now.
Yeah millennials these days are the people yelling at their kids to wash their hands for the full duration of Frere Jacques and their parents to put their facemask over their mouth and nose.
A lot of millennials didn't grow up with the internet, either. I was 11 at the start of the September That Never Ended and didn't have internet access at home until 9th grade. I grew up with a rotary phone and still had duck and cover drills in school until 3rd grade.
"The kids aren't doing the thing I want them to do because they only do what their phones tell them to do! Stop doing what your phone tells you to do and start doing what I tell you to do!" (In an interview being read primarily on phones)
In the case of movie theaters, ticket and concession prices keep going up while the overall experience hasn't really changed. Meanwhile, home movie watching keeps getting better and cheaper.
Well that and the constant monologues about how maybe that one guy had some good ideas...
Point of order: Ridley Scott was born in 1937, and is thus part of the Silent Generation. (Which is even funnier, given that this is all about him running his mouth off.)
I point this out not to mock your messing it up, but to realize that we probably too frequently call all old people "boomers" just like they call all younger people "millenials".
It doesn't help that theaters are kinda gross and miserable, and with a strong chance of there being at least one person there who's hell-bent on ruining the entertainment for you by being noisy or not having showered in three weeks. It's like being on a plane, but at least with a plane you can listen to the movie with headphones and get drunk.
Though, as the name implies, it's not like the Silent Generation is very prominent in our national discourse. Joe Biden is the only Silent Generation President for example. FDR through HW Bush are all Greatest Generation, and Clinton, W, Obama, and Trump are all Boomers.
Also today I have learned the group after the Zoomers is currently called "Generation Alpha" as the first cohort to be purely 21st century babies
